We have previously shown that the adoptive transfer of splenocytes, isolated from mice immunized by infection with the paramyxovirus simian virus 5 (SV5), enhance the speed of clearance of SV5 from the lungs of immunodeficient mice; clearance is mediated primarily through CD8+ effector cells and not by serum neutralizing antibody (D.F. Young, R.E. Randall, J.A. Hoyle, and B.E. Souberbielle, J. Virol. 64:5403-5411, 1990). In this article we demonstrate that immunization of mice with solid matrix-antibody-antigen (SMAA) complexes also induces CD8+ effector cells that are responsible for clearing persistent SV5 infections in immunodeficient mice. The demonstration that immunization with SMAA complexes (an exogenous antigen) can induce class I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) suggests that that these cells may be responsible for virus clearance in vivo. This premise is supported indirectly by the observation that immunization with SMAA complexes was less efficient in inducing class I-restricted CTLs (as measured in vitro) than was infectious virus and that splenocytes isolated from mice immunized with SMAA complexes were also less efficient in clearing virus from lungs of immunodeficient mice than were splenocytes isolated from mice immunized by infection with virus. This was not because the SMAA complexes were generally less immunogenic than infectious virus, since mice immunized with SMAA complexes (which contained the HN protein of SV5) produced higher levels of neutralizing antibody than mice immunized with infectious virus. In the majority of experiments, fixed and killed suspensions of Staphylococcus aureus Cowan strain A were used as the solid matrix in the construction of SMAA complexes. However, in this article we present evidence that alum-antibody-antigen complexes are as immunogenic as S. aureus A-antibody-antigen complexes. These results suggest that the immunological reactivity of the solid matrix itself does not influence the intensity of the immune response to the antigens of interest in the SMAA complexes. The significance of these results for vaccine design are discussed. 相似文献

Severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice lack both functional T and B cells. These mice develop chronic rotavirus infection following an oral inoculation with the epizootic diarrhea of infant mice (EDIM) rotavirus. Reconstitution of rotavirus-infected SCID mice with T lymphocytes from immunocompetent mice allows an evaluation of a role of T-cell-mediated immunity in clearing chronic rotavirus infection. Complete rotavirus clearance was demonstrated in C.B-17/scid mice 7 to 9 days after the transfer of immune CD8+ splenic T lymphocytes from histocompatible BALB/c mice previously immunized intraperitoneally with the EDIM-w strain of murine rotavirus. The virus clearance mediated by T-cell transfer was restricted to H-2d-bearing T cells and occurred in the absence of rotavirus-specific antibody as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, neutralization, immunohistochemistry, and radioimmunoprecipitation. Temporary clearance of rotavirus was observed after the transfer of immune CD8+ T cells isolated from the intestinal mucosa (intraepithelial lymphocytes [IELs]) or the spleens of BALB/c mice previously infected with EDIM by the oral route. Chronic virus shedding was transiently eliminated 7 to 11 days after spleen cell transfer and 11 to 12 days after IEL transfer. However, recurrence of rotavirus infection was detected 1 to 8 days later in all but one SCID recipient receiving cells from orally immunized donors. The viral clearance was mediated by IELs that were both Thy1+ and CD8+. These data demonstrated that the clearance of chronic rotavirus infection in SCID mice can be mediated by immune CD8+ T lymphocytes and that this clearance can occur in the absence of virus-specific antibodies. 相似文献

