Spore-FP1
Spore-FP1 is a subunit vaccine candidate consisting of inactivated Bacillus subtilis spores coated with the FP1 fusion protein and formulated with Poly(I:C) adjuvant. FP1 fusion protein comprises Ag85B, Acr/HspX and the N-terminal domain of HBHA antigen. It is intended as a mucosal boost vaccine in BCG-immunised hosts.

The parental candidate is an isogenic mutant in Mtb CDC1551 gene Rv3223c (sigH). We have now generated multiple Mtb double and triple knock-out (DKO, TKO) strains including: DsigHDsecA2DsodA, DsigHDfbpADsapM, DsigHDleuCDpanCD, DsigHDmetA, DsigHDmce4EDmce4F, DsigHDfadD29, DsigHDhadC, DsigHDRv3683, DsigHDmce1A, DsigHDcobM.

Parental BCG efficacy is mainly hampered by its low induction of apoptosis along with high secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10. We found that the host transcription factor FOXO3 mediates both, BCG-induced apoptosis and inhibition of IL-10 secretion. The novel vaccination procedure consists of induction of FOXO3 activity, during BCG vaccination, using an anti-cancer drug,…
