Described herein are cholix-IL-10 fusion proteins, and methods of use thereof, which can be characterized by a distinct response in an individual when administered. This distinct response can comprise changes in levels of one or more markers in the individual and/or co-localization of IL-10 in the lamina propria of the individual. Further described herein, in some embodiments, are oral formulations of the cholix-IL-10 fusion proteins. Described herein are methods for the purification of an IL-10 delivery construct, including methods for refolding and enrichment, which can result in maintenance of a high percentage of the IL-10 delivery constructs in the biologically active dimer form. Described herein are oral formulations configured for site-specific release of a therapeutic protein in the small intestines or colon. In some cases, the therapeutic protein is in the form of a dimer, such as an IL-10 delivery construct capable of crossing the gut epithelium.

Disclosed are methods and compositions related to polypeptides comprising a fusion of the needle tip protein and translocator protein of a type III secretion apparatus (T3SA) from a type III secretion system (T3SS) of a Gram negative bacteria. Disclosed herein are fusion polypeptides comprising a fusion of a needle tip protein, such as, Bsp22, LcrV, BipD, PcrV, CT053, or CT668, or anantigenic fragment thereof; and a translocator protein, such as, BopB, YopB, BipB, PopB, CopB, or CopB2, or anantigenic fragment thereof from a Type III secretion system (T3SS) of a Gram negative bacteria, such as, Bordetella, Burkholderia, Chlamydia, Pseudomonas, Vibrio, or Yersinia.

The present disclosure provides novel adjuvants which may be used in combination with one or more antigens to augment, modulate or enhance a host immune response to the one or more antigens. The adjuvants are based on sialic acid binding molecules and may be combined with any type of antigen. The adjuvants may be formulated for mucosal and/or intranasal administration.

Provided herein are polynucleic acids and expression vectors for the expression and secretion of angiotensin peptide fragments (e.g., angiotensin-(1-7)) in probiotic bacteria. Provided herein are also probiotic compositions that enable efficient, cost-effective and patient friendly oral therapeutics for treating diverse pathological conditions that involve the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), e.g., pulmonary hypertension, diabetes, diabetic complications, cardiovascular diseases, and ocular inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.
