[0001] The present invention relates to a strain capable of displaying PA on the surface of spores 20 Proteins of Bacillus anthracis and their applications. Background technique
[0002] The anthrax spore attack after 9 / 11 caused people to panic about biological weapons. The spores formed by Bacillus anthracis have a long survival time, are easy to spread, and cause anthrax bacillosis with fast onset time and high mortality. It is listed as a Class B infectious disease in my country and is one of the weapons of choice for terrorists.
[0003] The virulent strain of B. anthracis contains two large plasmids, which are pXO1 plasmid (184.5kbp) encoding toxin base and pXO2 plasmid (95.3kbp) for synthesizing capsule-related genes. Strongly virulent strains require the existence of two kinds of plasmids. If pXO1 is lacking, no toxin will be produced, which means attenuated bacteria; if pXO2 is lacking, capsules will not be formed, which is a hundred times less vir...
