Unlike the native protein, a nontoxic peptide (repeating unit of the native toxin designated rARU) fromClostridium difficiletoxin A (CDTA) afforded an antigen that could be bound covalently to the surface polysaccharides of pneumococcus type 14,Shigella flexneritype 2a, andEscherichia coliK1. The yields of these polysaccharide-protein conjugates were significantly increased by prior treatment of rARU with succinic anhydride. Conjugates, prepared with rARU or succinylated (rARUsucc), were administered to mice by a clinically relevant dosage and immunization scheme. All conjugates elicited high levels of serum immunoglobulin G both to the polysaccharides and to CDTA. Conjugate-induced anti-CDTA had neutralizing activity in vitro and protected mice challenged with CDTA, similar to the rARU alone. Conjugates prepared with succinylated rARU, therefore, have potential for serving both as effective carrier proteins for polysaccharides and for preventing enteric disease caused byC. difficile.
