Construction of Live Attenuated Vaccine against Vib- rio alginolyticus and the Evaluation on Its Immuno- protection Effect

Vibrio alginolyticus, a gram-negative bacterium has been described to be one of the most common and economically important aquatic pathogens of fish and shellfish. Vaccine immunization is an effective approach preventing V. alginolyticus infection. Attenuated vaccine stimulates systemic immune response in the host, but few attenuated vaccine against V. alginolyticus is available. The type III secretion system （T3SS）, an important pathogenic factor of V. alginolyticus, is used by bacterial pathogens to inject effector proteins into the cytoplasm of their host cells. The T3SS forms a structure called needle complex with a multi-ring base that spans the bacteria and a needle-like extension that protrudes several nanometers from the bacterial surface, vscO locates at the ＂needle＂ site of T3SS, playing the role of escorting the molecular chaperone and effector proteins into host cells and further inducing the death of host cells. In this paper, an in-frame deletion mu- tant of vscO was constructed using overlap PCR and homologous recombination technology combining with chloramphenicol （Cm） and sucrose screening. The LDs0 changes of ZJO3AvscO mutant strains compared with the strain ZJ03 were e^amined in grouper （ Epinephelus coioides）. The ZJO3AvscO mutant showed about 150 times decrease in virulence in E. coioides compared with wide type ZJ03. After vaccination with ZJO3AvscO in E. coioides through injection and immersion, the spe- cific antibody titers were markedly higher than that in the saline control group （P 〈 0.05 ）. The titers of injection and immersion group on the forth week reached the maximums at 1：2 048 and 1： 128, respectively. The relative percentage survival （RPS） of injection group was 84%, while that in immersion group was 68%. These results indicate that the ZJO3AvscO of V. alginolyticus has a high immunogenicity, and can be used as live attenuated vaccine. In addition, RPS may be affected by vaccination and infection methods. This study can provide technical support for controlling fish diseases caused by V. alginolyticus.

Evaluatingα-galactosylceramide as an adjuvant for live attenuated infuenza vaccines in pigs

Natural killer T(NKT)cells activated with the glycolipid ligandα-galactosylceramide(α-GalCer)stimulate a wide variety of immune cells that enhance vaccine-mediated immune responses.Several studies have used this approach to adjuvant inactivated and subunit infuenza A virus(IAV)vaccines,including to enhance cross-protective infuenza immunity.However,less is known about whetherα-GalCer can enhance live attenuated infuenza virus(LAIV)vaccines,which usually induce superior heterologous and heterosubtypic immunity compared to non-replicating infuenza vaccines.The current study used the swine infuenza challenge model to assess whetherα-GalCer can enhance cross-protective immune responses elicited by a recombinant H3N2 LAIV vaccine(TX98ΔNS1)encoding a truncated NS1 protein.In one study,weaning pigs were administered the H3N2 TX98ΔNS1 LAIV vaccine with 0,10,50,and 100μg/kg doses ofα-GalCer,and subsequently challenged with a heterologous H3N2 virus.All treatment groups were protected from infection.However,the addition ofα-GalCer appeared to suppress nasal shedding of the LAIV vaccine.In another experiment,pigs vaccinated with the H3N2 LAIV,with or without 50μg/kg ofα-GalCer,were challenged with the heterosubtypic pandemic H1N1 virus.Pigs vaccinated with the LAIV alone generated cross-reactive humoral and cellular responses which blocked virus replication in the airways,and signifcantly decreased virus shedding.On the other hand,combining the vaccine withα-GalCer reduced cross-protective cellular and antibody responses,and resulted in higher virus titers in respiratory tissues.These fndings suggest that:(i)high doses ofα-GalCer impair the replication and nasal shedding of the LAIV vaccine;and(ii)α-GalCer might interfere with heterosubtypic cross-protective immune responses.This research raise concerns that should be considered before trying to use NKT cell agonists as a possible adjuvant approach for LAIV vaccines.

Induction of deletion mutation on ompR gene of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi isolates from asymptomatic typhoid carriers to evolve attenuated strains for vaccine development