Background
The development of novel influenza vaccines inducing a broad immune response is an important objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate live vaccines which induce both strong humoral and cell-mediated immune responses against the novel human pandemic H1N1 influenza virus, and to show protection in a lethal animal challenge model.Methodology/Principal Findings
For this purpose, the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of the influenza A/California/07/2009 (H1N1) strain (CA/07) were inserted into the replication-deficient modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) virus - a safe poxviral live vector – resulting in MVA-H1-Ca and MVA-N1-Ca vectors. These live vaccines, together with an inactivated whole virus vaccine, were assessed in a lung infection model using immune competent Balb/c mice, and in a lethal challenge model using severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice after passive serum transfer from immunized mice. Balb/c mice vaccinated with the MVA-H1-Ca virus or the inactivated vaccine were fully protected from lung infection after challenge with the influenza H1N1 wild-type strain, while the neuraminidase virus MVA-N1-Ca induced only partial protection. The live vaccines were already protective after a single dose and induced substantial amounts of neutralizing antibodies and of interferon-γ-secreting (IFN-γ) CD4- and CD8 T-cells in lungs and spleens. In the lungs, a rapid increase of HA-specific CD4- and CD8 T cells was observed in vaccinated mice shortly after challenge with influenza swine flu virus, which probably contributes to the strong inhibition of pulmonary viral replication observed. In addition, passive transfer of antisera raised in MVA-H1-Ca vaccinated immune-competent mice protected SCID mice from lethal challenge with the CA/07 wild-type virus.Conclusions/Significance
The non-replicating MVA-based H1N1 live vaccines induce a broad protective immune response and are promising vaccine candidates for pandemic influenza. 相似文献4.
Live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIVs) are effective in providing protection against influenza challenge in animal models and in preventing disease in humans. We previously showed that LAIVs elicit a range of immune effectors and that successful induction of pulmonary cellular and humoral immunity in mice requires pulmonary replication of the vaccine virus. An upper respiratory tract immunization (URTI) model was developed in mice to mimic the human situation, in which the vaccine virus does not replicate in the lower respiratory tract, allowing us to assess the protective efficacy of an H5N1 LAIV against highly pathogenic H5N1 virus challenge in the absence of significant pulmonary immunity. Our results show that, after one dose of an H5N1 LAIV, pulmonary influenza-specific lymphocytes are the main contributors to clearance of challenge virus from the lungs and that contributions of influenza-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) antibodies in serum and splenic CD8(+) T cells were negligible. Complete protection from H5N1 challenge was achieved after two doses of H5N1 LAIV and was associated with maturation of the antibody response. Although passive transfer of sera from mice that received two doses of vaccine prevented lethality in naive recipients following challenge, the mice showed significant weight loss, with high pulmonary titers of the H5N1 virus. These data highlight the importance of mucosal immunity in mediating optimal protection against H5N1 infection. Understanding the requirements for effective induction and establishment of these protective immune effectors in the respiratory tract paves the way for a more rational and effective vaccine approach in the future. 相似文献

A mechanistic analysis of tumor immunity directed toward the viral oncoprotein simian virus 40 (SV40) large tumor antigen (Tag) has previously been described by our laboratory for scenarios of recombinant Tag immunization in BALB/c mice. In the present study, we performed a preliminary characterization of the immune components necessary for systemic tumor immunity induced upon immunization with plasmid DNA encoding SV40 Tag as a transgene (pCMV-Tag). Antibody responses to SV40 Tag were observed via indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay following three intramuscular (i.m.) injections of pCMV-Tag and were typified by a mixed Th1/Th2 response. Complete tumor immunity within a murine model of pulmonary metastasis was achieved upon two i.m. injections of pCMV-Tag, as assessed by examination of tumor foci in mouse lungs, without a detectable antibody response to SV40 Tag. Induction-phase and effector-phase depletions of T cell subsets were performed in vivo via administration of depleting rat monoclonal antibodies, and these experiments demonstrated that CD4(+) T lymphocytes are required in both phases of the adaptive immune response. Conversely, depletion of CD8(+) T lymphocytes did not impair tumor immunity in either immune phase and resulted in the premature production of antibodies to SV40 Tag. Our findings are unique in that a dominant role could be ascribed to CD4(+) T lymphocytes within a model of DNA vaccine-induced tumor immunity to Tag-expressing tumor cells. Additionally, our findings provide insight into the general mechanisms of vaccine-induced tumor immunity directed toward tumors bearing distinct tumor-associated antigens. 相似文献

Neutralizing antibodies and CD8+ T lymphocytes both contribute to immunity to adenovirus serotype 5 vaccine vectors 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The high prevalence of preexisting immunity to adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) in human populations will likely limit the immunogenicity and clinical utility of recombinant Ad5 vector-based vaccines for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and other pathogens. Ad5-specific neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) are thought to contribute substantially to anti-Ad5 immunity, but the potential importance of Ad5-specific T lymphocytes in this setting has not been fully characterized. Here we assess the relative contributions of Ad5-specific humoral and cellular immune responses in blunting the immunogenicity of a rAd5-Env vaccine in mice. Adoptive transfer of Ad5-specific NAbs resulted in a dramatic abrogation of Env-specific immune responses following immunization with rAd5-Env. Interestingly, adoptive transfer of Ad5-specific CD8(+) T lymphocytes also resulted in a significant and durable suppression of rAd5-Env immunogenicity. These data demonstrate that NAbs and CD8(+) T lymphocytes both contribute to immunity to Ad5. Novel adenovirus vectors that are currently being developed to circumvent the problem of preexisting anti-Ad5 immunity should therefore be designed to evade both humoral and cellular Ad5-specific immune responses. 相似文献

