A growing body of evidence supports the notion that gut microbiome plays an important role in cancer immunity. However, underpinning mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. One attractive hypothesis envisages among T cells elicited by plethora proteins a few exist incidentally recognize neo-epitopes arising from mutations ("molecular mimicry (MM)" hypothesis). To support MM, human probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle was engineered with SIINFEKL epitope (OVA-E.coli Nissle) and orally...

Abstract The gut microbiome plays a key role in cancer immunity. One proposed mechanism is through the elicitation of T cells, which incidentally recognize neo-epitopes arising from mutations (“molecular mimicry (MM)” hypothesis). To support MM, Escherichia coli Nissle was engineered with SIINFEKL epitope (OVA) and orally administered to C57BL/6 mice. treatment elicited OVA-specific CD8 + cells lamina propria inhibited growth OVA-B16F10 tumors. Importantly, administration Outer Membrane...
