Optimization of recombinant Zika virus NS1 protein secretion from HEK293 cells.

Sensitive, accurate and cost-effective diagnostic tests are needed to detect the Zika virus (ZIKV) infection. Nonstructural 1 (NS1) glycoprotein is an excellent diagnostic marker because it was released in a hexameric conformation of the infected cells into the bloodstream of patients in the early course of infection.

 We established a stable system Fungal Recombinant Proteins of his rZNS1-expression in HEK293 cells through lentiviral transduction. New optimization approach to improve his rZNS1 secretion of proteins in mammalian expression systems is achieved through incubation of 50 nM rapamycin followed by incubation in serum-free media for 9 days, attaining the protein from ~ 10 mg / l of culture medium. 

His rZNS1 purified hexamer recognized by anti-NS1 antibodies in serum ZIKV patients, and demonstrated the ability to induce a humoral response in mice immunized. recombinant proteins obtained are reliable biological tool that can potentially be applied in the development of diagnostic tests to detect infected ZIKV in patients during the acute phase.

Gold nanoparticles enhance the immune response in mice against hog cholera virus E2 recombinant proteins.


To create a novel subunit vaccines that AuNPs used as a carrier to enhance the immune response in mice against recombinant classical swine fever virus E2 protein (CSFV E2) .Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) successfully merged into the E2 protein forms a complex and unstable particle called conjugated AuNPs E2 (E2 -AuNPs). 

In vitro studies have shown that Hapten Conjugates Proteins E2-AuNPs complex have the same immunogenicity of protein E2, and AuNPs can promote phagocytosis of E2 protein by antigen-presenting cells (APC). In vivo results of BALB / c mice showed that antibody levels, the index of lymphocyte proliferation, IFN-γ and IL-10 cytokines induced by E2-AuNPs is relatively higher than E2 or AuNPs group.

This findings demonstrate the potential of using AuNPs as a carrier to improve immune response to develop CSFV subunit vaccine. This model also contributes to the development of subunit flavivirus vaccines, such as hepatitis C virus (HCV) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV).

Expression and serological application of recombinant epitope-repeat protein carrying an immunodominant epitope of Newcastle disease virus nucleoprotein.

The purpose of this study was to develop serodiagnostic test for differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals strategy (DIVA) which accompanies a marker vaccine less immunodominant epitope (IDE) from the nucleoprotein of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) .Recombinant epitope-repeat protein (rERP) genes that encode eight IDE sequence repeats (ETQFLDLMRAVANSMR) by tetra-glycine linker was synthesized.  Recombinant baculovirus carrying the gene Canine Recombinant Proteins  for expressing rERP rERP produced in insect cells. Specificity and sensitivity enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay indirect (ELISA) employing rERP is evaluated The rERP with a molecular weight of 20 kDa successfully expressed by recombinant baculovirus in an insect-baculovirus system. The rERP is functional antigen as shown by Western blotting. ELISA indirectly employs rERP developed and specificity and sensitivity is determined. ELISA test allows discrimination of NDV-infected sera from vaccinated deletion v...

Recombinant Lactococcus Lactis Expressing M1-HA2 Fusion Protein Provides Protective Mucosal Immunity Against H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus in Chickens.

H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus of low pathogenicity (LPAIV) are distributed worldwide and cause enormous economic losses in the poultry industry. Although almost all the chickens immunized with the inactivated vaccine, the disease is still widespread. We speculate that increase mucosal or cellular immune response may contribute to improving the H9N2 virus surveillance.  In this study, we Bovine Recombinant Proteins  constructed a novel Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) strain expressing a recombinant fusion protein consisting of the M1 and HA2 proteins derived from the H9N2 viral strain endemic conserved antigens. M1-HA2 fusion protein was cloned downstream of the gene encoding the secretory peptide, and we subsequently confirmed that the fusion protein is secreted from L.  lactis by Western blotting. We assess the immunogenicity and protective effects of recombinant L. lactis this tension. Eight chicken 1-day-old were divided into four groups, and the experimental grou...
