SUBUNIT VACCINE DELIVERY PLATFORM FOR ROBUST HUMORAL AND CELLULAR IMMUNE RESPONSES

摘要

The present invention relates to a probiotic cell transformed with a construct suitable to overexpress and display on the surface of the probiotic cell a fusion protein comprising at least a portion of a transport protein coupled to at least a portion of one or more antigenic proteins or peptides. Probiotic-derived vesicles displaying this fusion protein as well as methods of inducing an immune response using the probiotic cells or vesicles are also disclosed.
