Streptococcus gordonii vaccine vector

Vaxvec ID 26
Vaccine Vector Name Streptococcus gordonii vaccine vector
Vector VO ID VO_0001036
Function The M6 protein from Streptococcus pyogenes is surface-localized with specific antigens on the surface of S. gordonii, which then expresses the antigen (Wang et al., 2013).
Advantage As a regular resident of the oral cavity, a live,attenuated. gordonii strain is a good candidate for oral vaccine administration (Wang et al., 2013). Also, S. gordonii has been shown to activate antigen-presenting cells and induce their maturation (Mayer et al., 2009). Compared to Lactococcus lactis, S. gordonii is a superior vaccine vector for intestinal immunization (Lee et al., 2009).
Disadvantage In order to elicit a necessary amount of cytokines, cytokines must be delivered externally because S. gordonii has been shown to be unable to elicit cytokines needed to suppress mucosal tolerance (Mayer et al., 2009)
Description The S. gordonii M6 protein can be used to localize antigens, such as Sj-F1 of Schistosoma japonicum, on the surface of the bacterium, which induces an immune response against that antigen in the host (Wang et al., 2013).
