Intranasal vaccination with chitosan-DNA nanoparticles expressing pneumococcal surface antigen a protects mice against nasopharyngeal colonization by Streptococcus pneumoniae

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a respiratory pathogen, and mucosal immune response plays a significant role in the defense against pneumococcal infections. Thus, intranasal vaccination may be an alternative approach to current immunization strategies, and effective delivery systems to mucosal organism are necessary. In this study, BALB/c mice were immunized intranasally with chitosan-DNA nanoparticles expressing pneumococcal surface antigen A (PsaA). Compared to levels in mice immunized with naked DNA or chitosan-pVAX1, anti-PsaA IgG antibody in serum and anti-IgA antibody in mucosal lavages were elevated significantly in mice immunized with chitosan-psaA. The balanced IgG1/IgG2a antibody ratio in serum, enhanced gamma interferon (IFN-γ) and IL-17A levels in spleen lymphocytes, and mucosal washes of mice immunized with chitosan-psaA suggested that cellular immune responses were induced. Furthermore, significantly fewer pneumococci were recovered from the nasopharynx of mice immunized with chitosan-psaA than for the control group following intranasal challenge with ATCC 6303 (serotype 3). These results demonstrated that mucosal immunization with chitosan-psaA may successfully generate mucosal and systemic immune responses and prevent pneumococcal nasopharyngeal colonization. Hence, a chitosan-DNA nanoparticle vaccine expressing pneumococcal major immunodominant antigens after intranasal administration could be developed to prevent pneumococcal infections.     

Intradermal Delivery of Recombinant Vaccinia Virus Vector DIs Induces Gut‐Mucosal Immunity

Antigen‐specific mucosal immunity is generally induced by the stimulation of inductive mucosal sites. In this study, we found that the replication‐deficient vaccinia virus vector, DIs, generates antigen‐specific mucosal immunity and systemic responses. Following intradermal injection of recombinant DIs expressing simian immunodeficiency virus gag (rDIsSIVgag), we observed increased levels of SIV p27‐specific IgA and IgG antibodies in faecal extracts and plasma samples, and antibody‐forming cells in the intestinal mucosa and spleen of C57BL/6 mice. Antibodies against p27 were not detected in nasal washes, saliva, and vaginal washes. The enhanced mucosal and systemic immunity persisted for 1 year of observation. Induction of Gag‐specific IFN‐γ spot‐forming CD8⁺ T cells in the spleen, small intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes, and submandibular lymph nodes was observed in the intradermally injected mice. Heat‐inactivated rDIsSIVgag rarely induced antigen‐specific humoral and T‐helper immunity. Moreover, rDIsSIVgag was detected in MHC class II IA antigen‐positive (IA⁺) cells at the injection site. Consequently, intradermal delivery of rDIs effectively induces antigen‐specific humoral and cellular immunity in gut‐mucosal tissues of mice. Our data suggest that intradermal injection of an rDIs vaccine may be useful against mucosally transmitted pathogens.     

Induction of Systemic and Mucosal Immune Responses Following Immunization with Somatostatin-Avidin Complexes Incorporated Into Iscoms

Synthetic, biotinylated somatostatin-14 (Somatotropin Release-Inhibiting Factor; SRIF) was conjugated to avidin, and the resulting complex incorporated into immune-stimulating complexes (ISCOMS). The ISCOMS were used to study the systemic and mucosal immune responses induced by parenteral and gastrointestinal vaccination. Mice were immunized by intraperitoneal (IP) and intragastric (IG) routes and subsequently by either IP or IG secondary immunizations (groups-IP/IP; IP/IG; IG/IG). Antigen specific IgG and IgA antibody secreting cells (ASC) from the spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) and Peyer's patches (PP's) were studied by an enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT). Specific proliferative responses of spleen cells to avidin and to SRIF were measured.

Immunization IP/IP evoked the highest serum IgG levels to avidin and to SRIF as well as the highest numbers of splenic IgG isotype ASC. The greatest IgA response in MLN and PP's was induced by IP/IG immunization. Only marginal mucosal immunity and no splenic cell specific proliferative responses were found by IG/IG immunization.

These results indicate that ISCOMS are an effective delivery system for protein-peptide antigens. The ISCOMS system described elicited systemic and mucosal antibody immune responses, and primed specific proliferative response when administered IP/IG. This offers another approach for the design and delivery of mucosally administered peptide vaccines.     

