The development of new tuberculosis vaccines remains a global priority, and recombinant vaccines are a frequently investigated option. These vaccines follow a molecular strategy that may enhance protective efficacy. However, their functional differences, particularly with respect to glycosylation, remain unknown. Recent studies have shown that glycosylation plays a key role in the host-pathogen interactions during immune recognition. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in the glycosylation profiles of two recombinant strains of overexpressing Ag85B (Rv1886c) and PstS-1 (Rv0934) antigens of . For each strain, the glycosylation profile was determined by Western blotting with lectins. The results showed the presence of mannosylated proteins and evidence of linked sialic acid proteins. Interestingly, different proteome and glycoproteome profiles were observed between the two recombinant strains and the wild-type strain. We have shown here that the construction of the recombinant strains of has altered the proteome and glycosylation profiles of these strains, leading us to ask what impact these changes might have on the immune response.
新型结核疫苗的开发仍然是全球的重点,重组疫苗是一种经常被研究的选择。这些疫苗采用分子策略,可能增强保护效力。然而,它们在功能上的差异,特别是在糖基化方面,尚不清楚。最近的研究表明,糖基化在免疫识别过程中宿主-病原体相互作用中起着关键作用。本研究旨在确定两种过表达 Ag85B(Rv1886c)和 PstS-1(Rv0934)抗原的重组菌株的糖基化谱的差异。对于每种菌株,通过与凝集素的 Western blot 确定糖基化谱。结果表明存在甘露糖蛋白,并证明存在连接的唾液酸蛋白。有趣的是,两种重组菌株与野生型菌株之间观察到不同的蛋白质组和糖蛋白组谱。我们在这里表明,重组菌株的构建改变了这些菌株的蛋白质组和糖基化谱,这使我们不禁要问这些变化可能对免疫反应产生什么影响。
