[PMID: 35326833 PMCID: PMC8944609 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11030370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila) is one of the most threatening nosocomial pathogens. The implementation of novel and more effective surveillance and diagnostic strategies is mandatory to prevent the occurrence of legionellosis outbreaks in hospital environments. On these bases, the present review is aimed to describe the main clinical and molecular features of L. pneumophila focusing attention on the latest findings on drug resistance mechanisms. In addition, a detailed description of the current guidelines for the disinfection and surveillance of the water systems is also provided. Finally, the diagnostic strategies available for the detection of Legionella spp. were critically reviewed, paying the attention to the description of the culture, serological and molecular methods as well as on the novel high-sensitive nucleic acid amplification systems, such as droplet digital PCR.

Abstract
Background Brucella spp. are intracellular pathogens, therefore cell-mediated immunity is the main response to inhibit survival and growth of the bacteria in vertebrate host. Objective Many eukaryotic plasmid vectors are being used in setting up DNA vaccines which may show different efficiencies in same conditions. This is important in designing the vaccines and immunization strategies. We looked into the probable differences of immune responses induced by different eukaryotic DNA plasmid vectors (pcDNA3.1 and pVAX1) harboring the same Omp31 gene of B. melitensis. Materials and Methods Female BALB/c mice were immunized with pcDNA -omp31 and pVAX-omp31 and further boosted with recombinant Omp31. Subclasses of specific serum IgG against the rOmp31 were measured by ELISA. Cytokines responses to rOmp31 in Splenocyte cultures of the immunized mice were evaluated by measuring the production of IL-4, IL-10, IL-12 and IFN-γ. Protective responses of the immunized mice were evaluated by intraperitoneal challenge with pathogenic Brucella melitensis 16M and Brucella ovis PA76250. Results Both DNA vaccine candidates conferred potent Th1-type responses with higher levels of cytokines and immunoglobulins observed in mice immunized with pVAX-omp31. Although pcDNA-omp31 and pVAX-omp31 both elicited protective immunity, mice immunized with the latter showed a higher protection against both B. melitensis and B. ovis PA76250. Conclusion The results of this study highlight the significant differences between efficiency of diverse plasmid backbones in DNA vaccines which code for an identical antigen. Comparing various plasmid vectors should be considered as an essential part of the studies aiming construction of DNA vaccines for intracellular pathogens.

Microb Pathog 2020; 149:104364.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Legionella pneumophila is a Gram-negative intracellular bacterium and the cause of an atypical pneumonia in humans - legionnaire's disease. Immunological assessment of bacterial antigens clarifies the way that host may develop protection against the pathogen. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the main antigen of Gram-negative bacteria but is less studied because of its carbohydrate nature. Here, we immunized mice with detoxified LPS in combination with immunogenic proteins and looked into the result of bacterial challenge. METHODS LPS of L. pneumophila was extracted by hot phenol-water method. Purified LPS was detoxified by sodium hydroxide alkaline procedure. BALB/c mice were immunized mainly with non-covalent combination of detoxified LPS (dLPS) and either of recombinant FlaA or PAL separately. Afterwards, specific serum IgG was assessed by ELISA. Mice were challenged intravenously with sublethal dose of L. pneumpphila then splenocytes were cultured. Cytokine responses of splenocytes were analyzed by ELISA. RESULTS Polysaccharide antigen did not elicit significant serum IgG. Combination of the dLPS with recombinant FlaA and PAL led to risen IgG and its subclasses (IgG1, IgG2a and IgG2b) against polysaccharide. Mice immunized with combination of the dLPS and recombinant proteins showed significant elevation of cytokine responses in splenocyte culture after being challenged with L. pneumophila. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that combination of polysaccharide antigen derived from Legionella LPS may confer raised cell-mediated responses against the pathogen when combined with Th-1 stimulating protein antigens. Although not covalently bond, Legionella detoxified LPS combination with recombinant FlaA and PAL effectively elicited Th-1 type cytokines and humoral responses against L. pneumophila in BALB/c mice.

