IMMUNOGENIC CONJUGATES AND THEIR USE This invention is in the field of conjugation of “native” external membrane vesicles (nOMV), not extracted by a detergent, with antigens, to form nOMV-antigen conjugates, which are particularly useful for immunization. 1 1 art background Conjugation of antigens to carriers is an established procedure to improve immunogenicity, especially for saccharides. For example, bacterial capsular saccharides are antigens naturally independent of T cells that give rise to an immune response that lacks several important properties. Conjugation to a support moiety converts these saccharides into T-cell dependent antigens which can then produce an immunological memory effect, and also trigger effective immune responses in young children. A known source of protein support in such conjugates is the membrane protein complex BE2017 / 5855 external (OMPC) of N. meningitidis serogroup B (for example, see document EP-0467714, Merck & co.), Which has been included as a carrier in approved vaccines based on H. conjugates influenzae B. OMPC has also been used as a carrier in protein conjugates. According to the prior art, OMPC is conjugated to an antigen via a protein residue, which can be activated or chemically modified in order to more efficiently effect conjugation with the chosen antigen. Wu et al. (PNAS USA 2006; 103 (48): 18243-18248) report that conjugation of Pfs25H (a human protein blocking malaria transmission) to OMPC has resulted in a Pfs25H-OMPC conjugate vaccine which has been> 1000 times more powerful in the production of anti-Pfs25H reactivity by the ELISA technique in mice compared to a similar dose of Pfs25H alone. Conjugation of OMPC to the protein Pfs25H can be obtained by reacting the Pfs25H activated by a maleimide with thiolated outer membrane proteins within the OMPC (for a general reference, see, for example, document WO 2006 / 124712), as shown in diagram 1.

In addition, the connection with the selected antigen requires the presence and activation of an appropriate vesicle protein, thus posing an additional problem in light of the use of detergents or chemical agents during isolation of the vesicles. , which can change the composition of surface proteins. Therefore, there is always the need to provide new conjugates useful as immunogenic compounds which overcome the problems of the prior art, and which can be obtained by a simple and practical procedure. The Applicant has now discovered that when nOMVs are connected to antigens selected by BE2017 / 5855 via saccharide fractions, the conjugates thus obtained are endowed with remarkable immunogenicity and can be obtained by a reliable and practical process, as described below in more detail. Summary of the invention In a first aspect, the invention relates to an immunogenic nOMV-antigen conjugate, comprising a native external membrane vesicle (nOMV) obtained by a detergent-free process, comprising at least one fraction of native surface saccharide connected to at least a selected foreign antigen. In another aspect, the invention relates to a process for preparing said conjugate, comprising the following steps: i) the activation of at least a fraction of nOMV saccharide, generally linked to the surface of nOMV, and ii) the connection of the activated saccharide thus obtained to at least one selected antigen. According to a preferred embodiment, the saccharides linked to the surface of the nOMVs are activated by oxidation, and then connected with the selected antigens, more preferably under conditions of reductive amination. In another aspect, the invention also relates to the above conjugate for use as a medicament, particularly as an immunogenic compound, or for the preparation of an immunogenic composition or a vaccine. BE2017 / 5855 In yet another aspect, the invention relates to an immunogenic composition or a vaccine, comprising the conjugate indicated above and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or adjuvant; and a method for producing an immune response in a vertebrate, comprising administering said composition or said vaccine. In another aspect, the invention also relates to the use of nOMV for the preparation of immunogenic conjugates. Brief description of the drawings Figure 1 shows the structures of -OAg for S. sonnei. FIG. 2 shows the anti-Vi (FIG. 2A) and anti-OAg (FIG. 2B) IgG titers after immunization with the fragmented Vi saccharide (fVi) conjugated to nOMVs of S. typhimurium compared to fVi physically mixed with said nOMVs or combined with the more traditional support, CRM197 (formulated with Alhydrogel). 5 week old female CD1 mice (8 per group) were immunized subcutaneously on days 0 and 28 with 1 µg Vi / dose. Titers were measured on days 0, 14, 28 and 42. FIG. 3 represents the antiCTF1232 IgG titers after immunization with the CTF1232 polypeptide conjugated to various supports (formulated with Alhydrogel).

FIG. 4 represents the anti-Pfs25 IgG titers after immunization with the Pfs25 polypeptide conjugated to nOMVs of S. typhimurium 1418 AtolR compared to Pfs25 alone or physically mixed with said nOMVs. 5 week old female CD1 mice (8 per group) were immunized subcutaneously on days 0 and 28 with 0.1 µg Pfs25 / dose (Figure 4A, with Alhydrogel) or 1 µg Pfs25 / dose (Figure 4B, without Alhydrogel). The titers were measured on days 0, 14, 28 and 42. FIG. 4C represents the IgG antiOAg titers using 2 and 0.1 μg of Pfs25 / dose, and corresponding to 10 and 0.5 μg of nOMV / dose , respectively (formulated with Alhydrogel).

FIG. 5 represents the anti-RO6C IgG titers (FIG. 5A) and the anti-OAg IgG titers (FIG. 5B) after immunization with RO6C alone, or conjugated to nOMV vesicles of S. typhimurium 1418 AtolR (formulated with Alhydrogel ). A recycled conjugate was prepared by recycling unconjugated RO6C from the first conjugation batch. 5 week old female CD1 mice (8 per group) were immunized subcutaneously on days 0 and 28, and doses of 1, 4 and 20 µg RO6C were used. For conjugates, the corresponding doses of nOMV were 13 pg, 52 pg and 258 pg, respectively (4 pg of RO6C and 32 pg of nOMV BE2017 / 5855 for recycled conjugate).

