Tumor antigen attached outer membrance vessicle(OMV-ClyA)

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) naturally secreted by E coli can work as delivery vehicles to carry display antigenic proteins on their surfaces and across intestinal epithelial barrier to where they can activate immune cells.


Tumor antigen attached outer membrance vesicle(OMV)

The design of the outer membrane vesicle (OMV) protein outlined in figure 1 contains three major structural domains: vesicle surface protein C terminus domain ClyA, cancer cell antigen Adpgk domain, and mouse IgG Fc fragment for the purpose of immune-enhancing and presenting antigen.

Design of OMV protein producing part

The fusion protein include a HA (hemagglutinin) tag for Western Blotting and, an enhanced GPR reporter gene. The design of the redesigned plasmid is shown in figure 2.

E.coli BL21 DE3 were transformed with the redesigned pET28b vector and transformants were induced with 0mM - 2mM IPTG and screened for GFP expression.

Detection of OMV through eGFP (model result)

After induction at 37℃ for 4h a significant fluorescence signal was detected and is show in figure 5. The optimum IPTG concentration for expression was determined to be in the range of 0.4mM to 0.6mM. Figure 4 displays images of E.coli transformants expression enhance GFP.

Enhanced GFP expression of E.coli under fluorescence microscope

The signal of GFP florescent protein is indicative of OMV protein expression. It was decided to perform a western blot to confirm the weak band noted in figure 3c.

Figure 7 shows the western blot image confirming the whole system was working. More detailed information for this part: https://2022.igem.wiki/sz-shd/engineering
