[0001] COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING MYCOBACTERIAL INFECTION SEQUENCE LISITNG The instant application contains a Sequence Listing which has been submitted electronically in XML format and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Said XML copy, created on November 19, 2024, is named “01948-292WO2_Sequence_Listing_11_19_24” and is 1,604,995 bytes in size. BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of death from infectious disease worldwide with more than 1.5 million deaths in 2020. TB burden has increased in recent years due to the economic and public health sequelae of COVID-19, reversing decades of modest improvement. The burden of TB is particularly high in low- and middle-income countries, where TB is a primary driver of all-cause morbidity and mortality with little change in recent decades. This is in part due to the limited efficacy of the Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine. Therefore, there remains a need in the field for developing next-generation compositions suitable for vaccination against TB.

DEFINTIONS Unless otherwise defined herein, scientific, and technical terms used herein have the meanings that are commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. In the event of any latent ambiguity, definitions provided herein take precedent over any dictionary or extrinsic definition. Unless otherwise required by context, singular terms shall include pluralities and plural terms shall include the singular. The use of "or" means "and / or" unless stated otherwise. The use of the term "including," as well as other forms, such as "includes" and "included," is not limiting. As used herein, the term "about," as applied to one or more values of interest, refers to a value that falls within 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or less in either direction (greater than or less than) of a stated reference value, unless otherwise stated or otherwise evident from the context (except where such number would exceed 100% of a possible value). The term “adjuvant” refers to a pharmacological or immunological agent that modifies the effect of other agents (e.g., vaccines) while having few if any direct effects when given by itself. They are often included in vaccines to enhance the recipient's immune response to a supplied antigen while keeping the injected foreign material at a minimum. As used herein, by “administering” is meant a method of giving a dosage of a composition (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition (e.g., an immunogenic composition (e.g., a vaccine))) to a subject. The compositions utilized in the methods described herein can be administered, for example, intramuscularly, intravenously, intradermally, percutaneously, intraarterially, intraperitoneally, intralesionally, intracranially, intraarticularly, intraprostatically, intrapleurally, intratracheally, intranasally, intravitreally, intravaginally, intrarectally, topically, intratumorally, peritoneally, subcutaneously, subconjunctivally, intravesicularlly, mucosally, intrapericardially, intraumbilically, intraocularly, orally, topically, locally, by inhalation, by injection, by infusion, by continuous infusion, by localized perfusion bathing target cells directly, by catheter, by lavage, by gavage, in cremes, or in lipid compositions. The method of administration can vary depending on various factors (e.g., the components of the composition being administered and the severity of the condition being treated). An “antigen” refers to any agent, generally a macromolecule (e.g., a polypeptide of Table 2), which can elicit an immunological response in an individual. As used herein, “antigen” is generally used to refer to a polypeptide molecule or portion thereof (e.g., at least 12 contiguous amino acids thereof) which contains one or more epitopes. Furthermore, for the purposes of the present disclosure, an “antigen” also includes a polypeptide having modifications, such as deletions, additions, and substitutions (generally conservative in nature) to the native sequence, so long as the polypeptide maintains sufficient immunogenicity. These modifications may be deliberate, for example through site-directed mutagenesis, or may be accidental, such as through mutations of hosts which produce the antigens. As used herein, the term “epitope” generally refers to a site on a target antigen that is recognized by an immune receptor, such as a T-cell receptor and / or an antibody. An epitope may be a contiguous epitope, where the site recognized is a conformation of contiguous amino acid residues of a polypeptide, or a discontiguous epitope, where the site recognized is a portion of a folded polypeptide where the amino acid residues interacting with the immune receptor are not consecutive amino acids. The epitope may also include glycopeptides and carbohydrate epitopes. A single antigenic molecule may include several different epitopes. The term “immunogenic composition” as used herein, is defined as material used to provoke an immune response and may confer immunity after administration of the immunogenic composition (e.g., a vaccine) to a subject (e.g., human subject). An “immune response” against an antigen of interest is the development in a mammalian subject (e.g., a human subject) of a humoral and / or a cellular immune response to that antigen. For purposes of the present disclosure, a “humoral immune response” refers to an immune response mediated by antibody molecules, a “cellular immune response” is one mediated by T-lymphocytes and / or other white blood cells. In addition, “sufficient immunogenicity,” as referred to herein, means a magnitude of an immune response that is sufficient to treat disease (e.g., a Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection), prevent or reduce the chance of an infection (e.g., Mtb infection), to alleviate one or more symptoms of a disease (e.g., Mtb infection, e.g., tuberculosis (TB)), and / or to reduce a period of time during which a subject is suffering from a disease (e.g., Mtb infection, e.g., TB). A mammalian subject to be administered an immunogenic composition (e.g., a vaccine) disclosed herein may be any member of the subphylum cordata, including, without limitation, humans and other primates, including non-human primates, such as chimpanzees and other apes and monkey species; farm animals, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, and horses; domestic mammals, such as dogs and cats; laboratory animals including rodents, such as mice, rats and guinea pigs; birds, including domestic, wild, and game birds, such as chickens, turkeys and other gallinaceous birds, ducks, geese, and the like. The terms do not denote a particular age. Thus, both adult and newborn individuals are intended to be covered. The methods described herein can be intended for use in any of the above vertebrate species, since the immune systems of all of these vertebrates operate similarly. The subject is preferably a human. “Percent (%) sequence identity” with respect to a reference polynucleotide or polypeptide sequence is defined as the percentage of nucleic acids or amino acids in a candidate sequence that are identical to the nucleic acids or amino acids in the reference polynucleotide or polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent nucleic acid or amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the capabilities of one of skill in the art, for example, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, or Megalign software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared. For example, percent sequence identity values may be generated using the sequence comparison computer program BLAST. As an illustration, the percent sequence identity of a given nucleic acid or amino acid sequence, A, to, with, or against a given nucleic acid or amino acid sequence, B, (which can alternatively be phrased as a given nucleic acid or amino acid sequence, A that has a certain percent sequence identity to, with, or against a given nucleic acid or amino acid sequence, B) is calculated as follows: 100 multiplied by (the fraction X / Y) where X is the number of nucleotides or amino acids scored as identical matches by a sequence alignment program (e.g., BLAST) in that program’s alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of nucleic acids in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of nucleic acid or amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of nucleic acid or amino acid sequence B, the percent sequence identity of A to B will not equal the percent sequence identity of B to A. As used herein, the term “polynucleotide” refers to a polymer of nucleosides. Typically, a polynucleotide is composed of nucleosides that are naturally found in DNA or RNA (e.g., adenosine, thymidine, guanosine, cytidine, uridine, deoxyadenosine, deoxythymidine, deoxyguanosine, and deoxycytidine) joined by phosphodiester bonds. The term encompasses molecules comprising nucleosides or nucleoside analogs (e.g., pseudouridine (ψ)) containing chemically or biologically modified bases, modified backbones, etc., whether or not found in naturally occurring nucleic acids, and such molecules may be preferred for certain applications. Where this application refers to a polynucleotide it is understood that both DNA, RNA, and in each case both single- and double- stranded forms (and complements of each single-stranded molecule) are provided. "Polynucleotide sequence" as used herein can refer to the polynucleotide material itself and / or to the sequence information (i.e., the