Serum from a dog immunized with blood plasma from a B. gibsoni-infected dog, putatively containing secreted antigens, was used to screen a cDNA expression library. A novel gene encoding BgSA1 was identified from the isolated clones. The serum raised in mice immunized with the recombinant BgSA1 expressed in Escherichia coli could recognize a native parasite protein with a molecular mass of 59 kDa. Comparing with the previously established ELISA with recombinant P50 as antigen, the ELISA with recombinant BgSA1 as the antigen was more sensitive when they were used to detect field samples. Moreover, a sandwich ELISA with anti-BgSA1 antibodies could detect the circulating BgSA1 in a serial blood plasma from a dog experimentally infected with B. gibsoni. These...

Babesia gibsoni: An apical membrane antigen-1 homologue and its antibody response in the infected dogs
Provedor de dados: Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine Academic Repository (OAK)
Autores: Zhou, Jinlin; Yang, Jun; Zhang, Guohong; Nishikawa, Yoshifumi; Fujisaki, Kozo; Xuan, Xuenan.
A cDNA encoding the apical membrane antigen-1 (AMA-1) homologue was obtained by immunoscreening a cDNA expression library prepared from Babesia gibsoni merozoite mRNA. The complete nucleotide sequence of the gene was 2062 bp. Computer analysis suggested that the sequence contains an open reading frame of 1794 bp with a coding capacity of approximately 66 kDa. Based on the homology analysis, this putative protein was designated as B. gibsoni AMA-1 (BgAMA-1). The BgAMA-1 gene was expressed in the Escherichia coli BL21 strain and used as the antigen in Western blotting and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results indicated that BgAMA-1 was recognized as an immunodominant antigen by the host immune system and that it induced a strong antibody...

Babesia gibsoni rhoptry-associated protein 1 and its potential use as a diagnostic antigen
Provedor de dados: Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine Academic Repository (OAK)
Autores: Zhou, Jinlin; Jia, Honglin; Nishikawa, Yoshifumi; Fujisaki, Kozo; Xuan, Xuenan.
A cDNA encoding the rhoptry-associated protein 1 (RAP-1) homologue was obtained by immunoscreening an expression library prepared from Babesia gibsoni merozoite mRNA. The complete nucleotide sequence of the gene was 1740bp. Computer analysis suggested that the sequence contains an open reading frame of 1425bp encoding an expected protein with a molecular weight of 52kDa. Based on the sequence similarity, this putative protein was designated as the B. gibsoni RAP-1 (BgRAP-1). The BgRAP-1 gene was expressed in the Escherichia coli BL21 strain, and the recombinant BgRAP-1 was used as the antigen in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results can differentiate between the B. gibsoni-infected dog sera and the Babesia canis infected dog sera or...

Babesia gibsoni ribosomal phosphoprotein P0 induces cross-protective immunity against B-microti infection in mice
Provedor de dados: Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine Academic Repository (OAK)
Autores: Terkawi, M. Alaa; Jia, Honglin; Zhou, Jinlin; Lee, Eung-goo; Igarashi, Ikuo; Fujisaki, Kozo; Nishikawa, Yoshifumi; Xuan, Xuenan.
Babesia gibsoni ribosomal phosphoprotein PO (BgP0) was identified as an immunodominant cross-reactive antigen with B. microti. The BgPO gene is a single copy with a predicted open reading frame of 942 bp and 314 amino acids. The BgP0 was expressed as a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein in Escherichia coli. The serum raised in mice with the recombinant BgPO showed a specific band with a 34-kDa molecular mass in the extracts of B. gibsoni and B. microti merozoites. Furthermore, the intraperitoneal (i.p.) immunization of rBgP0 and Freund's adjuvant induced strong Immoral response consisting of mixed immunoglobulins IgG1 and IgG2a in BALB/c mice. Following the challenge with B. microti, these mice delayed the onset of parasites and significantly reduced...
