Despite numerous efforts to develop an effective vaccine against , no vaccine has yet been approved for human use. This study investigates the utility of the inherently produced polyhydroxyalkanaote (PHA) inclusions and associated host-cell proteins (HCP) as a particulate vaccine platform. We further engineered PHA inclusions to display epitopes derived from the outer membrane proteins OprF/OprI/AlgE (Ag) or the type III secretion system translocator PopB. PHA and engineered PHA beads induced antigen-specific humoral, cell-mediated immune responses, anti-HCP and anti-polysaccharide Psl responses in mice. Antibodies mediated opsonophagocytic killing and serotype-independent protective immunity as shown by 100% ... More
