The alternative sigma factor RpoS (σs) is required for Salmonella virulence in mice. We report the immunizing capacity of Salmonella typhimurlum rpoS and rpoS aroA mutants to protect susceptible BALB/c mice against subsequent oral challenge with virulent S. typhimurium. When administered orally or intraperitoneally, rpoS derivatives of the mouse-virulent S. typhimurium strains, C52 and SL1344, were highly attenuated and were efficient single-dose live vaccines. rpoS aroA mutants were more attenuated than corresponding single aroA or rpoS mutants, as assessed after oral or intraperitoneal administration, but retained significant ability to protect mice against salmonellosis. Salmonella rpoS and rpoS aroA mutants therefore deserve serious consideration for rational vaccine design. Consistent with this, Salmonella typhi Ty2, a ‘wild-type’ strain used widely for the development of human live-vaccine candidates against typhoid fever, was shown to be defective for rpoS. In addition, our results demonstrate that rpoS not only controls the growth and persistence of S. typhimurium in deep lymphoid organs, but also plays a role during the initial stages of oral infection. 相似文献

Salmonella typhi strain Ty21a has been used for live oral vaccine. The infectivity of Ty21a, in comparison with S. typhi Ty2, was evaluated using the human monocyte-macrophage cell line U937. Assays were performed by quantitative microscopy and viable count technique. Ty2 infected approximately 100% of the cells, multiplied extensively within these cells and caused cell death. The same dose of Ty21a infected only about 15% of the cells, resulting in a low number of intracellular bacilli and cell survival. The use of gentamicin in the test confirmed intracellular multiplication of Ty2 but not Ty21a. The system described may be suitable as a test system for characterization of the degree of virulence of Ty21a and other live, oral typhoid vaccines. 相似文献

We have developed a recombinant live oral vaccine using the ice-nucleation protein (Inp) from Pseudomonas syringae to display viral antigens on the surface of Salmonella spp. Fusion proteins containing viral antigens were expressed in the oral vaccine strain, Salmonella typhi Ty21a. Surface localization was verified by immunoblotting and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The immunogenicity of surface-displayed viral antigens on the recombinant live vaccine strain was assessed in mice inoculated intranasally and intraperitoneally. Inoculation resulted in significantly higher serum antibody level than those induced by viral antigens expressed intracellularly. Thus, this multivalent mucosal live vaccine may provide an effective means for inducing mucosal or systemic immune responses against multiple viral antigens. 相似文献

The attenuation and immunoenhancing effects of rpoS and phoP Salmonella enterica serovar strain Typhi (Salmonella typhi) mutants have not been compared. Here, three S. typhi deletion mutants (phoP, rpoS, and rpoS-phoP double mutant) are constructed and these mutants are characterized with respect to invasiveness, virulence, and protective immune response compared with wild-type Ty2. It was found that phoP and phoP-rpoS deletion mutants are less invasive to HT-29 cells than the wild-type Ty2 and the rpoS single-deleted strain. The LD(50) of immunized mice was higher for phoP than for rpoS mutants, and the highest for the phoP-rpoS double mutant. In addition, all S. typhi mutants showed an increase in the specific serum IgG levels and T-cell-mediated immunity, and showed equal protection abilities against a wild-type Ty2 challenge after two rounds of immunization in BALB/c mice. It is concluded that phoP genes appear to play a more important role than rpoS genes in both cellular invasion and virulence of S. typhi, but not in immunogenicity in mice. Furthermore, the data indicate that the phoP-rpoS double mutant may show promise as a candidate for an attenuated typhoid vaccine. 相似文献

The translation of rpoS , which encodes the general stress sigma factor, σS , in Escherichia coli , is stimulated by various stress conditions. Regulatory factors involved in this control are the RNA-binding Hfq (HF-I) protein, the histone-like protein H-NS and the small regulatory DsrA-RNA (with the last being specifically required for increased rpoS translation at low temperature). Here, we report the characterization of a transposon insertion mutant (Tn 10 -8) with reduced σS levels that led to the identification of an additional factor involved in the regulation of rpoS translation, the LysR-like regulator LeuO. Tn 10 -8 decreases rpoS translation predominantly at low growth temperature. The mutation results in similarly strongly reduced DsrA-RNA expression and does not affect rpoS expression in a dsrA null mutant background, indicating that it affects rpoS translation via DsrA-RNA. Tn 10 -8 is inserted 26 bp upstream of the leuO open reading frame, which encodes a putative LysR-like regulator of unknown function. Instead of being a leuO null mutation, Tn 10 -8 activates leuO expression as a result of the pout promoter on IS 10 L reading into leuO , indicating that LeuO represses dsrA and thereby reduces rpoS translation at low temperature. LeuO does not contribute to temperature regulation of dsrA since its own expression is rather low and not temperature dependent. In a mutant deficient for H-NS, however, leuO is strongly derepressed. We conclude that rpoS translation is controlled by a regulatory network that includes Hfq, H-NS, LeuO and DsrA-RNA. In this network, H-NS plays a dual role by interfering with rpoS translation in general and, via LeuO, influencing the synthesis of its own low-temperature antagonist, DsrA-RNA. 相似文献