The high-yield expression of a neutralizing epitope from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) on the surface of a plant virus and its immunogenicity are presented. The highly conserved ELDKWA epitope from glycoprotein (gp) 41 was expressed as an N-terminal translational fusion with the potato virus X (PVX) coat protein. The resulting chimeric virus particles (CVPs), purified and used to immunize mice intraperitoneally or intranasally, were able to elicit high levels of HIV-1-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgA antibodies. Furthermore, the human immune response to CVPs was studied with severe combined immunodeficient mice reconstituted with human peripheral blood lymphocytes (hu-PBL-SCID). hu-PBL-SCID mice immunized with CVP-pulsed autologous dendritic cells were able to mount a specific human primary antibody response against the gp41-derived epitope. Notably, sera from both normal and hu-PBL-SCID mice showed an anti-HIV-1-neutralizing activity. Thus, PVX-based CVPs carrying neutralizing epitopes can offer novel perspectives for the development of effective vaccines against HIV and, more generally, for the design of new vaccination strategies in humans. 相似文献

West Nile virus (WNV) causes severe central nervous system (CNS) infection primarily in humans who are immunocompromised or elderly. In this study, we addressed the mechanism by which the immune system limits dissemination of WNV infection by infecting wild-type and immunodeficient inbred C57BL/6J mice with a low-passage WNV isolate from the recent epidemic in New York state. Wild-type mice replicated virus extraneuronally in the draining lymph nodes and spleen during the first 4 days of infection. Subsequently, virus spread to the spinal cord and the brain at virtually the same time. Congenic mice that were genetically deficient in B cells and antibody (microMT mice) developed increased CNS viral burdens and were vulnerable to lethal infection at low doses of virus. Notably, an approximately 500-fold difference in serum viral load was detected in micro MT mice as early as 4 days after infection, a point in the infection when low levels of neutralizing immunoglobulin M antibody were detected in wild-type mice. Passive transfer of heat-inactivated serum from infected and immune wild-type mice protected micro MT mice against morbidity and mortality. We conclude that antibodies and B cells play a critical early role in the defense against disseminated infection by WNV. 相似文献

Athymic BALB/c nude mice (nu/nu) fail to generate circulating antibodies to simian virus 40 (SV40) tumor (T) antigen when immunized with SV40-transformed mouse cells or with T antigen positive somatic cell hybrids derived from SV40-transformed human and normal mouse parental cells. However, normal BALB/c mice readily produce antibodies to SV40 T antigen. When nude mice were reconstituted with normal syngeneic T lymphocytes from spleen or thymus source, the humoral immune responsiveness to SV40 T antigen was restored. 相似文献

Human rhinovirus (RV) infections are the principle cause of common colds and precipitate asthma and COPD exacerbations. There is currently no RV vaccine, largely due to the existence of ∼150 strains. We aimed to define highly conserved areas of the RV proteome and test their usefulness as candidate antigens for a broadly cross-reactive vaccine, using a mouse infection model. Regions of the VP0 (VP4+VP2) capsid protein were identified as having high homology across RVs. Immunization with a recombinant VP0 combined with a Th1 promoting adjuvant induced systemic, antigen specific, cross-serotype, cellular and humoral immune responses. Similar cross-reactive responses were observed in the lungs of immunized mice after infection with heterologous RV strains. Immunization enhanced the generation of heterosubtypic neutralizing antibodies and lung memory T cells, and caused more rapid virus clearance. Conserved domains of the RV capsid therefore induce cross-reactive immune responses and represent candidates for a subunit RV vaccine. 相似文献

