[Strains of Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 that produce the basic protective antigens].
To find out stable and effective producers of major protective antigens intended for use as components of cholera chemical vaccine against V. cholerae strains of serogroups O and O139, the comparative analysis of the production of cholera toxin, toxin-coregulated pili (TCP), antigens O1 and O139, polysaccharide capsule and outer membrane protein OmpU in different V. cholerae strains groups O1 and O139 has been made. V. cholerae strain KM68, serogroup O1, has been found capable of the production of antigen O1, serovar Ogawa, protein OmpU at a sufficiently high level and the hyperproduction of cholera toxin and TCP, and thus suitable for use in the manufacture of cholera bivalent vaccine as the source of these antigens. Specially selected alysogenic noncapsular strain KM137 of serogroup O139, characterized by a high and stable level of the biosynthesis of this somatic antigen when grown in both laboratory and production conditions, may serve as the produces of antigen O139.
