Construction of a potential live oral bivalent vaccine for typhoid fever and cholera-Escherichia coli-related diarrheas.
Authors:J D Clements and S El-Morshidy
Abstract:We used the Salmonella typhi galactose epimerase (galE) mutant strain Ty21a, shown to be a safe, effective, living, attenuated oral typhoid vaccine, as a recipient for a recombinant plasmid containing the gene for production of the nontoxic B subunit of the heat-labile enterotoxin of Escherichia coli. The S. typhi derivative, strain SE12, produced heat-labile enterotoxin subunit B that was structurally and immunologically indistinguishable from heat-labile enterotoxin subunit B produced by strains of E. coli harboring the same plasmid. Tests in mice and guinea pigs showed that strain SE12 was safe when given orally and was capable of inducing a significant antitoxic antibody response when injected parenterally. Moreover, it retained the galactose sensitivity of the parent strain, preserving its utility as a typhoid vaccine. This strain may prove to be a useful live oral bivalent vaccine strain for typhoid fever and cholera-E. coli-related diarrheas.
