The development of a vaccine is a key strategy to combat the widespread and debilitating effects of chlamydial infection in koalas. One such vaccine in development uses recombinant chlamydial major outer membrane protein (rMOMP) as an antigen and has shown promising results in several koala trials. Previous chlamydial vaccine studies, primarily in the mouse model, suggest that both cell-mediated and antibody responses will be required for adequate protection. Recently, the important protective role of antibodies has been highlighted. In our current study, we conducted a detailed analysis of the antibody-mediated immune response in koalas that are either (a) naturally-infected, and/or (b) had received an rMOMP vaccine. Firstly, we observed that naturally-infected koalas had very low levels of Chlamydia pecorum-specific neutralising antibodies. A strong correlation between low IgG total titers/neutralising antibody levels, and higher C. pecorum infection load was also observed in these naturally-infected animals. In vaccinated koalas, we showed that the vaccine was able to boost the humoral immune response by inducing strong levels of C. pecorum-specific neutralising antibodies. A detailed characterisation of the MOMP epitope response was also performed in naturally-infected and vaccinated koalas using a PepScan epitope approach. This analysis identified unique sets of MOMP epitope antibodies between naturally-infected non-protected and diseased koalas, versus vaccinated koalas, with the latter group of animals producing a unique set of specific epitope-directed antibodies that we demonstrated were responsible for the in vitro neutralisation activity. Together, these results show the importance of antibodies in chlamydial infection and immunity following vaccination in the koala. 相似文献

In our previous studies we established fusogenic properties of lipids isolated from edible yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae). We demonstrated that liposomes prepared from S. cerevisiae membrane lipid (saccharosome) can deliver encapsulated antigen into cytosol of the antigen presenting cells and elicit antigen specific cell mediated as well as humoral immune responses. In this study, we evaluated immunological behavior of saccharosome encapsulated cytosolic proteins (sAg) of Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis in BALB/c mice. Immunization with antigen (sAg) encapsulated in saccharosome resulted in enhancement of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell populations and also up-regulated the expression of CD80 and CD86 molecules on the surface of antigen presenting cells. Further, immunization with saccharosome-encapsulated sAg-induced elevated levels of both IFN-gamma and IL-4 cytokines in the immunized mice when compared to egg PC liposome encapsulated sAg or its IFA emulsified form. Saccharosome-mediated immunization resulted in induction of high level of total antibody response with preponderance of IgG2a isotype as well. The data of this study suggest that saccharosome-based vehicle can emerge as an effective vaccine in imparting protection against various intracellular pathogens including Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis. 相似文献

Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses have been circulating throughout the world since the 2009 pandemic. A/California/07/2009 (H1N1) virus was included in seasonal influenza vaccines for seven years altogether, providing a great opportunity to analyse vaccine-induced immunity in relation to the postpandemic evolution of the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. Serum antibodies against various epidemic strains of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses were measured among health care workers (HCWs) by haemagglutination inhibition and microneutralization tests before and after 2010 and 2012 seasonal influenza vaccinations. We detected high responses of vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies to six distinct genetic groups. Our results indicate antigenic similarity between vaccine and circulating A(H1N1)pdm09 strains, and substantial vaccine-induced immunity against circulating epidemic viruses. 相似文献

ObjectiveObesity is associated with alterations in intestinal microbiota and immunity. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of probiotic Lactobacillus casei CRL 431 administration on intestinal and humoral immune response, clinical parameters, and gut microbiota was evaluated using a high-fat diet to induce obesity in a mouse model.MethodsAdult mice received a conventional balanced diet or a high-fat diet supplemented with milk, milk fermented by Lactobacillus casei (FM), L. casei as suspension, or water over 60 d. Histology of liver and small intestine (SI), immunoglobulin A-positive cells and macrophages in SI, phagocytic activity of spleen and peritoneal macrophages, and humoral immune response to ovalbumin were studied. Clinical parameters in serum and gut microbiota were also analyzed.ResultsFM was the most effective supplement for decreasing body weight and clinical parameters in serum. The histology of liver and SI was also improved in obese mice given FM. These animals had increased numbers of immunoglobulin A-positive cells and macrophages in SI. The gut microbiota showed that obese mice given probiotics had increased Bacteroides and bifidobacteria. Administration of FM or L. casei as suspension enhanced the phagocytic activity of macrophages. The anti-ovalbumin specific immune response was not increased by any supplement assayed.ConclusionAdministration of probiotics to obese hosts improved the gut microbiota and the mucosal immunity altered by obesity, down-regulated some biochemical parameters in blood associated with metabolic syndrome, and decreased liver steatosis. These results demonstrate the potential use of probiotics in obese individuals to decrease the body weight and to improve the biochemical and immunologic parameters altered by obesity. 相似文献

A mouse model was used to determine if protective immunity to influenza A virus infection differs between the sexes. The median lethal dose of H1N1 or H3N2 was lower for naïve females than males. After a sublethal, primary infection with H1N1 or H3N2, females and males showed a similar transient morbidity, but females generated more neutralizing and total anti-influenza A virus antibodies. Immunized males and females showed similar protection against secondary challenge with a homologous virus, but males experienced greater morbidity and had higher lung viral titers after infection with a lethal dose of heterologous virus. Females develop stronger humoral immune responses and greater cross protection against heterosubtypic virus challenge. 相似文献

