Abstract

Bacterial fimbriae can accept foreign peptides and display them on the cell surface. A highly efficient gene replacement method was used to generate peptide vaccines based on subsp. serovar Typhimurium LT2. DNA encoding an epitope from Sendai virus, SV9 (Sendai virus nucleoprotein peptide 324–332, FAPGNYPAL), which is known to induce cytotoxic T lymphocytes, was incorporated into the gene encoding AgfA (the major subunit protein of thin aggregative fimbriae of ) by replacing an equal length DNA segment. To improve cytotoxic T lymphocyte recognition, both termini of the peptide were flanked by double alanine (AA) or arginine (RR) residues. Western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy using AgfA-specific antiserum verified the expression of chimeric AgfA; expression was also proved by a Congo red binding assay. Oral immunizations of C57BL/6 mice with the four strains induced an epitope-specific T-cell response (detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay). When the mice were challenged with the Sendai virus, the magnitude of the infection was significantly reduced in the immunized groups compared with the controls. The fimbrial display system efficiently induces a cellular immune response and anti-infection immunity , providing a new strategy for the development of efficient peptide vaccination.