To investigate the defensive roles and production of interferon and antibodies, C3H/He mice were subjected to various immunosuppressive treatments and infected with influenza virus. In infected normal control mice the pattern of pulmonary viral growth can be divided into three phases. The first phase is characterized by an exponential increase of virus titer, the second by a rapid decrease, and the third by a moderate decrease. At the time of transition from the first phase to the second in pulmonary virus growth, interferon could be detected in the tracheobronchial washings of infected mice, but neutralizing antibodies could not. In infected B cell-deprived mice and infected anti-mu-treated mice, the transition from the first phase to the second occurred without any detectable antibody production, and interferon could be induced in the early stage of infection. However, the pulmonary virus in these mice increased again exponentially until the death of the mice. In infected T cell-deprived mice which could not induce interferon, but produced IgM-neutralizing antibodies, the second phase was not observed after the first phase, but a transient plateau phase could be demonstrated, and then the pulmonary virus increased again exponentially until the death of the mice. In anti-gamma-treated infected mice, pulmonary virus growth and production of interferon and neutralizing antibody were almost similar to those of infected normal control mice except for the absence of IgG neutralizing antibody production. Although anti-alpha-treated infected mice produced interferon and no IgA antibody, the transition from the first exponential increase of pulmonary virus to the second rapid decrease was seen, but then the virus increased exponentially again until the death of the mice. These results suggest that interferon plays an important role in the transition from the first phase to the second, and that T cells are required for interferon induction in mice infected with influenza virus. These data also suggest that IgA antibodies play an important role in the inhibition of virus propagation in the lungs after the disappearance of interferon. Moreover, infected T cell-deprived mice could produce only IgM neutralizing antibodies, but not IgG and IgA antibodies. Therefore, T cells are required for the production of IgG and IgA antibodies and even 相似文献

A lyophilized subunit vaccine prepared from purified respiratory syncytial virus, which contained the envelope glycoproteins F and G and the nonglycosylated matrix protein VPM, was tested in SJL mice for its ability to protect the lungs of mice from intranasal viral challenge. Initially, the mice were injected subcutaneously with one, two, or three doses of 5 or 25 micrograms of vaccine in 50% complete Freund's adjuvant or with complete Freund's adjuvant or phosphate-buffered saline only. Although none of the mice produced neutralizing serum antibody, three doses of 25 micrograms elicited antibodies to F, G, and VPM. Despite the absence of detectable neutralizing antibodies, the lungs of 93% of the vaccinated mice were protected from intranasal viral challenge. Because the initial protocol did not elicit neutralizing antibodies and a few single-dose animals were not protected, a second vaccine trial was carried out. For these studies the priming dose was increased to 50 micrograms, which was followed, in half the vaccine recipients, by a second dose of 25 micrograms. Mice given the priming dose of vaccine produced antibody to G and showed no neutralizing activity, whereas the mice given two doses of vaccine produced antibodies to G, F, and VPM and also displayed neutralizing activity for respiratory syncytial virus. The lungs of 100% of the vaccine recipients in this trial were protected from intranasal challenge. Although the vaccine elicited antibody to VPM, this response did not correlate with protection. In addition, examination of the sera from unimmunized mice recovering from respiratory syncytial virus infection revealed a serum antibody profile similar to that noted for humans, lacking antibody to VPM. Thus, the data show that a combined glycoprotein subunit vaccine affords complete protection to viral challenge and offers an approach to develop a multivalent subunit vaccine. 相似文献

Deer mice are the principal reservoir hosts of Sin Nombre virus, the etiologic agent of most hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome cases in North America. Infection of deer mice results in persistence without conspicuous pathology, and most, if not all, infected mice remain infected for life, with periods of viral shedding. The kinetics of viral load, histopathology, virus distribution, and immune gene expression in deer mice were examined. Viral antigen was detected as early as 5 days postinfection and peaked on day 15 in the lungs, hearts, kidneys, and livers. Viral RNA levels varied substantially but peaked on day 15 in the lungs and heart, and antinucleocapsid IgG antibodies appeared in some animals on day 10, but a strong neutralizing antibody response failed to develop during the 20-day experiment. No clinical signs of disease were observed in any of the infected deer mice. Most genes were repressed on day 2, suggesting a typical early downregulation of gene expression often observed in viral infections. Several chemokine and cytokine genes were elevated, and markers of a T cell response occurred but then declined days later. Splenic transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) expression was elevated early in infection, declined, and then was elevated again late in infection. Together, these data suggest that a subtle immune response that fails to clear the virus occurs in deer mice. 相似文献

