To address this, we isolated monoclonal antibodies against candidate vaccine antigens using samples from a outbreak in a nonhuman primate (NHP) research facility. We found that antibodies targeting the O-antigen can undergo substantial affinity maturation (>10%) to acquire broad cross-reactivity across serotypes. We also found that the virulence-associated type III secretion system (T3SS) proteins IpaD and IpaB elicit moderate T cell and robust antibody responses. T3SS antibodies could either inhibit or enhance bacterial virulence in vitro and differed in vivo depending on their epitope specificity. Collectively, these findings provide insights into protective and deleterious immune responses against that directly inform vaccine immunogen design. |
