Salmonella Typhimurium derived OMV nanoparticle displaying mixed heterologous O-antigens confers immunogenicity and protection against STEC infections in mice by Xiaoping Bian, Yaolin Chen, Wenjin Zhang, Xinyu Liu, Meihong Lei, Haoxiang Yuan, Mengru Li, Qing Liu, Qingke Kong

“…Typhimurium OMV (STmOMV), which displays mixed heterologous O-antigens, was systematically investigated in mice for immunogenicity and the ability to prevent wild-type STEC infection. Animal experiments demonstrated that STmOMV displaying both E. coli O111 and O157 O-antigens by intraperitoneal injection not only induced robust humoral immunity but also provided effective protection against wild-type E. coli O111 and O157 infection in mice, as well as long-lasting immunity. …”
