Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are Gram-positive, nonpathogenic microorganisms that are gaining much interest as antigen producers for development of live vaccine vectors. Heterologous proteins of different origin have been successfully expressed in various LAB species, including  Lactococcus lactis . Recombinant  L. lactis  strains have been shown to induce specific local and systemic immune responses against various antigens. Our study aimed at constructing a  L. lactis  strain expressing haemagglutinin of a Polish avian H5H1 influenza isolate and examining its effect on animals. Expression of the cloned  H5  gene was achieved using the nisin-controlled gene expression system. Detection of the intracellular H5 antigen produced in  L. lactis  was performed by Western blot analysis and confirmed using mass spectrometry. The potential of  L. lactis  recombinant cells to induce an immune response was examined by setting up preliminary immunization trials on chickens and mice. Obtained sera were tested for specific antibodies by ELISA assays. The results of these studies are a promising step toward developing a vaccine against the bird flu using  Lactococcus lactis  cells as bioreactors for efficient antigen production and delivery to the mucosal surface.