succession of letters used as abbreviations for bases) that biochemically characterizes a specific nucleic acid. A polynucleotide sequence presented herein is presented in a 5' to 3' direction unless otherwise indicated. By “pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, excipient, carrier, or adjuvant” is meant a diluent, excipient, carrier, or adjuvant that is physiologically acceptable to the subject while retaining the therapeutic properties of the immunogenic composition with which it is administered. One exemplary pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is physiological saline. Other physiologically acceptable diluents, excipients, carriers, or adjuvants and their formulations are known to one skilled in the art (see, e.g., U.S. Pub. No.2012 / 0076812). As used herein, the term “polypeptide” means a polymer of amino acid residues linked together by peptide bonds. The term, as used herein, refers to proteins, polypeptides, and peptides of any size, structure, or function. A polypeptide may be a single molecule or may be a multi-molecular complex such as a dimer, trimer or tetramer. The term polypeptide may also apply to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues are an artificial chemical analogue of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid. As used herein, the term “prophylactically or therapeutically effective dose” means a dose in an amount sufficient to elicit an immune response to one or more epitopes of a polypeptide of the disclosure and / or to alleviate, reduce, cure or at least partially arrest symptoms and / or complications from a disease or infection. A “subject” is a vertebrate, such as a mammal (e.g., a primate and a human, in particular a human). Mammals also include, but are not limited to, farm animals (such as cows), sport animals (e.g., horses), pets (such as cats, and dogs), mice, rats, bats, civets, and raccoon dogs. A subject to be treated according to the methods described herein (e.g., a subject in need of protection from an Mtb infection or having an Mtb infection) may be one who has been diagnosed by a medical practitioner as having such a need or infection. Diagnosis may be performed by any suitable means. A subject in whom the development of an infection is being prevented may or may not have received such a diagnosis. One skilled in the art will understand that a subject to be treated according to the present invention may have been subjected to standard tests or may have been identified, without examination, as one with a suspected infection or at high risk of infection due to the presence of one or more risk factors (e.g., exposure to Mtb, for example, due to travel to an area where Mtb infection is prevalent). As used herein, the term “treatment,” in the context of treating subjects with or at risk of developing and / or transmitting disease, means an action taken that can eliminate, reduce, alleviate one or more symptoms or signs of disease; prevent, delay, or reduce a course of disease; prevent or reduce the likelihood of disease transmission; and / or prevent, eliminate, reduce, alleviate, or delay sequelae. Preferably, the action taken includes the compositions or methods described herein either alone or in combination with other known compositions or methods. The term “vaccine” as used herein, is defined as material used to provoke an immune response and that confers immunity for a period of time after administration of the vaccine to a subject. DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present disclosure provides therapeutic and prophylactic compositions, methods, and articles of manufacture for treating and / or preventing infectious disease, such as treating and / or reducing the likelihood of developing an infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB). The compositions and methods described herein utilize an immunogenic composition (e.g., a vaccine) containing one or more polypeptides (e.g., antigens) and / or polynucleotides (e.g., vectors or mRNA molecules encoding an antigen) described herein. The invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery of several antigens that, when administered as a vaccine, provide improved protection from an Mtb infection. These antigens, whether administered as a polypeptide or encoded in a DNA expression vector or an mRNA molecule, are capable of inducing a robust immunological response (e.g., inducing the production of antigen-specific cytokine-secreting CD4+T cells) and provide improved protective efficacy from TB over other commercially available immunogenic compositions, such as the century-old Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine. I. IMMUNOGENIC COMPOSITIONS The present disclosure provides immunogenic compositions containing one or more of the polypeptides (e.g., antigens) and / or nucleic acid molecules (e.g., DNA and / or RNA encoding an antigen, e.g., a DNA vector and / or mRNA molecule encoding an antigen, or a portion thereof) described below. The immunogenic compositions of the disclosure may further include, or may be administered in combination with, one or more live attenuated vaccines (e.g., the BCG vaccine). The immunogenic compositions may be used for inducing an immune response in a subject, thereby providing a subject with a therapeutic or prophylactic effect against a bacterial (e.g., Mtb) infection and diseases caused thereby, such as TB. The present disclosure describes the following 42 antigens: PPE family protein PPE20 (PPE20), ESAT-6 like protein EsxG (EsxG), PE family protein PE18 (PE18), secreted antigen 85-B FbpB (fbpB), PPE family protein PPE51 (PPE51), secreted ESAT-6 like protein EsxR (EsxR), ESX conserved component EccD3 (eccD3), PPE family protein PPE2 (PPE2), PPE family protein PPE3 (PPE3), ESAT-6 like protein EsxS (EsxS), PPE family protein PPE46 (PPE46), PPE family protein PPE30 (PPE30), PPE family protein PPE11 (PPE11), PPE family protein PPE4 (PPE4), major secreted immunogenic protein Mpt70 (Mpt70), PE family protein PE19 (PE19), PPE family protein PPE18 (PPE18), secreted antigen 85-a FbpA (fbpA), low molecular weight protein antigen 7 EsxH (EsxH), and probable serine protease PepA (pepA). Any one or more of these antigens, either as a polypeptide or a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., DNA or mRNA molecule, e.g., a DNA vector) encoding said polypeptide (e.g., see Tables 2-4), may be formulated into a single composition of matter described herein, such as a pharmaceutical composition and / or a vaccine (e.g., a multivalent vaccine a self-amplifying RNA vaccine). Any number and any combination of the 42 antigens may be formulated into a pharmaceutical composition or a vaccine described herein. Exemplary combinations of antigens are provided in Table 1 below. While all possible bivalent, trivalent, quadrivalent, and pentavalent antigen combinations are provided in Table 1 (each box represents a vaccine combination), all other hexavalent, heptavalent, octovalent, enneavalent, decavalent, and 10+ valency vaccines are envisioned.

II. METHODS The present disclosure provides methods of inducing an immune response in a subject, the method including administering any one or more of the immunogenic compositions described herein. The immunogenic compositions described herein are useful, e.g., as a vaccine, for the treatment and / or prophylaxis of a subject (e.g., a human) having or at risk of having an infection (e.g., an Mtb infection) or a disease (e.g., TB). Upon its administration, the immunogenic composition may treat the disease, reduce the symptoms of a disease, reduce the likelihood of any reemergence of the disease from latency, reduce sequela of the disease and / or reduce the transmissibility of the disease. The disease may be an infectious disease (e.g., TB), such as a disease caused by one or more bacteria (e.g., Mycobaterium spp.). Exemplary bacterial species include Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium africanum, Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium canetti, Mycobacterium chelonae, Mycobacterium fortuitum, Mycobacterium gordonae, Mycobacterium hiberniae, Mycobacterium intracellulare, Mycobacterium leprae, Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium marinum, Mycobacterium microti, Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, M. phlei, Mycobacterium pinnipedii, Mycobacterium scrofulaceum, Mycobacterium simiae, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Mycobacterium szulgai, Mycobacterium ulcerans, Mycobacterium vacca, or Mycobacterium xenopi. Exemplary symptoms that can be treated include fever, muscle aches, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, headache, chills, diarrhea, vomiting, rash, weakness, dizziness, bleeding under the skin, in internal organs, or from body orifices like the mouth, eyes, or ears, shock, nervous system malfunction, delirium, seizures, renal (kidney) failure, personality changes, neck stiffness, dehydration, seizures, lethargy, paralysis of the limbs, confusion, back pain, loss of sensation, impaired bladder and bowel function, and sleepiness that can progress into coma or death. These symptoms, and their resolution during treatment, may be measured by, for example, a physician during a physical examination or by other tests and methods known in the art. Immunogenic compositions (e.g., vaccines) of the disclosure can be administered to a subject (e.g., a human), pre- or post-exposure to an infective agent (e.g., Mtb) or pre- or post-diagnosis of a disease (e.g., TB) to treat, prevent, ameliorate, inhibit the progression of, or