Objective:To develop allenualed slrains of Salmonella enterica serorar Typhi(S.typhi) for the candidate vaccine by osmolar stress.Mothods:S.typhi SS3 and SS5 strains were isolated from asymptomatic typhoid carriers in Mamakkal,Tamil Nadu.India.Both strains were grown in LB(Luria Bertani) medium supplemented with various concentration of NaCl(0.1- 0.7M) respectively.The effecl of osmolar stress was determined at molecular level by PCR using MCR 06 and MCR07 primers corresponding to ompR with chromosomal DNA of S.typhi SS3 and SS5 strains.Attenuation by osmolar stress results in deletion mutation of the.S.typhi slrains was determined by agglutination assays,precipitation method.SDS PAGE analysis and by animal models.Results:The 799 bp amplified ompR gene product from wild type S.typhi SS3 and SS5 illustrate the presence of virulent gene.Interestingly,there was only a 282 bp amplified product from S.typhi SS3 and SS5 grown in the presence of 0.5.0.6 and 0.7 M NaCl.This illustrates the occurrence of deletion mutation in ompR gene al high concentration of NaCl.Furthermore,both the wildtype and mutant S.typhi outer membrane SDS-PAGF.profile reveals the differences in the expression of ompF.ompC and ompA proteins.In mice,wild type and mutant strains lethal dose(LD_(50)) were determined.The mice died within 72 h when both the wild type strains were injected intraperitoneally with 3 log CFU-mL^(-1).When the mice were injected with the mutants in same dosage,no clinical symptoms were observed;whereas the serum antibodv litre was elicited within two weeks indicated that the mutants have the ability to induce protective humoral immune response.These results suggest that S.typhi SS3 and SS5 may bo used as good candidate strains for the development of live attenuated vaccine against salmonellosis.Conclusions:This study demonstrates that the S.typhi strains were allenualed and could be good vaccine candidates in future.

Vaccination with the Live Attenuated <i>Francisella</i><i>novicida</i>Mutant <i>FTN0109</i>Protects against Pulmonary Tularemia

Francisella tularensis is considered a potential bioterrorism agent due to its low infectious dose, high mortality rate, and ability to be spread via the aerosol route. We characterized the F. tularensis subspecies novicida mutant strain FTN0109 as a potential vaccine candidate against tularemia. This strain, which lacks an outer membrane lipoprotein, is attenuated in vitro and in vivo, as it exhibits reduced replication within murine J774 macrophages and has a pulmonary LD50 in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice of >105 CFU (compared to WT parental strain U112, LD50 FTN0109 also conferred complete protection in BALB/c mice against subsequent pulmonary challenge with 10 LD50 (60,000 CFU) of the murine virulent Francisella strain LVS. We also have demonstrated partial protection (50%) against the highly human virulent subspecies tularensis strain SCHU S4 (25 LD50, 12,500 CFU) following intratracheal vaccination in the Fischer 344 rat, a second rodent model for tularemia. Overall, our results suggest that FTN0109 serves as a potential putative vaccine candidate against pulmonary tularemia.

越南非洲猪瘟疫苗AVAC ASF LIVE(ASFV-G-ΔMGF)研究工作分析与思考

非洲猪瘟(Afcrian swine fever,ASF)是由非洲猪瘟病毒(African swine fever virus,ASFV)感染引起的烈性传染病。近日,越南正式将经临床试验验证的非洲猪瘟弱毒疫苗AVAC ASF LIVE(ASFV-G-ΔMGF)在其全国推广使用。本文对越南非洲猪瘟弱毒疫苗ASFV-G-ΔMGF相关研究数据进行了总结分析,分别从ASFVG-ΔMGF株攻毒保护能力评价、传代细胞培养株临床动物实验、野猪口服接种试验、毒力返强验证等方面,结合国内相关ASFV基因缺失株试验数据进行了分析。总结分析发现:越南上市的ASFV-G-ΔMGF疫苗株,二次免疫接种后攻毒保护效果更好,但在对野猪的口服接种评价中,其口鼻接种效果存在不确定性;随着疫苗株在动物体内的不断传代,其存在毒力返强和毒株变异风险,导致接种猪只临床症状明显;ASFV-G-ΔMGF株虽然有较好的攻毒保护能力和可靠的生产优势,但仍缺乏相关研究数据,特别是在垂直传播、交叉保护、基因突变等方面。后续仍需对ASFV-G-ΔMGF株的临床应用效果进一步评价。

HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS TYPE 16 L1 PROTEIN CAN BE EXPRESSED IN LIVE ATTENUATED SHIGELLA FLEXNERI 5A STRAIN SH42

Objective Attenuated strains of Shigella are attractive live vaccine candidates for eliciting mucosal immune responses which is a suitable carrier for the prophylactic human papillomaviruses (HPV) vaccine development, To examine the potential of a live Shigella based prophylactic HPV vaccine, HPV16L1should be expressed in attenuated shigella strain. Methods A Shigella large invasive plasmid (icsA/virG) based prokaryotic expression plasmid pHS3199 was constructed. HPV16L1 gene was inserted into plasmid pHS3199 to form pHS3199-HPV16 L1 construct, and pHS3199-hpv16L1 was electroporated into a live attenuated shigella strain sh42. The expression of HPV16L1 protein was demonstrated by Western blotting with monoclonal antibody to HPV16L1, The genetic stability of recombinant strain sh42-HPV16 L1 was monitored by consecutive passage culture. Invasive ability of sh42-HPV16L1 was evaluated by Hela cell infection assay. Results HPV16 L1 protein can be expressed in recombinant strain sh42-HPV16 L1, and the protein stably expressed over 140 generations. The invasive ability of sh42-HPV16L1 was diminished dramatically compared to its parent strain, but not abolished completely. Conclusion HPV16L1 protein was constitutively expressed in the attenuated strain of shigella flexneri sh42, and maintained partial invasive ability. Our strategy may represent a promising vaccine candidate against genital HPV16 infection.

