ABSTRACT
The bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei is the cause of melioidosis infectious disease. In this bacterium, the BLF1 protein wide inhibits the synthesis of proteins in human cells. This disease is reported to cause a death rate of 40% in some parts of the world. Currently, no effective vaccine is available against this bacterial infection. In this study, therefore, a Nano vaccine was synthesized based on the trimethyl chitosan (TMC) polymer containing the BLF1 recombinant protein, and its immunogenicity and protection in Syrian mice were evaluated by oral and subcutaneous injections. The BLF1 recombinant protein expression was induced in Escherichia coli Bl21 (DE3) and purified by the affinity chromatography technique. Recombinant protein-containing nanoparticles (NPs) were then synthesized by the ionotropic gelation method. After oral and subcutaneous injections, antibody titration was assessed by the indirect ELISA assay. Finally, murine groups were challenged using the BLF1 toxin. The results indicated that the immune system showed more antibody titration in subcutaneous injection than in the oral form. However, the results were reversed in the challenge results, and the survival rate was more significant in the oral injection.
