Comparative Immunogenicity of Bacterially Expressed Soluble Trimers and Nanoparticle Displayed Influenza Hemagglutinin Stem Immunogens

Abstract: Current influenza vaccines need to be updated annually due to mutations in the globular head of the viral surface protein, hemagglutinin (HA). To address this, vaccine candidates have been designed based on the relatively conserved HA stem domain and have shown protective efficacy in animal models. Oligomerization of the antigens either by fusion to oligomerization motifs or display on self-assembling nanoparticle scaffolds, can induce more potent immune responses compared to the corresponding monomeric antige… Show more

“…Each protomer of the Encapsulin can be fused to a desired antigen for surface presentation [ 42 , 43 ]. We have characterized Encapsulin for the display of Influenza hemagglutinin stem derived vaccine antigens, which provided complete protection against lethal challenge in mice [ 26 ]. In this case, the antigen of interest was a mammalian expressed, monomeric derivative of the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor binding domain, mRBD (residues 332–532) [ 44 ].…”

“…Serum antibody-binding titers were measured as described previously [ 26 ]. Briefly, mRBD or spike-2P (4 µg/mL, in 1× PBS, 50 µL/well) was coated on 96-well plates which were incubated at 25 °C for 2 h. Four washes with 1× PBST (200 µL/well) were given, following which wells were blocked with blocking solution (100 µL, 3% skimmed milk in 1× PBST) for 1 h at 25 °C.…”

“…Purified MsDps2 and its variants were incubated with various types of DNA and visualized by negative staining TEM to observe the interaction of protein and DNA. All the samples were prepared by conventional negative staining methods (Kar et al ., 2022). A carbon-coated copper grid (EM grid, 300 mesh; TedPella) was glow-discharged (GloQube glow discharge system, Quorum) for 30 s at 20 mA.…”

“…20 The former particle was administered to mice with Freund’s adjuvant and the latter with the Sigma adjuvant system. Encapsulins from Myxococcus xanthus were recently engineered to display receptor binding domains form SARS-CoV-2 virus 24 or influenza hemagglutinin, 23 and were tested immunologically with a squalene-in-water emulsion adjuvant. Lastly, only one report has appeared of an encapsulin-peptide conjugate vaccine, in this case using the prototypical Ova2 peptide (SIINFEKL) antigen attached by chemical means to T. maritima encapsulins and administered with poly (I:C) adjuvant.…”
