Protective immunity enhanced vaccine vectors delivering antigens reduce stomach colonization in mice.

is a major cause of gastric mucosal inflammation, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. Emerging antimicrobial-resistant has hampered the effective eradication of frequent chronic infections. Moreover, a safe vaccine is highly demanded due to the absence of effective vaccines against . In this study, we employed a new innovative Protective Immunity Enhanced Vaccine (PIESV) vector strain to deliver and express multiple antigen genes. Immunization of mice with our vaccine delivering the HpaA, Hp-NAP, UreA and UreB antigens, provided sterile protection against SS1 infection in 7 out of 10 tested mice. In comparison to the control groups that had received PBS or a PIESV carrying an empty vector, immunized mice exhibited specific and significant cellular recall responses and antigen-specific serum IgG1, IgG2c, total IgG and gastric IgA antibody titers. In conclusion, an improved Typhimurium-based live vaccine delivering four antigens shows promise as a safe and effective vaccine against infection.
