Problems solved by technology

Heterologous antigen delivery is particularly advantageous for the treatment or prevention of diseases or conditions caused, inter alia, by toxic or lethal sources such as cancer or pathogens (e.g., HIV or hepatitis B), where injection of natural sensors or cancer cells affects the affected organisms are potentially harmful and administration of attenuated or inactivated pathogens or cells has proven unsuccessful in eliciting an effective immune response, or where adequate attenuation of the sensor or cancer cells cannot be assured with certainty

Embodiment 28

[0282] Alternatively, other known intergenic regions or synthetic sequences can be used to construct polycistronic expression cassettes for use in Listeria or other bacteria. Construction of intergenic regions leading to substantial secondary RNA structure should be prevented to avoid unwanted termination of transcription by rho-independent mechanisms.

[0283] Importantly, signal peptides must functionally link each coding region if secretion of any or all translated proteins expressed from polycistronic messages is desired. In some embodiments, these signal peptides are different from each other.

[0284] Thus, in some embodiments, the expression cassettes described herein for use in Listeria or other bacteria are polycistronic (eg, dicistronic). Two or more polypeptides are encoded as discrete polypeptides by a bicistronic or polycistronic expression cassette. In some embodiments, the bicistronic or polycistronic expression cassette includes an intergenic sequence (eg, fr...

[0453] Example 1. Preparation of Exemplary Mutant Listeria Strains

[0454] The Listeria strain was derived from 10403S (Bishop et al., J. Immunol. 139:2005 (1987)). Listeria strains with in-frame deletions of the indicated genes were generated by SOE-PCR and allelic exchange using well-established methods (Camilli, et al., Mol. Microbiol. 8:143 (1993)). Mutant LLO L461T (DP-L4017) is described in Glomski et al., J. Cell. Biol. 156:1029 (2002), incorporated herein by reference. actA - The mutant strain (DP-L4029) is the DP-L3078 strain described in Skoble et al., J. of Cell Biology, 150:527-537 (2000), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, and whose prophage has self-healed. (Prophage self-healing is described in (Lauer et al., J. Bacteriol. 184:4177 (2002); US Patent Publication No. 2003 / 0203472)). actA - wxya - The construction of strains is described in US Provisional Application 60 / 446,051, filed February 6, 2003, as L4029 / uvrAB (see, eg, Exampl...

[0456] Example 2. Construction of Listeria strains expressing AH1 / OVA or AH1-A5 / OVA

[0457] A mutant Listeria strain expressing a truncated form of the model antigen ovalbumin (OVA), an immunodominant epitope called AH1 (SPSYVYHQF (SEQ ID NO :72)); and altered epitopes AH1-A5 (SPSYAYHQF (SEQ ID NO:73); Slansky et al., Immunity, 13:529-538 (2000)). The pPL2 integrating vector (Lauer et al., J Bacteriol. 184:4177 (2002); U.S. Patent Publication No. 2003 / 0203472) was used to generate a single copy of OVA and AH1- A5 / OVA recombinant Listeria strain.

[0458] A. Construction of OVA-expressing Listeria (DP-L4056)

[0459] An antigen expression cassette consisting of hemolysin-deleted LLO fused to truncated OVA and contained in the pPL2 integration vector (pPL2 / LLO-OVA) was first made. By attaching tRNA at the PSA (phage from ScottA) Arg -attBB' Introduction of pPL2 / LLO-OVA into phage self-healing Listeria monocytogenes strain DP-L4056 to generate Listeria-OVA vaccine strain. ...

Abstract

The present invention provides recombinant nucleic acid molecules, expression cassettes and vectors for expressing polypeptides including heterologous polypeptides such as antigens in bacteria. Some recombinant nucleic acid molecules, expression cassettes and vectors include codon-optimized sequences encoding polypeptides and / or signal peptides. Some recombinant nucleic acid molecules, expression cassettes and expression vectors include sequences encoding non-Listeria and / or non-secA1 signal peptides for secreted polypeptides. The present invention also provides bacteria comprising nucleic acid molecules, expression cassettes and expression vectors, and compositions such as vaccines comprising the bacteria. Methods of making and using the bacteria, recombinant nucleic acid molecules and expression cassettes are also provided.
