Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides modified bacteria and modified peptidoglycan comprising modified D-amino acids; compositions comprising the modified bacteria or peptidoglycan; and methods of using the modified bacteria or peptidoglycan. The modified D-amino acids include a bioorthogonal functional group such as an azide, an alkyne or a norbornene group. Also provided are modified peptidoglycans conjugated to a molecule of interest via a linker.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A modified bacterial cell comprising a modified peptidoglycan, wherein the modified peptidoglycan comprises at least one modified D-amino acid, wherein the at least one modified D-amino acid is an azide-modified, an alkyne-modified, or a norbornene-modified D-amino acid. 2. The modified bacterial cell of claim 1 , wherein the bacterial cell is present intracellularly in a eukaryotic host cell. 3. The modified bacterial cell of claim 2 , wherein the eukaryotic host cell is a macrophage. 4. The modified bacterial cell of claim 1 , wherein the modified D-amino acid is an azide-modified D-amino acid. 5. The modified bacterial cell of claim 1 , wherein the modified D-amino acid is an alkyne-modified D-amino acid. 6. The modified bacterial cell of claim 4 , wherein the modified D-amino acid is a norbornene-modified D-amino acid. 7. A modified bacterial cell comprising a modified peptidoglycan, wherein the modified peptidoglycan comprises at least one modified D-amino acid conjugated to a reagent via a heterocycle, wherein the at least one modified D-amino acid is an azide-modified, an alkyne-modified, or a norbornene-modified D-amino acid, and the reagent is an azide-containing reagent, an alkynyl reagent or a norbornene-reactive reagent. 8. The modified bacterial cell of claim 7 , wherein the bacterial cell is present intracellularly in a eukaryotic host cell. 9. The modified bacterial cell of claim 7 , wherein the eukaryotic host cell is a macrophage. 10. The modified bacterial cell of claim 7 , wherein the reagent comprises a detectable label. 11. The modified bacterial cell of claim 10 , wherein the detectable label is a fluorescent label. 12. The modified bacterial cell of claim 10 , wherein the detectable label is a radioactive isotope. 13. The modified bacterial cell of claim 10 , wherein the detectable label is biotin. 14. The modified bacterial cell of claim 10 , wherein the detectable label is a peptide that can be detected by antibody binding. 15. The modified bacterial cell of claim 7 , wherein the reagent comprises a therapeutic agent. 16. The modified bacterial cell of claim 7 , wherein the reagent comprises an immunomodulatory molecule. 17. The modified bacterial cell of claim 7 , wherein the modified D-amino acid is an azide-modified D-amino acid, and the reagent is an alkynyl or phosphine reagent. 18. The modified bacterial cell of claim 7 , wherein the modified D-amino acid is an alkyne-modified D-amino acid, and the reagent is an azide or alkynyl reagent. 19. The modified bacterial cell of claim 7 , wherein the modified D-amino acid is a norbornene-modified D-amino acid, and the reagent is a norbornene-reactive agent.
