摘要

背景:布鲁氏菌病是一种影响全球人群的重要人畜共患疾病,其诊断长期以来一直存在挑战。本研究旨在探讨多表位融合蛋白在人布鲁氏菌病诊断中的应用价值。方法:选取8种重要的布鲁氏菌外膜蛋白(OMPs): BP26、omp10、omp16、omp25、omp2a、omp2b和omp31。利用生物信息学技术预测这些蛋白的免疫表位,并设计了一个多表位融合蛋白。将该融合蛋白作为抗原,对100份阳性血清和96份阴性血清进行间接酶联免疫吸附试验(iELISA)。采用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线评价融合蛋白对布鲁氏菌病的诊断效果。结果:从8个蛋白中预测了31个表位,并成功获得了一个多表位融合蛋白。对于人血清样本的检测,融合蛋白的ROC曲线下面积(AUC)为0.9594,阳性诊断准确率为91.26%,阴性诊断准确率为93.55%。脂多糖(LPS)的ROC曲线下面积为0.9999,阳性诊断准确率为100%,阴性诊断准确率为98.97%。结论:利用生物信息学技术构建的融合蛋白作为诊断抗原,交叉反应性明显降低,特异性增强,提高了诊断准确性。这样既节省了时间,又避免了LPS抗原的制备,使诊断过程更加安全方便。

Establishment of an I-ELISA method based on multi-epitope fusion protein for diagnosis of human brucellosis.

Background: Brucellosis is a significant zoonotic disease that impacts people globally, and its diagnosis has long posed challenges. This study aimed to explore the application value of multi-epitope fusion protein in the diagnosis of human brucellosis.

Methods: Eight important Brucella outer membrane proteins (OMPs) were selected: BP26, omp10, omp16, omp25, omp2a, omp2b, and omp31. Bioinformatics techniques were used to predict the immune epitopes of these proteins, and a multi-epitope fusion protein was designed. This fusion protein was used as the antigen for indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA) testing on 100 positive and 96 negative serum samples. The performance of the fusion protein in diagnosing brucellosis was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

Results: A total of 31 epitopes were predicted from the eight proteins, and a multi-epitope fusion protein was successfully obtained. For the detection of human serum samples, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the fusion protein was 0.9594, with a positive diagnostic accuracy of 91.26% and a negative diagnostic accuracy of 93.55%. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for lipopolysaccharides (LPS) was 0.9999, with a positive diagnostic accuracy of 100% and a negative diagnostic accuracy of 98.97%.

Conclusions: The fusion protein constructed using bioinformatics techniques, as the diagnostic antigen, showed significantly reduced cross-reactivity and enhanced specificity, improving diagnostic accuracy. This not only saves time but also avoids the preparation of LPS antigens, making the diagnostic process safer and more convenient.

期刊介绍: PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases publishes research devoted to the pathology, epidemiology, prevention, treatment and control of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), as well as relevant public policy. The NTDs are defined as a group of poverty-promoting chronic infectious diseases, which primarily occur in rural areas and poor urban areas of low-income and middle-income countries. Their impact on child health and development, pregnancy, and worker productivity, as well as their stigmatizing features limit economic stability. All aspects of these diseases are considered, including: Pathogenesis Clinical features Pharmacology and treatment Diagnosis Epidemiology Vector biology Vaccinology and prevention Demographic, ecological and social determinants Public health and policy aspects (including cost-effectiveness analyses).
