Despite numerous efforts to develop an effective vaccine against , no vaccine has yet been approved for human use. This study investigates the utility of the inherently produced polyhydroxyalkanaote (PHA) inclusions and associated host-cell proteins (HCP) as a particulate vaccine platform. We further engineered PHA inclusions to display epitopes derived from the outer membrane proteins OprF/OprI/AlgE (Ag) or the type III secretion system translocator PopB. PHA and engineered PHA beads induced antigen-specific humoral, cell-mediated immune responses, anti-HCP and anti-polysaccharide Psl responses in mice. Antibodies mediated opsonophagocytic killing and serotype-independent protective immunity as shown by 100% survival upon challenge with in an acute pneumonia murine model. Vaccines were stable at 4 °C for at least one year. Overall, our data suggest that vaccination with subcellular empty PHA beads was sufficient to elicit multiple immune effectors that can prevent infection.
尽管为研发一种有效的抗[病原体名称]疫苗付出了诸多努力,但尚无疫苗获批用于人类。本研究调查了[病原体名称]天然产生的聚羟基链烷酸酯(PHA)包涵体及相关宿主细胞蛋白(HCP)作为颗粒疫苗平台的效用。我们进一步对PHA包涵体进行工程改造,使其展示源自外膜蛋白OprF/OprI/AlgE(Ag)或III型分泌系统转运蛋白PopB的表位。PHA和工程化PHA珠在小鼠中诱导了抗原特异性体液免疫、细胞介导的免疫反应、抗HCP和抗多糖Psl反应。抗体介导调理吞噬杀伤作用以及血清型非依赖性保护性免疫,如在急性肺炎小鼠模型中经[病原体名称]攻击后100%存活所示。疫苗在4℃下至少稳定一年。总体而言,我们的数据表明,用亚细胞空PHA珠进行疫苗接种足以引发多种免疫效应物,从而预防[病原体名称]感染。
