ChAdOx1 and MVA expressing each antigen were cloned using GeneArt Technology (ThermoFisher Scientific, UK). Four mammalian codon-optimised antigens (fasD1, fasD2, glfT2, iniB) and flanked by a Kozak consensus sequence, a tPA leader sequence, a GS linker at the 5′-end and a PK tag, Histidine tag and STOP codon at the 3′ end, were cloned into a GeneArt entry vector and then recombined into ChAdOx1 or MVA destination plasmids as previously described.63 (link),64 (link) ChAdOx1 and MVA expressing Ag85A and PPE15 were produced as previously described.24 (link),25 Construct sequences are available upon request.
