Abstract in Portuguese
A utilização de vacinas destaca-se como medida preventiva contra a leptospirose. Sete potenciais antígenos vacinais de L. interrogans sorovar Copenhageni foram estudados: LipL32, LipL23 e LipL22 (lipoproteínas), SphH e Sph4 (hemolisinas), AnkB (domínio anquirina) e OmpA76 (domínio OmpA). Os genes foram amplificados, clonados e as proteínas expressas em E.coli e Salmonella enterica para ensaios de imunização e desafio. As sete proteínas foram purificadas. No primeiro desafio, hamsters foram imunizados com a salmonela recombinante para expressar a OmpA76 e desafiados com sorovar Pomona. Sobreviveu 30% do grupo salmonela recombinante, 100% da vacina comercial e 10% dos controles. No segundo desafio, hamsters foram imunizados com pool das sete proteínas e desafiados com sorovar Copenhageni. Sobreviveram 30% do grupo pool de proteínas, 90% da vacina comercial, 100% da bacterina e 0% do grupo PBS. A LipL32, OmpA76, LipL23 e LipL22 reagiram com soros de hamsters infectados. Extratos de leptospiras foram reconhecidos pelos soros específicos contra LipL32, OmpA76 e LipL23.

Abstract in English
Preventive measures as vaccines are the best strategies to combat leptospirosis. Seven potential vaccine candidates from L. iInterrogans serovar Copenhageni were studied: LipL32, LipL23 and LipL22 (lipoproteins), SphH e Sph4 (hemolysins), AnkB (ankyrin domain) and OmpA76 (OmpA domain). The genes were amplified, cloned and the proteins expressed in E. Coli e Salmonella enteric for challenge assays. In the first assay, hamsters were immunized with the recombinant salmonella to express OmpA76 in vivo, and challenged with serovar Pomona. The survival was 30% of the recombinant salmonella group, 100% of the commercial vaccine and 10% of the control groups. In the second assay, hamsters were immunized with a pool of the purified proteins and challenged with serovar Copenhageni. The survival was 30% of the group pool of proteins, 90% of the commercial vaccine, 100% of the bacterin and 0% of the PBS group. LipL32, OmpA76, LipL23 and LipL22 reacted with hamsters infected sera. Leptospiral extracts were recognized by specific sera against LipL32, OmpA76 and LipL23.
