Immune responses against Schistosoma japonicum after vaccinating mice with a multivalent DNA vaccine encoding integrated membrane protein Sj23 and cytokine interleukin-12

Background The vaccination of mice with DNA encoding single candidate antigens has failed to induce significant protection against Schistosoma japonicum ( S. japonicum) challenge infections. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of using a multivalent DNA vaccine which co-expressed S.japonicum integral membrane protein Sj23 and murine cytokine IL-12 to induce protective immune responses.Methods The plasmid pVIVO2-IL12-Sj23, a eukaryotic expression vector expressing Sj23 and murine IL-12 simultaneously, was constructed, identified, and tested for expression in vitro. Its ability to protect against S. japonicum challenge infections was analyed according to worm reduction rate and egg reduction rate after vaccination of BALB/c mice. The serum levels of specific IgG antibody were determined by enzyme-linked-immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot analysis. Using cultured spleen cells, IFN-γ and IL-4 post-stimulation were quantified by ELISA. The phenotypes of splenocyte populations were analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM).Results The plasmid DNA pVIVO2-IL12-Sj23 was proven to express well in vitro by transient transfection of HEK-293 cells. Immunization resulted in a worm reduction rate of 45. 53% and egg reduction rate of 58.35%. ELISA and Western blot analysis indicated that immunized mice generated specific IgG against Sj23. Spleen cells showed significant increases in IFN-γ but decreases in IL-4.No significant differences in CD4^ and CD8^ subgroup ratios were observed after the challenges.Conclusions The multivalent DNA vaccine pVIVO2-1L12-Sj23 is sufficient to elicit moderate but highly significant levels of protective immunity against challenge infections. Cytokine IL-12, as a gene adjuvant, was able to enhance the Thl responses and, hence, the protective immunity.

Single splenocyte suspension was prepared to detected the level of IFN-T by ELISA and the lymphocyte stimulating index （SI） by MTT. SI was significantly higher of in the plRES-Sj97-Sj 14-Sj26 group than in other groups （P〈 0.01）, while the IFN-T level was significantly higher the plRES-Sj97-Sj 14-Sj26 group than in plRES blank vector and normal saline groups （P〈0.01）, but no significant differences were found when compared with plRES-Sj 14-Sj26 and plRES-Sj26 groups. Flow cytometery showed that the percentages of CD4＋ and CD8＋ T cells were much higher in the plRES-Sj97-Sj 14-Sj26 group （P〈 0.01, P〈0.05）.
