Identification of Protective Antigens for Vaccination against Systemic Salmonellosis

Abstract: There is an urgent medical need for improved vaccines with broad serovar coverage and high efficacy against systemic salmonellosis. Subunit vaccines offer excellent safety profiles but require identification of protective antigens, which remains a challenging task. Here, I review crucial properties of Salmonella antigens that might help to narrow down the number of potential candidates from more than 4000 proteins encoded in Salmonella genomes, to a more manageable number of 50–200 most promising antigens. I a… Show more

“…The microorganism should be recognized by antibodies, e.g., in the gut lumen, to prevent pathogen entry and should be presented by infected cells to promote T cell-mediated elimination. Although precise criteria for the selection of candidate Ags to be included in anti-Salmonella vaccines have to be carefully defined, some key parameters have emerged experimentally (185). Among the many Ags expressed in infected host tissues, surface-associated or secreted ones displaying high levels of expression should be favored.…”

“…Rational vaccine development can be informed by detailed knowledge of antigen targeting in immune individuals (22). Indeed, understanding of antigen targeting in human and murine Salmonella infection has recently improved and sub-unit vaccine development for Salmonella has received greater attention (2328).…”

“…There are 50-200 promising protective antigens amongst the .4000 proteins encoded in Salmonella genomes; suitable protective antigens need to be surface-exposed to enable antibody binding, which substantially narrows down the number of potential candidates (Bumann, 2014). In recent years, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of membrane-anchored flagellin as a mucosal adjuvant, as well as its ability to promote cytokine expression by innate immune cells and trigger the generalized recruitment of T-and B-lymphocytes to secondary lymphoid organs (Mizel & Bates, 2010).…”

“…In sub-Saharan Africa, high-risk hosts of NTS include young children and human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals, and case fatality rates in both groups are~20-25 % (MacLennan & Levine, 2013). As systemic salmonellosis has become increasingly difficult to treat with antibiotics due to rising resistance to fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins, prevention with vaccines is hampered by only moderate levels and limited duration of protection (Bumann, 2014). However, no licensed vaccines against human NTS infections have yet been developed.…”