The current study was undertaken to explore the correlation of adjuvanticity and local inflammatory response elicited in the murine vagina and the draining lymph nodes following local administration of two candidate vaginal adjuvants, Toll like receptor (TLR) 9 agonist CpG ODN, and a non-TLR targeting molecule α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer). Using real-time PCR array analysis, we could show that a group of 13 common cytokine genes are activated in the vagina within 24 h after vaginal administration of these adjuvants, including Ccl2, Ccl7, Ccl12, Ccl19, Ccl20, Ccl22, Cxcl1, Cxcl5, Il10 and the Th1-inducing molecules Ifng, Cxcl9, Cxcl10 and Cxcl11. A high degree of inflammation in and damage to the epithelium was exclusively observed in the vagina of the CpG ODN treated mice, which was reversed within 48 h. These results indicate that there is a group of common genes that correlate with the adjuvanticity of CpG ODN and α-GalCer in the vagina, and that α-GalCer induces less of local inflammatory reactions in the murine vagina compared to CpG ODN. 相似文献

Development of an influenza vaccine that provides cross-protective immunity remains a challenge. Candidate vaccines based on a recombinant modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) viral vector expressing antigens from influenza (MVA/Flu) viruses were constructed. A vaccine candidate, designated MVA/HA1/C13L/NP, that expresses the hemagglutinin from pandemic H1N1 (A/California/04/09) and the nucleoprotein (NP) from highly pathogenic H5N1 (A/Vietnam/1203/04) fused to a secretory signal sequence from vaccinia virus was highly protective. The vaccine elicited strong antibody titers to homologous H1N1 viruses while cross-reactive antibodies to heterologous viruses were not detectable. In mice, this MVA/HA1/C13L/NP vaccine conferred complete protection against lethal challenge with A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1), A/Norway/3487-2/09 (pandemic H1N1) or A/Influenza/Puerto Rico/8/34 (seasonal H1N1) and partial protection (57.1%) against challenge with seasonal H3N2 virus (A/Aichi/68). The protective efficacy of the vaccine was not affected by pre-existing immunity to vaccinia. Our findings highlight MVA as suitable vector to express multiple influenza antigens that could afford broad cross-protective immunity against multiple subtypes of influenza virus. 相似文献

Ticks deposit salivary proteins into the skin during a bite to mediate acquisition of a blood meal. Acquired resistance to tick bites has been demonstrated to prevent Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) transmission. However, the mechanism of resistance, as well as the protective antigens, have remained elusive. To address these unknowns, we utilized a guinea pig model of tick resistance and a mouse model of permissiveness. Guinea pigs developed immunity after multiple Ixodes scapularis tick infestations, characterized by rapid tick detachment and impaired feeding. In comparison, mice tolerated at least 6 infestations with no significant impact on feeding. We analyzed the bite sites by RNA-sequencing and histology, identifying several inflammatory pathways in tick immune animals, such as FcεRI signaling and complement activation, and activation of coagulation pathways that could impair local blood flow. Together, these results identify important pathways altered during tick rejection and potential tick proteins that could serve as vaccine candidates. 相似文献

Electroporation (EP)-assisted DNA vaccination has been proven effective as an approach to the treatment of cancer. Although heparanase (HPA) is a potential target for patients with advanced tumor diseases, the efficacy of immunotherapeutic strategies targeting HPA has never been evaluated. In this study, humoral immunity was elicited using genetic vaccinations between C57BL/6J mice and Macaca fascicularis. The immunized serum neutralized HPA activity and attenuated the invasion of B16 cells in vitro. In addition, T lymphocytes from the splenic cells of the immunized mice induced HPA-specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs), which verified cytoimmunity. Prophylactic vaccination significantly suppressed tumor growth and metastasis in vivo and prolonged the survival rate in tumor-bearing murine models. In addition, RT-PCR and Western blot analyses of the primary tumors indicated less proliferation and angiogenesis and more apoptosis in the HPA-immunization immunotherapy groups. Simultaneously, the levels of IL-2, IL-4, and IFN-γ were not significantly greater in the HPA-immunized group than in PBS controls. Thus, we conclude that the combination of an anti-HPA antibody and a CTL response in HPA-immunization gene therapy is enough to attenuate tumor growth and metastasis. This is the first time that a DNA vaccine targeting HPA immunization assisted by EP has induced humoral immunity and cytoimmunity in vivo. This provides a basis for the continued development of DNA vaccines targeting HPA and the use of such vaccines in clinical settings. 相似文献

A vaccine for Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is not currently available. To obtain the fundamental data in animals for vaccine development, KSHV particles were immunized to Balb/c mice through intraperitoneal and intranasal routes in the present study. Intranasal immunization with KSHV induced IgA to KSHV in not only serum, but also nasal wash fluid and saliva. A neutralization assay using recombinant KSHV that expressed green fluorescent protein revealed that nasal wash fluid and saliva from the KSHV-immunized mice neutralized KSHV infection to human embryonic kidney 293 cells in vitro in a dose-dependent manner to KSHV copies immunized. The serum and nasal wash fluid of KSHV-encoded K8.1 protein-immunized mice neutralized KSHV infection to 293 cells in vitro. These data suggest a possibility of mucosal vaccine for prophylaxis of KSHV infection. 相似文献
