Immunogenic compositions containing bacterial outer membrane vesicles
Abstract:
This invention relates to outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from Gram-negative bacteria. The vesicles comprise heterologous proteins or immunogenic fragments thereof expressed as lipoproteins in their membrane. The OMVs of the invention are capable of eliciting an immune response to the heterologous protein or to a fragment thereof when administered to a mammal. Other aspects of the invention relate to methods of preparing the OMVs and immunogenic compositions containing the same.
