A Tripartite Fusion, FaeG-FedF-LT192A2:B, of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) Elicits Antibodies That Neutralize Cholera Toxin, Inhibit Adherence of K88 (F4) and F18 Fimbriae, and Protect Pigs against K88ac/Heat-Labile Toxin Infection

Abstract: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains expressing K88 (F4) or F18 fimbriae and heat-labile (LT)and/or heat-stable (ST) toxins are the major cause of diarrhea in young pigs. Effective vaccines inducing antiadhesin (anti-K88 and anti-F18) and antitoxin (anti-LT and anti-ST) immunity would provide broad protection to young pigs against ETEC. In this study, we genetically fused nucleotides coding for peptides from K88ac major subunit FaeG, F18 minor subunit FedF, and LT toxoid (LT 192 ) A2 and B subunits … Show more

“…Blood and fecal pellets were collected from each mouse before the immunization and weekly after each immunization. Fecal pellets were suspended in fecal reconstitution buffer supplemented with the protease inhibitor phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (Sigma) at a ratio of 1:6 (1 g feces to 5 ml buffer) (37). Fecal suspensions were centrifuged, and supernatants were collected.…”

“…To titrate anti-FanC antibodies, heat-extracted K99 fimbriae were used as ELISA coating antigens. K99 fimbriae were extracted based on methods previously described (37,39). Briefly, K99 fimbrial E. coli strain I297 bacteria, grown on sheep blood agar plates for 18 h at 37°C, were harvested and suspended gently in PBS.…”

“…Two booster injections at the same dose as the primary injection but with Freund incomplete adjuvant followed at biweekly intervals. Serum and fecal suspension samples (1 g of feces was suspended in 5 ml of fecal reconstitution buffer [10 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20, 5 mM sodium azide, pH 7.4; 1:6 dilution]) (22,27) were collected from each mouse prior to immunization and 10 to 12 days after each immunization and were then stored at Ϫ80°C until use. On day 37, mice were anesthetized with CO 2 and exsanguinated.…”