reduce the severity of one or more symptoms of the disease in the subject. Immunogenic compositions of the disclosure may be administered, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60 minutes, 2, 4, 6, 10, 15, or 24 hours, 2, 3, 5, or 7 days, 2, 4, 6 or 8 weeks, or even 3, 4, or 6 months pre-exposure or pre-diagnosis, or may be administered to the subject 1-30 minutes or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 20, 24, 48, or 72 hours, 3, 5, or 7 days, 2, 4, 6 or 8 weeks, 3, 4, 6, or 9 months, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, or 20 years or longer post-diagnosis or post-exposure to the infective agent (e.g., Mtb). Immunogenic compositions of the disclosure may be administered to the subject either before the occurrence of symptoms or a definitive diagnosis or after diagnosis or symptoms become evident. For example, a composition may be administered, e.g., immediately after diagnosis or the clinical recognition of symptoms or 2, 4, 6, 10, 15, or 24 hours, 2, 3, 5, or 7 days, 2, 4, 6 or 8 weeks, or even 3, 4, or 6 months after diagnosis or detection of symptoms. A skilled person in the field familiar with the protocols, formulations, dosages and clinical practice associated with the administration of an immunogenic composition, such as a vaccine (e.g., MTBVAC or BCG) can readily adapt known administration protocols for use with an immunogenic composition of the present disclosure. The immunogenic compositions described herein can be administered in a manner compatible with the dosage and / or formulation, and in such amount as will be therapeutically effective and immunogenic. The quantity to be administered may depend on the subject to be treated (e.g., the age, body weight, the capacity of the subject’s immune system to mount an immune response, the degree of protection desired, and general health of the subject being treated), the form of administration (e.g., as a solid or liquid), the manner of administration (e.g., by injection, inhalation, dry powder propellant), and the cells targeted (e.g., epithelial cells, such as blood vessel epithelial cells, nasal epithelial cells, or pulmonary epithelial cells). A single dose or a plurality (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or more) of doses of one or more immunogenic compositions described here may be given (pre- or post-exposure and / or pre- or post- diagnosis) to a subject (e.g., one administration or administration two or more times). For example, subjects who are particularly susceptible to a bacterial infection may require a plurality of doses to establish and / or maintain protection against the virus. In some embodiments, the plurality of doses (e.g., two doses, three doses, four doses, five doses, six doses, or more) are administered at least one day, two weeks, 12 weeks, 6 month, 12 months, 18 months, or 24 months apart. In some instances, an immune response triggered by a single administration of a composition of the disclosure may not be sufficiently potent and / or persistent to provide effective protection. Accordingly, the methods of inducing an immune response may include repeated administration of one or more immunogenic compositions of the disclosure; thus, immunogenic compositions of the disclosure may be administered as either a priming component or a boosting component in a prime- boost regimen, or both. This can significantly enhance the subject’s immune response to the immunogenic compositions of the disclosure. For example, the prime-boost regimen may be a homologous prime-boost regimen having a priming step and a boosting step, wherein the priming step and the boosting step includes administration of the immunogenic composition. Alternatively, prime-boost regimen may be a heterologous prime-boost regimen comprising a priming step and a boosting step, wherein the priming step comprises administration of the immunogenic composition and the boosting step comprises administration of a second, different immunogenic composition. The dose of an immunogenic composition or the number of treatments with the immunogenic composition of the disclosure may be increased or decreased based on the severity of, occurrence of, or progression of, the disease in the subject (e.g., based on the severity of one or more symptoms of TB).

The following are examples of the methods of the disclosure. It is understood that various other aspects may be practiced, given the general descriptions provided above. EXAMPLES Example 1. Mining the CD4 T cell antigen repertoire for next-generation tuberculosis vaccine design Introduction In the following example, we leveraged a versatile murine aerosol challenge model and a DNA vaccine platform to perform a large-scale in vivo screen of the human latent tuberculosis (LTB) cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) T cell antigen repertoire. This approach identified several vaccine antigens not previously described in preclinical or clinical vaccine development. We show that these antigens exhibit robust immunogenicity and protection when delivered as individual or multivalent vaccines. Finally, we show that when combined with the live attenuated Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine, these novel vaccines exhibit a co-adjuvant effect with enhanced antigen-specific immunogenicity. Results Development of an in vivo TB CD4 T cell vaccine antigen screening platform In order to undertake a large-scale screen of CD4 T cell antigens in the murine aerosol challenge model, we first selected a vaccine platform and a mouse model. We selected a DNA vaccine platform because it exhibits two key features well suited to tuberculosis (TB) CD4 T cell vaccine antigen screening, namely rapid synthesis and stimulation of a balanced adaptive immune response that includes robust CD4 T cell responses. In addition, we selected the CB6F1 mouse strain, a first filial generation (F1) cross between BALB / c females and C57BL / 6 males that achieves increased major histocompatibility complex class two (MHC II) diversity by incorporating both the H-2 Ib and H-2 Id MHC II alleles. Our screening pipeline incorporated 50 μg of a prime-boost DNA vaccine immunization in female CB6F1 mice via the intramuscular (IM) route followed by 50-100 colony forming unit (CFU) H37Rv aerosol challenge and lung bacterial load quantification four weeks post- infection by agar outgrowth assay (FIG.8A). Large-scale screening of LTB CD4 T cell antigens and selected clinical candidates with DNA vaccines in CB6F1 mice Having established the DNA vaccine-based pipeline, we proceeded with screening of 42 select vaccine candidates (FIG.7A). Overall, we observed a broad distribution of bacterial load reductions that ranged from no protection to a maximum 4.1-fold (0.6 log10) reduction. A severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) receptor binding domain (RBD) served as a negative control and conferred no protection in our screen. Notably, Rv1196 and Rv0129, the two antigens that comprise a current clinical trial vaccine, the M72 / AS01E (M72) vaccine, showed some protection (1.8-fold and 2.0-fold, respectively) but, surprisingly, were not among the most protective antigens in our screen, ranking 16thand 19thby protection, respectively. To focus on antigens demonstrating the greatest protection, we selected a ≥2.5-fold (0.4 log10) reduction in bacterial load threshold. Notably, only two of the eight top vaccine antigens from our screen, Rv1886c and Rv3804 (also known as Ag85B and Ag85A, respectively), are in clinical development. Interestingly, phylogenetic analysis showed broad segregation of the screened CD4 T cell antigen repertoire into clusters with varying degrees of DNA sequence homology (FIG.9A). Indeed, seven of the top eight antigens from our screen clustered into three groups of homologous antigens (FIG.9A). Moreover, the eighth antigen, Rv1788, clustered with Rv1791, an antigen that did not meet the stringent ≥2.5- fold (0.4 log10) threshold but demonstrated a 1.9-fold (0.3 log10) reduction (FIG.7A). We next performed a second, fully independent screen to confirm the reproducibility of the DNA vaccine protection observed our primary screen described above. We again used a 50 μg prime- boost DNA vaccine immunization schedule in female CB6F1 mice via the IM route followed by 50-100 CFU H37Rv aerosol challenge and lung bacterial load quantification four weeks post-infection by agar outgrowth assay. Overall, seven of the eight antigens showed ≥1.8-fold protection in this second, independent DNA vaccine study (FIG.1). Novel antigens identified in our DNA vaccine screen are immunogenic and protective when delivered with the mRNA-LNP platform as single or multivalent vaccines To deliver our antigens in a vaccine platform with both a proven clinical profile and scalability, we initiated studies with mRNA packaged into lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) (mRNA-LNPs). The sequences from our DNA vaccine screen were delivered with 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs), polyadenylated (polyA) tail, and LNP components. Based on our screen results showing robust protection for antigens in phylogenetic groups (FIG.8A), we selected the most protective antigen from each group for delivery (e.g., Rv1387, Rv0287, Rv1886c, and Rv1788). CB6F1 mice received 5 μg of vaccine at weeks 0 and 4, and T cell responses were assessed by intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) among splenocytes after ex vivo stimulation with matched overlapping peptide pools at week 6. We observed that all four antigens stimulated CD4 