Design and production of conjugate vaccines against S . Paratyphi A using an O-linked glycosylation system in vivo.
NPJ Vaccines 2018
Enteric fever, mainly caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi A , remains a common and serious infectious disease worldwide. As yet, there are no licensed vaccines against S . Paratyphi A . Biosynthesis of conjugate vaccines has become a promising approach against bacterial infection. However, the popular biosynthetic strategy using N-linked glycosylation systems does not recognize the specialized O-polysaccharide structure of S . Paratyphi A . Here, we describe an O-linked glycosylation approach, the only currently available glycosylation system suitable for an S . Paratyphi A conjugate vaccine. We successfully generated a recombinant S . Paratyphi A strain with a longer O-polysaccharide chain and transformed the O-linked glycosylation system into the strain. Thus, we avoided the need for construction of an O-polysaccharide expression vector. In vivo assays indicated that this conjugate vaccine could evoke IgG1 antibody to O-antigen of S . Paratyphi A strain CMCC 50973 and elicit bactericidal activity against S . Paratyphi A strain CMCC 50973 and five other epidemic strains. Furthermore, we replaced the peptides after the glycosylation site (Ser) with an antigenic peptide (P2). The results showed that the anti-lipopolysaccharide antibody titer, bactericidal activity of serum, and protective effect during animal challenge could be improved, indicating a potential strategy for further vaccine design. Our system provides an easier and more economical method for the production of S . Paratyphi A conjugate vaccines. Modification of the glycosylation site sequon provides a potential approach for the development of next-generation "precise conjugate vaccines."