Detailed description of the invention To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a number of terms and phrases are defined below. Synonyms or variations recognized in the art of the following terms and phrases (including past tenses, present tenses, etc.), even if not specifically described, are contemplated As used in the present disclosure and the claims, the singular forms "one", "one", "the" and "the" include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise; that is, "one" means "one or more" unless otherwise indicated. BE2017 / 5855 The terms "approximately" or "approximately" mean roughly, around, or in the regions of. The terms "approximately" or "approximately" further mean within an acceptable range of contextual errors for the particular value determined by a person of average skill in the field, which will depend in part on how the value is measured or determined , that is, the limitations of the measurement system or the degree of precision required for a particular purpose, for example, the amount of a nutrient in a nutrient formulation. When the terms "approximately" or "approximately" are used in conjunction with a numeric range, they modify that range by extending the limits above and below the numerical values presented. For example, "between about 0.2 and 5.0 mg / ml" means that the limits of the numeric range extend below 0.2 and above 5.0 so that the particular value in question is reached the same functional result as within the range. For example, "approximately" and "approximately" may mean 1 or more than 1 standard deviation depending on practice in the art. Alternatively, "approximately" and "approximately" can mean a range of up to 20%, preferably up to 10%, more preferably up to 5%, and more preferably up to 1% a given value. The term "and / or" as used in a sentence such as "A and / or B" is intended to include "A and B", "A or B", "A", and "B". Similarly, the term "and / or" as used in a sentence such as "A, BE2017 / 5855 B, and / or VS " East supposed to encompass each of the modes of production following: A, B, and C ; AT, B , or VS ; AT or VS ; A or B ; B or VS ; A and C; A and B ; B and C; AT (alone) ; B (alone) ; and C (alone).Except precision contrary to all the designations "A% -B% " , "A-B -g "," A o cL B% "" AT at B% " "A% -B", "A% to B", it is given the usual and conventional meaning. In some embodiments, these designations are synonymous. The terms "substantially" or "sensitive" mean that the condition described or claimed works in all important aspects like the standard described. Thus, "substantially free" is meant to encompass conditions which work in all important aspects as free conditions, even if the numerical values indicate the presence of certain impurities or substances. "Sensitive" generally means a value greater than 90%, preferably greater than 95%, most preferably greater than 99%. When particular values are used in the specification and in the claims, unless otherwise indicated, the term "substantially" means with an acceptable range of errors for the particular value. An "effective amount" means an amount sufficient to cause the referenced effect or result. An "effective amount can be determined empirically and routinely using techniques known in connection with the stated objective. BE2017 / 5855 As used herein, "heterologous" means that the two or more referenced molecules or structures are derived from a different organism. For example, a heterologous antigen is one that is derived from an organism different from the nOMV vesicle to which it is attached. "Homologous" as used herein means that the two or more referenced molecules or structures are derived from the same organism. As used herein, "foreign" means that the two or more referenced molecules or structures are not naturally associated with each other. For example, a selected antigen which is here supposed to be "foreign to" a surface saccharide of nOMV here means that the antigen is not naturally or innately conjugated to the surface saccharide and, therefore, is not naturally conjugated to the nOMV molecule even though the antigen and the saccharide (or the nOMV molecule) may come from the same organism. In this way, a foreign antigen is not necessarily a heterologous antigen but a heterologous antigen is a foreign antigen. "Sequence identity" can be determined by the Smith-Waterman homology search algorithm as implemented in the Oxford Molecular (MPSRCH) program, using an affine gap search with the penalty parameters d gap opening = 12 and gap extension penalty = 1, but is preferably determined by the Needleman-Wunsch global alignment algorithm (see, for example, Rubin (2000) Pediatric. Clin. North Am. 47: 269-285), using the default settings (par BE2017 / 5855 example, with a gap opening penalty = 10.0, and with a gap extension penalty = 0.5, using the score matrix EBLOSUM62). This algorithm is practically implemented in the Needle tool of the EMBOSS software package. When the request relates to the sequence identity with a particular SEQ ID, the identity is assumed to be calculated over the entire length of that SEQ ID. The term "w / w in%" indicates the percentage by weight of a given component, relative to a different component or relative to the total content of a composition, as indicated. Similarly, the term "% v / v" indicates the percentage by volume of a given component, relative to a different component or relative to the total content of a composition, as indicated. The term “-OAg” (O antigen) is used within the present invention to indicate an antigen functionality present in lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or lipooligosaccharides (LOS) on the surface of the nOMV considered, useful for conjugation with a correct antigen (generally indicated by Ag) according to the invention. In more detail, LPS are generally formed from three different parts, known as: lipid A (responsible for the toxicity of LPS), the oligosaccharide nucleus and the -OAg chain, a repeating polymer of glycans and the main contributor to the serological specificity of bacteria. The term "alkyl or alkenyl to C linear or branched x" includes within its meaning a BE2017 / 5855 linear or branched saturated or unsaturated linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group containing 1 to x carbon atoms. For example, the term bivalent C1 to C10 alkyl or alkenyl group includes in its meaning a bivalent saturated or unsaturated alkyl or alkenyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, vinyl, allyl and the like. As used herein, the term "saccharide (or sugar) moiety" includes in its meaning monosaccharides, as well as polysaccharide units. It should be understood that the saccharide fractions can exist in open and closed form (cycle) and that, when closed forms are presented here in the structural formulas, the open forms are also encompassed by the invention. Similarly, it should be understood that the saccharide fractions can exist in forms of pyranose and furanose and that, when forms of pyranose are presented here in the structural formulas, forms of furanose are also encompassed. Different anomeric forms of saccharide moieties are also included. The term "oligosaccharide" includes in its meaning polysaccharides comprising from 3 to monosaccharide units. Unless otherwise provided, the term "polypeptide" refers to polypeptides of any length capable of acting as the chosen antigen. The amino acid polymer forming the polypeptide of the invention may be linear or branched, may include modified amino acids, and it BE2017 / 5855 can be interrupted by non-amino acids. The term also includes an amino acid polymer that has been modified naturally or through intervention; for example, disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other manipulation or modification, such as conjugation with a labeling component. Also included within the definition are, for example, polypeptides containing one or more amino acid analogs (including, for example, unnatural amino acids, etc.), as well as other modifications known in the art. 