Abstract
In this study we examined the potential of integrated PilQ/PilA (QA) antigen as a vaccine candidate against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Nowadays, anti-adhesion based vaccines are considered as new means to prevent or treat bacterial infections. Our study revealed that chimeric protein PilQ and disulphide turn region of PilA triggers production of specific antibodies. This humoral immune responses augmented when QA was administered in combination with an adjuvant. The results demonstrated efficacy of the designed recombinant chimeric antigen as an effective candidate in prevention of P. aeruginosa infection.