T cells responses with secretion of IFN-γ (FIG.2), TNF-α (FIG.3A), and IL-2 (FIG.3B). Interestingly, Rv1387 and Rv1886c also stimulated CD8 T cell responses (FIG.3C). Additional mice were aerosol challenged on week 6 with 50-100 CFU of H37Rv, and all four vaccines showed approximately 5-fold (0.7 log10) reductions in bacterial loads (FIG.3D). We next assessed the immunogenicity and protection of our novel antigen mRNA-LNPs as individual vaccines compared to multivalent vaccines. CB6F1 mice received a total mRNA-LNP dose of 20 μg of vaccine at weeks 0 and 4 for all vaccine groups, and T cell responses were assessed by ICS among splenocytes after ex vivo stimulation with matched overlapping peptide pools at week 6. We observed the expected antigen-specific responses for all tested vaccines (FIG.4). An additional cohort of mice was immunized and underwent aerosol challenge on week 6 with 50-100 CFU of H37Rv. Lung bacterial loads were quantified at week 10. We observed incremental increases in protection and a multivalent vaccine consisting of Rv1387, Rv0287, and Rv1788 showed 14-fold protection (FIG.5). Notably, antigens in the M72 vaccine only showed 0.4-0.6 log10 (2.5-4 fold) reductions in bacterial loads in mice when combined with an AS01 adjuvant. mRNA-LNP vaccines both exceed and enhance antigen-specific responses to BCG Finally, we performed immunogenicity studies comparing our multivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine to BCG alone or in combination with BCG. At week 0 CB6F1 mice received BCG at a dose of 1x106CFU administered subcutaneously, 20 μg of mRNA-LNP administered intramuscularly, or a combination. At week four, mice that were primed with mRNA-LNP received a mRNA-LNP boost. Splenocytes were isolated at week 6 for ICS after stimulation with antigen-specific overlapping peptide pools as well as purified protein derivative (PPD). As expected, BCG stimulated low-level CD4 T cell IFN-γ responses to PPD (FIG.6, P = 0.0079, Mann-Whitney U test). Compared to BCG, a tetravalent mRNA-LNP vaccine showed greater antigen-specific responses to three of four antigens, and a combination of BCG with a tetravalent mRNA-LNP vaccine showed greater antigen-specific responses to all antigens (FIG.6). Conclusion In conclusion, we developed a pipeline and performed a large-scale in vivo screen to classify the protective efficacy of the LTB immunodominant CD4 T cell antigen repertoire. We observed a broad range of protection ranging from negligible to significant efficacy in a number of previously uncharacterized vaccine antigens. We further demonstrate the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of these antigens as individual and multivalent mRNA vaccines. Finally, we show that combining BCG with a multivalent mRNA vaccine enhances antigen-specific responses. Materials and Methods DNA and mRNA-LNP vaccines All native vaccine nucleic sequences were obtained from the H37Rv genome on Mycobrowser (e.g., see Kapopoulou et al., Tuberculosis (Edinb) 91:8-13, 2011). For DNA vaccines, native sequences were codon optimized and cloned into plasmid cloning (pcDNA) mammalian expression plasmids (GeneArt, Thermo Fisher). A 5’ Kozak sequence was added and antigens with non-canonical start codons were changed to methionine for mammalian translation. For mRNA-LNP vaccines, the same codon optimized sequences were In-Fusion cloned (Takara Bio) into a pVax1 plasmid (Thermo Fisher) containing 5’ UTR, 3’ UTR, and polyA sequences. N-1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ-5′)-triphosphate (TriLink BioTechnologies) was used to substitute UTP to generate modified nucleoside-containing mRNAs, and capping of in vitro transcribed mRNAs was performed in a one- pot-reaction using CLEANCAP®Reagent AG – 3’ Ome (Trilink BioTechnologies). mRNAs were purified by cellulose purification to obtain dsRNA-free mRNA molecules. To synthesize mRNA-LNP vaccines, mRNAs were encapsulated in LNPs using an aqueous solution of mRNA at acidic pH 4.0 and mixed with a solution of lipids, consisting of an ionizable cationic lipid / phospholipid / cholesterol / PEG-lipid (50:10:38.5:1.5 mol / mol). After mixing, mRNA-LNPs were dialyzed in 2L of 1×PBS overnight and concentrated and stored using cryoprotectants. The diameter (z-average) and polydispersity index (PDI) of the mRNA-LNPs was measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) using a Zetasizer Nano (Malvern Instruments). Quantification of encapsulated mRNAs was performed using QUANT-IT™ RiboGreen RNA Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher). Mycobacterial challenge and vaccine strains H37Rv challenge strain was obtained from the Rubin laboratory (Harvard School of Public Health). BCG vaccine strain was obtained from the Urdahl laboratory (University of Washington). All challenge and vaccine strains were grown in media consisting of Middlebrook 7H9 (BD Difco) containing 10% Middlebrook OADC (BD BBL), 0.5% glycerol (Sigma Aldrich), and 0.05% tween 80 (Sigma Aldrich). For preparation of vaccine stocks, vaccine strains were grown in complete growth medium as above additionally supplemented with 0.05% tyloxapol (Sigma Aldrich). Cells were pelleted twice with resuspension in PBS containing 0.05% tyloxapol and then pelleted a third time with resuspension in PBS containing 0.05% tyloxapol and 15% glycerol. Mouse strains, immunizations, and aerosol challenges 6-8 old female CB6F1 mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratory (strain 100007) and stored in sterile conditions at the Harvard School of Public Health. All mouse procedures were performed in accordance with Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) guidelines. BCG immunizations were performed subcutaneously with 1x106CFU of tittered vaccine strain. DNA and mRNA vaccines were administered intramuscularly in the bilateral quadriceps in 100 μl of PBS. For 100 CFU challenge, a Glas-Col instrument was used and challenge stocks were titrated to result in a day 1 lung bacterial load of approximately 100 CFU. Lung processing and CFU quantification Mice were euthanized 4 weeks following 100 CFU challenge and both lung lobes were dissected en bloc. Tissues were placed into GENTLEMACS™ M Tubes (Miltenyi Biotec, catalog # 130-096-335) containing 5 ml of PBS and mechanically dissociated using a GENTLEMACS™ Dissociator (Miltenyi Biotec). Lysates were then plated in serial log10 dilutions onto 100x15mm Middlebrook 7H10 plates (Hardy Diagnosatics). CFU were counted after a 3 week incubation at 37°C. Splenocyte flow cytometry For immunological studies spleens were mechanically dissociated followed by passage through 100 μm then 30 μm filters in R10 media consisting of RPMI supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Fisher Scientific). Cells were then quantified by trypan blue staining and distributed on 96-well plates at a density of 2x106cells in 100 μl of R10. Splenocytes were then stimulated with antigen-specific peptide pools (21stCentury Biochemicals) and PPD (Cedarlane) at 400 ng of peptide per test or media control for 1 hour followed by GolgiStop / GolgiPlug (BD Biosciences) overlay for 6 hours at 37°C and then rested overnight 4°C. PBMCs were then stained with live / dead and cell surface markers in MACS solution (Miltenyi) supplemented with 2% BSA (Miltenyi) prior to permeabilization with Cytofix / Cytoperm (BD Biosciences) and staining with intracellular markers in Perm / Wash (BD Biosciences). Splenocytes were then fixed in 2% formaldehyde and stored at 4°C until flow cytometry on an LSR II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Cell surface markers included cluster of differentiation (CD) 3 (CD3) (clone 17A2, BD Biosciences), CD19 (clone 6D5, BioLegend), CD4 (clone RM4-5, BioLegend), CD8a (clone 53-6.7, BD Biosciences), CD44 (clone IM7, BD Biosciences), and CD62L (clone MEL-14, BioLegend). Intracellular markers included IFN-γ (clone XMG1.2, BioLegend), IL-2 (clone JES6-5H4, BioLegend), TNF-α (clone MP6-XT22, BioLegend) , IL17-A (clone TC11-18H10.1, BioLegend), and IL-4 (clone 11B11, BD Biosciences). Data were analyzed using FloJo 10.8.1 software. Example 2. Use of an immunogenic composition to treat an infection An infection (e.g., a bacterial infection, such as an infection with Mtb) in a subject (e.g., a human) may not induce an immune response to a level sufficient to clear the infection in a timely manner or at all. For instance, a course of an infection may range from 1 to 72 hours, 3 to 7 days, 1 to 8 weeks, 2 to 12 months, 1 to 10 years or longer, or it may persist for the lifetime of the subject. In this instance, an immunogenic composition described in Section I can be administered to the subject to treat or reduce the term of the infection, as described in Section II. Example 3. Use of an immunogenic composition in a prime-boost immunization Protective immune responses induced by immunogenic compositions often wane to below a protective level over time. As a result, re-administration of an immunogenic composition or administration of a different immunogenic composition is necessary to maintain a protective immune response. An immunogenic composition described in Section I can be administered to a subject which has previously been administered an immunogenic composition containing one or more polypeptides listed in Table 2 (or a variant thereof at least 70% or more (e.g., 80%, 95%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100%) sequence identity thereto), or polynucleotide sequences listed in Tables 2 and / or Table 4 (or a variant thereof at least 70% or more (e.g., 80%, 