Abstract
Legionella pneumophila is a Gram-negative intracellular bacterium and causes legionnaire's disease an -atypical pneumonia in humans. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the main antigen of Gram-negative bacteria but is less studied because of its carbohydrate nature. Here, we immunized mice with detoxified LPS and O-antigen polysaccharide in combination with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and explored the immunological responses of mice to the bacterial infection. LPS of L. pneumophila was extracted by hot phenol-water method. Purified LPS was detoxified by sodium hydroxide alkaline procedure. O-polysaccharide antigen (OPS) obtained by acetic acid treatment of LPS. BALB/c mice were immunized mainly with non-covalent combination of detoxified LPS (dLPS) or OPS with BSA separately. Pure polysaccharide antigens did not elicit significant serum IgG against LPS. Combination of the dLPS and OPS with BSA resulted in risen IgG and its subclasses (IgG1 and IgG2a) against lipopolysaccharide. Mice were challenged intravenously with sublethal dose of L. pneumpphila. Then, splenocytes were cultured and cytokine responses of splenocytes to pathogenic Legionella was studied by ELISA. Mice immunized with combination of the dLPS or OPS and BSA showed significant elevation of cytokine responses to pathogenic L. pneumophila. Our results suggest that combination of the polysaccharide antigen derived from Legionella LPS may confer raised cell-mediated responses against the pathogen when combined with a protein antigen which is capable of eliciting cell-mediated responses. Although not covalently bond, Legionella polysaccharides combined with BSA effectively elicited Th-1 type cytokines and humoral responses against L. pneumophila in BALB/c mice.

Induction of protective immunity by recombinant peptidoglycan associated lipoprotein (rPAL) protein of Legionella pneumophila in a BALB/c mouse model. Microb Pathog 2018; 128:100-105.

Abstract
Legionella pneumophila causes a severe form of pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease especially in patients with impaired cellular immune response. In order to prevent the disease, immunogenicity and the level of the induction of protective immunity from the recombinant peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein (rPAL) against Legionella pneumophila in BALB/c mice was examined. Mice immunized with (rPAL) rapidly increased an antibody response in serum and also displayed a strong activation of both innate and adaptive cell-mediated immunity as determined by antigen-specific splenocyte proliferation, an early production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the serum and in the splenocyte cultures. Infection with a primary sublethal does of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1, strain paris, caused resistance to a lethal challenge infection in the animals with 100% survival rate. However, mice treated with rPAL survived with 60% rate in 10 days after a lethal i.v challenge with L. pneumophila. All of the control animals receiving PBS died within 24 h. The present study indicates that recombinant protein PAL of Legionella pneumophila is strongly immunogenic and capable to elicit early innate and adaptive immune responses and lasting immunity against a lethal dose of Legionella pneumophila challenge. Antigenic characterization and immune protection of recombinant protein PAL would be of considerable value in comprehension the immune-pathogenesis of the disease and in development possible vaccine against the Legionella.

The optimized fusion protein HA1-2-FliCΔD2D3 promotes mixed Th1/Th2 immune responses to influenza H7N9 with low induction of systemic proinflammatory cytokines in mice. Antiviral Res 2018; 161:10-19. [PMID: 30389471 DOI: 10.1016/j.antiviral.2018.10.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2018] [Revised: 10/25/2018] [Accepted: 10/29/2018] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
H7N9 influenza virus has an unusually high fatality rate of approximately 40%, and a safe and effective vaccine against this subtype is urgently needed. Flagellin, a Toll-like receptor (TLR) 5 agonist, has been deemed as a potent adjuvant candidate. However, its high antigenicity and potential for causing inflammatory injury might restrict its clinical application. Previously, we demonstrated that a fusion protein, HA1-2-FliC, comprising the hemagglutinin globular head protein (HA1-2) of H7N9 influenza virus and the full-length Salmonella typhimurium flagellin protein (FliC), had high efficiency against H7N9 in mouse and chicken models. Here, we constructed an improved fusion protein, HA1-2-FliCΔD2D3, with HA1-2 fused to the FliCΔD2D3 (lacking the hypervariable-region domains D2 and D3 of FliC). HA1-2-FliCΔD2D3 exhibited efficient immunoreactivity and TLR5 agonist efficacy, and promoted innate immune-response activation in mouse macrophages, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and splenocytes, based on cytokine- and chemokine-expression profiles. Mice immunized with HA1-2-FliCΔD2D3 showed significantly lower systemic inflammatory responses (compared with HA1-2-FliC) and highly reduced flagellin-specific antibody production, without affecting HA1-2-specific antibody production and cellular immune responses. Enhanced IFN-γ/IL-4 generation suggested that HA1-2-FliCΔD2D3 maintained balanced Th1/Th2 immune responses. Furthermore, virus challenge was performed in a chicken model. The results showed that chickens receiving FliCΔD2D3 adjuvant vaccine induced high levels of serum neutralizing antibodies, and exhibited a significant reduction of viral loads in throat and cloaca compared to chickens receiving only HA1-2. In conclusion, we constructed the H7N9 influenza subunit vaccine candidate HA1-2-FliCΔD2D3, with reduced immunogenicity against FliC and lower adverse events. The improved adjuvant FliCΔD2D3 can potentially help in developing safe and effective universal protein-based influenza vaccines for humans.