IgA-driven T cell-mediated anti-bacterial immunity in man after live oral Ty 21a vaccine 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Cellular immunity against Salmonella typhi was observed by using a direct anti-bacterial in vitro assay in volunteers orally vaccinated with the live S. typhi mutant strain Ty 21a. With this experimental approach, it was demonstrated that Ty 21a vaccine also induces cellular immunity against S. paratyphi A and B. Interestingly, the mechanism involved in cellular immunity against bacteria seems to be of an antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) type, with IgA acting as the humoral arm and CD4+ T lymphocytes as the cellular one. In accordance with the increase in IgA-driven ADCC against S. typhi, a major rise in IgA against O and H antigens was observed in the serum of vaccinees in parallel to an increase in IgG of identical specificity. Furthermore, a Ty 21 vaccine induced cellular activity against flagellar antigens. These results indicate that IgA-ADCC by T lymphocytes against bacteria can originate from local stimulation of the gut mucosal immune system. This cellular defense mechanism might be at the origin of the protection induced by Ty 21a vaccine. 相似文献

Live attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi Ty21a (Ty21a) is an important vaccine strain used in clinical studies for typhoid fever and as a vaccine vector
for the expression of heterologous antigens. To facilitate the use of Ty21a in such studies, it is desirable to develop improved
strategies that enable the stable chromosomal integration and expression of multiple heterologous antigens. The phage λ Red
homologous recombination system has previously been used in various gram-negative bacteria species to mediate the accurate
replacement of regions of chromosomal DNA with PCR-generated ‘targeting cassettes’ that contain flanking regions of shared
homologous DNA sequence. However, the efficiency of λ Red-mediated recombineering in Ty21a is far lower than in Escherichia coli and other Salmonella typhimurium strains. Here, we describe an improved strategy for recombineering-based methods in Ty21a. Our reliable and efficient method
involves the use of linear DNA-targeting cassettes that contain relatively long flanking ‘arms’ of sequence (ca. 1,000 bp)
homologous to the chromosomal target. This enables multiple gene-targeting procedures to be performed on a single Ty21a chromosome
in a straightforward, sequential manner. Using this strategy, we inserted three different influenza antigen expression cassettes
as well as a green fluorescent protein gene reporter into four different loci on the Ty21a chromosome, with high efficiency
and accuracy. Fluorescent microscopy and Western blotting analysis confirmed that strong inducible expression of all four
heterologous genes could be achieved. In summary, we have developed an efficient, robust, and versatile method that may be
used to construct recombinant Ty21a antigen-expressing strains. 相似文献

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. typhi) strain Ty21a remains the only licensed attenuated typhoid vaccine. Despite years of research, the identity of the protective immunological mechanisms elicited by immunization with the Ty21a typhoid vaccine remains elusive. The present study was designed to characterize effector T cell responses in volunteers immunized with S. typhi strain Ty21a typhoid vaccine. We determined whether immunization with Ty21a induced specific CTL able to lyse S. typhi-infected cells and secrete IFN-gamma, a key effector molecule against intracellular pathogens. We measured the functional activity of these CTL by a (51)Cr-release assay using 8-day restimulated PBMC from Ty21a vaccinees as effector cells and S. Typhi-infected autologous PHA-activated PBMC as target cells. Most vaccinees exhibited consistently increased CD8-mediated lysis of targets by postimmunization PBMC when compared with preimmunization levels. We also developed an IFN-gamma ELISPOT assay to quantify the frequency of IFN-gamma spot-forming cells (SFC) in PBMC from Ty21a vaccinees using an ex vivo system. Significant increases in the frequency of IFN-gamma SFC following immunization (mean +/- SD, 393 +/- 172; range 185-548 SFC/10(6) PBMC; p = 0.010), as compared with preimmunization levels, were observed. IFN-gamma was secreted predominantly by CD8(+) T cells. A strong correlation was recorded between the cytolytic activity of CTL lines and the frequency of IFN-gamma SFC (r(2) = 0.910, p < 0.001). In conclusion, this work constitutes the first evidence that immunization of volunteers with Ty21a elicits specific CD8(+) CTL and provides an estimate of the frequency of CD8(+) IFN-gamma-secreting cells induced by vaccination. 相似文献