95%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100%) sequence identity thereto). In this instance, the immunogenic composition is administered as a boost immunization in a prime-boost immunization strategy. The timing of administration of the boost immunization can be a pre-set time (e.g., 1, 2, 3, or more weeks, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or more months, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more years after administration of the prime immunization). For example, a boost immunization of an immunogenic composition described herein may be administered to a subject soon (e.g., 1, 2, or 3 weeks, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 months, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 years) after a prime immunization. Example 4. Mining the CD4 antigen repertoire for next-generation tuberculosis vaccines Introduction In this example, we show the results of an in vivo vaccine efficacy screening pipeline in mice and compared several antigens that represent targets of CD4 T cell responses in humans with latent TB. We found striking heterogeneity in vaccine efficacy among the antigens tested, and most of the identified protective antigens are not currently in clinical vaccine development. We further observed significant immunologic cross-reactivity among groups of phylogenetically clustered antigens, reflecting common CD4 T cell epitopes. Finally, we developed a trivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine consisting of the lead candidates PPE20 (Rv1387), EsxG (Rv0287), and PE18 (Rv1788), resulting in a vaccine strategy that exceeded BCG in multiple murine challenge models. These data advance our understanding of vaccine immunity to TB and identify a next-generation TB vaccine candidate for clinical evaluation (e.g., trivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine that augments BCG protection). Results In vivo antigen screening To develop an in vivo screening pipeline of candidate TB antigens and analyzed their efficacy, we utilized the DNA vaccine platform described in FIG.8A to evaluate emergent pathogens. We screened antigens recognized by CD4 T cells in LTB. We prioritized the 36 CD4 T cell antigens that were detected most frequently among LTB individuals, reasoning that a high rate of recognition during natural infection is an important criterion for vaccine antigen selection. We cloned codon-optimized reference genes for these 36 antigens as well as 6 additional antigens that were already in clinical development (e.g., esxV, PPE42, pepA, Rv1813c, Rv2660c, and esxW) into DNA vaccines. Thus, our screen included 42 TB antigens (Table 5) as well as a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Spike receptor binding domain (RBD) negative control. Table 5.

Gene locus, name, and alias of n=36 genes identified as targets of CD4 T cells responses in human LTB, as well as n=6 additional genes in clinical development vaccine development. We selected the CB6F1 mouse strain, a first filial generation (F1) cross between BALB / c females and C57BL / 6 males that achieves increased major histocompatibility complex (MHC II) diversity. Mice were immunized twice via the intramuscular (IM) route and then received a 100 colony forming unit (CFU) H37Rv by aerosol challenge. Protection was measured as fold reduction in bacterial load relative to sham controls. We observed a spectrum of vaccine efficacy for the DNA vaccines tested, ranging from no protection (1-fold reduction) to a maximum of 4.1-fold reduction (0.61 log10, FIG.7A and Table 6). DNA vaccines expressing SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD did not reduce bacterial loads. To focus subsequent studies on the most protective antigens, we prioritized the 8 antigens that demonstrated ≥2.5-fold (0.40 log10) protection: Rv1387, Rv1886c, Rv0287, Rv3804c, Rv0280, Rv3020c, Rv1788, and Rv0256c. With the exception of Rv1886c and Rv3804c (also called Ag85B and Ag85A, respectively), none of these protective antigens have previously been in clinical vaccine development. Moreover, these protective antigens were more protective than those currently in clinical trials in this model (P=0.0024, Mann-Whitney U test, FIG.7B). Table 6. Protective Efficacy of Individual Antigens Included in the DNA Vaccine Protection Screen in Mice Fold reduction in lung bacterial loads relative to naïve mice for n=42 Mtb genes following two DNA vaccine immunizations followed by 100 CFU H37Rv aerosol challenge and lung bacterial load quantification. We assessed the reproducibility of our initial screen data with a second focused DNA vaccine study that confirmed protection for the 8 lead antigens (Rv1387, Rv1886c, Rv0287, Rv3804c, Rv0280, Rv3020c, Rv1788, and Rv0256c; range 0.28 to 0.67 log10 reduction in lung CFU; FIG.8B). To characterize the T cell responses among vaccinated mice, we performed splenocyte intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) assays after ex vivo stimulation with overlapping peptide pools. We observed that all 8 antigens yielded robust CD4 Th1 responses with secretion of interferon gamma (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin 2 (IL-2; FIG.7C and FIG.8C). In addition, we observed CD8 responses with Rv1387, Rv1886c, Rv3804c, Rv0280, and Rv0256c, but not Rv0287, Rv3020c, or Rv1788 in these mice (FIG.7D). Boolean analysis further demonstrated that the CD4 responses were primarily polyfunctional with secretion of ≥2 cytokines (FIG.7E). We also observed robust T cell responses among five selected non-protective antigens (showing ≤1.5-fold protection; Table 6 and FIG.7F), suggesting that protection vs. lack of protection was due to antigen biology rather than antigen presentation and immunogenicity. Phylogenetic and epitope analyses of protective antigens To further investigate the characteristics of the protective antigens from our screen, we performed phylogenetic analysie as well as structural and functional annotation. The 8 protective antigens (e.g., Rv1387, Rv1886c, Rv0287, Rv3804c, Rv0280, Rv3020c, Rv1788, and Rv0256c) segregated into four phylogenetic clusters with distinct structural and functional properties (FIG.9A and Table 7). Rv1387, Rv0280, and Rv0256c formed a cluster of structurally related proline-proline- glutamic acid (PPE) family proteins implicated in various aspects of immune evasion and nutrient stress adaptation. Rv0287 and Rv3020c formed a cluster belonging to a family of type VII secretion (Esx) proteins that are critical virulence factors in mycobacteria. Rv1788 belongs to the structurally related proline-glutamic acid (PE) family proteins that share overlapping functions with the PPE family. Rv1788 also clustered with Rv1791, another PE family protein that demonstrated 1.9-fold (0.28 log10) protection in our screen, slightly below the stringent ≥2.5-fold (0.40 log10) cut-off (FIG.7A and Table 6). Finally, Rv1886c and Rv3804c formed a cluster of related Ag85 family proteins, a group of mycolyl transferases with essential roles in Mtb cell wall homeostasis and intracellular survival. Table 7. Structural and Functional Annotation of Protective Antigens from the DNA Vaccine Protection Screen in Mice
[0022] Gene locus, name, and alias as well as protein product, amino acid length, and function if known for n=8 protective antigens from the DNA vaccine protection screen in mice. We hypothesized that the protective efficacy of TB vaccine antigens within each phylogenetic cluster is associated with conserved CD4 T cell epitopes. We immunized mice using DNA vaccines with individual protective antigens and assessed whether the resulting CD4 T cell responses could be stimulated by heterologous peptide pools from other antigens within each phylogenetic cluster. For the PPE antigens, vaccination with Rv1387 stimulated the greatest response to the autologous Rv1387 peptide pool, but we also observed cross-reactive responses to the Rv0280 and Rv0256c pools (FIG.9B). Similarly, vaccination with Rv0280 yielded cross-reactive responses to Rv0256c, and vaccination with Rv0256c yielded cross-reactive responses to Rv0280 (FIG.9B). In contrast, similar experiments with the Rv0287-Rv3020c and Rv1788-Rv1791 clusters showed that stimulation with either the homologous or cross-reactive peptide pools yielded responses that were nearly indistinguishable (FIG.9C and FIG.9D, respectively). Finally, the Rv1886c-Rv3804c cluster demonstrated cross-reactive responses (FIG.9E). These studies demonstrated substantial cross- reactivity of CD4 T cell responses within each antigen phylogenetic cluster. We next performed epitope mapping to further characterize the CD4 T cell responses. Given the larger size of the PPE family antigens (536-556 amino acids), we immunized mice using DNA vaccines and stimulated splenocytes ex vivo with subpools of 10 overlapping peptides (Tables 8A-D). We observed a multitude of responses ranging between 4 and 8 subpools (FIGS.10A-C). We selected two subpools that demonstrated both immunodominance and shared responses among the three antigens for deconvolution, and we observed overlapping regions of CD4 T cell recognition among both subpools (FIG.9 and FIGS.10D-I). Table 8A. Rv1387-Rv0280-Rv0256 Cluster – Amino Acid Sequences for Peptides and Peptide Pools Used in T cell Epitope Mapping Studies
[0023] Given the small size of the Esx and PE family antigens (97-100 amino acids), we performed single-round mapping experiments (FIGS.10J-K and FIGS.10L-M, respectively; Table 8B and Table 8C, respectively). For both antigen families, we observed two regions of overlapping CD4 reactivity (FIG.9G and FIG.9H). Table 8B.

