Abstract
Moraxella catarrhalis and nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae are important bacterial causes of otitis media in children and respiratory diseases in adults. Lipooligosaccharide (LOS) from M. catarrhalis and outer membrane protein 26 (OMP26) from NTHi are major surface antigens identified as potential vaccine components against these organisms. We previously constructed M. catarrhalis in which LOS is truncated, but contains a structure common to the three known serotypes of M. catarrhalis. OMP26 is known to enhance clearance of NTHi following vaccination in animal models, so was chosen as the carrier protein. In this study, we conjugated wild-type and truncated M. catarrhalis detoxified-LOS to a recombinant modified OMP26, rOMP26VTAL. Vaccination of mice with these conjugates resulted in a significant increase in anti-LOS and anti-rOMP26VTAL IgG levels. Importantly, mouse antisera showed complement-mediated bactericidal activity against all M. catarrhalis serotype A and B strains and a NTHi strain tested. Serotypes A & B make up more than 90% of isolates. These data suggest that the LOS and OMP based conjugate can be used as vaccine components and require further investigation in animal models.
