Evaluation of the humoral immune response in mice orally vaccinated with live recombinant attenuated Salmonella enterica delivering a secreted form of Yersinia pestis PsaA

Abstract Yersinia pestis PsaA is an adhesin that is synthesized inside macrophages. Here, we evaluated the immune profile of codon-optimized Y. pestis PsaA synthesized in a live recombinant attenuated Salmonella vaccine (RASV) strain χ9558. Oral immunization of BALB/c mice with χ9558(pYA3705) delive...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Yersinia pestis PsaA is an adhesin that is synthesized inside macrophages. Here, we evaluated the immune profile of codon-optimized Y. pestis PsaA synthesized in a live recombinant attenuated Salmonella vaccine (RASV) strain χ9558. Oral immunization of BALB/c mice with χ9558(pYA3705) delivering a secreted form of PsaA, elicited a systemic PsaA-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) response but offered limited protection against lethal challenge with the intranasally introduced Y. pestis CO92 strain. Our results suggest that appropriate fine-tuning of Y. pestis PsaA delivery by RASV could improve its protective role in curtailing plague colonization and infection.
