Immunogenicity and protection efficacy of enhanced fitness recombinant Salmonella Typhi monovalent and bivalent vaccine strains against acute toxoplasmosis.

ABSTRACT: The proficiency of Salmonella Typhi to induce cell-mediated immunity has allowed its exploitation as a live vector against the obligate intracellular protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. T. gondii vaccine research is of great medical value due to the lack of a suitable toxoplasmosis vaccine. In the present work, we integrated T. gondii antigen into a growth-dependent chromosome locus guaBA of S. Typhi CVD910 strain to form recombinant S. Typhi monovalent CVD910-SAG1 expressed T. gondii SAG1 antigen and monovalent CVD910-GRA2 expressed T. gondii GRA2 antigen. Furthermore, a low-copy stabilized recombinant plasmid encoding SAG1 antigen was transformed into CVD910-GRA2 to form bivalent CVD910-GS strain. An osmolarity-regulated promoter wa