Rv1788-Rv1791 Cluster – Amino Acid Sequences for Peptides and Peptide Pools Used in T cell Epitope Mapping Studies Finally, for the intermediate sized (325-338 amino acids) Ag85 protein family, we performed subpool analysis and observed responses in 6 to 7 subpools (FIG.10N and FIG.10O; Table 8C). We again selected two subpools that demonstrated immunodominance and shared responses among the two antigens for deconvolution, and we similarly observed overlapping regions of CD4 T cell recognition among both subpools (FIG.9I, FIG.10P, and FIG.10Q). These data demonstrate significant immunologic cross-reactivity of protective antigens in each phylogenetic cluster associated with overlapping CD4 T cell recognition. Table 8C.

[0024] Multivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine We next evaluated the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of our top protective antigens delivered as mRNA-LNP vaccines. Given the observed cross-reactivity in CD4 epitopes (FIGS.9B-E), we selected the most protective antigen from each cluster (i.e. Rv1387, Rv0287, Rv1788, and Rv1886c) for these studies. The ORFs were cloned into constructs containing a 5’ cap, 5’ untranslated region (UTR), 3’ UTR, and polyadenylation (polyA) signal, subjected to in vitro transcription (IVT) using N1-methylpseudouridine, and encapsulated in four-component LNPs. Following immunization with mRNA-LNPs expressing single antigens and ex vivo splenocyte stimulation with overlapping peptide pools, we observed robust secretion of the Th1 cytokines IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-2 (FIG.11A and FIG.12A) and a substantial subset with secretion of ≥2 cytokines (FIG.12B and FIG.12C). Similar to our DNA vaccine studies, we observed CD8 T cell responses with Rv1387 and Rv1886c but not with Rv0287 or Rv1788 in these mice (FIG.11C). An increased ratio of non-IFN-γ+to IFN-γ+Th1 responses has previously been associated with increased protection in studies of both natural infection and vaccine protection. Boolean analysis showed that the ratio of non-IFN-γ+to IFN-γ+Th1 responses was higher for Rv1387, Rv1788, and Rv1886c when delivered as mRNA-LNP compared with to DNA (FIG.11D). This was primarily attributable to substantially higher IL-2+cells with the mRNA-LNP vaccines (FIG.11E) and to a lesser extent TNF-α+and TNF-α+IL-2+subsets (FIG.11B and FIG.11C). These phenotypic differences were associated with reductions in lung bacterial loads in the 100 CFU aerosol challenge model with mRNA-LNP vaccines expressing the single antigens Rv1387, Rv0287, Rv1788, and Rv1886c in two independent experiments (range 0.62 to 0.86 log10 reduction in lung CFU, FIG.11F and FIG.12D). Rv0280, Rv0256c, Rv3020c, and Rv3804c were also protective as monovalent mRNA-LNP vaccines (range 0.54 to 0.73 log10 reduction in lung CFU, FIG.12E). Overall, the 0.54-0.86 log10 reductions in lung CFU with mRNA-LNP vaccines were greater than the corresponding 0.26-0.67 log10 reductions with DNA (FIG.11G). To assess the protective efficacy of a multivalent cocktail of mRNA-LNP vaccines, we combined monovalent mRNA-LNP vaccines while maintaining a fixed total mRNA dose. Iterative multiplexing caused no significant reductions in CD4 (FIG.12F) or CD8 (FIG.12G) T cell responses, and both trivalent (Rv1387, Rv0287, and Rv1788) and tetravalent (Rv1387, Rv0287, Rv1788, and Rv1886c) vaccines showed robust Th1 responses to all component antigens (FIG.11H). Complementary studies in the 100 CFU aerosol challenge model showed incremental increases in vaccine protection (FIG.12H) including 0.91-1.00 log10 reductions in lung bacterial loads with the trivalent and tetravalent mRNA-LNPs (P<0.0001 for both vaccines compared with sham; p-value was not significant for trivalent vaccine compared to tetravalent vaccine; FIG.11I). These data show that the protective antigens from our DNA vaccine screen demonstrated enhanced immunogenicity and protection as monovalent mRNA-LNP vaccines and that protection was increased with a multivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine combinations. Trivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine augments BCG immunity Early childhood BCG vaccination is widespread in endemic regions, and therefore next- generation TB subunit vaccines will be administered with BCG. To explore whether our mRNA-LNP vaccines augment BCG immunity, we performed experiments in which mice received BCG with or without the trivalent mRNA-LNP. We first performed immunogenicity studies to characterize the effect of trivalent mRNA-LNP co-administration with BCG (FIG.14A). BCG alone stimulated CD4 T cell IFN- γ responses in spleen (FIG.13A) and lung (FIG.13B) to Rv0287 and Rv1788 but not Rv1387, suggesting that Rv0287 and Rv1788 are immunodominant BCG antigens. In contrast, co- administration of BCG with the trivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine significantly augmented the CD4 T cell IFN-γ response to all three vaccine antigens in both spleen (FIG.13A) and lung (FIG.13B). There was no effect on the immunodominant BCG antigen Rv0288 (also called TB10.4; FIG.14B), suggesting increased responses in the combination group are antigen-specific. We did not observe antigen-specific CD8 T cells responses in the BCG group (FIG.14C and FIG.14D), although as expected mice receiving the trivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine showed robust CD8 T cells responses to Rv1387 (FIG.14D). Importantly, the increased antigen-specific CD4 T cell responses in the combination group were associated with a significantly greater reduction in lung bacterial load compared to BCG after 100 CFU H37Rv aerosol challenge (1.86 vs 1.32 log10 reduction compared with controls; P=0.0002, FIG.13C and FIG.14E). Mtb transmission in humans likely occurs with low bacterial doses. We have shown that low- dose (1-3 CFU) infection in mice may better recapitulate these transmission dynamics and yield additional measures of vaccine protection including prevention of detectable infection and bilateral lung dissemination, in addition to conventional lung bacterial load measurements. We next performed low-dose challenge studies with BCG with or without the trivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine as well as pre- challenge peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) ICS for correlates of protection analyses (FIG. 14F). For the pre-challenge immunogenicity study, we performed ex vivo stimulation with a combined Rv1387, Rv0287, and Rv1788 overlapping peptide pool given cell limitations in mouse PBMC. The combination group exhibited greater antigen-specific CD4 T cell responses relative to BCG alone (FIG.14G), and CD8 T cell responses were only observed in groups receiving the trivalent mRNA- LNP vaccine (FIG.14H). Interestingly, we observed low but detectable Th17 responses in PBMC (FIG.14I), which had not been apparent in the spleens or lungs of mice receiving the same vaccines (FIGS.14J-M). In the low-dose challenge study, naïve animals showed an infection rate of 18 / 30 (60%), a bilateral lung dissemination rate of 10 / 18 (56%), and a median infected lung bacterial load of 126,250 CFU (FIG.13D and FIGS.13G-I). BCG modestly reduced the infection rate to 8 / 20 (40%) and the bilateral dissemination rate to 1 / 8 (13%), respectively (FIG.13E, FIG.13G, and FIG.13H). In contrast, the addition of the mRNA-LNP vaccine yielded an