| الوصف: | CS6, a prevalent surface antigen expressed in nearly 20% of clinical enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolates, is comprised of two major subunit proteins, CssA and CssB. Using donor strand complementation, we constructed a panel of recombinant proteins of 1 to 3 subunits that contained combinations of CssA and/or CssB subunits and a donor strand, a C-terminal extension of 16 amino acids that was derived from the N terminus of either CssA or CssB. While the entire panel of recombinant proteins could be obtained as soluble, folded proteins, it was observed that the proteins possessing a heterologous donor strand, derived from the CS6 subunit different from the C-terminal subunit, had the highest degree of physical and thermal stability. Immunological characterization of the proteins, using a murine model, demonstrated that robust anti-CS6 immune responses were generated from fusions containing both CssA and CssB. Proteins containing only CssA were weakly immunogenic. Heterodimers, i.e., CssBA and CssAB, were sufficient to recapitulate the anti-CS6 immune response elicited by immunization with CS6, including the generation of functional neutralizing antibodies, as no further enhancement of the response was obtained with the addition of a third CS6 subunit. Our findings here demonstrate the feasibility of including a recombinant CS6 subunit protein in a subunit vaccine strategy against ETEC. Copyright 2019 American Society for Microbiology.