Large-scale monitoring of host cell gene expression during HIV-1 infection using cDNA microarrays

In this report, we described induction of HIV envelope (env)-specific systemic and mucosal immune responses by oral vaccination of BALB/c mice with env-encoded plasmid DNA encapsulated in poly(dl-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) microparticles. We demonstrated that intragastric administration of the encapsulated plasmid DNA resulted in transduced expression of the env glycoprotein in the intestinal epithelium. Mice immunized orally exhibited env-specific type 1 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses in spleen and the inductive (Peyer's patches) and effector (lamina propria) mucosal tissues of gut. Oral administration of PLG-encapsulated plasmid DNA encoding gp160 also induced env-specific serum antibodies, and an increased level of IgA directed to gp160 was detected in fecal washes of the immunized mice. In contrast, intramuscular (i.m.) administration of naked or PLG-encapsulated DNA vaccine induced only systemic cellular and humoral responses to the env glycoprotein. Using an HIV env-expressing recombinant vaccinia viral intrarectal murine challenge system, we observed higher resistance to mucosal viral transmission in mice immunized orally than in animals injected i.m. with PLG-encapsulated plasmid DNA encoding gp160. Results of these studies demonstrate the feasibility of using orally delivered PLG microparticles containing plasmid DNA-encoded HIV gp160 for induction of env-specific systemic and mucosal immune responses and protection against recombinant HIV env vaccinia virus challenge.     

Enhanced immunity and protective efficacy against SIVmac251 intrarectal challenge following ad-SIV priming by multiple mucosal routes and gp120 boosting in MPL-SE

Previously, 39% of rhesus macaques primed orally, intranasally, and intratracheally with adenovirus (Ad)-simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) recombinants and boosted with gp120 in monophosphoryl lipid A-stable emulsion (MPL-SE) remained aviremic or cleared or controlled viremia at the threshold of detection following SIV(mac251) intrarectal challenge (Study B). In contrast, no macaques primed orally and intranasally with Ad-SIV recombinants and boosted with gp120 in Quillaja Saponaria-21 exhibited undetectable viremia post-challenge (Study A). We conducted a detailed comparison of the studies to elucidate the effect of different vaccine regimens on induced immunity associated with the different challenge outcomes. Quantitative viral load comparisons were statistically analyzed. All immune responses were assessed at identical timepoints post-immunization, and cellular immunity was re-evaluated on cryopreserved cells from Study B macaques to match Study A data acquired with frozen cells. Study B exhibited greater protective efficacy, increased levels of p11C and p54m tetramer positive cells and a trend toward enhanced interferon-gamma secreting cells in response to Env and Gag peptides, modestly enhanced serum neutralizing antibodies, and greater positivity in anti-gp120 rectal IgA and IgG antibodies. Study A macaques exhibited greater positivity in salivary IgA anti-gp120 antibodies. Thus, the vaccine regimen using oral-intranasal-intratracheal priming and protein boosting in MPL-SE was superior, eliciting greater protective efficacy against pathogenic SIV(mac251) and enhanced SIV-specific immunity, systemically and at rectal sites. The mechanism(s) by which binding antibodies, lacking neutralizing activity against the primary challenge virus, may contribute to protection requires further study.     

Construction and characterization of recombinant fowlpox virus coexpressing HIV-1(CN) gp120 and IL-2

The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has now become one of the most serious infectious disease in the world, the safe and effective AIDS vaccines would be the best tools to control the disease. Fowlpox virus has been studied recently as a potential vector for the delivery of heterologous vaccine antigen. In this study, a recombinant fowlpox virus coexpressing gp120 of Chinese prevalent HIV-1 strain and IL-2 was constructed and the cellular immune responses against HIV-1 gp120 in BALB/c mice were evaluated. Chinese vaccine strain 282E4 of fowlpox virus was used as the vector to construct the recombinant fowlpox virus (rFPV) coexpressing HIV-1 gp120 and IL-2 via homologous recombination, and the recombinant virus was identified by PCR and Western blotting. The specific DNA fragment was amplified by PCR from the genomes of rFPV. Western blotting analysis showed that HIV-1 gp120 and IL-2 was expressed not only in chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells infected by rFPV, but also in mammalian cells infected by rFPV. After the recombinant fowlpox virus was inoculated into BALB/c mice, specific CTL activities in the immunized mice were detected in the spleen. The results demonstrated that rFPV had good immunogenicity and could induce BALB/c mice to produce specific cellular immunity. IL-2 played a role of immunoadjuvant and enhanced the cellular immune response. The study provides the basis for the preparation of a Chinese vaccine candidate against HIV-1.
