title: Live, attenuated Salmonella typhimurium vectoring Campylobacter antigens.
abstract: We describe the evaluation of three live, attenuated deltaphoP/Q Salmonella enteric serovar Typhimurium strains expressing PEB1 minus its signal sequence (PEB1-ss) from three different plasmids: a pBR-based asd plasmid, an arabinose-based runaway plasmid, which each expressed PEB1-ss in the bacterial cytosol, and a PEB1::HlyA fusion plasmid that directs secretion of PEB1-ss into the extracellular milieu. Serum IgG responses specific for PEB1-ss were induced by pBR-derived and runaway plasmids, with 100 and 90% seroconversion, respectively, at a 1:500 dilution of anti-sera as measured by Western blot analysis, while the PEB1-ss::HlyA fusion plasmid induced serum IgG in only 20% of the mice. Although significant levels of anti-PEB serum IgG were induced, no protection against oral Campylobacter jejuni challenge was observed.
