Abstract: The present embodiments provide for an S. aureus (SA) Multiple Antigen Presenting System (MAPS) immunogenic composition comprising an immunogenic polysaccharide which induces an immune response, where at least one S. aureus (SA) peptide or polypeptide antigen is associated to the immunogenic polysaccharide by complementary affinity molecules. In some embodiments, the immunogenic polysaccharide can be an antigenic capsular polysaccharide of a Type 5 or Type 8 from S. aureus, or alternatively, a different immunogenic capsular or noncapsular polysaccharide, and where the protein or peptide SA antigens are indirectly linked via an affinity binding pair. The present SA-MAPS immunogenic compositions can elicit both humoral and cellular immune responses to the immunogenic polysaccharide and one or multiple SA antigens at the same time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a microorganism for drug delivery, which has been transformed with a gene construct comprising a therapeutically active peptide, which can be delivered safely into the intestines through oral administration, and which can express and secrete the therapeutic peptide in the gastrointestinal tract, and also relates to a pharmaceutical composition for prevention or treatment of gastrointestinal disease, which includes the same. The present invention is directed to a lactic acid bacteria drug delivery system capable of overexpressing and secreting a lactic acid bacteria-derived anticancer protein, which is developed by introducing the anticancer protein into a lactic acid bacteria expression and secretion system. It is expected that the lactic acid bacteria drug delivery system will be widely used as a natural protein therapeutic agent against gastrointestinal disease in the medical field.
