Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is classified as Tier 1 Select Agent with bioterrorism potential. The efficacy of the only available vaccine, LVS, is uncertain and it is not licensed in the U.S. Previously, by using an approach generally applicable to intracellular pathogens, we identified working correlates that predict successful vaccination in rodents. Here, we applied these correlates to evaluate a panel of SchuS4-derived live attenuated vaccines, namely SchuS4-ΔclpB, ΔclpB-ΔfupA, ΔclpB-ΔcapB, and ΔclpB-ΔwbtC. We combined in vitro co-cultures to quantify rodent T-cell functions and multivariate regression analyses to predict relative vaccine strength. The predictions were tested by rat vaccination and challenge studies, which demonstrated a clear relationship between the hierarchy of in vitro measurements and in vivo vaccine protection. Thus, these studies demonstrated the potential power a panel of correlates to screen and predict the efficacy of Francisella vaccine candidates, and in vivo studies in Fischer 344 rats confirmed that SchuS4-ΔclpB and ΔclpB-ΔcapB may be better vaccine candidates than LVS.
