IBDV mainly suppresses immunity by the severe destruction of B lymphocytes in the bursa of Fabricius (BF), thereby reducing the effect of vaccines. IBDV has been classified into two serotypes, serotype I found in chickens, and serotype II found in turkeys. IBDV belongs to the genus Avibirnavirus of the family Birnaviridae that are nonenveloped, icosahedral double‐stranded RNA viruses enclosing two segments, A and B (Azad <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0003" ref-type="ref">1985</xref>). The short segment B (2·8 kb) comprises viral protein 1 (VP1, ‘an RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase’; 97 kDa; Macreadie and Azad <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0041" ref-type="ref">1993</xref>), while segment A (3·17 kb) encodes the major components of the virus and contains two partially overlapping open reading frames (ORFs; Spies <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0068" ref-type="ref">1989</xref>; Kibenge <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0025" ref-type="ref">1991</xref>). The first ORF encodes the nonstructural viral protein VP5 (17 kDa) and the second ORF encodes a polyprotein precursor (pVP2–VP4–VP3, 110 kDa) that can be trans‐cleaved by VP4 (28 kDa) to release pVP2 (512 residues, 54·4 kDa) and VP3 (32 kDa) (Lejal <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0034" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>). The puromycin‐sensitive aminopeptidase (PurSA) and VP4 cleave pVP2 at its C‐terminus to produce the transitional pVP2 (452 residues) (Irigoyen <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0020" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>). pVP2 is further cleaved to produce the mature VP2 (441 residues) (Saugar <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0063" ref-type="ref">2005</xref>; Irigoyen <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0019" ref-type="ref">2009</xref>). VP2 (206 to 350 aa residues) is encoded by the hypervariable region (HVR) of IBDV and is responsible for antigenic variation (Vakharia <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0070" ref-type="ref">1994</xref>). In addition to homologous recombination in segments, mutations in the HVR of VP2 and genetic reassortment events are also responsible for the variation in IBDV (Islam <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0021" ref-type="ref">2001</xref>; Wei <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0071" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>; He <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">2009</xref>).</p><p>Replication of IBDV is promoted by chondroitin sulphate <italic>N</italic>‐acetylgalactosaminyltransferase‐2 (CSGalNAcT2), a type II transmembrane protein, which is located in the Golgi apparatus and aids viral glycosylation (Zhang <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0074" ref-type="ref">2015</xref>). The structural VP2 protein in IBDV is considered a significant host‐protective antigen. Indeed, vaccination with VP2 was able to induce protection against IBDV (Fahey <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0008" ref-type="ref">1989</xref>). VP2 consists of at least two neutralizing epitopes and assists in the activation of virus‐neutralizing antibodies in chickens to protect them from vvIBDV. In addition, antigenic variation, tissue‐culture adaptation, and viral virulence are all associated with VP2 (Brandt <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0006" ref-type="ref">2001</xref>).</p><p>The bacterial surface display of foreign proteins has gained attention in several fields of science, particularly in the development of vaccines (Samuelson <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0062" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>; Lee <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0032" ref-type="ref">2005</xref>; Rutherford and Mourez <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0060" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>). Narita <italic>et al</italic>. (<xref rid="jam14073-bib-0050" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>) documented increased expression of the active forms of proteins on the surface of <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> by using the surface display expression system (HCE‐PgsA) and the <italic>Geobacillus toebi</italic>‐derived HCE promoter that drives highly constitutive expression (Poo <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0056" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>). Due to the evolution of new strain variants, the traditional practice of using inactivated or attenuated vaccines has become less effective in controlling IBDV. However, compared to traditional vaccines, the recombinant vaccines adopted against IBDV have successfully minimized the risk of induction of bursal pathology or the reversal to virulence. In addition, recombinant vaccines are also helpful in providing protection against multiple infectious agents, reducing stress in vaccinated birds, and decreasing labour and vaccination costs (Mahgoub <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0042" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>). Thus, recombinant vaccines offer several advantages to the poultry industry, where vaccination is practiced extensively. IBDV recombinant vaccines with VP2 proteins have been developed using different methods and expression systems. However, whole bacterial cell vaccines are considered to have better immunogenicity than that of intracellular secreted antigens (Stover <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0069" ref-type="ref">1993</xref>; Grode <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0011" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>; Lee <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0032" ref-type="ref">2005</xref>).