'art. The polypeptides can appear as single chains or as associated chains. The "weight average molecular weight" is intended to indicate the weight average molecular weight obtained by ordinary arithmetic means or the average of the molecular weights of the individual component, for example, amino acids in the case of polypeptide derivatives. The term "polysaccharides / capsular saccharides" (PSC) indicates those saccharides that may be found in the layer that lies outside the cell envelope of bacteria, thus forming part of the outer envelope of the bacterial cell itself . PSCs are expressed on the outermost surface of a wide range of bacteria, and in some cases even in fungi. Unless otherwise provided, the term "conjugation" indicates the connection or connection of BE2017 / 5855 subject entities, particularly with reference to the nOMV and the selected antigenic fractions. By "immunologically effective amount" it is meant that the administration of this amount to an individual, either as a single dose or as part of a series, is effective for treatment or prevention. This amount may vary depending on the health and physical condition of the individual to be treated, age, the taxonomic group of the individual to be treated (for example, non-human primate, primate, etc.), the capacity of the immune system. of the individual to synthesize antibodies, the degree of protection desired, the formulation of the vaccine, the physician's assessment of the medical situation, and other relevant factors. It is expected that the amount will fall within a relatively wide range which can be determined through routine testing. The term "nOMV" here indicates a vesicle isolated from the medium or detached from cells, and these are intact membrane vesicles not exposed to detergents or denaturing agents, that is to say, not extracted by detergent. The nOMVs of the invention present the outer membrane proteins (OMP) and the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in their native conformation and correct orientation in the natural membrane environment, and in which the cytoplasmic components are usually lacking. On the contrary, the term “OMV” or “dOMV” encompasses various proteoliposomal vesicles obtained by rupture of the outer membrane of a Gram negative bacterium generally by an extraction process by a BE2017 / 5855 detergent to form vesicles from it. Complexes of outer membrane proteins (for example, Neisseria meningitidis OMPC) can be considered in such a definition, because they have a three-dimensional structure and composition similar to dOMV, and they are isolated by procedures extraction with a detergent (see, for example, documents EP 0467714, US 4,271,147, US 4,459,286 and US 4,830,852). The detergent extraction process removes LPS and phospholipids, together with immunoprotective lipoproteins. Such elimination changes the structure of native vesicles and promotes aggregation. Aggregation can lead to significant problems in terms of process development (yield, regularity of production and stability). Unlike nOMVs, characterized by a defined homogeneous distribution of sizes (generally in the range of 20 to 250 nm, measured by the dynamic DLS light scattering technique), dOMVs have an indefinite heterogeneous distribution of sizes (usually in the range of 550 to 5500 nm measured by the dynamic DLS light scattering technique) caused by detergent-induced vesicle aggregation (see for general reference, Vaccine 28, 2010, 4810). The detergent extraction process also causes contamination of the OMV-containing composition (eg, vaccines) with cytoplasmic proteins as a result of lysis of the bacterial cells. BE2017 / 5855 According to methodologies of the prior art, dOMVs and nOMVs can be analyzed and described in terms of size, shape and overall appearance of impurities or non-OMV contaminating materials (such as vesicle aggregates or residues of detergent in the case of dOMV) using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). For detailed references regarding the differences between dOMVs and nOMVs, see, for example, van de Waterbeemd (2013) J. Prot. Res. Quantitative Proteomics Reveals Distinct Differences in the Protein Content of Outer Membrane Vesicle Vaccines; and J. Klimentova et al. Microbiological Research 170 (2015) 1-9 Methods of isolation and purification of the outer membrane vesicles from gram-negative bacteria. As indicated above, in a first aspect, the invention relates to a conjugate comprising a selected antigen connected to a saccharide fraction present on the surface of a vesicle of native external membrane not extracted by a detergent (nOMV ). Note, the nOMVs according to the present invention are collected and isolated substantially without the use of detergents, unlike, for example, dOMVs of the prior art obtained by means of an extraction with deoxycholate or in using zwitterionic detergents such as Empigen BB (see, for example, US 4,707,543) or the like. On the contrary, it should be emphasized that a detergent extraction step may be undesirable in the present invention, for a whole series of reasons, including the fact that a BE2017 / 5855 detergent will reduce the amount of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) / lipooligosaccharide (LOS) present on the vesicle, which can be really useful for conjugation with the chosen antigen as described below. In more detail, nOMVs are naturally occurring membrane vesicles which form spontaneously during bacterial growth and which are released into the culture medium. They can be obtained, for example, by culture of bacteria in a broth culture medium, by separating whole cells from the smaller nOMVs in the broth culture medium (for example, by filtration or by low speed centrifugation to aggregate only cells and not smaller vesicles), and then collecting nOMVs from cell-depleted medium (for example, by filtration, by differential precipitation or aggregation, by high speed centrifugation to aggregate the vesicles). Strains for use in the production of nOMV can generally be chosen based on the amount of nOMV produced in culture. These nOMV are characterized by the fact that they are collected and isolated following a procedure devoid of detergent. Preferably, the present nOMVs are released into the fermentation broth and are purified using centrifugation and a subsequent filtration step (for general reference, see, for example, Clin Immunol vaccine. still preferred, the present nOMV are released in the fermentation broth and are purified in BE2017 / 5855 using the following two consecutive stages of tangential flow filtration (FFT): (i) microfiltration in which the culture supernatant containing the nOMV is separated from the bacteria, and (ii) an ultrafiltration in which the nOMV are separated soluble proteins (for a general reference, see, for example, PLoS One. 2015; 10 (8): e0134478). The nOMVs thus obtained can then be used directly within the present invention without any additional purification / isolation step. The nOMVs presently considered have a preferred size distribution between 20 and 250 nm, measured by the dynamic DLS light scattering technique. According to some embodiments, nOMVs are prepared from wild type bacteria or from bacteria that have been genetically engineered in general to increase immunogenicity (for example, to hyper-express immunogens), to reduce toxicity , to inhibit the synthesis of capsular saccharides, to negatively regulate the expression of immunodominant antigens, and the like. They can also be prepared from hyperburgical strains. The nOMVs of the invention can also express exogenous proteins on their surface and they can be depleted of endotoxin. Preferably, the nOMVs to be used in the present invention are produced from genetically modified bacterial strains which are mutated to enhance the production of vesicles, and possibly also to eliminate or modify BE2017 / 5855 antigens (e.g. lipid A) and / or to overexpress homologous antigens or antigens from other organisms. Said preferred nOMVs are also known as generalized modules of membrane antigens (GMMA) as described, for example, in PLoS One. 2015; 10 (8): e0134478. The amplified spontaneous production of vesicles can be obtained, for example, by a targeted deletion of proteins involved in maintaining the integrity of the membrane. It has been observed that the external surface of nOMVs substantially corresponds to the external surface of the bacteria from which they are derived, preserving the membrane antigens (including, for example, lipopolysaccharides, lipooligosaccharides and lipoproteins) in the background of the membrane. Advantageously, the nOMVs used in the invention (unlike the dOMVs extracted by a detergent) retain