1. Vacinas recombinantes contra erisipela suína: desenvolvimento integrado de bioprocesso, da biologia molecular ao biorreator
A erisipela suína é uma das enfermidades que causam grandes prejuízos na suinocultura em todo o mundo. A doença é causada pela bactéria Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, e a proteína de superfície SpaA desse microrganismo é um de seus principais antígenos. Neste trabalho, estudou-se o desenvolvimento de vacinas recombinantes contra a erisipela suína a

2. Adaptation of the Endogenous Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi clyA-Encoded Hemolysin for Antigen Export Enhances the Immunogenicity of Anthrax Protective Antigen Domain 4 Expressed by the Attenuated Live-Vector Vaccine Strain CVD 908-htrA
Bacterial live-vector vaccines aim to deliver foreign antigens to the immune system and induce protective immune responses, and surface-expressed or secreted antigens are generally more immunogenic than cytoplasmic constructs. We hypothesize that an optimum expression system will use an endogenous export system to avoid the need for large amounts of heterolo

3. Optimization of Plasmid Maintenance in the Attenuated Live Vector Vaccine Strain Salmonella typhi CVD 908-htrA†
The broad objective of the research presented here is to develop a noncatalytic plasmid maintenance system for the stabilization of multicopy expression plasmids encoding foreign antigens in a Salmonella typhi live-vector vaccine strain such as CVD 908-htrA. We have enhanced the maintenance of expression plasmids at two independent levels. First, we removed

4. Genetic Characterization and Immunogenicity of Coli Surface Antigen 4 from Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli when It Is Expressed in a Shigella Live-Vector Strain
The genes that encode the enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) CS4 fimbriae, csaA, -B, -C, -E, and -D′, were isolated from strain E11881A. The csa operon encodes a 17-kDa major fimbrial subunit (CsaB), a 40-kDa tip-associated protein (CsaE), a 27-kDa chaperone-like protein (CsaA), a 97-kDa usher-like protein (CsaC), and a deleted regulatory protein (Csa

5. Listeria monocytogenes-Based Antibiotic Resistance Gene-Free Antigen Delivery System Applicable to Other Bacterial Vectors and DNA Vaccines
Plasmids represent a powerful tool to rapidly introduce genes into bacteria and help them reach high expression levels. In vaccine development, with live vaccine vectors, this allows greater flexibility and the ability to induce larger antigen amounts through multiple gene copies. However, plasmid retention often requires antibiotic resistance markers, the p

6. Long-term stability of large insert genomic DNA episomal shuttle vectors in human cells.
We have constructed an episomal shuttle vector which can transfer large (>100 kb) human genomic DNA inserts back and forth between bacteria and human cells and which can be tracked in rapidly dividing human cells using a live cell assay. The vector (p5170) is based on the F factor-derived bacterial artificial chromosome cloning vector used in Escherichia col

7. An efficient and flexible system for construction of adenovirus vectors with insertions or deletions in early regions 1 and 3.
Human adenoviruses (Ads) are attracting considerable attention because of their potential utility for gene transfer and gene therapy, for development of live viral vectored vaccines, and for protein expression in mammalian cells. Engineering Ad vectors for these applications requires a variety of reagents in the form of Ads and bacterial plasmids containing

8. A novel fluorescence-based system for assaying and separating live cells according to VDJ recombinase activity.
We describe two retroviral vector-based recombination substrate systems designed to assay for lymphoid VDJ recombinase activity in cultured cells. Both substrates incorporate a constitutive dominant marker gene (the simian virus promoter-driven neo gene) to allow selection of cells that stably integrate the substrate. Both substrates also include a second ma

9. A Recombinant Live Attenuated Strain of Vibrio cholerae Induces Immunity against Tetanus Toxin and Bordetella pertussis Tracheal Colonization Factor
An attenuated strain of Vibrio cholerae was used as a carrier for the expression of heterologous antigens such as fragment C from tetanus toxin (TetC) and tracheal colonization factor from Bordetella pertussis (Tcf). In vitro, high levels of protein were obtained when the Escherichia coli nirB promoter was used and the bacteria were grown with low aeration.

10. Expression of an antisense hla fragment in Staphylococcus aureus reduces alpha-toxin production in vitro and attenuates lethal activity in a murine model.
Isogeneic bacterial strains that differ only in the production of a single microbial factor have been invaluable in studying the pathogenesis of bacterial infections. The targeted, intentional inactivation of a gene encoding a potential virulence determinant generally requires homologous recombination to replace the gene with an inactivated allele. To determ

11. Enteral Immunization with Attenuated Recombinant Listeria monocytogenes as a Live Vaccine Vector: Organ-Dependent Dynamics of CD4 T Lymphocytes Reactive to a Leishmania major Tracer Epitope
Listeria monocytogenes is considered as a potential live bacterial vector, particularly for the induction of CD8 T cells. The CD4 T-cell immune response triggered after enteral immunization of mice has not yet been thoroughly characterized. The dynamics of gamma interferon (IFN-γ)- and interleukin-4 (IL-4)-secreting CD4 T cells were analyzed after priming t

12. Molecular Characterization of the Aeromonas hydrophila aroA Gene and Potential Use of an Auxotrophic aroA Mutant as a Live Attenuated Vaccine
The aroA gene of Aeromonas hydrophila SO2/2, encoding 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase, was cloned by complementation of the aroA mutation in Escherichia coli K-12 strain AB2829, and the nucleotide sequence was determined. The nucleotide sequence of the A. hydrophila aroA gene encoded a protein of 440 amino acids which showed a high degree of homo
