Abstract：
:A 30-kDa surface collagen binding protein peroxiredoxin of Entamoeba histolytica (EhCBP30) was evaluated either alone or fused to the chaperone (CHP) or ATPase (ATP) domains of heat shock protein 70 of Trypanosoma cruzi (TcHSP70) as a vaccine candidate in a hamster model of experimental amoebic liver abscess (ALA) development. Three constructs were produced containing the EhCBP30 DNA sequence, one expressing EhCBP30 and two expressing EhCBP30 fused to either CHP or ATP domains of TcHSP70. High purity recombinant proteins rEhCBP30, rEhCBP30-CHP and rEhCBP30-ATP with N-terminal His tag were obtained by single step affinity purification. Hamsters were immunized without adjuvant with the antigenic recombinant proteins and then challenged intrahepatically with E. histolytica trophozoites. A 70% decrease in ALA development was detected in hamsters immunized with rEhCBP30 and rEhCBP30-CHP, while animals immunized with rEhCBP30-ATP did not show a statistically significant decrease in ALA formation compared with non-immunized animals. Histological analysis of liver tissue showed that the inflammatory infiltrate was discrete or moderate in hamsters immunized with rEhCBP30 or rEhCBP30-CHP compared with that observed in control hamsters or hamsters immunized with rEhCBP30-ATP. These results suggest that rEhCBP30 and rEhCBP30-CHP are able to induce an effective immune response that may protect hamsters against ALA development.
