The study identified immune expressive proteins HflC, HflK, and YhcI which showed a 60% survivability in clearing Edwardsiella from the host. These immunoreactive proteins induced a strong immune response post-infection, leading to significant production of IL-10, IFN-gamma, Th1, and Th2 mediated mRNA expression, thus proving effective in vaccine production for edwardsiellosis.
Edwardsiella tarda is a severe aquaculture pathogen that can infect many hosts including humans, animals, and fish. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the control of edwardsiellosis in the aqua industry. By using rabbit polyclonal antibody, an expression gene library of virulent Edwardsiella tarda strain ED-BDU 1 isolated in south India was constructed and screened. The identified immune expressive proteins were characterized, and the corresponding coding sequences were cloned, expressed, and the purified recombinant proteins were used as antigens. The identified immunoreactive proteins namely HflC, HflK, and YhcI were studied for their immune protective potential in vivo by challenge experiments. The protective efficacy of HflC, HflK, and YhcI showed that the clearance of Edwardsiella from the host with ~ 60% survivability. Further, the immunoreactive proteins induce a strong immune response upon infection and elicit the significant production of IL-10, IFN-gamma, Th1, and Th2 mediated mRNA expression and were therefore effective in vaccine production for edwardsiellosis.
