This study was designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of two VP1 chimeric antigens of bacterial ghosts. Inoculation of the two VP1 chimeric antigens of bacterial ghosts into BALB/c mice markedly elicited humoral and mucosal immune responses. The specific antibodies induced by the chimeric ghosts protected mice not only against the virus that causes hand-foot-and-mouth disease but also against E. coli O157:H7 bacterial infection. In comparison with the negative control, immunization with the chimeric ghosts protected mice against two LD50 hand-foot-and-mouth disease viral infection. In addition, this specific immunity also protected the pups of pregnant mice immunized with the VP1 chimeric antigens of bacterial ghosts against 20 MLD E. coli O157:H7 infection. Taken together, the results of this study verify for the first time that the VP1 chimeric antigens of bacterial ghosts are target candidates for a new type of vaccine against hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Additionally, this vaccine strategy also elicited a stronger immune response against E. coli O157:H7.