Lessons from Vibrio Pathogen and the Comparative Study of Vaccines Developed

Cholera continues to be one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality among children and adults in developing countries. Vaccine against cholera is an approach in the control of this epidemic and pandemic disease. From the development of very early oral cholera vaccine, advances in vaccine development documented due to a good illustration of the epidemiology, outbreak strategy, and pathophysiology of the disease causing pathogen. The newer-generation oral cholera vaccines are safe and guarantee a high level of protection during outbreak settings for several years. Yet infants and young children in developing countries are hyporesponsive to vaccines and show poor protection against cholera. In this review, we survey and analyse our current knowledge on the etiology of cholera, its clinical manifestation, global epidemiology and elaborate the vaccine candidates, which are effective against the pathogen and the corresponding immune responses to the available vaccines. These reviews comprehensively cover the salient features of recent discoveries related to Vibrio cholerae virulence, past and present vaccine candidates and their advantages and disadvantages with their development strategies. We believe that the advances that have been included in this review will give a comprehensive insight to the prevention and control of cholera outbreaks and development of effective cholera vaccines.

Intranasal administration of a single dose of a candidate live attenuated vaccine derived from an NSP16-deficient SARS-CoV-2 strain confers sterilizing immunity in animals

Live attenuated vaccines might elicit mucosal and sterilizing immunity against SARS-CoV-2 that the existing mRNA,adenoviral vector and inactivated vaccines fail to induce.Here,we describe a candidate live attenuated vaccine strain of SARS-CoV-2 in which the NSP16 gene,which encodes 2′-O-methyltransferase,is catalytically disrupted by a point mutation.This virus,designated d16,was severely attenuated in hamsters and transgenic mice,causing only asymptomatic and nonpathogenic infection.A single dose of d16 administered intranasally resulted in sterilizing immunity in both the upper and lower respiratory tracts of hamsters,thus preventing viral spread in a contact-based transmission model.It also robustly stimulated humoral and cell-mediated immune responses,thus conferring full protection against lethal challenge with SARS-CoV-2 in a transgenic mouse model.The neutralizing antibodies elicited by d16 effectively cross-reacted with several SARS-CoV-2 variants.Secretory immunoglobulin A was detected in the blood and nasal wash of vaccinated mice.Our work provides proof-of-principle evidence for harnessing NSP16-deficient SARS-CoV-2 for the development of live attenuated vaccines and paves the way for further preclinical studies of d16 as a prototypic vaccine strain,to which new features might be introduced to improve safety,transmissibility,immunogenicity and efficacy.

Evaluation of the Safety and Immune Efficacy of Recombinant Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus Strain Long Live Attenuated Vaccine Candidates

Human respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)infection is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract illness(LRTI),and no vaccine against LRTI has proven to be safe and effective in infants.Our study assessed attenuated recombinant RSVs as vaccine candidates to prevent RSV infection in mice.The constructed recombinant plasmids harbored(5′to 3′)a T7 promoter,hammerhead ribozyme,RSV Long strain antigenomic cDNA with cold-passaged(cp)mutations or cp combined with temperature-sensitive attenuated mutations from the A2 strain(A2cpts)or further combined with SH gene deletion(A2cptsΔSH),HDV ribozyme(δ),and a T7 terminator.These vectors were subsequently co-transfected with four helper plasmids encoding N,P,L,and M2-1 viral proteins into BHK/T7-9 cells,and the recovered viruses were then passaged in Vero cells.The rescued recombinant RSVs(rRSVs)were named rRSV-Long/A2cp,rRSV-Long/A2cpts,and rRSV-Long/A2cptsΔSH,respectively,and stably passaged in vitro,without reversion to wild type(wt)at sites containing introduced mutations or deletion.Although rRSV-Long/A2cpts and rRSV-Long/A2cptsΔSH displayed temperature-sensitive(ts)phenotype in vitro and in vivo,all rRSVs were significantly attenuated in vivo.Furthermore,BALB/c mice immunized with rRSVs produced Th1-biased immune response,resisted wtRSV infection,and were free from enhanced respiratory disease.We showed that the combination ofΔSH with attenuation(att)mutations of cpts contributed to improving att phenotype,efficacy,and gene stability of rRSV.By successfully introducing att mutations and SH gene deletion into the RSV Long parent and producing three rRSV strains,we have laid an important foundation for the development of RSV live attenuated vaccines.

