Methods:Recombinant chimeric toxin Dsg3EC1-2PE40 was first identified, expressed and purified, and then its effects on T and B lymphocytes of PV patients in vitro were detected and quantified by ELISPOT assay and MTT assay. Results :The purity of the expressed protein Dsg3EC1-2PE40 was up to 80%. In ELISPOT assay, with Dsg3EC1-2PE40, the overall number of B cells that produce anti-Dsg3 antibodies among PV patients was only about 60% of the comparable number with Dsg3EC1-2. The proliferation of T cells of PV patients was inhibited markedly by Dsg3EC1-2PE40. There was significant difference between the different groups with Dsg3EC1-2PE40 and Dsg3EC1-2. Conclusion:The recombinant chimeric toxin Dsg3EC1-2PE40 decrease the number of B cells that produce anti-Dsg3 antibodies in PV patients and can inhibit or kill T cells of PV patients in vitro. 收起
