Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure generally relates to genetic engineering of bacteria. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to genetic engineering of Gram-negative bacteria expressing different species of lipid A on their surface. In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides for an engineered strain of E. coli according to Table 1. In another embodiment, the present disclosure provides for a lipopolysaccharide purified from an engineered strain of E. coli according to Table 1.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated engineered strain of E. coli comprising deletions of lpxT, eptA and pagP genes, said E. coli comprising immunologically active lipid A on its surface. 2. The isolated engineered strain of claim 1 further comprising deletions of the Kan R cassette and lpxM gene. 3. The isolated engineered strain of claim 1 further comprising at least one expression vector that comprises at least one gene encoding a l…
