pcDNA3.1-rpfB, pcDNA3.1-rpfD

The candidate vaccine we are developing is a recombinant plasmid DNA vaccine. Two genes from the rpfs family, namely rpfB and rpfD, were inserted full-length into the pcDNA3.1 plasmid along with the Kozak sequence, resulting in recombinant plasmids pcDNA3.1-rpfB and pcDNA3.1-rpfD. The vaccination method used on test animals is intramuscular injection of the recombinant plasmid…

BCG-STING

BCG-STING is a recombinant BCG strain that overexpresses the small molecule STING agonist cyclic di-AMP. For prevention of Mtb proliferation BCG-STING is more potent than standard BCG in mouse, guinea pig, and NHP models, and it is also safer than BCG-WT in mouse models. BCG-STING can be produced by fermentation, overcoming current BCG production limitations.

TBvac-1, TBvac-2, TBvac-10

TBvac-1, TBvac-2, and TBvac-10 use a recombinant tri-segmented Pichinde virus (PICV) vector (rP18tri) to express M. tuberculosis antigens. TBvac-1 and TBvac-2 encode Ag85B, EsxA/ESAT-6, and EsxH/TB10.4, with antigen locations swapped between S1 and S2 segments. TBvac-10 encodes Ag85B, EsxH/TB10.4, RpfA, and Rv1733c. Vaccine stocks are produced in BHK-21 cells from plaque purified virus.
