Embodiment 1

[0032] Example 1: Construction of Neospora Δgrx S16Δgrx C5 strain

[0033] (1) Basic strain Nc1: The Nc1 strain is an international standard strain with glutaredoxin S16 and glutaredoxin C5 genes, the nucleotide sequences of the glutaredoxin S16 and glutaredoxin C5 genes are sequentially are SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.2.

[0034] (2) Construction of pSAG1-Cas9-NcU6-sggrx S16 plasmid

[0035] The specific steps of pSAG1-Cas9-NcU6-sggrx S16 plasmid construction are as follows:

[0036] ①Using the EuPaGDT library in ToxoDB to design a target site for glutaredoxin S16 gene knockout, and design primers according to the target sequence to amplify the Cas9 fragment (fragment 1) and the Neospora U6 promoter (fragment 2). ), T carrier fragment (fragment No. 3), add grx S16-specific gRNA to the U6 promoter downstream primer and the upstream primer of the T carrier backbone, see the plasmid map figure 1 .

[0037] Fragment No. 1 primer (5'→3'):

Embodiment 2

[0151] Example 2: Characteristics of the Neospora Δgrx S16Δgrx C5 strain

[0152] (1) In vitro invasion and reproduction characteristics of Δgrx S16Δgrx C5 strain

[0153] Plaque assay can comprehensively reflect the invasion, proliferation and situation of Neospora, and the plaque area can directly reflect the invasion and reproduction ability of the parasite. HFFs cells were covered with 12-well cell culture plates, tachyzoites of Δgrx S16Δgrx C5 and Nc1 strains were collected, and then 300 tachyzoites were inoculated into HFF cells, cultured for 7 days, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 30 min, and washed with PBS , and stained with crystal violet. After 20 min of staining at room temperature, the residual crystal violet was washed away with PBS, and the plaque area was counted. The results showed that the plaque area of ​​the Δgrx S16Δgrx C5 and Nc1 strains was significantly different (p>0.05), indicating that the invasion and proliferation ability of t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a Neospora attenuated strain with double deletion of grx S16 and grx C5 genes, and a construction method and application thereof. This strain is missing the glutaredoxin S16 gene (grx S16) and the glutaredoxin C5 gene (grx C5) of Neospora. The nucleotide sequences of the grx S16 gene and the grx C5 gene are shown in SEQ ID NO.1, respectively. and SEQ ID NO.2. The reproductive capacity and virulence of the Neospora grx S16 and grx C5 double gene deletion strains constructed by the present invention are significantly reduced, and can effectively resist the re-infection of Neospora after inoculating mice, and has the ability to become a Neospora attenuated vaccine. potential.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, in particular to a Neospora attenuated strain with double deletion of grx S16 and grx C5 genes and a construction method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Neospora is an obligate intracellular parasitic protozoa. Neospora is a parasitic disease common to many animals and is widespread worldwide. The damage to cattle and dogs is particularly serious, mainly causing abortion, stillbirth and nervous system dysfunction in newborn animals. Neospora infection is one of the important reasons for abortion in dairy cattle. So far, there is no effective vaccine or drug for the control of animal neosporosis. At present, the most effective prevention and control measures against neosporosis are to eliminate infected cattle and purify the herd on the basis of effective detection. Therefore, it is of great significance to construct a promising Neospora attenuated vaccine. [0...
