The study addresses Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), a significant concern in low-income countries. Despite its prevalence, there is no licensed vaccine against ETEC. Bacterial vesicle-based vaccines are promising due to their safety and diverse virulence factors. However, cost-effective production requires enhancing vesicle yield while considering altered properties due to isolation methods. The proposed method involves heat treatment and ultrafiltration to recover vesicles from bacterial cultures. Two vesicle types, collected from heat-treated (HT-OMV) or untreated (NT-OMV) cultures, were compared. Vesicles were isolated via ultrafiltration alone ("complete") or with ultracentrifugation ("sediment"). Preliminary findings suggest complete HT-OMV vesicles are suitable for an ETEC vaccine. They express important proteins (OmpA, OmpX, OmpW) and virulence factors (adhesin TibA). Sized optimally (50-200 nm) for mucosal vaccination, they activate macrophages, inducing marker expression (CD40, MHCII, CD80, CD86) and Th1/Th2 cytokine release (IL-6, MCP-1, TNF-¿, IL12p70, IL-10). This study confirms non-toxicity in RAW 264.7 cells and the in vivo ability of complete HT-OMV to generate significant IgG2a/IgG1 serum antibodies. Results suggest promise for a cost-effective ETEC vaccine, requiring further research on in vivo toxicity, pathogen-specific antibody detection, and protective efficacy.