these components of the outer membrane in their native conformation and correct orientation, better preserving immunogenicity against the bacterial strain from which they are derived. Generally, nOMVs for use in the present invention can be prepared from any suitable bacteria, where preferred bacteria include, but are not limited to: Neisseria (for example, especially N. meningitidis of any serogroup including A, B, C, X, Y or W135, or from a non-pathogenic Neisseria), Shigella (like S. sonnei, S. flexneri, dysenteriae or boydii), serovars of Salmonella enterica (such as paratyphi A, BE2017 / 5855 B or C, enteritidis, typhi or typhimurium), Haemophilus influenzae (e.g. H. influenzae not typeable), Vibrio cholerae, Bordetella pertussis, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Mycobacterium bovis BCG, Escherichia coli, Bacteroides (including Porphyromonas aer) Helicobacter pylori, Brucella melitensis Campylobacter jejuni, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Xenorhabdus nematophilus, Moraxella catarrhalis, or Borrelia burgdorferi. The particularly preferred bacteria are chosen from at least one of: S. sonnei, S. flexneri, the bacteria Salmonella, and the meningococcus, particularly the meningococcus of serogroup B. Virulent Shigella strains have a 220 kb plasmid that mediates virulence properties. This "virulence plasmid" has been shown to encode genes for several aspects of Shigella virulence, including adhesins for target epithelial cells, invasive plasmid antigens, virF, virG, and the like. A Shigella used with the invention may or may not have a virulence plasmid. The absence of the plasmid can stabilize the strain during industrial culture, attenuate the strain by eliminating virulence factors (thereby increasing the safety of manufacture), avoid the presence of the enterotoxin ShET2 (coded by the ospD3 gene or sen on the plasmid), and avoid the presence of msbB2 which is a second copy of the msbB gene responsible for the acylation of lipid A. The absence of the virulence plasmid can also disturb the lipopolysaccharide. However, the genes for BE2017 / 5855 biosynthesis for 1'-OAg should preferably be conserved, either by the maintenance of a mutated virulence plasmid, or by inclusion in another plasmid or by cloning in the bacterial chromosome As far as the Salmonella bacterium is concerned, a particularly preferred strain is chosen from: Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella paratyphi A. The nOMVs of the Meningococcus bacteria are also preferred. Such vesicles can be prepared from any meningococcal strain. The vesicles are preferably prepared from a strain of serogroup B, but it is also preferred to to prepare at from serogroup s others that B, as One of: AT , vs, W135 or Y, depending of the known procedures in art. The strain may be of all serotype (through example, 1 2a, 2b, 4 , 14, 15, 16 etc. ) , all sero subtype (for example, PI.4), and any immunotype (for example, L1; L2; L3; L3.7; L3.7.9; L10; etc.). The meningococci can be of any suitable line, including hyper-invasive and hypervirulent lines, preferably any one of the following seven hypervirulent lines: subgroup I; subgroup III; subgroup IV-1; ET-5 complex; ET-37 complex; group A4; line 3. Most preferably, the OMVs are prepared from the strain NZ98 / 254, or another strain with the sero-subtype of PorA PI.4. In another embodiment, the bacteria for the preparation of the nOMVs useful for the invention can be mutant strains which have been manipulated, BE2017 / 5855 for example, to amplify the production of vesicles, to express one or more desired antigens, and / or to inactivate or modify an unwanted gene (for example, one which codes for a toxin or which codes for an enzyme involved in production of a toxic product, such as an endotoxin). In this direction, other nOMVs for the invention are produced by a Salmonella bacterium, particularly an S. typhimurium (also known as Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium) which does not express a functional TolR protein. When the vesicles are prepared from E. coli, Shigella or Salmonella, the bacteria cannot express more than 4 of the proteins TolA, TolB, TolQ, TolR and Pal. Thus, at least one protein from the system of five natural Tol-Pal proteins may be absent, resulting in a bacterium which, during growth in the culture medium, releases greater amounts of outer membrane vesicles in the medium compared to the same bacteria expressing the 5 Tol-Pal proteins. Preferably TolR is not expressed, but the other four proteins can be expressed (i.e., an ATolR strain). In preferred embodiments, at least one of the five Tol-Pal proteins in E. coli, Shigella or Salmonella is eliminated, for example, by deletion or inactivation of the gene encoding the protein. Thus, the bacteria can express 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 of the proteins TolA, TolB, TolQ, TolR and Pal. Elimination of one of the five proteins may suffice, in which case the bacteria expresses only 4 of these proteins. Preferably, the BE2017 / 5855 TolR protein is eliminated, for example, by inactivation of the tolR gene of a starting strain. Thus, a preferred bacterium can be tolA + tolB + tolQ + TolRPal +. In some embodiments, the bacteria express the five Tol-Pal proteins, but at least one is mutated to cause hyper-budding. For example, the protein TolA, TolQ, TolR and / or Pal can be mutated in such a way that the protein retains its membrane localization but its interactions with the other members of the Tol-Pal system are disturbed. The bacteria will thus keep TolA, TolQ and TolR as transmembrane proteins in the internal membrane, and the Pal protein as lipoprotein facing the periplasm in the external membrane, but at least one of the proteins TolA, TolQ, TolR and / or Pal is mutated and not fully functional. In addition, other mutations may also be present, for example, to give OAg deficient strains, for example in those cases where the -OAg functionality is not expected for the desired immune response, or in these cases where 1 '-OAG may have a negative impact on immunogenicity against the heterologous antigen. In this direction, the possible mutations can be AgalU, AgalE or AwbaP in strains of E. coli, Shigella or Salmonella. In another preferred embodiment, a meningococcus does not express a functional MltA protein. Inactivation of MltA (lytic membrane-bound transglycosylase, also known as GNA33) in the meningococcus provides BE2017 / 5855 bacteria which spontaneously release large quantities of nOMV into the culture medium, from which they can be easily purified. For example, the vesicles can be purified using the two-step size filtration process, comprising: (i) a first filtration step in which the vesicles are separated from bacteria based on their different sizes, with the vesicles passing in the filtrate; and (ii) a second filtration step in which the vesicles are retained in the retentate. In the present invention, it is preferred that 1 -OAg is present on nOMVs because we have observed (for example, nOMVs originating from Salmonella and Shigella) that, the presence of 1'-OAg on the surface of said nOMVs is advantageous in providing a bivalent vaccine, since 1'-OAg can act as a protective antigen. Some preferred strains have a less toxic penta- or tetra-acylated LPS, which includes fixed 1'-OAg, after the mutation of msbB, htrB, ddg and / or PagP (see, for example, Rossi O et al., Clin Vaccine Immunol. April 4, 2016; 23 (4): 304-14 and Rossi O et al., J Biol Chem. September 5, 2014; 289 (36): 24922-35. In Neisseria, the strain preferably includes a modified fur gene. According to this embodiment, the mutant Neisseria are modified to reduce or deactivate the expression of at least one gene involved in rendering the lipid A part of the LPS toxic, in particular of the lpxll gene. In this way, the resulting nOMVs exhibit reduced toxicity compared to the strain BE2017 / 5855 wild type, since the conversion of acylated lipid A into a less acylated form. Similarly, the preferred Neisseria mutants for the invention are modified to reduce or deactivate the expression of at least one gene involved in the synthesis or export of capsular saccharides, in particular the synX and / or ctrA genes. In this way, the resulting nOMVs can exhibit cross-protection against various serotypes, which is particularly appreciated by those skilled in the art.

