Vaccine Comparison

M. tuberculosis phoP mutant SO2
Vaccine Information
  • Tradename: M. tuberculosis phoP mutant strain
  • Vaccine Ontology ID: VO_0000588
  • Type: Live attenuated vaccine
  • PhoP gene engineering:
    • Type: Gene mutation
    • Description: The mutant strain was constructed by a single gene (phoP) disruption of the parental M. tuberculosis MT103 strain. PhoP has shown involvement in the regulation of complex mycobacterial lipids implicated in the virulence of M. tuberculosis (Martin et al., 2006).
    • Detailed Gene Information: Click Here.
  • Preparation: Rabbits were treated with four doses of phoP prior to isolating polyclonal antibodies against phoP. Anti-phoP and monoclonal antibodies against ESAT-6 were obtained. Horseradish peroxidase-labelled goat anti-rabbit antibodies served as secondary antibodies (Martin et al., 2006). Mycobacterial cell-free protein extracts from M. tuberculosis were prepared, filtered, and precipitated with 45% (w/v) ammonium sulphate (Martin et al., 2006).
  • Description: The phoP transcription factor is part of the two-component regulatory signal transduction system component which recently was linked to regulation of complex mycobacterial lipids implicated in the virulence of M. tuberculosis, as well as to multidrug resistance occurrences in a clinical isolate (Martin et al., 2006; Perez et al., 2001) established the selection of phoP as a vaccine candidate by showing that the mutant SO2 strain shows impaired multiplication within cultured macrophages and in vivo infection models (Martin et al., 2006).

M. tuberculosis secA2 mutant
Vaccine Information
  • Vaccine Ontology ID: VO_0000564
  • Type: Live, attenuated vaccine
  • SecA2 gene engineering:
    • Type: secA2 transformation into M. tuberculosis
    • Description: The secA2 gene was amplified by PCR from virulent H37Rv genomic DNA, cloned into a pGEM vector, and later excised as a fragment and cloned into pMV361 (Hinchey et al., 2007).
    • Detailed Gene Information: Click Here.
  • Preparation: Three virulent strains (M. tuberculosis H37Rv, HN878, and ΔsecA2 mutants) were obtained and grown on Middlebrook 7H9 broth or 7H10 agar containing 10% (vol/vol) oleic acid-albumin-dextrose-catalase, 0.5% glycerol, and 0.05% (vol/vol) Tween-80. Recombinant strains were selected using ampicillin, hygromycin, and kanamycin.
  • Description: The secA2 gene encodes a component of a virulence-associated bacterial protein secretion system and is required for prevention of apoptosis in macrophages infected with M. tuberculosis. The apoptotic response is related to secA2-dependent secretion of mycobacterial superoxide dismutase A (SodA). M. tuberculosis H37Rv with deleted secA2 induces apoptosis, as indicated by TUNEL and polycaspase activation in mouse and human macrophages (Hinchey et al., 2007). Extrinsic and intrinsic caspase pathways were linked to initiation of apoptosis in the secA2-deleted mutants via caspase 8 and 9 activity. The secretion of SodA appears to be important for the inhibition of apoptosis by secA2-dependent mechanisms. Furthermore,