Cooperation between humoral factor(s) and Lyt-2+ T cells in effective clearance of Sendai virus from infected mouse lungs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mechanism of cooperation between the L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ T cell subsets in effective clearance of Sendai virus from infected mouse lungs was studied by adoptive cell transfer using nude mice. Simultaneous transfer of a long-term-cultured Sendai virus-specific L3T4+ T cell line with L3T4+ cell-depleted immune spleen cell (L3T4-) fraction to infected nude mice could result in viral clearance, although single injection with either of these cells was not effective. Instead of the L3T4+ T cells, culture supernatants of the L3T4- T cell line or concanavalin A-stimulated mouse spleen cells and mouse serum immunized with the virus were also active in the cooperative viral clearance with L3T4- fraction. The role of the Sendai virus-sensitized L3T4- cell fraction in cooperative viral clearance with humoral factors could be replaced by neither T cell-deprived immune spleen cell fraction nor normal spleen cells. The 1,500 units of recombinant mouse interleukin 2 (IL-2), which was more than 12 times the IL-2 activity present in the supernatants of the T cell line or concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cells, failed to clear the virus in combination with the L3T4- fraction. Monoclonal antibodies to Sendai or mouse hepatitis viruses were also effective in the cooperative antiviral activity. IL-2 activity was not detected in these monoclonal antibodies and the mouse immune serum. Single injection of any humoral factors failed to clear the virus. These results indicate that Sendai virus-sensitized Lyt-2+ subset of T cells acts cooperatively with humoral factor(s) other than IL-2 or Sendai virus-specific antibody present in supernatants of the T cell line, of concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cells or hybridomas, and in mouse serum immunized with the virus. 相似文献

Neuroadapted Sindbis virus (NSV) causes acute encephalitis and paralyzes and kills adult mice unless they are treated with primary immune serum after infection. To study the nature and specificity of curative antibodies, we gave mice 30 different monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Sindbis virus (SV) 24 h after lethal intracerebral inoculation of NSV. By the time of MAb treatment, NSV replication in the brain had been well established (7.5 X 10(7) PFU/g). Seventeen MAbs directed against multiple biological domains on the NSV E1 and E2 envelope glycoproteins prevented paralysis and death. Anticapsid MAbs failed to protect. Altogether, 15 of 17 curative MAbs either neutralized NSV infectivity or lysed NSV-infected cells with complement, but neither ability was necessary or sufficient to guarantee recovery. All 5 protective anti-E2 MAbs neutralized NSV infectivity; 6 of 10 protective anti-E1 MAbs neutralized NSV; 4 did not. Plaque assay or immunohistochemical staining showed that neutralizing and nonneutralizing curative MAbs decreased NSV in the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord. Despite high neutralization titers, hyperimmune anti-SV and anti-NSV mouse sera prevented only 6 and 30% of deaths, respectively, while primary immune sera prevented 50 (SV) and 90% (NSV) of deaths. Secondary intravenous immunization with a live virus apparently diminished, obscured, or failed to boost a class of protective antibodies. When separate mouse groups were given these 30 MAbs 24 h before lethal intracerebral inoculation of NSV, a slightly different set of 17 neutralizing or nonneutralizing anti-E1 and anti-E2 antibodies protected. Two nonneutralizing MAbs and hyperimmune anti-SV serum, which had failed to promote recovery, prophylactically protected 100% of the mice. The antibody requirements or mechanisms of prophylaxis and recovery may differ. 相似文献

T helper cells can support the functions of CD8(+) T cells against persistently infecting viruses such as murine lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), cytomegalovirus, hepatitis C virus and HIV. These viruses often resist complete elimination and remain detectable at sanctuary sites, such as the kidneys and other extralymphatic organs. The mechanisms underlying this persistence are not well understood. Here we show that mice with potent virus-specific T-cell responses have reduced levels and delayed formation of neutralizing antibodies, and these mice fail to clear LCMV from extralymphatic epithelia. Transfer of virus-specific B cells but not virus-specific T cells augmented virus clearance from persistent sites. Virus elimination from the kidneys was associated with the formation of IgG deposits in the interstitial space, presumably from kidney-infiltrating B cells. CD8(+) T cells in the kidneys of mice that did not clear virus from this site were activated but showed evidence of exhaustion. Thus, we conclude that in this model of infection, site-specific virus persistence develops as a consequence of potent immune activation coupled with reductions in virus-specific neutralizing antibodies. Our results suggest that sanctuary-site formation depends both on organ anatomy and on the induction of different adaptive immune effector mechanisms. Boosting T-cell responses alone may not reduce virus persistence. 相似文献

