Zusammenfassung: | Objective
To construct a food-grade bacterium producing and delivering
H. pylori
Lpp20 antigen and evaluate its immune efficacy against
H. pylori
challenges with aim to develop anti-
H. pylori
oral vaccines and functional foods.
Results
Lpp20 was expressed as a 22 kDa protein in
Lactococcus lactis
, constituting 11.2% of the cell lysate proteins, and recognized by mouse antisera. Mice orally gavaged with the engineered bacterium had elevated serum IgG levels and lowered urease activity of stomach following
H. pylori
challenges.
Conclusions
This study firstly reports a food-grade
L. lactis
strain delivering Lpp20 to mucosal immunization sites, demonstrating a novel efficient production and safe utilization mode of Lpp20, offering a promising vaccine candidate and health food sources. |
