Abstract:
Objective: To clone and express Treponema pallidum (TP) specific antigens P15 and P47 and use them in clinical examination. Methods: P15 and p47 genes synthesized were inserted into a GST fusion expression vector. The recombinant antigens were purified by affinity chromatography and then coated on microplates to establish an ELISA kit. Using this kit, national TP standards, sera of normal persons and patients with TP and other diseases were tested. Results: The synthesized p15 and p47 genes sequenced were identical with those of GenBank. National TP standards were tested by ELISA kit which coated with these recombinant antigens, and the results accorded with the standards. High sensitivity and specificity was showed when 2 recombinant antigens were used in ELISA to detect the sera of normal persons and patients with TP and other diseases. Conclusion: The recombinant TP specific antigen P15 and P47 are suitable for establishment of ELISA kit in clinical examination.
