Provided herein are recombinant microorganisms that express a subject polypeptide. Microorganisms can comprise an expression construct comprising a flagellin promoter operatively linked with a heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding the subject polypeptide. The flagellin promoter sequence can comprise a genetic modification that reduces CsrA inhibition of translation. Microorganisms also can comprise a genetic modification that reduces FlgM inhibition of SigD initiation of transcription. The target polypeptide can be an aldehyde dehydrogenase. Such microorganisms are useful in the treatment of alcohol hangover.

Provided herein is a peptide array comprising a plurality of flagellin peptides corresponding to highly conserved peptide regions. For example, the peptide array comprises a plurality of Lachnospiraceae flagellin peptides, which can be selected from a hinge region of Lachnospiraceae flagellin. Also provided is antibody of fragment thereof that binds to one or more of the plurality of the flagellin peptides in the peptide array. The peptide array and antibody are useful in determining an immunosignature from a biological sample from a subject. The immunosignature is useful in diagnosis of an immune-mediated disease, in monitoring progression of an immune-mediated disease, in identifying subjects susceptible to certain treatments, and in monitoring treatment response.

The present invention relates to a FLT3L–flagellin hybrid adjuvant with enhanced antigen cross-presentation efficacy and a vaccine composition comprising same. The hybrid adjuvant of the present invention demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy as an adjuvant for a therapeutic cancer vaccine in a preclinical mouse model of cervical cancer, resulting in complete tumor regression and sustained protection. In addition, the hybrid adjuvant of the present invention induced tumor-specific antigen CD8+ T cell responses and progenitor-exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tpex) due to an increase in cross-presentation by conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) in tumor-draining lymph nodes and the tumor microenvironment, and the combination of TCV having the hybrid adjuvant applied thereto and anti-PD-1 therapy significantly improves survival outcomes in anti-PD-1–resistant tumors, and thus can be advantageously applied in anticancer immunotherapy using therapeutic cancer vaccines.

This invention discloses a sodium caseinate-based Pickering emulsion, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of vaccine adjuvant technology. This invention is the first to propose using Salmonella Typhimurium flagellin and sodium caseinate as raw materials to formulate a Pickering emulsion. The prepared Pickering emulsion has the characteristics of small particle size, good biocompatibility, and high stability, and can induce a high immune response in the body. This invention is also the first to propose the application of the Pickering emulsion formulated using Salmonella Typhimurium flagellin and sodium caseinate as raw materials as a vaccine adjuvant. The Pickering emulsion prepared by this invention has a simple preparation process, requiring only mixing and homogenization, and can effectively load the model antigen OVA. This emulsion has good cellular safety and can promote the endocytosis of exogenous antigens by macrophages. The emulsion can induce the body to produce high levels of antibody titers, with antibody titers reaching more than 120,000 times.

The application provides a kind of chimeric flagellin and its application.The chimeric flagellin is formed by the chimeric of A type Seneca virus VP2 fragment and Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 flagellin FliC through Linker (GGGGS) 3, which realizes the soluble expression of chimeric flagellin in Escherichia coli system, and the yield can reach 200 mg / L at most. And through the detection of in vitro Caco2 and Raw264.7 cell models, the recombinant chimeric flagellin shows good TLR5 receptor activity, which can effectively activate TLR5 signal pathway.

This invention relates to the field of biological protein application technology, and discloses the application of flagellin hypervariable region H as an intramolecular adjuvant in vaccine preparation. The amino acid sequence of flagellin hypervariable region H is shown in SEQ ID NO.3, and the nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding flagellin hypervariable region H is shown in SEQ ID NO.4. This invention also discloses an expression cassette, recombinant vector, recombinant cells, or recombinant bacteria containing the gene encoding flagellin hypervariable region H. This invention uses the aforementioned flagellin hypervariable region H as an intramolecular adjuvant in vaccine preparation. This invention connects flagellin hypervariable region H to an antigenic epitope to obtain a fusion protein. Compared with existing technologies, the solubility and activity of the fusion protein are improved. Simultaneously, this invention overcomes the expression form of inclusion bodies in existing E. coli expression systems, eliminating the need for subsequent refolding and assembly, thus simplifying the vaccine preparation process.

The present invention relates to a ferritin nanocage-integrated vaccine comprising a flagellin immunoadjuvant, and a preparation method therefor. The present invention enables multivalent presentation of an antigen and a flagellin immunoadjuvant on the surface of a ferritin nanocage using a SpyTag–SpyCatcher system, thereby increasing efficiency of vaccine formulations, enhancing B cell maturation and memory formation, elevating T cell activation, and providing improved protective efficacy.