The group A Streptococcus (GAS), group B Streptococcus (GBS) and Pneumococcus antigens are also equally preferred. As nonlimiting examples, the antigens GAS25 (Slo), GAS40 (SpyAD) and GAS57 (SpyCEP) can be incorporated into conjugates in accordance with certain embodiments of the invention. Plasmodium antigens are also preferred. These can come from any suitable species, where the preferred species are chosen from: P. falciparum, P. vivax and P. ovale. Yet another preferred antigen is Pfs25 (SEQ ID NO: 10), which is an antigen of the sexual stage of P. falciparum expressed on the surface of the zygote and akinetic forms of the parasite. Another preferred antigen is Pfs48 / 45, which is a candidate vaccine that blocks transmission. Recently, the C-terminal fragment of 10 cysteines (10C) from Pfs48 / 45, containing three epitopes known for antibodies blocking transmission, was produced in the form of a chimera with the N-terminal part of GLURP (RO) , the protein rich in antigen glutamate from the asexual blood stage. The resulting fusion protein (RO10C) triggered high levels of transmission blocking antibodies in rodents (see, Theisen et al. (2014) Vaccine 32: 2623-2630). Shing et al. (2015) Vaccine 33: 1981-1986 describe a chimera containing truncated fragments of 6C, which BE2017 / 5855 increases the yield of the correctly folded conformère. The RO6C construct was able to trigger a high titer of transmission blocking antibodies in rats RO6C (SEQ ID NO: 11) is a preferred antigen which can be conjugated according to the present invention. Another preferred antigen is the circumsporozoite protein (CSP; SEQ ID NO: 12). Shorter peptides from CSP can also be conjugated according to the present invention. For example, the 12 amino acid peptide (NANPH (SEQ ID NO: 13) derived from CSP can be used according to preferred embodiments. In yet another preferred embodiment, the antigens are a species of saccharide. The invention is in fact also suitable for conjugating one or more saccharide antigens to nOMVs, whereby the saccharides can be used in their natural full-length form. As a variant, a fraction of a particular size can also be advantageously chosen. Thus, saccharides can be fragmented from their natural length, and optionally a size fraction of these fragments can be used. Even further, saccharides are not limited to saccharides purified from natural sources and synthetic or semi-synthetic saccharides can be used instead. Preferred saccharide antigens are bacterial capsular saccharides (PSCs). These include, but are not limited to, the capsular saccharides selected from at least one of: Haemophilus BE2017 / 5855 in fluenzae of type B; Neisseria meningitidis of serogroups AT, C, W135, X and Y; Streptococcus pneumoniae of the serotypes 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9N, 9V, 10A , 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 17F, 18C, 19A, 19F, 20, 22F, 23F, and 33F; Salmonella including Salmonella enterica serovar typhi Vi, either full length or fragmented (indicated by fVi); Streptococcus agalactiae of serotypes la, Ib, and III; Streptococcus pyogenes, Shigella sp., Group A and B Streptococcus (GAS and GBS respectively). The more preferred saccharide antigens are from Neisseria meningitidis of serogroups A and C. Thus, according to one embodiment of the invention, the nOMV is a GMMA derived from MenB, and the antigen chosen is a capsular saccharide originating from MenA or MenC . In a still further embodiment, the invention relates to a GMMA originating from MenB conjugated to a capsular saccharide originating from the MenA antigen via a polysaccharide residue, in which said GMMA is also conjugated to a MenC antigen via a different polysaccharide residue, thereby obtaining a double functionalized GMMA vesicle, as described below in more detail. In all cases, and as mentioned above, the antigens chosen can be conjugated to nOMVs derived from the same bacterial strain and even from a different bacterial strain, thus providing a multivalent conjugate. In this regard, in a more preferred embodiment of the invention, the nOMV and the saccharide antigen are derived from different bacterial strains. BE2017 / 5855 Other preferred saccharide antigens are ß-glucans, which are particularly useful for protection against C. albicans (for general reference, see Sandlin et al. (1995) Infect. Immun., 63: 229-37). Other preferred saccharide antigens are poly-rhamnose oligosaccharides for protection against group A Streptococcus (GAS). The native GAS saccharide has a poly-rhamnose backbone substituted with NAcGlcN. Synthetic polyrhamnose oligosaccharides, or oligomers with the structure of the native GAS saccharide, can be conjugated to nOMVs according to the invention. According to a preferred embodiment, the nOMV conjugates of the invention comprise a surface saccharide fraction of nOMV directly connected to a chosen antigen, where direct connection can be obtained by activation of the saccharide fraction followed by a direct reaction ( for example, via a reductive amination) with the selected antigen, as illustrated in this example 4. In an equally preferred embodiment, the nOMV is connected to the selected antigen indirectly, that is to say, via a linker fraction, as described here in more detail and as illustrated in Example 3. The conjugates of the invention are immunogenic, as demonstrated by studies in mice and supported by the experimental part included here. Advantageously, apart from being capable of inducing an immune response against the conjugated antigen, the conjugates of the invention are also capable BE2017 / 5855 to induce an immune response against the nOMV component, thus being good candidates for the preparation of a multivalent immunogenic composition thereof. In fact, it has surprisingly been observed that the conjugation of the antigens chosen via the saccharide fraction present on the surface of nOMVs does not have a negative impact on the ability of nOMVs to induce their own immune response, unlike dOMV. Therefore, the conjugates of the invention may be useful, for example, as a bivalent immunogenic agent, suitable for the preparation of vaccines, with nOMV and the heterologous conjugate antigen both having good immunogenicity. In