Protection Against Helicobacter pylori Infection in BALB/c Mouse Model by Oral Administration of Multivalent Epitope-Based Vaccine of Cholera Toxin B Subunit-HUUC.

ABSTRACT: Vaccination is an increasingly important alternative approach to control Helicobacter pylori infection, since H. pylori resistance to previously efficacious antibiotic regimens is increased, and H. pylori eradication treatment for upper gastrointestinal diseases is becoming less successful. Fortunately, an efficient oral monovalent H. pylori vaccine has been developed. However, compared with monovalent vaccines, multivalent vaccines have the potential to induce more effective and comprehensive protection against H. pylori infection. In this study, we designed and produced a multivalent epitope-based vaccine cholera toxin B subunit (CTB)-HUUC with the intramucosal adjuvant CTB and tandem copies of B-cell epitopes (HpaA132-141, UreA183-203, and UreB321-339)