increased reduction in the infection rate to 5 / 19 (26%, P=0.039, Fisher’s exact test, FIG.13F and FIG.13G) as well as a 100% reduction in the rate of bilateral dissemination to 0 / 5 (0%, P=0.046, Fisher’s exact test, FIG.13F and FIG.13H). Both vaccine groups significantly reduced lung bacterial loads (P<0.0001, negative binomial model, FIG.13I). Moreover, multiple post-vaccination PBMC CD4 subsets correlated with aggregate bacterial loads among post-challenge infected animals (FIG.15). The strongest correlations were observed with aggregate IFN-γ (Spearman ρ=-0.57, P=0.0006) and TNF-α (ρ=-0.56, P=0.0008) CD4 T cell responses, followed by IFN-γ+TNF-α+IL-2+triple-positive and IFN-γ+TNF-α+double-positive CD4 T cell subsets, among others. Moreover, in a repeated low-dose challenge model, BCG provided a 11 / 20 (55%) infection rate, whereas the mRNA-LNP vaccine alone provided an 8 / 20 (40%) infection rate (FIGS.13J-M and FIG.14I). Taken together, these data show that the trivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine augmented vaccine protection compared with BCG in both high and low dose challenge models, and protection correlated with antigen-specific CD4 T cell responses. Conclusion Rational antigen selection is an enduring challenge in TB vaccine development. We developed a screening pipeline in mice to define the protective efficacy of candidate antigens recognized by CD4 T cell responses, identified several protective antigens, and developed a trivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine that showed efficacy in mouse challenge models. Our findings provide insight into TB vaccine immunity and identify a next-generation TB vaccine candidate. We observed significant differences in vaccine protection among the screened antigens (FIG. 7A). Moreover, we observed substantial phylogenetic clustering and immunologic cross-reactivity among antigens that were associated with shared CD4 epitopes (FIG.9). Systematic antigen selection, rather than a strategy relying on empirically selected antigens, may therefore be important for the design of next-generation TB vaccines. We developed a trivalent vaccine consisting of highly most protective antigen from our screen that represented different phylogenetic clusters: Rv1387 (i.e., PPE20), as well as Rv0287 (i.e., EsxG), and Rv1788 (i.e., PE18). We show that mRNA-LNP vaccines stimulate strong polyfunctional Th1 responses to TB antigens. Moreover, multivalent vaccines yielded robust log10-scale reductions in bacterial loads in the conventional murine aerosol challenge model. Finally, our data provide proof-of-concept that a trivalent mRNA-LNP vaccine with BCG increases antigen-specific responses and protection relative to BCG alone, including increased prevention of infection and dissemination in the low-dose challenge model. Materials and Methods Mouse strains and immunizations Eight week-old female CB6F1 / J mice (strain #100007) and C3HeB / FeJ (strain #000658) were obtained from Jackson Laboratory and housed in pathogen-free conditions at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the Harvard School of Public Health. All mouse procedures were performed in accordance with Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) guidance. DNA vaccine immunizations were performed by diluting 50 μg vaccine in 100 μL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) followed by IM injection of 50 μL of vaccine into each of the bilateral quadriceps. Monovalent mRNA-LNP immunizations were performed by diluting 5 μg of vaccine by mRNA into 100 μL of PBS followed by IM injection of 50 μL into each of the bilateral quadriceps. For mRNA-LNP iterative multiplexing studies, up to four monovalent mRNA-LNP vaccines were mixed with a uniform aggregate dose of 20 μg. The trivalent vaccine used in BCG combination strategies contained a combination of 5 μg of each monovalent vaccine for an aggregate vaccine dose of 15 μg. For BCG immunizations an aggregate 1x106CFU of tittered vaccine strain was diluted into 200 μL of PBS followed by subcutaneous (SC) injection of 100 μL into each of the bilateral lower flanks. Challenge and vaccine strains H37Rv challenge strain was a gift from the Rubin laboratory (Harvard School of Public Health). BCG vaccine strain was a gift from the Urdahl laboratory (University of Washington). Both challenge and vaccine strains were grown in media consisting of Middlebrook 7H9 (BD Difco) containing 10% Middlebrook OADC (BD BBL), 0.5% glycerol (Sigma Aldrich), and 0.05% tween 80 (Sigma Aldrich). For preparation of conventional H37Rv challenge stock, H37Rv was propagated in growth media to an optical density (OD) of 0.8-1.0, frozen in growth media, and tittered. For low dose challenge studies, H37Rv culture was grown to an OD of 0.8-1.0 followed by passaging through a 5 μm filter to generate a single-cell suspension, resulting in an approximately 2-log10 reduction in titer as measured by agar outgrowth assay. For preparation of BCG vaccine stock, vaccine strain was grown in complete growth medium as above additionally supplemented with 0.05% tyloxapol (Sigma Aldrich). Cells were pelleted twice with resuspension in PBS containing 0.05% tyloxapol and then pelleted a third time with resuspension in PBS containing 0.05% tyloxapol and 15% glycerol. Cells were then passaged though a 40 μm filter followed by a 20 μm filter for clump removal, followed by storage at −80°C and titering by agar outgrowth assay. Mtb aerosol challenge For 100 CFU H37Rv challenge, a Glas-Col instrument was used and challenge stocks were titrated to result in a day 1 lung bacterial load of approximately 100 CFU. For low-dose challenge, the same instrument was used and singe-cell suspension challenge stocks were titrated to result in a week 4 infection rate of approximately 63% in accordance with the Poisson distribution. For repeated low-dose challenge, the same instrument and singe-cell suspension challenge stocks were used at four one-week intervals. CB6F1 / J mice were used for all single-challenge studies and C3HeB / FeJ were used for the repeated challenge study. Lung bacterial load quantifications Mice were euthanized 4 weeks following both 100 CFU challenge or low-dose challenge. For 100 CFU challenge, both lung lobes were dissected en bloc whereas for low dose challenge right and left lung lobes were dissected separately. Tissues were placed into GENTLEMACSTMM Tubes (Miltenyi) containing 5 mL of PBS and mechanically dissociated using a GENTLEMACSTMDissociator (Miltenyi) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Lysates were then plated in serial log10 dilutions on 100 mm Middlebrook 7H10 plates (Hardy Diagnostics). In order to achieve an LOD of 5 CFU in low dose challenge studies, we additionally plated 1 mL of lysate onto 150 mm plates containing Middlebrook 7H10 agar (BD Difco), 10% Middlebrook OADC (BD BBL), 0.5% glycerol (Sigma Aldrich), and cycloheximide (Sigma Aldrich) at 100 mg / mL. CFU were counted after a 3 week incubation at 37ºC. DNA vaccine library and screening Antigens demonstrating >20% CD4 T cell responses in a clinical dataset of LTB were selected for screening. Among the 39 candidate antigens, Rv1047, Rv3023c, and Rv3115 showed identical primary sequences. Similarly, Rv1199c and Rv2512c showed identical primary sequences. Therefore, these 5 genes were consolidated into 2 sequences (Table 5), resulting in 36 distinct