In proof-of-concept studies, we previously showed that when a fusion protein comprised of the Vibrio cholerae biofilm matrix protein RbmA and the B subunit of cholera toxin (R-CTB) is expressed from a plasmid within V. cholerae, R-CTB is sequestered in the biofilm matrix, leading to decoration of the cell surface.

To improve the immune response to diarrheal antigens presented by this platform, we have engineered our live attenuated vaccine to express the mucosal adjuvant mmCT (i.e., multiply mutated CT). Here we report that delivery of this adjuvant via sublingual administration of our vaccine enhances the mucosal immune response to V. cholerae LPS and elicits a systemic and mucosal immune response to CTB.
