The outer membrane protein F (porin) from the PAO1 strain of P. aeruginosa was purified by 2 methods. One procedure involved separation by column chromatography of proteins extracted from isolated outer membranes; the other involved extraction from gels after slab polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins extracted from cell envelopes. Both procedures yielded protein F preparations which successfully immunized mice from subsequent challenge with the PAO1 strain. The protein F preparations contained small quantities of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This level of LPS contamination protected immunized mice from challenge with the homologous LPS serotype strain. Immunization of mice with protein F preparations from the PAO1 strain also afforded protection against challenge with 2 different LPS serotype strains. This protective ability was lost when the protein F preparation was treated with papain before use as a vaccine. Evidently, protein F has protective ability, which is not due to LPS contamination, when given as a vaccine. After immunization with the protein F preparation, mice showed an increase in antibody titer to the purified protein F preparation by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Mice were protected passively by administration of rabbit antisera raised to the protein F preparation. The protein F preparation elicits a specific humoral antibody response in immunized animals. Purified protein F may have potential as an effective vaccine for P. aeruginosa.
