项目摘要

Typhoid and Non-Typhoidal Salmonellosis (NTS) are systemic diseases that annually cause 1 million global deaths. Given the impact of these infections on infants, the elderly, and immune suppressed individudals, a safe and effective sub-unit vaccine could have an enormous impact on this disease. While significant gains have been made in identifying the Salmonella target antigens recognized by systemic immune responses, we still know almost nothing about the target antigens recognized by tissue resident lymphocytes, a population that we now know is critical for the protective efficacy of live Salmonella vaccines. This application will focus on protective tissue resident memory (TRM) Th1 cells elicited by a protective live Salmonella vaccine and identify protective target antigens recognized by these cells. Our experimental approach is unique in that it will use natural water contamination challenge, a mouse model where CD4 TRM Th1 cells actively participate in protective immunity, and a set of tools that allow direct visualization of Salmonella-specific CD4 T cells. Our application specifically proposes to, (i) determine the role of tissue-resident memory T cells in the elimination of persistent Salmonella, (ii) uncover the unique TRM T cell receptors that allow greater protection against Salmonella infection, and (iii) identify the antigens recognized by this T cell subset and determine whether they can improve the effectiveness of a sub-unit vaccine for Salmonella.

伤寒和非细肾脏沙门氏菌病（NTS）是全身性疾病，每年引起100万个全球死亡人数。鉴于这些感染对婴儿的影响，老年人和免疫受到了个体抑制，安全有效的亚单位疫苗可能会对这种疾病产生巨大影响。虽然很大已经在确定全身免疫反应识别的沙门氏菌靶抗原方面做出了对于组织常驻淋巴细胞识别的靶抗原几乎一无所知我们现在知道这对于活沙门氏菌疫苗的保护功效至关重要。该应用程序将重点放在保护性组织记忆（TRM）TH1细胞通过保护性活沙门氏菌疫苗引起并识别这些细胞识别的保护靶抗原。我们的实验方法是独一无二的天然水污染挑战，一种小鼠模型，其中CD4 TRM TH1细胞积极参与保护性免疫力以及一组可以直接可视化沙门氏菌特异性CD4 T细胞的工具。我们的应用专门提出，（i）确定组织驻留记忆T细胞在消除消除中的作用持续的沙门氏菌，（ii）发现允许更大保护的独特TRM T细胞受体沙门氏菌感染，（iii）识别该T细胞子群识别的抗原，并确定它们是否可以提高亚单位疫苗对沙门氏菌的有效性。
