Abstract

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are spherical bilayered phospholipids of 20-200 nm in size produced from all Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria investigated to date. OMVs, which resemble the outer membrane and periplasm in composition, are proinflammatory and immunogenic facsimiles, and therefore could activate both innate and adaptive immunity. Here, we describe the OMVs immunization protocol and bacteria challenge protocol to induce bacterial sepsis in mice.
