Compositions and Methods for Tumor-Targeted Delivery of Effector Molecules

The present application discloses the preparation and use of attenuated tumor-targeted bacteria vectors for the delivery of one or more primary effector molecule(s) to the site of a solid tumor. The primary effector molecule(s) of the invention is used in the methods of the invention to treat a solid tumor cancer such as a carcinoma, melanoma, lymphoma, or sarcoma. The invention relates to the surprising discovery that effector molecules, which may be toxic when administered systemically to a host, can be delivered locally to tumors by attenuated tumor-targeted bacteria with reduced toxicity to the host. The application also discloses to the delivery of one or more optional effector molecule(s) (termed secondary effector molecules) which may be delivered by the attenuated tumor-targeted bacteria in conjunction with the primary effector molecule(s).

Attenuated bacteria useful in vaccines

InactiveUS20050054075A1Improve protectionReliable and rapid isolationAntibacterial agentsBiocideBacterial strainImmunogenicity
The invention provides strains of bacteria, especially enterotoxigenic E. coli, attenuated by mutations in the genes encoding enterotoxins (LT, ST, EAST1) and optionally further attenuated by deletion of additional chromosomal genes. In addition the invention provides strains of attenuated bacteria expressing immunogenic but non-toxic variants of one or more of these enterotoxins. These bacteria are useful as a vaccine against diarrhoeal disease.

Clostridial toxin netb

The present invention relates to a polypeptide based toxin that originates from Clostridium perfringens. The invention further relates to immunogenic compositions comprising the toxin and methods to vaccinate animals, for example chickens, such that they are less susceptible to clostridial diseases. Methods to determine whether an animal has been exposed to the toxin, polynucleotides encoding the toxin and attenuated bacteria that express a reduced or less active form of the toxin are also disclosed.

Vaccines containing attenuated bacteria

The invention relates to a vaccine comprising a bacterium attenuated by a non-reverting mutation in a gene encoding a protein which promotes folding of extracytoplasmic proteins. Such mutations were initially identified as being useful in vaccines from a bank of randomly inserted, transposon mutants in which attenuation was determined as a reduction in virulence of the organism in the mouse model of infection. Site directed mutation of the gene results in a strain which shows at least 4 logs of attenuation when delivered both orally and intravenously. Animals vaccinated with such a strain are protected against subsequent challenge with the parent wild type strain. Finally, heterologous antigens such as the non-toxic and protective, binding domain from tetanus toxin, fragment C, can be delivered via the mucosal immune system using such strains of bacteria. This results in the induction of a fully protective immune response to subsequent challenge with native tetanus toxin.

Mutagenesis technique

A method for replacing a target nucleotide / polynucleotide sequence of a bacterial chromosome with a different nucleotide / polynucleotide sequence, which method comprises: (a) providing a bacterium which is capable of expressing: (1) the gamma genes exo or a functional equivalent thereof and bet or a functional equivalent thereof, but not the gamma gene gam or a functional equivalent thereof; or (2) the gamma gene bet or a functional equivalent thereof and gam or a functional equivalent thereof; (b) providing a polynucleotide construct which comprises: (i) a sequence which corresponds to a first sequence flanking the left hand side of the target sequence; (ii) a second sequence corresponding to a sequence flanking the right hand side of the target sequence; and (iii) positioned between (i) and (ii), the donor sequence; and (c) introducing the polynucleotide construct into the bacterium, thereby to replace the target nucleotide sequence with the sequence different from that of the target nucleotide sequences. The method can be used in the preparation of attenuated bacteria and in the identification of essential genes.

AHFGDS (aeromonas hydrophila five-gene deletion strain) attenuated bacteria without antibiotic markers and application

The invention discloses AHFGDS (aeromonas hydrophila five-gene deletion strain) attenuated bacteria without antibiotic markers and an application. Based on high-virulent strain ZYAH72, five virulence factors including aerA, alt, ahp, ast and hly are deleted with a genetic engineering method and a marker-free screening strategy, an AHFGDS with five genes deleted is obtained, and the preservation number of the strain is CCTCC (China Center for Type Culture Collection) No:M2015798. Compared with wild bacteria, the strain can still be subjected to a strong reaction with positive serum even if the pathogenicity is remarkably weakened. Experiments prove that the strain serving as an attenuated live vaccine can effectively protect susceptible aquatic animals against infection of wild AHFGDSs.

Attenuation bacteria carrier tuberculosis vaccine carrying tuberculosis, preparation method and application thereof

The invention discloses an attenuated bacteria vector tuberculosis vaccine carrying tuberculosis genes as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation process includes the following steps: firstly, structuring a eukaryotic expression plasmid containing mycobacterium tuberculosis Ag85B and ESAT-6Agb5B genes; and secondly, using the electroporation method to convert the structure eukaryotic expression plasmid into attenuated Salmonella typhimurium which can stably express mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins. The combined utilization of Salmonella typhimurium SL7207 (pVAX-1-ESAT6-Ag85B) and BCG can achieve greater immune protective effect in resisting mycobacterium tuberculosis infection than by the BCG only; and the SIgA level of mucosa and serum produced by the Salmonella typhimurium SL7207 (pVAX-1-ESAT6-Ag85B) and BCG combined is higher than BCG and DNA vaccines. In addition, the Salmonella typhimurium SL7207 (pVAX-1-ESAT6-Ag85B) has greater immune protective ability than DNA vaccines or Salmonella typhimurium SL7207 (pVAX-1-Ag85B). The invention has the advantages of simple method, low cost, and convenient use, and can not only resist Salmonella typhosa infection, but also achieve immune protection against mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Moreover, the stable expression of the mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins after being immunized can induce mucosal and systematic immune responses, and the invention has remarkable economic benefits.

Live attenuated RTX-producing bacteria of family pasteurellaceae

The present invention relates to live attenuated RTX-toxin producing bacteria of the family Pasteurellaceae, of which the attenuation is due to the fact that they produce RTX toxin in a non-activated form. The invention also relates to vaccines for the protection of mammals against infection with RTX-toxin producing bacteria of the family Pasteurellaceae, and to methods for the preparation of said live attenuated bacteria and vaccines.
