Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette-Guérin strains secreting listeriolysin of Listeria monocytogenesJ Hess
Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Monbijoustrasse 2, D 10117 Berlin, Germany
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 95:5299-304. 1998..Because CD8 T cells play a major role in protection against tuberculosis such Hly secreting r-BCG constructs are antituberculosis vaccine candidates...
Protection against murine tuberculosis by an attenuated recombinant Salmonella typhimurium vaccine strain that secretes the 30-kDa antigen of Mycobacterium bovis BCGJ Hess
Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Department of Immunology, Monbijoustr 2, D 10117, Berlin, Germany
FEMS Immunol Med Microbiol 27:283-9. 2000..These data suggest that the HlyB/HlyD/TolC-based antigen delivery system with attenuated r-S. typhimurium as carrier is capable of inducing an immune response against mycobacterial antigens...
Secretion of different listeriolysin cognates by recombinant attenuated Salmonella typhimurium: superior efficacy of haemolytic over non-haemolytic constructs after oral vaccinationJ Hess
Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Department of Immunology, D 10117, Berlin, Germany
Microbes Infect 2:1799-806. 2000..Therefore, rSalmonella strains secreting biologically active Hly represent valuable delivery systems for heterologous rAg or DNA which should be exploited for future mucosal vaccination strategies...
Impact of intracellular location of and antigen display by intracellular bacteria: implications for vaccine developmentS H Kaufmann
Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany
Immunol Lett 65:81-4. 1999..Secreted antigen display was found to be superior to somatic antigen display. Hence, we consider antigen secretion a major prerequisite of an effective vaccine against intracellular bacteria...
The need for a novel generation of vaccinesS H Kaufmann
Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany
Immunobiology 201:272-82. 1999..These encompass recombinant vaccine carriers expressing, and naked DNA constructs encoding, heterologous antigens. Both vaccination strategies proved to be protective in the model of experimental listeriosis of mice...
Live antigen carriers as tools for improved anti-tuberculosis vaccinesJ Hess
Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Department of Immunology, Berlin, Germany
FEMS Immunol Med Microbiol 23:165-73. 1999..In addition, we report on our r-Salmonella typhimurium expression system combined with the HlyB/HlyD/ TolC export machinery for delivering the prominent mycobacterial antigen Ag85B for immune recognition...
Development of novel tuberculosis vaccinesJ Hess
Department of Immunology, Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany
C R Acad Sci III 322:953-8. 1999..A rational judgement on the efficacy of the different types of vaccine currently under development needs to await further evaluation...
Contribution of MHC class I-dependent immune mechanisms induced by attenuated recombinant Salmonella typhimurium secreting superoxide dismutase to protection against murine listeriosisL Grode
Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Department of Immunology, Schumannstrasse 21 22, 10117, Berlin, Germany
Vaccine 19:3269-72. 2001..monocytogenes. Our data suggest a role of TAP-dependent mechanisms in priming of protective immunity by rSalmonella micro-organisms secreting SOD...
Immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis: implications for vaccine developmentS H Kaufmann
Department of Immunology, Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Monbijoustr 2, D 10117, Berlin, Germany
J Biotechnol 83:13-7. 2000..Second, the whole bacterial vaccine approach relying on multiple antigens and built-in adjuvanticity. Time will tell which type of vaccine is best suited for eradication of tuberculosis...
Protective efficacy against tuberculosis of ESAT-6 secreted by a live Salmonella typhimurium vaccine carrier strain and expressed by naked DNAH J Mollenkopf
Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Department of Immunology, Schumannstr 21 22, 10117 Berlin, Germany
Vaccine 19:4028-35. 2001..Vaccination with a single dose of r S. typhimurium secreting ESAT-6 reduced numbers of tubercle bacilli in the lungs throughout the course of infection. The combined prime-boost vaccination did not considerably enhance protection...
