Construction of live attenuated Shigella vaccine strains that express CFA/I antigens (cfaB and CfaE) and the B subunit of heat-labile enterotoxin (LTB) from enterotoxigenic E.coli

With the goal of creating a combination vaccine against Shigella and other diarrheal pathogens we have constructed a prototype vaccine strain of Shigella flexneri 2a (SC608) that can serve as a vector for the expression and delivery of heterologous antigens to the mucosal immune system. SC608 is an asd derivative of SC602, a well-characterized vaccine strain, which has recently undergone several phase 1 and 2 trials for safety and immunogenicity. Using non-antibiotic asd-based plasmids, we have created novel constructs for the expression of antigens from enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), including CFA / I (CfaB and CfaE) and the B-subunit from heat-labile enterotoxin (LTB) in Shigella vaccine strain SC608. Heterologous protein expression levels and cellular localization are critical to immune recognition and have been verified by immunoblot analysis. Following intranasal immunization (SC608(CFAI) and SC608(CFAI / LTB) of guinea pigs, serum IgG and IgA immune responses to both the Shigella LPS and ETEC antigens can be detected by ELISA. In addition, ELISPOT analysis for ASCs from cervical lymph nodes and spleen showed similar responses. All vaccine strains conferred high levels of protection against challenge with wild-type S. flexneri 2a using the Sereny test. Furthermore, serum from guinea pigs immunized with SC608 expressing CfaB and LTB contained antibodies capable of neutralizing the cytological affects of heat-labile toxin (HLT) on Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. These initial experiments demonstrate the validity of a multivalent invasive Shigella strain that can serve as a vector for the delivery of pathogen-derived antigens.

Vaccines containing attenuated bacteria

The invention relates to a vaccine comprising a bacterium attenuated by a non-reverting mutation in a gene encoding a protein which promotes folding of extracytoplasmic proteins. Such mutations were initially identified as being useful in vaccines from a bank of randomly inserted, transposon mutants in which attenuation was determined as a reduction in virulence of the organism in the mouse model of infection. Site directed mutation of the gene results in a strain which shows at least 4 logs of attenuation when delivered both orally and intravenously. Animals vaccinated with such a strain are protected against subsequent challenge with the parent wild type strain. Finally, heterologous antigens such as the non-toxic and protective, binding domain from tetanus toxin, fragment C, can be delivered via the mucosal immune system using such strains of bacteria. This results in the induction of a fully protective immune response to subsequent challenge with native tetanus toxin.

The subject invention provides, for example, a novel approach to specifically induce intranasal and / or oral mucosal as well as humoral antibody response by administrating a mucosal delivery pentabody complex (MDPC). The MDPC is a complex formed by mixing a target antigen and a mucosal delivery pentabody (MDP) that has a strong affinity to the target antigen. The MDP is a fusion protein of a single domain antibody (sdAb; which binds to the target antigen specifically) to a pentamerization domain (which can include the B-subunit of an AB5 toxin family, including the B subunit of cholera toxin (CT) or heat-labile toxin (LT)). The pentamerization domain can self-assemble into a pentamer, through which a pentameric single domain antibody, or a pentabody, is formed.
