In this study we applied serological proteome analysis (Klade, C. S. et al. Proteomics 2001, 1, 890-898) for identification of bacterial vaccine candidate antigens. First, approximately one hundred sera from healthy individuals and patients suffering from Staphylococcus aureus infections were screened for antibodies against staphylococcal lysates and recombinant proteins representing surface antigens. Two pools (healthy donors, patients) each consisting of five sera with the highest antiproteinaceous IgG reactivity were selected. Second, S. aureus COL was grown under different conditions and the number of antigens expressed was monitored by Western blot analysis. Third, surface proteins were enriched by digesting the bacterial cell wall under isotonic conditions and subsequent removal of protoplasts. These protein preparations were resolved by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) (pI 4-7). 2-DE immunoblotting using the preselected serum pools at 1:10 000-1:100 000 dilutions revealed a number of highly immunogenic staphylococcal proteins. Twenty-one spots were isolated by preparative 2-DE, and analysed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry sequencing of tryptic peptides. This led to the identification of 15 proteins including known and novel vaccine candidates. Seroreactivity of several antigens including serine-aspartate repeat containing protein D, immuno-dominant staphylococcal antigen and a novel 309 amino acid lipoprotein was independently confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot analysis of purified recombinant proteins. In conclusion, serological proteome analysis proved to be a powerful tool for the identification of novel staphylococcal antigens, which provide a basis for rational vaccine design.
