In order to characterize the immunogenicity and immunoprotection of the Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) surface protein Clumping factor A (ClfA), we amplified clfa genes from S. aureus Newman strain, Wood46 strain and HLJ23-1. The clfa gene from Newman strain was subsequently inserted into pQE-30 vector and the recombinant plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli strain M15 (pREP4). The recombinant ClfA protein was expressed and purified. Then, we immunized mice with the purified recombinant protein. The antibody level and the concentration of cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Finally, immunized mice were challenged with S. aureus Newman, Wood46 and HLJ23-1. These results suggested that clfa gene sequences were highly conserved, and the recombinant ClfA was expressed correctly with good antigenicity. The antibody titer and the concentration of cytokines in the immunized groups increased significantly (P < 0.05) compared with control, and the mice in the immunized groups were protected against the challenge strains to some extent. These results showed that the ClfA had high immunogenicity and immunoprotective potential.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D003030 Coagulase Enzymes that cause coagulation in plasma by forming a complex with human PROTHROMBIN. Coagulases are produced by certain STAPHYLOCOCCUS and YERSINIA PESTIS. Staphylococci produce two types of coagulase: Staphylocoagulase, a free coagulase that produces true clotting of plasma, and Staphylococcal clumping factor, a bound coagulase in the cell wall that induces clumping of cells in the presence of fibrinogen.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.
