乙型肝炎表面抗原-破伤风类毒素结合疫苗的制备及免疫学特性

目的 制备乙型肝炎(乙肝)表面抗原(HBsAg)与破伤风类毒素(TT)结合疫苗,并研究其免疫学特性.方法 TT经溴化氢活化后与己二酰肼形成TT-酰肼基衍生物,在碳二亚胺作用下与HBsAg共价结合.将结合物、HBsAg及乙肝疫苗免疫小鼠,并设生理盐水对照组,分别于7、14、21、28 d取血,应用化学发光法检测小鼠血清抗-HBs,于第7、28天应用酶联免疫斑点法(ELISPOT)检测脾单个核细胞(mouomlclear cells,MNC)分泌HBsAg特异性IFN-γ和IL-2能力.结果 成功制备了HBsAg-TT结合物,该结合物诱导抗-HBs阳转率及抗体滴度均较单独免疫HBsAg及乙肝疫苗组高,主要以IgG2a抗体为主,且分泌IFN-γ和IL-2的淋巴细胞数也显著增加.结论 用该方法 制备的HBsAg-TY结合疫苗,不仅可诱导较强的体液免疫,还可诱导以TH1应答为主的细胞免疫.

Preparation and immunological properties of hepatitis B virus surface antigen-tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine

Objective To prepare and study the immunogenicity of hepatitis B virus surface anti-gen (HBsAg)-tetanus toxoid (TT) conjugate vaccine. Methods Tr was activated by cyangen bromide and reacted with adipic acid dihydrazide, then HBsAg-TT conjugate was prepared by carbediimide. Conjugate, HBsAg or hepatitis B vaccine was injected subcutaneously into mice. Anti-HBsAg and HBsAg-specific T cell response elicited by these immunogens were assayed. Results New HBsAg-TT conjugate elicited higher levels of anti-HBsAg and HBsAg positive conversion rates after the immunization than did HBsAg alone or hepatitis B vaccine. Conjugate induced mesdy antibodies of the IgG2a subclass, while HBsAg alone or hepa-titis B vaccine mainly elicited anti-HBsAg in the IgG1 subclass. The number of IFN-γand IL-2 secreting T cells induced by conjugate was also significantly higher than that did by HBsAg or hepatitis B vaccine. Con-clusion This study indicated new HBsAg-TT conjugate can induce both stronger humoral and TH1 type of cellular immune response.
