Abstract

Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) is the leading cause of death among infectious diseases in the worldwide. Lack of more sensitive and effective diagnostic reagents has increased the awareness of rapid diagnosis for tuberculosis. In this study, T7 phage displayed genomic DNA library of M. tuberculosis was constructed to screen the antigens that specially bind with TB-positive serum from the whole genome of M. tuberculosis and to improve the sensitivity and specificity of tuberculosis serological diagnosis. After three rounds of biopanning, results of DNA sequencing and BLAST analysis showed that 19 positive phages displayed four different proteins and the occurrence frequency of the phage which displayed ribokinase was the highest. The results of indirect ELISA and dot immunoblotting indicated that representative phages could specifically bind to tuberculosis-positive serum. The prokaryotic expression vector containing the DNA sequence of ribokinase gene was then constructed and the recombinant protein was expressed and purified to evaluate the serodiagnosis value of ribokinase. The reactivity of the recombinant ribokinase with different clinical serum was detected and the sensitivities and specificities in tuberculosis serodiagnosis were 90% and 86%, respectively by screening serum from tuberculosis patients (n = 90) and uninfected individuals (n = 90) based on ELISA. Therefore, this study demonstrated that ribokinase had good potential for the serodiagnosis of tuberculosis.