Cellular immune responses mediated by CD8+ lymphocytes exert efficient control of virus replication during primary simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection. However, the role that antibodies may play in the early control of virus replication remains unclear. To evaluate how antibody responses may affect virus replication during primary SIVmac infection, we depleted rhesus monkeys of B cells with anti-CD20 antibody. In normal rhesus monkeys immunized with tetanus toxoid, anti-CD20 treatment and resulting depletion of B cells inhibited the generation of antitetanus antibodies, while tetanus-specific T-cell responses were preserved. During the first 4 weeks after inoculation with SIVmac251, development of SIV-specific neutralizing antibody was delayed, and titers were significantly lower in B-cell-depleted monkeys than control-antibody-treated monkeys. Despite the lower neutralizing antibody titers, the levels of plasma SIV RNA and the linear slope of the decline seen in B-cell-depleted monkeys did not differ from that observed in monkeys treated with control antibody. However, beginning at day 28 after SIV infection, the B-cell-depleted monkeys showed a significant inverse correlation between neutralizing antibody titers and plasma virus level. These results suggest that the rapid decline of peak viremia that typically occurs during the first 3 weeks of infection was not significantly affected by SIV-specific antibodies. However, the inverse correlation between neutralizing antibodies and plasma virus level during the postacute phases of infection suggests that humoral immune responses may contribute to the control of SIV replication. 相似文献

A differential effect of IgM and IgG antibodies on the blastogenic response of lymphocytes to rubella virus 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Peripheral blood lymphocytes of rabbits immunized with live rubella vaccine respond to rubella virus antigens in tissue culture with increased DNA synthesis as measured by incorporation of 3H-thymidine. This reaction can be inhibited by rubella antibody. A dose dependent effect was observed when antibodies in whole serum were mixed with virus prior to addition to lymphocyte cultures. When antisera were fractionated and their individual immunoglobulins tested, a paradoxical effect was obtained. Immune IgG although it was highly effective in neutralizing the virus was incapable of inhibiting the lymphocyte response and at times caused an increased response. In contrast, immune IgM which was less efficient in neutralizing virus caused significant suppression of the blastogenic reaction. By themselves these results might have signified that IgG and IgM antibodies have different specificities or different binding properties with respect to viral surface antigens. However, immune complexes consisting of virus and IgM reduced response of both rubella immune and normal rabbit lymphocytes to PHA. This nonspecific inhibitory action required a specific step of antigen and IgM antibody interaction and normal IgM-virus mixtures or mixtures of anti-rubella IgM and poliovirus or influenza virus did not suppress lymphocyte response to PHA. Anti-rubella IgG complexed with rubella virus did not suppress the PHA response. The IgG function was apparently limited to neutralization of the infectivity of rubella virus whereas the major role of IgM was manifested through its suppressive effect on lymphocyte reactions. 相似文献

In the rotavirus SA11 surface protein VP4, the trypsin cleavage sites associated with the enhancement of infectivity are flanked by two amino acid regions that are highly conserved among different rotaviruses. We have tested the ability of synthetic peptides that mimic these two regions to induce and prime for a rotavirus neutralizing antibody response in mice. After the peptide immunization schedule, both peptides induced peptide antibodies, but neither was able to induce virus antibodies, as measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or a neutralization assay. However, when the peptide-inoculated mice were subsequently injected with intact SA11 virus, a rapid and high neutralizing antibody response was observed in mice that had previously received the peptide comprising amino acids 220 to 233 of the VP4 protein. This neutralizing activity was serotype specific; however, this peptide was also able to efficiently prime the immune system of mice for a neutralizing antibody response to the heterotypic rotavirus ST3 when the ST3 virus was used for the secondary inoculation. 相似文献

Intranasal immunization with inactivated influenza virus vaccine can provide protective immunity, whereas many other antigens are less effective when used for mucosal immunization. To determine whether influenza virus could enhance immune responses to an antigen coadministered to a mucosal surface, we studied the intranasal immunization of mice with a mixture of simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) virus-like particles (VLPs) and inactivated influenza virus. Compared to mice immunized with SHIV VLPs alone, mice coimmunized with SHIV VLPs and inactivated influenza virus showed significant increases in serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and mucosal IgA antibodies specific to the human immunodeficiency virus envelope protein, neutralizing activities, numbers of gamma interferon- and interleukin 4-secreting lymphocytes, and cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte activities. The levels of enhancement of immune response by coimmunization with inactivated influenza virus were equivalent to those induced by inclusion of immunostimulatory CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG DNA). We also observed that SHIV VLPs bind to influenza virus virions, forming mixed aggregates. These results indicate that inactivated influenza virus can play a role as a mucosal adjuvant to coadministered antigens. 相似文献
