Abstract in Portuguese
A leptospirose é uma zoonose mundial causada por bactéria do gênero Leptospira. O desenvolvimento de uma vacina de subunidade eficaz seria de grande interesse em saúde pública. Propusemos investigar 4 antigenos de Leptospira interrogans srv Copenhageni, genes LIC12659, LIC12660, LIC12631 e LIC10868, os quais foram amplificados e clonados nos vetores de expressão pAE e pAEsox. As proteínas VapB, VapC, VapBC e Sph2 foram expressas em E. coli e em salmonela SL3261 e purificadas por cromatografia de afinidade a metal. As atividades hemolítica de Sph2 e ribonucleásica de VapC não foram evidenciadas, possivelmente devido a diferenças estruturais entre as proteínas recombinantes e as nativas. Os clones de E. coli com os genes do módulo toxina-antitoxina vapBC sofreram os efeitos de inibição (vapC) e recuperação (vapBC) de crescimento, como descrito. As proteínas recombinantes, VapB purificada ou em salmonlea e Sph2, mostraram-se imunogênicas em camundongos e em hamsters. A imunização com Salmonela-VapB determinou a melhor proteção no teste de desafio.

Abstract in English
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis worldwide distributed, caused by bacteria from the genus Leptospira. The development of an efficient vaccine of sub-unities would be of major interest for public health. We proposed to investigate 4 antigens from Leptospira interrogans srv Copenhageni, genes LIC12659, LIC12660, LIC12631 and LIC10868, which were amplified and cloned into expression vectors pAE and pAEsox. The proteins VapB, VapC, VapBC and Sph2 were expressed in E. coli and in salmonella SL3261, and purified by metal-affinity chromatography. The activities hemolytic of Sph2 and ribonuclease of VapC were not confirmed, possibly due to differences between native and recombinant proteins. The clones of E. coli with genes of the toxin-antitoxin module vapBC suffered inhibition (vapC) and recovery (vapBC) of growth rate as described. The recombinant proteins VapB purified or in salmonella and purified Sph2, showed to be immunogenic in mice and in hamsters. The immunization with Salmonella-VapB determined better protection on challenge assay.
