Résumé

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease that creates a heavy medical burden worldwide. The only approved vaccine, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), cannot fully protect adolescents and adults from TB. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an effective new vaccine. Previous studies have found that dodecin, a flavin-binding protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), can form stable dodecamers and has the potential to improve the immunogenicity of Mtb antigens. In this study, we constructed the fusion protein dodecin-ESAT-6 and evaluated the immunogenicity of dodecin, ESAT-6, and dodecin-ESAT-6 separately. Our results showed that dodecin-ESAT-6 is a dodecameric protein that can withstand heat at 95 °C and under SDS-PAGE conditions. Dodecin-ESAT-6 increased the expression of the costimulatory molecules CD80, CD86, and major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) on the surface of RAW264.7 macrophages. Mice immunized with dodecin-ESAT-6 exhibited higher percentages of antigen-specific CD4
