In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a mutated
Salmonella strain comprising mutations in
flagellin II genes, like the fliF
gene, in particular, in addition the
aroA gene, the IpxR
gene, the pagP gene, the pagL gene, the ydiV gene and optionally the eptA gene and further optionally, the arnT gene. In a further aspect, immunogenic compositions comprising said
Salmonella strain are provided optionally together with a pharmaceutically accepted carrier,
diluent or
effluent. Moreover, a method for producing outer membrane vesicles of
Salmonella is provided, said method comprises the steps of cultivating the Salmonella strain according to the present invention and isolating the outer membrane vesicles accordingly. The present invention provides the
bacteria or the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) obtainable by the methods according to the present invention and its use as a transport
moiety or as an immunogenic composition, like a vaccine or
immunotherapy platform espedaily for
therapeutic treatment of
cancer of tissue or blood.
