Abstract: Bacterial ghost technology is a novel method for preparing the inactivated vaccine. This nondenaturing inactivated method keeps many antigenic determinants which serves as a candidate vaccine to prevent pathogenic bacteria. This experiment took lysis E gene from phage PhiX174 DNA by PCR and inserted E gene into pBV220 vector, then cloned protein lysis component (PLC) from expression vector pBV220+E which we had constructed before, this PLC contained repressor protein cI857, lysis E gene and terminator sequence rrnbT1T2, as well inserted PLC into the broad-host shuttle vector pBBR1MCS-2. Finally, the broad-host lysis plasmid pBBR+PLC was electrical transformed into Brucella canis RM6/66. The results showed that the broad-host lysis plasmid had highly killing effect for Brucella canis RM6/66 after 42 ℃ induction and its lysis rate was 100%, meanwhile Brucella canis RM6/66 ghosts were successfully generated. This study used bacterial ghost technology to prepare the Brucella canis ghost, which played an important role in the prevention of canine brucellosis, simultaneously provided a new strategy for human and animals’ vaccine against brucellosis.