</p><p>Lactobacilli are attractive vaccine candidates because they have been successfully used as hosts for bacterial and viral antigen expression and can induce immune responses by oral administration (Maassen <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0040" ref-type="ref">1999</xref>; Grangette <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0010" ref-type="ref">2001</xref>; Reveneau <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0059" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>; Scheppler <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0064" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>; Ho <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0016" ref-type="ref">2005</xref>; Ma <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0039" ref-type="ref">2018</xref>). In addition, lactobacilli have demonstrated intrinsic adjuvant activity (Perdigón <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0055" ref-type="ref">2001</xref>; Ogawa <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0051" ref-type="ref">2005</xref>; Yu <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0073" ref-type="ref">2017</xref>). <italic>Lactobacillus</italic> strains serve as live bacterial vehicles and can colonize the intestinal tract (Medina and Guzmán <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0046" ref-type="ref">2001</xref>). Oral vaccination has been proven to be an effective way to achieve better colonization of bacteria and successful diffusion within the systemic circulation (Mestecky <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0047" ref-type="ref">1987</xref>; Mcghee <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0045" ref-type="ref">1992</xref>). Additionally, oral immunization induced both humoral and cellular immune responses (Li <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0035" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>). In the present study, we investigated a novel recombinant <italic>Lactobacillus</italic> delivery system against vvIBDV. The pPG612 vector, containing a surface display expression system (HCE‐PgsA), was used to construct recombinant vectors expressing VP2 protein on the surface of the bacteria with or without the translational enhancer T7g10 (Olins and Rangwala <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0052" ref-type="ref">1989</xref>); these vectors were named pPG612‐T7g10‐VP2 and pPG612‐VP2 respectively. We compared the humoral and cellular immune responses induced by pPG612‐VP2 and pPG612‐T7g10‐VP2 vectors in chickens. To date, the HCE‐PgsA system and T7g10 enhancer‐based vaccine strategy has not been reported for vvIBDV.

The serum anti‐IBDV antibody titre of each sample was evaluated twice. A positive (diluted chicken anti‐IBDV serum) and negative (diluted chicken serum nonreactive to IBDV) control was provided with the kit, and the ELISA procedure was followed according to manufacturer's instructions. Serum anti‐IBDV samples were diluted at 1 : 500 with the sample diluent provided with the kit. Diluted samples (100 <italic>μ</italic>l) were dispensed into appropriate ELISA plate wells (viral antigen coated) and incubated for 30 min (±2 min) at 22°C.

The presence of vvIBDV antibodies was determined by comparing the absorbance A (650 nm) of the unknown sample to the positive control mean. The positive control was standardized and represented a significant IBDV antibody level in chicken serum. The relative level of antibodies in the sample was determined by calculating the sample‐to‐positive (S/P) ratio according to kit instructions, and results with S/P >0·20 were considered positive. The log<sub>10</sub> IBDV antibody titre was calculated to illustrate the antibody response.

Vaccines available in the market show partial defence against virulent and highly virulent IBDV strains. Previously, several studies have reported that DNA‐based vaccines successfully induced cellular and humoral immune responses against pathogens (Kodihalli <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0028" ref-type="ref">1999</xref>; Fan <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0009" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>; Serezani <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0066" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>). Deoxyribonucleic acid vaccines against IBDV that employed the VP2 protein have been shown to induce antibody production, but the expression and protection conferred have been found to vary (Becht <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0004" ref-type="ref">1988</xref>). In the current study, we evaluated the immune response to VP2 protein expressed on the surface of bacteria using the HCE‐PgsA system, since higher immunological responses have been reported from surface‐displayed antigens compared with intracellularly secreted antigens (Stover <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0069" ref-type="ref">1993</xref>; Jong‐Soo <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0022" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>; Grode <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0011" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>).

(<xref rid="jam14073-bib-0033" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>) reported both systemic and mucosal immune responses against acute respiratory syndrome‐associated coronavirus with the S antigen (SARS‐CoV S) using the PgsA system in the <italic>L. casei</italic> expression system. OprF (a dominant outer membrane protein of <italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</italic>), FadL (an outer membrane protein involved in the transport of long‐chain fatty acids in <italic>E. coli</italic>) and PgsA have all been used as anchor proteins (Poo <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0056" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>; Lee <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0031" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>, <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0032" ref-type="ref">2005</xref>), but PgsA has been shown to be a better anchor for lactic acid bacteria. However, to date, no candidate vaccine against vvIBDV has been developed using the HCE‐PgsA system. Therefore, we tested the PgsA gene product as an anchor for the surface display of antigens. The HCE‐PgsA system has been used in vaccine development against tumours and influenza viruses, showing positive results. However, it has been reported that the HCE‐PgsA system expresses low levels of recombinant protein (Poo <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0057" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>). Therefore, we introduced an extra‐ribosomal binding