Abstract:

Using the expression of purified choline binding protein B (CbpB) of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae(ER) to establish an indirect ELISA method for detecting ER antibodies, the CbpB gene of ER was cloned and linked to pGEx-6P-1 prokaryotic expression vector. The positive recombinant plasmid was identified by PCR, double enzyme digestion and sequencing.The positive recombinant plasmid was transferred into E.coil BL21, induced by IPTG, and the product was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western-blot. Using purified recombinant CbpB protein as coating antigen, an indirect ELISA method (CbpB-ELISA) for detection of ER antibody was established through a series of optimization of reaction conditions, and was applied to the detection of clinical pig serum samples. The optimal conditions for this method were as follows: the concentration of encapsulated antigen was 1.0 μg·mL-1 at 4 ℃ overnight; 5% skim milk powder was sealed at 37 ℃ for 2 hours. The serum dilution was 1∶100 which was incubated at 37 ℃ for 60 min. The dilution of the secondary antibody was 1∶1 000, and it was treated at 37 ℃ for 45 min. The color development time was 10 min at 37 ℃. This method could specifically detect ER antibody, and had no cross reactivity with other pig pathogen positive serum. The method was sensitive to detect antibody even when the positive serum was diluted to 1∶12 800. Both the intra- and inter-coefficients of variation were less than 10.00%. Compared with the methods of whole cell-ELISA, SpaA-ELISA, commercial ELISA kit and Western-blot, the total coincidence rate of these methods were 91.67%, 93.33%, 86.67% and 90.00%, respectively. The positive coincidence rates were 92.45%, 94.55%, 88.89% and 90.91%, respectively. The negative coincidence rates were 85.71%, 80.00%, 66.67% and 80.00%, respectively. The detection of pig serum samples with and without ER immunization showed that the immune antibody positive rate was 86.67%, and the infection antibody positive rate was 30.50%. The indirect ELISA detection method of ER antibody based on recombinant CbpB protein had good specificity, sensitivity, repeatability and reliability of clinical application, which provided a technical support for immune surveillance and epidemiological investigation of ER.