Current efforts towards safe and effective live attenuated vaccines against African swine fever: challenges and prospects

Background: African swine fever (ASF) is a fatal hemorrhagic disease in domestic pigs and wild boar caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV). Since ASF has been introduced into Europe and Asia, the major pig-raising areas, posing a huge threat to the pork industry worldwide. Currently, prevention and control of ASF are basically dependent on strict biosecurity measures and stamping-out policy once ASF occurs.Main text: The major risks of ASF spread are insufficient biosecurity measures and human behaviors. Therefore, a safe and effective vaccine seems to be a reasonable demand for the prevention and control of ASF. Due to the efficacy advantage over other types of vaccines, live attenuated vaccines (LAVs), especially virulence-associated genes deleted vaccines, are likely to be put into emergency and conditional use in restricted areas if ASF is out of control in a country with a huge pig population and pork consumption, like China. However, the safety, efficacy, and genetic stability of current candidate ASF LAVs require comprehensive clinical evaluations prior to country-wide field application. Several critical issues need to be addressed to commercialize an ideal ASF LAV, including a stable cell line for manufacturing vaccines, differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA), and cross-protection from different genotypes.Conclusion: A safe and effective DIVA vaccine and an accompanying diagnostic assay will facilitate the prevention, control, and eradication of ASF, which is quite challenging in the near future.

解析疫苗接种后抗体记忆的维持:进展与挑战

“首次感染可以为二次感染提供免疫保护”的生物学基本原理推动近代疫苗的诞生与使用。这种免疫保护的基础是抗体记忆,然而各种疫苗引起的有效抗体应答的持续时间各不相同。临床研究发现,接种减毒活疫苗后引起的中和抗体滴度通常水平较高且持续时间久。但减毒活疫苗存在难以回避的安全性风险,因此有必要进一步研究高水平、高质量抗体记忆的产生机制与调控因素,以开发兼具保护性与安全性的新型疫苗。抗体记忆的维持主要依赖于长寿浆细胞介导的抗体分泌,以及记忆B细胞在二次感染时介导的快速记忆性抗体应答。抗原结构与抗原效价、疫苗的抗原载量与免疫策略、病原体相关物质与疫苗佐剂等因素均可通过影响生发中心反应调控抗体记忆的持续时长。本文将梳理疫苗中各成分及因素对抗体记忆生成和维持的相关机制,并尝试讨论目前疫苗学和基础免疫学领域对此方面仍存有的问题与挑战。

A live attenuated RHΔompdcΔuprt mutant of Toxoplasma gondii induces strong protective immunity against toxoplasmosis in mice and cats

Background Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasite and is responsible for zoonotic toxoplasmosis.It is essential to develop an effective anti-T.gondii vaccine for the control of toxoplasmosis,and this study is to explore the immunoprotective effects of a live attenuated vaccine in mice and cats.Methods First,theompdc anduprt genes of T.gondii were deleted through the CRISPR-Cas9 system.Then,the intracellular proliferation and virulence of this mutant strain were evaluated.Subsequently,the immune responses induced by this mutant in mice and cats were detected,including antibody titers,cytokine levels,and subsets of T lymphocytes.Finally,the immunoprotective effects were evaluated by challenge with tachyzoites of different strains in mice or cysts of the ME49 strain in cats.Furthermore,to discover the effective immune element against toxoplasmosis,passive immunizations were carried out.GraphPad Prism software was used to conduct the log-rank(Mantel–Cox)test,Student’st test and one-way ANOVA.Results The RHΔompdcΔuprt were constructed by the CRISPR-Cas9 system.Compared with the wild-type strain,the mutant notably reduced proliferation(P<0.05).In addition,the mutant exhibited virulence attenuation in both murine(BALB/c and BALB/c-nu)and cat models.Notably,limited pathological changes were found in tissues from RHΔompdcΔuprt-injected mice.Furthermore,compared with nonimmunized group,high levels of IgG(IgG1 and IgG2a)antibodies and cytokines(IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-10,IL-2 and IL-12)in mice were detected by the mutant(P<0.05).Remarkably,all RHΔompdcΔuprt-vaccinated mice survived a lethal challenge with RHΔku80 and ME49 and WH6 strains.The immunized sera and splenocytes,especially CD8^(+)T cells,could significantly extend(P<0.05)the survival time of mice challenged with the RHΔku80 strain compared with naïve mice.In addition,compared with nonimmunized cats,cats immunized with the mutant produced high levels of antibodies and cytokines(P<0.05),and notably decreased the shedding numbers of oocysts in feces(95.3%).Conclusions The avirulent RHΔompdcΔuprt strain can provide strong anti-T.gondii immune responses,and is a promising candidate for developing a safe and effective live attenuated vaccine.
