Clonorchis sinensis: Expression, characterization, immunolocalization and serological reactivity of one excretory/secretory antigen-LPAP homologue
From a Clonorchis sinensis adult cDNA plasmid library, a cDNA clone encoding a novel lysophosphatidic acid phosphatase (LPAP) homologue was isolated. The predicted molecular weight of putative protein was 48.8 kDa and the deduced amino acid sequence had 45%, 32%, and 29% identity with LPAP of Schist...

Zusammenfassung: | From a
Clonorchis sinensis adult cDNA plasmid library, a cDNA clone encoding a novel lysophosphatidic acid phosphatase (LPAP) homologue was isolated. The predicted molecular weight of putative protein was 48.8
kDa and the deduced amino acid sequence had 45%, 32%, and 29% identity with LPAP of
Schistosoma japonicum,
Danio rerio, and
Homo sapiens, respectively. Prediction of signal peptide and Western blot analysis indicated that the CsLPAP homologue was an excretory–secretory antigen (ES antigen) of
C. sinensis. Immunostaining revealed that the CsLPAP was markedly localized in the intestinal cecum, seminal receptacle and eggs of the adult worm. The recombinant CsLPAP showed slightly higher sensitivity (82.14%) and specificity (85.86%) than the crude worm antigen by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), a result which suggested that the recombinant antigen might be valuable in the serodiagnosis of human clonorchiasis. |
