ABSTRACT
As the major outer membrane protein (OMP) presents in the Pasteurella multocida envelope, OmpH was frequently expressed for laboratory assessments of its immunogenicity against P. multocida infections, but the results are not good. In this study, we modified OmpH with dendritic cell targeting peptide (Depeps) and/or Salmonella FliCd flagellin, and expressed three types of recombinant proteins with the MBP tag (rDepeps-FliC-OmpH-MBP, rDepeps-OmpH-MBP, rFliC-OmpH-MBP). Assessments in mouse models revealed that vaccination with rDepeps-FliC-OmpH-MBP, rDepeps-OmpH-MBP, or rFliC-OmpH-MBP induced significant higher level of antibodies as well as IFN-γ and IL-4 in murine sera than vaccination with rOmpH-MBP (P < 0.5). Vaccination with the three modified proteins also provided increased protection (rDepeps-FliC-OmpH-MBP, 70 %; rDepeps-OmpH-MBP, 50 %; rFliC-OmpH-MBP, 60 %) against P. multocida serotype D compared to vaccination with rOmpH-MBP (30 %). In mice vaccinated with different types of modified OmpHs, a significantly decreased bacterial strains were recovered from bloods, lungs, and spleens compared to rOmpH-MBP-vaccinated mice (P < 0.5). Notably, our assessments also demonstrated that vaccination with rDepeps-FliC-OmpH-MBP provided good protection against infections caused by a heterogeneous group of P. multocida serotypes (A, B, D). Our above findings indicate that modification with DCpep and Salmonella flagellin could be used as a promising strategy to improve vaccine effectiveness.
