Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to collect the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile, deionized water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. We recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50%, provided as a guideline.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and protein stability. Generally, liquid formulations have a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized formulations have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Upon receipt, store at -20°C/-80°C. Aliquot for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Q&A

Advanced Research Questions

  • How can researchers optimize antigen expression levels in recombinant Salmonella Choleraesuis?

Optimizing antigen expression requires balancing sufficient production for immunogenicity while minimizing metabolic burden:

Optimization StrategyMethodological ApproachConsiderations
Promoter selectionTest constitutive vs. inducible promoters
Compare in vitro and in vivo expression
"Use of regulated promoter systems like the arabinose-inducible PBAD promoter"
Codon optimizationAdapt codons to S. Choleraesuis preference
Analyze GC content and rare codons
Enhances translation efficiency and protein yield
Signal sequence engineeringTest Sec vs. TAT pathway signals
Optimize secretion efficiency
"Synthesize and secrete the surface protein"
Plasmid copy numberCompare different origins of replication
Balance expression vs. metabolic burden
Plasmids like pYA3493 and pYA3943 with pBR origin
Expression timingEvaluate early vs. delayed expression
Use environmentally-responsive promoters
"Regulated delayed exogenous synthesis system"

The search results highlight a critical consideration: "Foreign antigen expression may influence the growth capacity of the rSC0016 vector" , indicating the need to carefully balance expression with vector fitness.

  • What strategies exist to reduce reactogenicity while maintaining immunogenicity in Salmonella vaccine vectors?

Achieving the optimal balance between safety and efficacy is crucial for vaccine development:

Attenuation StrategyMechanismEffect on Balance
Regulated delayed attenuationGradual attenuation after colonization
Examples: ΔPcrp527::TT araC PBAD crp
ΔPfur88::TT araC PBAD fur
"Achieving the proper balance between immunogenicity and attenuation"
"Sufficient metabolic activity should be maintained to enable the live vaccine to reach deep lymphatic tissues"
Virulence factor deletionRemoval of specific inflammatory mediators
Example: ΔsopB
"Incorporating a sopB mutation" to reduce reactogenicity
Multiple independent mutationsCombinatorial attenuation approach
Prevents reversion to virulence
"Multiple independent defined mutations were introduced into Salmonella"
Metabolic engineeringTargeting non-essential pathways
Example: Δpmi-2426
Contributes to attenuation while preserving immunogenicity
Fur regulationControls iron acquisition systems
Affects acid tolerance
"A S. Typhimurium strain with an arabinose regulated fur mutation is adequately attenuated and highly immunogenic"

The search results specifically address this challenge: "A live-attenuated S. Choleraesuis vaccine candidate strain rSC0011 occasionally lead to morbidity (enteritidis) in vaccinated mice," necessitating development of strain rSC0012 with fur-based attenuation .

  • How do mutations in the fur gene affect the balance between attenuation and immunogenicity of Salmonella vectors?

The fur gene (ferric uptake regulator) plays a multifaceted role in balancing attenuation and immunogenicity:

AspectFur FunctionImpact on Vaccine Vector
Iron homeostasisRegulates iron acquisition genes
Controls iron storage
Affects bacterial growth in iron-limited host environments
Acid tolerance"Fur mutants are acid sensitive"
"Altered expression of acid shock proteins"
Reduces survival during gastrointestinal passage while allowing sufficient colonization
Stress responsesCoordinates responses to oxidative stress
Influences resistance to host defenses
Increases susceptibility to host clearance mechanisms
Virulence regulationModulates expression of virulence factors
Affects pathogenicity island expression
Attenuates virulence while preserving immunogenicity
Regulated attenuation"ΔPfur88::TT araC PBAD fur"
Arabinose-dependent expression
Allows controlled attenuation after vaccination

The research demonstrated that applying this fur-based system to S. Choleraesuis (strain rSC0012) provided "another way to improve the S. Choleraesuis vector" specifically to address reactogenicity issues while maintaining sufficient immunogenicity .

  • What methodologies are used to evaluate tissue distribution and persistence of recombinant Salmonella vaccines?

Rigorous assessment of vaccine vector distribution requires systematic methodological approaches:

Methodology ComponentExperimental DetailsPurpose
Animal model selection"Three-week-old female BALB/c mice"
"Mice were divided into 7 groups with 25 mice in each group"
Standardized model for reproducible results
Administration protocol"Each mouse was orally inoculated with 1 ± 0.2 × 10^9 CFU"
Defined growth conditions and preparation
Consistent dosing for comparative analysis
Tissue sampling strategy"Peyer's patches, spleen, and liver"
Collection "on days 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 post-inoculated"
Comprehensive assessment of mucosal and systemic distribution
Bacterial enumerationTissue homogenization and dilution plating
Colony counting on selective media
Quantitative assessment of bacterial burden in tissues
Statistical analysis"The assay was performed twice, and the data were similar and pooled for analysis" Robust evaluation through experimental replication
Correlation with immunityParallel immune parameter analysis
"50 μL of whole blood was collected by tail vein"
Linking distribution patterns with immune response development

These methodologies collectively provide a comprehensive picture of how recombinant Salmonella vaccines distribute throughout host tissues, how long they persist, and how this correlates with protective immunity development.