site (RBS) T7g10 (enhancer) in the HCE‐PgsA system and compared VP2 protein expression and protection against vvIBDV in the presence and absence of this enhancer. This synthetic sequence was derived from gene 10 of bacteriophage T7 called ‘Epsilon’ (enhancer of protein synthesis initiation) (Olins and Rangwala <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0052" ref-type="ref">1989</xref>). It has been reported that this sequence can improve the expression of poorly expressed heterologous genes. Studies have proven that the efficacy of gene 10 is due to the presence of a nine‐base sequence upstream of the Shine–Dalgarno region. It has been documented that T7g10‐derived RBS displays 40‐fold greater expression than the typical RBS. Mammalian, plant and bacterial proteins have been expressed at high levels by the construction of a plasmid vector with a T7g10 leader sequence (Olins <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0053" ref-type="ref">1988</xref>).</p><p>To express the antigenic protein on the surface of bacteria, antigenic proteins should be fused with an anchor protein that is naturally expressed on the surface of the bacteria. Therefore, we constructed two recombinant surface‐displayed expression vectors, pPG612‐VP2 and pPG612‐T7g10‐VP2, expressed in <italic>L. plantarum</italic>. In this study, indirect immunofluorescence confirmed VP2 protein expression on the surface of the recombinant bacteria. We used the translational enhancer T7g10 to enhance the constitutive protein expression of the vector. Expression analysis by Western blot indicated that pPG612‐T7g10‐VP2/LP expressed higher levels of VP2 protein when compared to pPG612‐VP2/LP and pPG612/LP.</p><p>Immunogenicity studies were performed after the expression of VP2 protein on the surface of <italic>L. plantarum</italic> had been confirmed. Antibody levels in sera and production of cytokines were measured to evaluate the immune responses of the chickens.</p><p>It has been reported that antibody levels determine protection against vvIBDV in chickens (Berg <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0005" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>). In this study, we determined that the recombinant <italic>Lactobacillus</italic> delivery system induces a strong antibody response in both the pPG612‐VP2/LP‐ and pPG612‐T7g10‐VP2/LP‐treated groups. Moreover, the immune response to pPG612‐T7g10‐VP2/LP was significantly higher (<italic>P</italic> < 0·05) than to pPG612‐VP2/LP. We also determined the bursal/body weight ratio (B/B ratio), survival and protective rates against IBDV challenge. The B/B ratios of the pPG612‐VP2/LP and pPG612‐T7g10‐VP2/LP groups were both significantly higher than that of the pPG612/LP group (<italic>P</italic> < 0·01), and the value of the pPG612‐T7g10‐VP2/L group was significantly higher than that of the pPG612‐VP2/L group (<italic>P</italic> < 0·05). Although the protection rate of the pPG612‐T7g10‐VP2/LP group was higher than that of the pPG612‐VP2/LP group (87·5 <italic>vs</italic> 75%), no significant difference was found between the two groups, which may be caused by the small sample size in this study. It has been proven that not only the humoral immune response but also the cellular immune response mediated by T cells plays a significant role in the control of vvIBDV infection (Rautenschlein <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0058" ref-type="ref">2002</xref>). During the IBDV replication phase, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells show an influx into the BF (the site of virus replication) and other adjacent lymphoid organs such as the caecal tonsils and the spleen (Sharma <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0067" ref-type="ref">1989</xref>; Kim <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0026" ref-type="ref">1999</xref>, <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0027" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>). We examined the effect of vaccination on T‐cell responses upon viral attack, showing that the number of T cells significantly increased after virus infection. Cyclosporin A treatment was responsible for reducing circulating T cells and was involved in T‐cell mitogenesis, which in turn was responsible for viral burden in the bursae of IBDV‐infected chickens (Kim <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0027" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>). T cell‐mediated responses have a significant role in viral clearance and are involved in the recovery from viral infection (Kim <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0027" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>). The cell‐mediated immune system activates macrophages and natural killer cells in response to an antigen (Lukacs and Kurlander <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0036" ref-type="ref">1989</xref>; Harty and Bevan <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0012" ref-type="ref">1992</xref>). In IBDV‐infected chickens, there was an increase in the number of intrabursal T cells, while the bursae of uninfected chickens had very few resident T cells (Khan and Hashimoto <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0024" ref-type="ref">1996</xref>; Lütticken <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0037" ref-type="ref">1997</xref>; Kim <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0026" ref-type="ref">1999</xref>, <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0027" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>). Our results indicate that T7g10 may be responsible for the increased expression of the VP2 protein, thereby increasing antibody production that in turn produces a strong humoral immune response and subsequently maximum protection from viral challenge. Furthermore, a greater amount of VP2 stimulates the cell‐mediated immune response, which shows a better CD4+ and CD8+ T‐cell response. CD8+ T cells are cytotoxic T cells which are involved in the lysis of virally infected cells, tumour cells and allografts, and play a crucial role in the immune response (Sharma <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0067" ref-type="ref">1989</xref>). Upon activation, helper CD4+ T cells function as “middlemen” and trigger secretion and proliferation of various cytokines.