为了协同人白细胞介素-2(IL-2)与乙型肝炎(乙肝)病毒(HBV)前S抗原(preSAg)的生物学功能,探索能打破持续性感染者对HBV表面抗原(HBsAg)的免疫耐受,诱导机体对HB-sAg和preSAg产生体液和细胞免疫应答的基因免疫与治疗药物,用基因重组方法构建了IL-2和HBV完整preSAg的真核表达嵌合基因及表达质粒pCWIIP。pCWIIP转染的Cos-7细胞能分泌表达IL-2-preS融合蛋白,其表达效率与pCIIL-2转染的细胞表达IL-2一致,细胞上清中IL-2活性单位大于3×103u/ml,并用酶免疫实验法(EIA)检测了preSAg,而其细胞裂解液中IL-2活性很低,preSAg未检测到。本文结果说明preSAg2~19位氨基酸序列的滞留效应是可以克服的。该发现不仅为构建带完整preSAg的新型乙肝疫苗和特异性免疫治疗剂提供了理论与实验依据,而且对蛋白质分泌表达调控的研究也有一定意义。
To explore the biological function of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and pre-S antigen of hepatitis B virus (HBV), we explored the role of IL-2 in preeclampsia against HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) Immune tolerance and induction of humoral and cellular immune responses to HB-sAg and preSAg. The eukaryotic expression chimeric gene and expression plasmid pCWIIP of IL-2 and HBV intact preSAg were constructed by genetic recombination. The expression of IL-2-preS fusion protein was secreted by pCWIIP-transfected Cos-7 cells, which was consistent with the expression of IL-2 in pCIIL-2 transfected cells. The activity of IL-2 in the supernatant was higher than 3 × 103u / ml, and preSAg was detected by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). However, the activity of IL-2 in cell lysate was very low and preSAg was not detected. Our results demonstrate that the retention of the amino acid sequence of amino acids 2-9 of preSAg can be overcome. This finding not only provides a theoretical and experimental basis for the construction of new hepatitis B vaccine and specific immunotherapeutics with intact preSAg, but also has some significance for the study of the regulation of protein secretion and expression.