candidate antigen sequences. We further identified 6 other antigens (Rv3619c, Rv2608, Rv0125, Rv1813c, Rv2660c, and Rv3620c) which were in clinical development at the time the screen was performed in 2022. Finally, a SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD sequence was obtained as a negative control, resulting in a total of 43 screened antigens. H37Rv reference sequences were obtained from Mycobrowser, codon-optimized for expression in Homo sapiens, and cloned into pcDNA3.1(+) expression plasmids (GENEARTTM, Thermo Fisher Scientific). A subset of ORFs with a valine (V) start codon were replaced with methionine (M) for mammalian expression, and no other modifications were made to the reference primary sequence. To facilitate screening of large numbers of antigens while accounting for potential variations between individual aerosol experiments, the screen was performed in groups of 20 mice distributed equally into subgroups of 4-5 animals including a naïve group in every individual aerosol challenge. To calculate fold reduction in lung CFU for each vaccinated mouse, the lung bacterial load was divided by the median bacterial load of the naïve subgroup within each individual aerosol challenge. mRNA-LNP design and fabrication We created a custom mRNA expression vector with non-coding backbone elements that included the regions from the T7 promoter compatible with CleanCap®AG-3’OMe (TriLink BioTechnologies) to the 5′ and 3′ UTR plus a 110-nucleotide polyA tail interrupted by a linker (A30LA70, 10 nucleotides). mRNA constructs were cloned for Rv1387, Rv0280, Rv0256c, Rv0287, Rv3020c, Rv1788, Rv1791, Rv1886c, and Rv3804c using the same codon-optimized sequences from our DNA vaccine studies. The DNA was linearized, purified, and in-vitro transcribed to make mRNAs. N-1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ-5′)-triphosphate (TriLink®BioTechnologies) was used to substitute UTP to generate modified nucleoside-containing mRNAs, and capping of in vitro transcribed mRNAs was performed in a one-pot-reaction using CleanCap®Reagent AG - 3' OMe (Trilink®BioTechnologies). mRNAs were purified by cellulose purification to obtain dsRNA-free mRNA molecules. To synthesize mRNA-LNP vaccines, mRNAs were encapsulated in LNPs using an aqueous solution of mRNA at acidic pH 4.0 mixed with an ethanolic lipid solution at a ratio of 3:1 (aqueous:ethanol) using a NanoAssemblr Ignite+(Cytiva Lifesciences) at a flow rate of 12 mL / min. The lipid solution consisted of ALC-0315 (Avanti), 18:1 (Δ9-Cis) PE (DOPE, Avanti), cholesterol (Avanti), and 14:0 PEG2000 PE (Avanti) at a ratio of 50:10:38.5:1.5 mol. After microfluidic mixing, mRNA-LNPs were dialyzed against PBS overnight, concentrated using Amicon®ultracentrifugal filters (EMD Millipore), reconstituted using 10% sucrose, and stored at -80°C until further use. All formulations underwent quality control for particle size by dynamic light scattering (DLS) using a Zetasizer Nano (Malvern Instruments). The diameter (z-average) and polydispersity index (PDI) of the mRNA-LNPs was measured, with sizes ranging from 70-100 nm. Quantification of encapsulated mRNAs was performed using QUANT-IT™ RIBOGREENTMRNA Assay Kit (ThermoFisher), and all mRNA-LNPs were confirmed to have >95% encapsulation. Spleen, lung, and PBMC harvesting for immunogenicity studies CB6F1 mice were used for all immunogenicity studies. For spleen harvest, mice were euthanized and spleens were transferred into R10 medium containing RPMI supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Fisher Scientific). Tissues were mechanically dissociated through a 100 μm filter and red blood cells were lysed with ACK Lysing Buffer (Gibco). Splenocytes were then filtered out through a 30 μm filter, pelleted, and resuspended in R10. For lung harvest, mice were euthanized and lungs were thoroughly perfused with 10 mL ice cold PBS via the right ventricle. Lungs were transferred into Gentle MACS C tubes (Miltenyi) containing 4 mL of R10. This was supplemented with 5X digestion buffer consisting of R10 supplemented with 5 mg of type I collagenase (Worthington Biochemicals) and 0.5 mg of DNAse I (Sigma). Lung tissue was then mechanically dissociated using a GentlleMACS instrument according to manufacturer instructions (Miltenyi) following by passaging through a 70 μm filter. The solution then underwent red blood cells lysis with ACK Lysing Buffer (Gibco) and lung cells were then filtered out through a 30 μm filter. For PBMC harvesting, mice were bled via the submandibular route into RPMI (Gibco) containing 5% EDTA (Invitrogen) in accordance with IACUC protocols. The buffy layer containing PBMCs was isolated via Ficoll (GE Healthcare) centrifugation and transferred into R10. Following lymphocyte isolation, viable cell counts were quantified by trypan blue exclusion using a Countess 3 instrument (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Flow cytometry Lymphocytes were stimulated with peptide of interest (21st Century Bio) or purified protein derivative (PPD; Cedarlane) at 400 ng of peptide per test or DMSO control for 1 hour followed by GOLGISTOPSTOPTM / GOLGIPLUGTM(BD Biosciences) overlay for 6 hours at 37°C. Lymphocytes were then stained with live / dead (Aqua) and cell surface markers in MACS solution (Miltenyi) supplemented with 2% BSA (Miltenyi) and 1.5% penicillin-streptomycin (Fisher Scientific) prior to permeabilization with CYTOFIX / PERMTM(BD Biosciences) and staining with intracellular markers in PERM / WASHTM(BD Biosciences). Cells were then fixed in 2% formaldehyde and stored at 4°C until flow cytometry on an LSR II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). PMBC and splenocyte cell surface markers included CD3 (clone 17A2, BD Biosciences), CD19 (clone 6D5, BioLegend), CD4 (clone RM4-5, BioLegend), CD8a (clone 53-6.7, BD Biosciences), CD44 (clone IM7, BD Biosciences), and CD62L (clone MEL-14, BioLegend). PMBC and splenocyte intracellular markers included IFN-γ (cloneXMG1.2, BioLegend), TNF-α (clone MP6-XT22, BioLegend), IL-2 (clone JES6-5H4, BioLegend), IL17-A (clone TC11-18H10.1, BioLegend), and IL-4 (clone 11B11, BD Biosciences). Lung cell surface markers included CD3 (clone 17A2, BD Biosciences), CD4 (clone GK1.5, BD Biosciences), CD8a (clone 53-6.7, BD Biosciences), CD44 (clone IM7 BD, Biosciences), CD62L (clone MEL-14, BioLegend), TCRg / d (clone GL3, BioLegend), CD45 (clone 30-F11, BioLegend), CD103 (clone 2E.7, BioLegend), PD-1 (clone 29F.1A12, BioLegend), CD11b (clone M1 / 70, BioLegend), and NK-1.1 (clone PK136, BD Biosciences). Lung intracellular markers included IFN-γ (clone XMG1.2, BioLegend), TNF-α (clone MP6-XT22, BioLegend), IL-2 (clone JES6-5H4, BioLegend), IL-17A (clone TC11-18H10.1, BioLegend), IL-4 (clone 11B11, BD Biosciences), and CD69 (clone H1.2P3, BD Biosciences). Data and statistical analyses Flow cytometry data were analyzed using FLOJOTM10.10.0 software. Statistical comparisons between groups for immunogenicity and 100 CFU challenge studies were performed using GraphPad Prism 9.4.0 software. Between-group differences in bacterial loads for low-dose challenge studies were analyzed using mixed effects negative binomial regression models while controlling for lobe side (right vs. left). Heatmaps were generated using the R package pheatmap. The correlation of CD4 T cell phenotypes with lung CFU was performed using the R package corrplot and Spearman’s method.
