摘要

Tuberculosis is the deadliest infectious disease in the world. The variable efficacy of the current treatments highlights the need for more effective agents against this disease. In the past few years, we focused on the investigation of antigenic glycoconjugates starting from recombinant Ag85B (rAg85B), a potent protein antigen from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this paper, structural modifications were rationally designed in order to obtain a rAg85B variant protein able to maintain its immunogenicity after glycosylation. Lysine residues involved in the main T-epitope sequences (namely, K30 and K282) have been substituted with arginine to prevent their glycosylation by a lysine-specific reactive linker. The effectiveness of the mutation strategy and the detailed structure of resulting neo-glycoconjugates have been studied by intact mass spectrometry, followed by peptide and glycopeptide mapping. The effect of K30R and K282R mutations on the T-cell activity of rAg85B has also been investigated with a preliminary immunological evaluation performed by enzyme-linked immunospotting on the different variant proteins and their glycosylation products. After glycosylation, the two variant proteins with an arginine in position 30 completely retain the original T-cell activity, thus representing adequate antigenic carriers for the development of efficient glycoconjugate vaccines against tuberculosis.