addition, it has been advantageously discovered that the conjugates of the invention induce a high response in specific anti-antigen IgG in mice, without any impact on the response of anti-OAg IgG, as it is supported for example in the present Examples 5 and 6. The conjugates of the invention offer several other advantages compared to the non-conjugated antigens, as is presented for example in Examples 3 to 6. As previously presented, in another aspect, the invention relates to a process for the preparation of the conjugates described above, comprising a first step of activation of a surface saccharide fraction of nOMVs, and a second step of connection of the activated vesicle thus obtained to at least one selected antigen, possibly via a bivalent linker. BE2017 / 5855 According to the present method, at least one saccharide fraction on a nOMV is conjugated to a selected antigen (as described above) to form a conjugate of the invention. According to a different embodiment, two or more saccharide fractions are conjugated to two or more different selected antigens, thus providing a nOMV derivative conjugated with two or more different antigens, which is particularly suitable for the preparation of polyvalent immunogenic compositions. As indicated above, the connection step generally involves activation of the surface saccharide fraction of the nOMVs and / or of the chosen antigen. Similarly, the connection step may involve the introduction of a linker between the saccharide fraction of the nOMVs and the selected antigen, as detailed below. Thus, in one embodiment, the method of the invention comprises the following steps: (i) activation of a saccharide fraction on the surface of the nOMVs; and (ii) direct connection of the activated fraction with a selected antigen, to obtain the nOMV conjugates of the invention As an alternative embodiment, the method of the invention comprises the following steps: (i) activating a saccharide fraction on the surface of nOMVs; (ii) connecting the activated fraction to a bivalent linker group to form a vesicle-linker conjugate; and (iii) connecting a selected antigen to the vesicle-linker conjugate to form the nOMV conjugates of the invention. BE2017 / 5855 As another alternative embodiment, the method of the invention comprises the following steps: (i) activation of a saccharide fraction on the surface of the nOMVs; (ii) connecting a selected antigen to a bivalent linker group to form an antigen-linker conjugate; and (iii) connecting the activated fraction from step (i) to the antigen-linker conjugate to form the nOMV conjugates of the invention. As another alternative embodiment, the method of the invention comprises the following steps: (i) activation of a saccharide fraction on the surface of the nOMV; (ii) connecting the activated fraction to a bivalent linker group to form a vesicle-linker conjugate; (iii) connecting a selected antigen to a bivalent linker group to form an antigen-linker conjugate; and (iv) connecting the linker moiety from step (ii) to the antigen conjugate from step (iii) to form the nOMV conjugates of the invention. As long as the saccharide fraction of nOMV is considered, it should be noted that it can be part of the -OAg functionality, or of the region of the nucleus naturally present on the surface of the nOMV (for example, in LPS or LOS). , or it may be present in a different part of the surface of the nOMV, for example, a PSC. In all these preferred cases, the method of the invention allows the connection of said saccharide fraction with an antigen chosen in a simple and effective manner, thus leading to the conjugates of final nOMVs of the invention, endowed with a remarkable immunogenic activity. . Advantageously, BE2017 / 5855 the presence of 1'-OAg does not significantly interfere with the response against the selected antigen. Comparative Examples 9a-c show that when the present method is applied to dOMVs, no conjugation occurs with the antigen, thus preventing the formation of the desired vesicle-antigen conjugate. Depending on the species from which the nOMVs are prepared, various saccharide fractions (including tetraose, pentose and hexose sugars) can be used for activation and subsequent conjugation. Preferably, lipopolysaccharides, via the -OAg part or of the nucleus region, or capsular saccharides can be used for activation and subsequent conjugation. The preferred saccharide fractions are chosen from at least one of the : glucose, galactose, fructose, mannose, ribose, abéquose, galactosamine, glucosamine, mannosamine, sialic acid, suifoquinovose, erythrose, threose, arabinose, rhamnose, sorbose, ribulose, xylose, xylulose, lyxose, tagatose or keto-deoxy-octoxy. A saccharide fraction on the nOMV is preferably activated by oxidation of a hydroxyl group of the saccharide to form a carbonylated aldehyde functionality, in the presence of a suitable oxidizing agent, such as TEMPO or a period salt. The latter is preferably chosen from a periodate or an alkali metaperiodate, more preferably NaI04. The oxidizing agent is preferably used in the form of an aqueous solution in a concentration in the range of 0.5 mM to 20 mM, preferably 3 mM to 20 mM, where the concentrations of 10 to 20 mM and 0.5 to 5 mM or BE2017 / 5855 from 3 to 5 mM are even more preferred. Other activation reactions according to certain embodiments occur in the presence of: cyanylation reagents such as CDAP (for example, tetrafluoroborate 1-cyano-4-dimethylaminocarbodiimides, hydrazides, active esters, norborane, p-nitrobenzoic acid, N-hydroxysuccinimide, S-NHS, EDC and TSTU. In general, when the polysaccharides are oxidized, it is not necessary to oxidize all of the available sugars. Indeed, it may be desirable to conserve at least part of the structures of natural sugars, particularly when these have a useful antigen. It should also be noted constitute the fact that, because of the particular composition and conformation of the nOMVs as detailed above, the polysaccharide fraction can be activated in a practical manner by the present process leading to the formation of an intermediate species highly reactive oxidized nOMV. In a preferred embodiment, for a given saccharide fraction of interest, the proportion of oxidized residues can be in the range of to 100 to or from 20 to 35%, while the oxidation of within structure of -OAg is particularly preferred. In this direction, it has been discovered that said areas allow effective conjugation with a minor or substantially absent impact on the structural integrity of the -OAg. In addition, it was noted that a higher degree of oxidation of nOMV corresponds to a smaller size of 1'-OAg, which means that there is BE2017 / 5855 a major impact on the native structure of 1'-OAg and its ability to induce a specific immune response. The proportion of oxidized residues can be determined by high performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometry detection (HPAEC-PAD), by comparing the intact sugar residues of nOMV, just as the pH can influence the behavior. overall of the oxidation step, as for example it is indicated in the present example 2, table 2c. