The cysteine proteinases of Paragonimus westermani are known to play important roles in invasion and pathogenesis to hosts and in immune modulation and nutrient uptake. In this study, we have cloned a new cysteine proteinase of P. westermani, PwCP2, from adult worms and tested its diagnostic usefulness. The PwCP2 gene had an open reading frame of 816 base pairs and a conserved catalytic triad of cysteine, histidine, and asparagine residues. The mature form of recombinant PwCP2 (rPwCP2) lacking a proregion was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and used to produce antiserum. Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses using this antiserum showed that PwCP2 was expressed as a mature form, 24-kD product in a crude extract and in the excretory-secretory product of P. westermani, and was localized mainly in the intestinal epithelium of the adult worm. Western blot analysis using the rPwCP2 showed not only high sensitivity (90%) and specificity (100%) to sera from patients with paragonimiasis westermani, but also no cross-reactivity with sera from patients with clonorchiasis, sparganosis, or cysticercosis. Furthermore, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using rPwCP2 exhibited a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 93% with sera of rats infected with P. westermani metacercariae. These results suggest that the excretory-secretory PwCP2 can be used for the diagnosis of paragonimiasis.