The RpoS sigma factor (σ(S)) is the master regulator of the bacterial response to a variety of stresses. Mutants in rpoS arise in bacterial populations in the absence of stress, probably as a consequence of a subtle balance between self-preservation and nutritional competence. We characterized here one natural rpoS mutant of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (Ty19). We show that the rpoS allele of Ty19 (rpoS(Ty19)) led to the synthesis of a σ(S)(Ty19) protein carrying a single glycine-to-valine substitution at position 282 in σ(S) domain 4, which was much more dependent than the wild-type σ(S) protein on activation by Crl, a chaperone-like protein that increases the affinity of σ(S) for the RNA polymerase core enzyme (E). We used the bacterial adenylate cyclase two-hybrid system to demonstrate that Crl bound to residues 72 to 167 of σ(S) domain 2 and that G282V substitution did not directly affect Crl binding. However, this substitution drastically reduced the ability of σ(S)(Ty19) to bind E in a surface plasmon resonance assay, a defect partially rescued by Crl. The modeled structure of the Eσ(S) holoenzyme suggested that substitution G282V could directly disrupt a favorable interaction between σ(S) and E. The rpoS(Ty19) allele conferred a competitive fitness when the bacterial population was wild type for crl but was outcompeted in Δcrl populations. Thus, these results indicate that the competitive advantage of the rpoS(Ty19) mutant is dependent on Crl and suggest that crl plays a role in the appearance of rpoS mutants in bacterial populations. 相似文献

Identification and validation of T-cell epitopes in outer membrane protein (OMP) of Salmonella typhi
Arifur Rahman Tanu Mohammad Arif Ashraf Md Faruk Hossain Md Ismail Hossain Uddin Shekhar 《Bioinformation》2014,10(8):480-486
This study aims to design epitope-based peptides for the utility of vaccine development by targeting outer membrane protein F
(Omp F), because two available licensed vaccines, live oral Ty21a and injectable polysaccharide, are 50% to 80% protective with a
higher rate of side effects. Conventional vaccines take longer time for development and have less differentiation power between
vaccinated and infected cells. On the other hand, Peptide-based vaccines present few advantages over other vaccines, such as
stability of peptide, ease to manufacture, better storage, avoidance of infectious agents during manufacture, and different
molecules can be linked with peptides to enhance their immunogenicity. Omp F is highly conserved and facilitates attachment and
fusion of Salmonella typhi with host cells. Using various databases and tools, immune parameters of conserved sequences from Omp
F of different isolates of Salmonella typhi were tested to predict probable epitopes. Binding analysis of the peptides with MHC
molecules, epitopes conservancy, population coverage, and linear B cell epitope prediction were analyzed. Among all those
predicted peptides, ESYTDMAPY epitope interacted with six MHC alleles and it shows highest amount of interaction compared to
others. The cumulative population coverage for these epitopes as vaccine candidates was approximately 70%. Structural analysis
suggested that epitope ESYTDMAPY fitted well into the epitope-binding groove of HLA-C*12:03, as this HLA molecule was
common which interact with each and every predicted epitopes. So, this potential epitope may be linked with other molecules to
enhance its immunogenicity and used for vaccine development. 相似文献

Modulation of humoral immune response through probiotic intake 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Thirty healthy volunteers were randomised into three different treatment groups and consumed Lactobacillus GG, Lactococcus lactis or placebo (ethyl cellulose) for 7 days. On days 1, 3 and 5, an attenuated Salmonella typhi Ty21a oral vaccine was given to all subjects to mimic an enteropathogenic infection. All subjects responded well to the vaccine, but no significant differences were observed in numbers of IgA-, IgG- and IgM-secreting cells among the different groups. There was a trend towards a greater increase in specific IgA among the subjects receiving the vaccine in combination with Lactobacillus GG. Those receiving L. lactis with their vaccine evinced significantly higher CR3 receptor expression on neutrophils than those receiving either the placebo or Lactobacillus GG. These results indicate that probiotics may influence differently the immune response to oral S. typhi vaccine and that the immunomodulatory effect of probiotics is strain-dependent. 相似文献

To determine whether the stationary sigma factor, σS , influences polyhydroxyalkanoate metabolism in Pseudomonas putida KT2440, an rpoS -negative mutant was constructed to evaluate polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulation and expression of a translational fusion to the promoter region of the genes that code for polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase 1 ( phaC1 ) and polyhydroxyalkanoate depolymerase ( phaZ ). By comparison with the wild-type, the rpoS mutant showed a higher polyhydroxyalkanoate degradation rate and increased expression of the translational fusion during the stationary growth phase. These results suggest that σS might control the genes involved in polyhydroxyalkanoate metabolism, possibly in an indirect manner. In addition, survival and oxidative stress assays performed under polyhydroxyalkanoate- and nonpolyhydroxyalkanoate- accumulating conditions demonstrated that the accumulated polyhydroxyalkanoate increased the survival and stress tolerance of the rpoS mutant. According to this, polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulation would help cells to overcome the adverse conditions encountered during the stationary phase in the strain that lacks RpoS. 相似文献