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the oxidizing agent is used in excess relative to the starting nOMV, where a molar excess of 3/1 or 2/1 relative to the number of monosaccharides which can be subjected to the oxidation is particularly preferred. The oxidizing agent is preferably used in the form of an aqueous solution in a concentration in the range of 0.5 mM to 20 mM, preferably 3 mM to 20 mM, where concentrations of 10 to 20 mM and 0.5 to 5 or 3 to 5 mM are even more preferred. The concentration of nOMV is preferably between 0.2 and 5 mg / ml. Preferably, the pH is between 4 and 8, while values of 5 and 7 are particularly preferred. In this way, the pH can be adjusted using a buffering agent, such as acetate / phosphate and the like. Said parameters can be fixed in a practical manner in order to obtain a preferred degree of oxidation of between 20% and 35% on the saccharide fraction subjected. This allows another effective conjugation with B E2017 / 5855 the selected antigen, without appreciable impact on the structure of the saccharide fraction. For example, Rha residues in an -OAg functionality can be oxidized, for example, 5 comm < 5 it is indic jué sur le diagram 2 below souusing Na 10. Diagram 2 The oxidation step is generally carried out at room temperature (for example, from about 15 ° C to about 40 ° C), for an appropriate time, for example between 30 min and 3 h, depending, for example, on the quantity and type of nOMV considered. In all cases, it was discovered that there was no significant crosslinking and / or aggregation of the nOMVs. This is of the utmost importance also for B E2017 / 5855 the effectiveness of the subsequent conjugation step with the selected antigen as described here in detail. After the oxidation, the nOMVs can optionally be subjected to a reduction step, for example with NaBH 3, to stabilize the oxidized nOMVs by elimination of the CHO groups formed * The stabilized oxidized nOMVs can then be stored and / or further characterized.

The modified fVi was then conjugated: to nOMVs of S. typhimurium oxidized using a reductive amination. When the fVi was activated randomly with .1 'A DH, a weight ratio fVi: on nOMV of .1 / 1 was used in the conjugation, while a weight ratio of 3/1 was used when the fVi has been derivatized at its end with DHA. The conjugates were characterized using the micro BCA / Lowry test to determine the. total protein content (recovery of nOMV); high performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperforetry detection (HPAÉC-PAD) was used to determine the total Vi content (no interference B E2017 / 5855 nOMV); high performance liquid chromatography-exclusion chromatography (HPLC-SEC using a gel column TSK 3000 PWxl) was used to estimate the% of free Vi using the differential refractive index (dRI) and the diffusion light dynamics-chromatography, high performance liquid-exclusion chromatography static light scattering from multiple angles (DLS / HPLÇ-SEC-MALS) was used to determine the size. The effect of the conjugation conditions of this conjugation process on the final number of fVi chains by nOMV was estimated by considering the data collected by HPAEC-PAD as well as the number of nOMVs by the analysis of individual monitoring of nanoparticles.

B E2017 / 5855 The pH and the degree of activation of fVi-ÀDH have been identified as variables for the modulation of the number of fVi chains linked by nOMV, Example 3a - Vi-nQMV conjugates of S. typhimuriiim (indirect conjugation via a linker) Conjugates 1 and 5 according to Table 3 above, having Vi / nOMV p / p ratios of 0.45 and 0.44 respectively were tested in mice. For comparison, CRM197 was also used as a carrier, and a simple mixture of fVi + nOMV was also tested. Mice were immunized subcutaneously on days 0 and 28 with the conjugates (dose of 1 μg of 15 Vi) and an adjuvant Alhydrogel. AntiVi IgG titers were measured on days 0, 14, 28 and 42, and the results are shown in Figure 2A. The nOMV was not lower than the CRM197, but it was significantly better than the unconjugated mixture. IgG titers against 1'-OAg were also estimated. FIG. 2B represents the anti-OAg titers for the vesicle alone or conjugated to Vi. Conjugation reduced the response to OAg by a small amount, but the responses remained significant. Example 4. - Conjugation step of nOMV-Ag (CTF1232 from ETECnOMV ..... from S. typhimuriurn AtolR 1418 or S. sonné! 1790; direct conjugation without linker) CTF1232 is an E antigen. collar! (SEQ ID NO: 14 3.0 with a C-teriainal marker for hexa-histidine which has been conjugated to the two types of nOMV vesicles. The polypeptide B E2017 / 5855 contains five residues of .lysine which can be used for binding to oxidized saccharides in vesicles. For conjugation to CTF1232, the vesicles were oxidized in 100 mM sodium acetate (pH. 5) with sodium periodate (20 mM for S. typhimuri um f 40 ràM for S. sonnei) for 2 hours in the dark at room temperature. Oxidation in S. typhimurium a. been preferential in the. ihamnose residues (Rha), with, approximately 30% of oxidized Rha units (calculated by 1Q compared to mannose). Oxidation in S. sonnei had an impact on the nucleus region of : LPS molecules. 