Malaria, one of the most common vector borne human diseases, is a major world health issue. In 2015 alone, more than 200 million people were infected with malaria, out of which, 429 000 died. Even though artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACT) are highly effective at treating malaria infections, novel efforts toward development of vaccines to prevent transmission are still needed. Pfs25, a postfertilization stage parasite surface antigen, is a leading transmission-blocking vaccine (TBV) candidate. It is postulated that Pfs25 anchors to the cell membrane using a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linker, which itself possesses pro-inflammatory properties. In this study, Escherichia coli derived extract (XtractCF+TM) was used in cell free protein synthesis [CFPS] to successfully express >200 mg/L of recombinant Pfs25 with a C-terminal non-natural amino acid (nnAA), namely, p-azidomethyl phenylalanine (pAMF), which possesses a reactive azide group. Thereafter, a unique conjugate vaccine (CV), namely, Pfs25-GPI was generated with dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) derivatized glycan core of malaria GPI using a simple but highly efficient copper free click chemistry reaction. In mice immunized with Pfs25 or Pfs25-GPI, the Pfs25-GPI group showed significantly higher titers compared to the Pfs25 group. Moreover, only purified IgGs from Pfs25-GPI group were able to significantly block transmission of parasites to mosquitoes, as judged by a standard membrane feeding assay [SMFA]. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the generation of a CV using Pfs25 and malaria specific GPI where the GPI is shown to enhance the ability of Pfs25 to elicit transmission blocking antibodies.

疟疾衍生的糖基磷脂酰肌醇锚可以增强阻止疟疾传播的抗Pfs25功能抗体。

疟疾是人类最常见的媒介传播疾病之一,是世界主要的健康问题。仅在2015年,就有2亿多人感染了疟疾,其中429 000例死亡。尽管基于青蒿素的联合疗法(ACT)在治疗疟疾感染方面非常有效,但仍需要在开发疫苗以预防传播方面做出新的努力。Pfs25是受精后阶段的寄生虫表面抗原,是领先的阻断传播疫苗(TBV)候选者。据推测,Pfs25使用糖基磷脂酰肌醇(GPI)接头锚定到细胞膜上,该接头本身具有促炎特性。在这项研究中,大肠杆菌提取物(XtractCF + TM)用于无​​细胞蛋白质合成[CFPS]中,可成功表达> 具有C端非天然氨基酸(nnAA)的200 mg / L重组Pfs25,即具有反应性叠氮基的对叠氮基甲基苯丙氨酸(pAMF)。此后,使用简单但高效的无铜点击化学反应,用二苯并环辛炔(DBCO)衍生的疟疾GPI聚糖核心生成了独特的偶联疫苗(CV),即Pfs25-GPI。在用Pfs25或Pfs25-GPI免疫的小鼠中,Pfs25-GPI组的滴度明显高于Pfs25组。此外,根据标准的膜饲喂测定法[SMFA]判断,只有来自Pfs25-GPI组的纯化IgG才能显着阻断寄生虫向蚊子的传播。据我们所知,
