Vaccine Information
  • Type: Subunit vaccine
  • Status: Research
  • Host Species for Licensed Use: Mouse
  • Antigen: E. coli FimH (Langermann et al., 1997)
  • FimH from E. coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655 gene engineering:
    • Type: Recombinant protein preparation
    • Detailed Gene Information: Click Here.
  • Immunization Route: Intramuscular injection (i.m.)
Host Response

Baboon Response

  • Vaccination Protocol: C3H mice were immunized with the various FimH vaccines and challenged with the NU14 clinical isolate 9 weeks after the primary immunization.
  • Challenge Protocol: Intraurethral inoculation of C3H mice with 5 × 10^7 type 1–piliated E. coli (strain NU14) resulted in a highly reproducible colonization of the mouse bladder (Langermann et al., 1997). Piliated bacteria persisted in the bladder for at least 7 days [10^4 colony-forming units (CFU)/bladder] and produced ascending infection into the kidney.
  • Efficacy: Vaccinated animals exhibited a 100- to 1000-fold reduction in the number of organisms recovered from the bladders as compared with adjuvant- or FimC-immunized controls (Langermann et al., 1997).