500 pg of oxidized vesicles (measured proteins) from nOMV or from S. typhimurium ûtolR 141.8 or S. sonnei 1790 were reacted with 500 pg of CTF12 32 with 1 to 2 mg of NaBlMCN at room temperature over a weekend. Based on the quantification of the antigen which did not react after conjugation, Here presence of the antigen on the surface of the nOMV was calculated as being <36% âaiis S typhimurium and <31% in S. sonnei. The results showed that the chemistry of the reductive amination is suitable for the conjugation of polypeptide antigens to the vesicles. The CTF1232 antigen was conjugated to the oxidized LPS of the two vesicles. Mice were immunized with the protein alone, a mix of. protein ne and nOMV of Shigella r or the conjugates. The adjùvar it Alhydrogel was used in all groups. Will read them ammunition were administered even intranasal route e two days 0, 21 e- t 38 and the immune responses were estimated on days 0,: 14, B E2017 / 5855 and 52. The anti-CTFl232 IgG titers are presented in FIG. 3. On day 14, the nOMV 1418-CTF1232 conjugate was able to induce a significantly superior response to the protein alone (p ~ 0.0.005) or physically mixed with nOMV (p - 0.042) (KruskalWallis test with post analysis -hoc de Dunn). In addition to improving anti-CTF1232 titers, the conjugate had the additional benefit of being a bivalent XQ vaccine. No major differences were observed between the nOMV 1790-CTF1232 and nOMV 1418CTF12 32 conjugates, meaning that the nOMVs of both Salmonella and Shigella can function as good carriers for the ETEC antigen. Example 5 - Conjugation step of nOMV-Ag (conjugation of P f s 2 5 -nOMV of S. typhimurium in the presence of NagSOa), The malaria antigen Pfs25 has been conjugated to the nOMV vesicles of S. typhimurium by two different chemistries: to proteins via SH-maleirnido or chiral click ƒ groups or to OAg oxidized by 'NalOi, · For the binding to oxidized 1'OAg, a 1/1 ratio of nOMV / Pfs25 was used, at a Pfs25 concentration of 2.6 mg / ml in PBS with overnight incubation at room temperature. Conjugate formation was also obtained when excess NaI0 4 was neutralized with. NaaSCb (a concentration of 10 mM was used in this experiment, for 10 minutes), this followed by the direct addition of Pfs2.5 30 in the same container (final concentration of 0.2 mg / ml). FIG. 4A represents the IgG titers B E2017 / 5855 ànt-i-Pfs.25 éii reply to: the three conjugates; Pfs.25 alone; or Pfs25 physically mixed with the vesicles. All constructions were formulated with Alhydrogel. The mice were immunized subcutaneously on days 0 and 28 at 0.1 µg of Pfs25 / dose. The anti-Pfs25 IgG titers were measured on days 0, 14, 28 and 42, Pfs25 alone induced an antibody response Anti-Pfs25 IgG significantly lower than the 10 nOMV-SH-Pfs25 conjugates (p ~ 0.001) and nOMV-ox-Pfs25 (p = 0.00 95). Pfs25 physically mixed with nOMV similarly induced a lower response compared to nOMV-SH-Pfs25 and nOMV-ox ~ Pfs25 (p ~ 0.0038 and p :::: 0.0282 respectively J (Kruskal15 test Wallis with post-hoc analysis of Dunn). In a way Here Pfs25 linked by The intermediary of the sugar component on nOMV (nOMV-ox-Pfs25 conjugate) induced an antibody response similar to Pfs25 bound to proteins on nOMV (nOMV-SH-Pfs25 and nOMV20 ciick-Pfs25) and higher than the Pfs25 alone or physically mixed with nOMV. Sera from Pfs25-nOMV conjugates showed transmission blocking activity when analyzed by the SFMA test (standard 25 membrane-feeding assay; transmission reduction activity> 90% at 1: 1 dilution). 8 and maintained at a 1/16 dilution for nQMV-SH-Pfs25 and nOMVox-Pfs2 5). Binding to Pfs25 on nOMVs had no impact on the anti-OAg IgG response. In addition, the conjugate obtained by reductive amination, where the chemistry B E2017 / 5855 used has an impact on the structure and the length of the -OAg, maintained high titers of anti-OAg IgG "Consequently, the presence of a foreign antigen on the nOMV of S. typhiraurium. has no impact on anti-OAg IgG responses (see Figure 4C). In a second study, the immunogenicity of the Pfs25-nOMV conjugate (produced by reductive amination) was compared with Pts2.b physically mixed with nOMV at a dose of 1 μg of Pfs25 without Alhydrogel. FIG. 4B represents the antiPfs25 IgG response induced in mice by the Pfs25-nOMV conjugate compared to Pfs25 physically mixed with nOMVs without Alhydrogel, using the same immunization schedule as for FIG. 4A. The conjugate was able to elicit a response by Anti-Pfs25 IgG significantly superior to the protein mixed with the nOMVs (p = 0.0002; bilateral Mann-Whitney analysis). Example 6 - Conjugates RO6C-nOMV of S. typhimurium (recycling step) The Plasmodium R6 antigen was conjugated to oxidized nOMV vesicles of S. typhimurium using reducing amination. Another conjugate was : produced by recycling the unreacted RO6C from the first conjugation batch and reusing it for conjugation. The ratio of RO6C to total protein was measured by a competitive ELISA test, and it was 7.2% for the non-recycled conjugate and 11.1% for the recycled conjugate. For comparison, the RO6C alone B E2017 / 5855 at. been used. All; constructs were formulated with Alhydrogel. Mice were immunized subcutaneously on days 0 and 28, and doses of 1, 4 and 20 µg of RO6C 5 were used. The recycled conjugate was tested at a dose of .4 pg of RO6C. Anti-R06C IgG titers were measured on days 0, 14, 28 and 42, and the results are shown in Figure SA. On day 42, a higher anti-R06'C IgG response was induced by the nOMV-RO6C conjugate compared to RO6C alone (MannWhitney test, p · - 0.05 at a dose of 1 pg, p = 0, 03 at a dose of 4 pg and p - 0.04 at a dose of 20 pg). In addition, the nOMV-RO6C conjugate elicited an antiRQ6C IgG response in a dose-dependent manner (Spearman rank, 15 p === 0.001, day 42). All constructs (at all doses) showed the ability to stimulate the response (day 14 to day 42). The non-recycled and recycled conjugates at a dose of 4 μg were compared by the bilateral Mann-Whitney test, showing the capacity of the recycled conjugate to induce a response which is not less than the non-recycled. The titers of IgG directed against OAg were also estimated. FIG. SB represents the titers of anti-OAg IgG for non-recycled and recycled vesicles. The doses of the nOMVs corresponding to the doses of RO6C of 1, 4 and 20 pg were 13 pg, 52 pg and 258 pg, respectively. For the recycled conjugate, the dose of nOMV was 32 pg (corresponding to a dose of R06C of 4 pg).
