Recombinant Lactococcus Lactis Displaying Omp31 Antigen of Brucella melitensis Can Induce an Immunogenic Response in BALB/c Mice.
Article in Probiotics and antimicrobial proteins, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Since Brucella infection mostly occurs through the mucosal surfaces, immune response induced by vaccine that is delivered by a way of mucosal route can be drastically enhanced to control the brucellosis. Omp31is the major outer membrane protein of Brucella, and is considered as a protective antigen against Brucella infection. Accordingly, Lactococcus lactis has been used as an antigen-delivering vector to develop a vaccine-induced mucosal response for having a safer vaccination against brucellosis. A designed omp31 gene fused to the usp45 signal peptide and M6 cell wall anchor was sub cloned in the pNZ7021 expression vector, and a recombinant L. lactis displaying Omp31 was constructed. Omp31 protein expression was confirmed using Western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis. Animals were orally and intraperitoneally immunized with live or killed L. lactis expressing Omp31, respectively. The humoral and cellular immune responses were evaluated by measuring the specific cytokines and antibodies. sIgA, serum IgA, IgM, and total IgG antibodies significantly increased in the mice immunized with live recombinant L. lactis expressing Omp31 and also serum IgM, and total IgG antibodies significantly increased in mice immunized with killed recombinant L. lactis expressing Omp31. Among IgG subtypes, IgG2a response was significantly higher in both groups compared to IgG1. In mice groups immunized with recombinant L. lactis, the IFN-γ and IL-10 level elevated; however, there was no change in the level of IL-4. These results indicated that recombinants L. lactis induce both humoral and cellular immune responses in mice, and also vaccines based on L. lactis-derived live carriers are promising interventions against Brucella melitensis infections.
