Recombinant truncated E protein as a new vaccine candidate against nontypeable H. influenzae: Its expression and immunogenic evaluation.

Abstract:

:Protein E (PE) is a conserved entity observed in both nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) and encapsulated H. influenzae. This is a small surface lipoprotein, consisting of only 160 amino acids, involved in the adhesion of H. influenzae to various types of epithelial cells. A 384-bp-long fragment from NTHi PE was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pBAD-gIIIA. The recombinant protein was expressed with arabinose and then purified by affinity purification on an Ni-NTA agarose matrix. BALB/c mice were immunized by subcutaneous injection with purified recombinant truncated PE mixed with an alum adjuvant. Serum antibody response and the functional activity of antibodies were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and serum bactericidal assay (SBA), respectively. Colony PCR, double digestion, and sequencing were used to verify successful cloning of truncated PE. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and western blot analyses indicated the presence of a ∼15-kDa recombinant protein. Serum IgG, IgG1, and IgG2a levels were significantly higher in the group immunized by recombinant truncated PE mixed with an alum adjuvant, compared to the non-vaccinated control group. Development of a strong bactericidal effect against NTHi was observed in the serum samples from immunized animals. Our findings suggest that recombinant truncated PE is a potential vaccine candidate for NTHi.
