The A/swan/Poland/305-135V08/2006 (H5N1-subtype) hemagglutinin (HA) gene was cloned and expressed in yeast Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris). The HA cDNA lacking the C-terminal transmembrane anchor-coding sequence was fused to an α-factor leader peptide and placed under control of the methanol-inducible P. pastoris alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promoter. Two P. pastoris strains: SMD 1168 and KM 71 were used for protein expression. Recombinant HA protein was secreted into the culture medium reaching an approximately 15 mg/L (KM 71 strain). Fusion protein with a His6 tag was purified to homogeneity in one step affinity chromatography. SDS-PAGE and MS/MS analysis indicated that the protein is cleaved into HA1 and HA2 domains linked by a disulfide bond. Analysis of the N-linked glycans revealed that the overexpressed HA is fully glycosylated at the same sites as the native HA in the vaccine strain. Immunological activity of the hemagglutinin protein was tested in mice, where rHA elicited a high immune response.

Gram-positive and nonpathogenic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are considered to be promising candidates for the development of new, safe systems of heterologous protein expression. Recombinant LAB has been shown to induce specific local and systemic immune response against selected pathogens, and could be a good alternative to classical attenuated carriers. The main goal of our study was to express the avian influenza haemagglutinin (H5) and chicken interleukin 2 (chIL-2) in Lactococcus lactis. Results of this study were anticipated to lead to construction of lactococcal strain(s) with potential vaccine properties against the avian influenza A (H5N1) virus. Expression of the cloned H5 gene, its His-tagged variant and chIL-2 gene, under the control of the ptcB gene promoter was attested by RT-PCR on transcriptional level and Western or dot blot analysis on translational level, demonstrating that system can be an attractive solution for production of heterologous proteins. The results of the preliminary animal trial conducted in mice are a promising step toward development of a vaccine against avian bird flu using Lactococcus lactis cells as antigen carriers.