</p><p>Cytokine production regulates host responses. Th1 cells are responsible for the secretion of IFN‐<italic>γ</italic> and IL‐2 cytokines and are involved in effective cell‐mediated immunity leading to the successful elimination of intracellular pathogens (Kunzendorf <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0030" ref-type="ref">1998</xref>). Th2 cells are involved in the control of certain parasitic infections through the production of cytokines such as IL‐4, IL‐5 and IL‐13 (Avery <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0002" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>). The bursa of virally infected chickens is involved in the activation of T cells and upregulates the expression of other cytokine genes such as IL‐1b, IL‐6 and IFN‐γ (Eldaghayes <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0007" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>). Cellular immune responses mediated by cytokines against vvIBDV in chickens are poorly illustrated and have not yet been broadly studied. In our study, higher concentrations of IFN‐γ, IL‐2 and IL‐4 cytokines were detected in pPG612‐T7g10‐VP2/LP compared to pPG612‐VP2/LP; among these, concentrations of IFN‐γ in pPG612‐T7g10‐VP2/LP were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic> < 0·01) compared to pPG612‐VP2/LP. IBDV‐infected chickens had upregulated gamma interferon gene expression in spleen and bursal cells compared to virus‐free chickens (Khan and Hashimoto <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0024" ref-type="ref">1996</xref>; Lütticken <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0037" ref-type="ref">1997</xref>). It has been documented that IL‐2 has a significant role in regulating the function and development of T cells (Malek <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0044" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>). In mice, targeted deletion in the IL‐2 gene has been shown to affect multiple target organs thus supporting that IL‐2 plays a role in immunodeficiency and fatal autoimmune inflammatory disease (Schorle and Hunig <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0065" ref-type="ref">1991</xref>; Kündig <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0029" ref-type="ref">1993</xref>; Sadlack <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0061" ref-type="ref">1993</xref>).</p><p>Th1 or Th2 cytokine production in vaccinated chickens is the outcome of an adaptive immune response. Th2 cytokines direct B cells to produce the anti‐allergen IgE, and they also inhibit Th1 cell function and prevent the production of IL‐2 and IFN‐<italic>γ</italic> that are crucial for the development of cytotoxic T cells (Berg <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0005" ref-type="ref">2000</xref>). IL‐4 is a multifunctional pleiotropic cytokine involved in apoptosis and gene expression in various cells including lymphocytes, macrophages and fibroblasts, as well as epithelial and endothelial cells. Investigation of IL‐4 is required for the understanding of the Th2 phenotype of lymphocytes and for regulating cell proliferation (Luzina <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0038" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>). Among the three cytokines studied, we observed low production of the Th2 cytokine IL‐2, and the highest expression of the Th1 cytokine IFN‐g. The expression analysis of Th1 and Th2 cytokines indicated that this recombinant <italic>Lactobacillus</italic> delivery system induces an immune response via the Th1 pathway.</p><p>To conclude, our results demonstrated that VP2 protein was expressed on the surface of bacteria using the HCE‐PgsA system and proved that the T7g10 enhancer improved the level of VP2 expression and induced a greater immune response against vvIBDV. Therefore, bacteria are better recognized by the immune system when antigens are expressed on its surface rather than intracellularly (Lee <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0033" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>). To the best of our knowledge, this HCE‐PgsA and T7g10 enhancer‐based vaccine strategy has not been previously reported for vvIBDV. Our results indicate that this recombinant <italic>Lactobacillus</italic> delivery system was more successful than has been previously achieved, demonstrating a 100% survival rate and being suitable for administration (Wu <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0072" ref-type="ref">2007</xref>; Park <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0054" ref-type="ref">2009</xref>; Arnold <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0001" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>; He <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0015" ref-type="ref">2018</xref>). Considerably less bursal atrophy was observed compared to other DNA vaccines (Kapczynski <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0023" ref-type="ref">2003</xref>; Haygreen <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0013" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>; Hsieh <italic>et al</italic>. <xref rid="jam14073-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">2007</xref>), which indicates that this strategy provides more protection from the virus. These results taken together demonstrate that this recombinant <italic>Lactobacillus</italic> delivery system is immunogenic and can confer protection against vvIBDV in chickens.</p></sec><sec sec-type="COI-statement" id="jam14073-sec-0021"><title>Conflict of Interest</title><p>The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supporting information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="jam14073-sup-0001"><caption><p><bold>Figure S1</bold> Map of pPG612‐HCE‐T7g10‐PgsA‐VP2‐rrnBT1T2.</p></caption><media xlink:href="JAM-125-1670-s001.tif"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="jam14073-sup-0002"><caption><p><bold>Table S1</bold> pPG612‐HCE‐T7g10‐PgsA‐VP2‐rrnBT1T2 information.</p></caption><media xlink:href="JAM-125-1670-s002.doc"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material></sec></body><back><ack id="jam14073-sec-0020"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>First and foremost, we are indebted to all of our coworkers who assisted in achieving this fact‐finding.
