项目摘要

Project Summary The principal goal of this project is to develop a VesiVax®-based vaccine against Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng). The studies proposed in this SBIR Phase I application will be focused on co-formulating an newly identified surface-displayed outer membrane Ng protein, MtrE, with various immunostimulatory adjuvant molecules (IAMs) in the VesiVax® liposomal platform. We will characterize the immunogenicity of these VesiVax®-MtrE-IAM formulations in mice, and select for the best candidates to be further evaluated in a novel mouse upper reproductive tract Ng infection model. These studies will elucidate the immunological profile in a vaccine that will correlate with protective immunity against Ng.

项目概要该项目的主要目标是开发基于 VesiVax® 的奈瑟菌疫苗该 SBIR 第一阶段申请中提出的研究将集中于共同制定一种新鉴定的表面展示外膜 Ng 蛋白 MtrE 与各种免疫刺激佐剂 VesiVax® 脂质体平台中的分子 (IAM) 我们将表征这些分子的免疫原性。 VesiVax®-MtrE-IAM 制剂在小鼠中的应用，并选择最佳候选制剂在新型药物中进行进一步评估这些研究将阐明小鼠上生殖道 Ng 感染模型的免疫学特征。与针对 Ng 的保护性免疫相关的疫苗。
