The endospores of Bacillus subtilis are now widely used as a platform for presentation of heterologous proteins and due to their safety record and high resistance to harsh environmental conditions can be considered as potential vehicles for oral vaccination. In this research we show that recombinant B. subtilis spores presenting a fragment of the Helicobacter acinonychis UreB protein and expressing the ureB gene under vegetative promoter elicit a strong cellular immune response in orally immunized mice when co-administered with spores presenting IL-2. We show for the first time the successful application of two types of recombinant spores, one carrying an antigen and the other an adjuvant, in a single oral immunization.
枯草芽孢杆菌的内生孢子目前被广泛用作展示异源蛋白的平台,由于其安全记录以及对恶劣环境条件的高抗性,可被视为口服疫苗的潜在载体。在本研究中,我们表明,表达牙龈弯曲杆菌尿素酶B(UreB)蛋白片段并在营养启动子下表达ureB基因的重组枯草芽孢杆菌孢子,与表达白细胞介素-2(IL-2)的孢子共同给药时,在口服免疫的小鼠中引发了强烈的细胞免疫反应。我们首次展示了两种重组孢子,一种携带抗原,另一种携带佐剂,在单次口服免疫中的成功应用。
