为了寻找合适的动物模型来评价人CpG寡脱氧核苷酸(CpG-ODN)的活性,研究了CpG2006等含有5‘-GTCGTT-3‘特征序列的人CpG-ODN对小鼠的免疫刺激活性。在体外它们能够促进小鼠脾淋巴细胞转化,促进B细胞分泌IgM ,但不能诱生高水平的IFN-γ。研究了CpG2006等序列在体内作为疫苗佐剂对HBsAg免疫效果的影响,发现:(1)人CpG-ODN能够明显提高抗-HBs抗体水平,并逆转Al(OH)3对T 卤类免疫应答的抑制;(2)初免时以CpG2006为佐剂可以使免疫应答“销定”在Thl类免疫应答,而加强免疫时以CpG2006为佐剂可以在一定程度上逆转初免时Al(OH)3诱生的Th2类免疫应答;(3)CpG2006联合Al(OH)3作为佐剂的单剂量疫苗的免疫效果强于两剂量以Al(OH)3为佐剂的常规疫苗,上述结果表明:小鼠可以作为动物模型用于含有5‘-GTCGTT-3‘特征序列的人CpG-ODN免疫效果的研究。 相似文献

具有免疫刺激活性的非甲基化寡核苷酸链的研究进展 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
富含非甲基化碱基CG的寡核苷酸链(CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides,CpG-ODN),具有免疫刺激活性.其骨架及侧翼核苷酸序列决定CpG-ODN免疫效应的强度及特异性.最近研究发现,通过对CpG-ODN中核苷酸上的基团进行化学修饰,或改变侧翼核苷酸序列均能影响CpG-ODN的免疫活性、种属及细胞特异性.这对CpG-ODN的深入研究和应用具有一定的指导价值. 相似文献

为了研究CpG岛产生和消失机制以及位于基因启动子区域外的CpG岛保守性等问题,我们通过序列比对和进化保守性分析等方法,分析在人类和小鼠中保守的基因上的CpG岛。结果显示已有保守序列的突变以及序列插入删除是CpG岛产生和消失的主要原因,进一步分析发现52%的在小鼠基因组上保守序列完全缺失的CpG岛位于两个转座子之间,提示转座子所介导的序列插入是CpG岛形成和消失的重要原因。人类基因组上在启动子区域外的CpG岛中约有79%为新产生的CpG岛,显著高于启动子区域内新产生的CpG岛比例(41%)。GO分析表明与这些CpG岛相关的部分基因与神经系统发育显著相关,提示新产生的CpG岛参与神经发育过程。 相似文献

人呼吸道合胞病毒(Human respiratory syncytial virus,hRSV)是全球婴幼儿和老年人严重呼吸道疾病的主要原因。hRSV感染主要局限于呼吸道,当鼻黏膜中特异性IgA抗体滴度较低时容易引起hRSV反复感染,理想的hRSV疫苗应诱导全身免疫应答,尤其是黏膜免疫。本研究应用CHO细胞表达融合蛋白F-Fc(含有hRSV F蛋白和人IgG1抗体的Fc片段),F-Fc蛋白结合CpG佐剂两次免疫小鼠,比较滴鼻免疫(Intranasal,in)和肌肉注射(Intramuscular,im)免疫安全性和有效性的差异。与佐剂对照组(CpG)相比,四种免疫方式(CpG+F-Fc/in+im,CpG+F-Fc/im+in,CpG+F-Fc/im+im和CpG+F-Fc/in+in)均能诱导高滴度中和抗体,高水平及Th1偏向的细胞免疫应答,减少肺脏病毒的滴度,但是两次滴鼻免疫组小鼠效果是最好的。同时,两次滴鼻免疫组小鼠诱导的IgA抗体最多,小鼠体重恢复速度最快,并且可以显著降低肺脏病理损伤。综上所述,在以上四种免疫方案中,两次滴鼻免疫诱导产生的免疫效果最优。 相似文献

Unmethylated CpG-ODN are known to enhance Th1-type immune response. However, optimal sequences of CpG-ODN for activating Th1-type immune cells vary among species. It is necessary to identify the effective CpG-ODN sequences in each species. In the present study, in order to identify the sequences of CpG-ODN that produce fIFN-γ in cats, 14 kinds of ODN were synthesized and examined regarding their ability to induce fIFN-γ in feline PBMC and splenocytes. It was shown that some CpG-ODN significantly induced fIFN-γ production in splenocytes, but not in PBMC. We found that three kinds of CpG-ODN (no. 2, 5'-ggTGCATCGATGCAGggggG-3'; no. 5, 5'-ggTGCGTCGACGCAGggggG-3'; no. 10, 5'-ggTGCTACGTAGCAGggggG-3') specifically and significantly induced fIFN-γ production in feline splenocytes. The reverse sequences, GpC-ODN, do not cause significant fIFN-γ production. The fIFN-γ production inductivity of a mixture of CpG-ODN nos. 2, 5 and 10 was higher than those of individual CpG-ODN. When the CpG-ODN mixture was encapsulated in an MCL and administrated to cats, the number of fIFN-γ(+) cells in PBMC significantly increased. CpG-ODN nos. 2, 5 and 10 should be useful to elicit a Th1-type immune response as a vaccine adjuvant in cats. 相似文献

Oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) containing CpG motifs (CpG) act as modulators that bias the immune response towards a Th1-dominant phenotype. To investigate this effect further, we examined the protective effects of a covalently linked conjugate between CpG-ODN and HA-2kd antigen in mice infected with influenza A virus. The conjugated form of CpG-ODN and HA-2kd was more efficient in regulating influenza A virus than the unconjugated mixture of CpG-ODN and HA-2kd. The antigen-conjugated CpG-ODN induced an immune response with a Th1-dominant cytokine pattern characterized by the secretion of high levels of HA-2kd-specific interferon-gamma and IgG2a (Th1), which were only slightly induced by HA-2kd alone. These findings support the use of CpG-ODN-Ag conjugates as novel Ag-specific immunomodulators and suggest that CpG-ODN-HA-2kd might be a promising immune therapy for patients with influenza virus. 相似文献

Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis is a life-threatening infectious disease in immunocompromised patients. Unmethylated CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODN) protects hosts in a mouse model. In the present study, we tested the adjuvant effect of CpG-ODN in anti-fungal chemotherapy. Administration of either fluconazole (FLCZ) or CpG-ODN was effective in extending survival, accelerating clearance of fungi and preventing disseminated infection. Combination of both agents provided more beneficial effect than either agent alone. Cytokine balance in the infected lungs was biased to Th1-type response by CpGODN, while FLCZ did not further promote. These results suggest that CpG-ODN is a promising adjuvant in chemotherapy against this infection. 相似文献

In this report, we investigated the effect of ODN containing immunostimulatory CG motifs as adjuvant with soluble antigen (SA) from Leishmania donovani. BALB/c mice were vaccinated with the soluble antigen with or without CpG-ODN as adjuvant and then challenged with L. donovani metacyclic promastigotes. CpG-ODN alone resulted in partial protection against challenge with L. donovani. Immunization of mice with SA and CpG-ODN showed enhanced reduction in parasite load ( approximately 60%) when compared to SA ( approximately 40%) immunized mice. Immunization with SA by itself resulted in a mixed Th1/Th2 response whereas co-administration of SA with CpG-ODN resulted in a strong Th1 promoting isotype as they together promoted production of immunoglobulin G2a. Leishmania-specific Th1 cytokine response was induced by co-administering CpG-ODN and SA as they together promoted production of IFN-gamma and IL-12. In the present study, we demonstrate that immunostimulatory phosphorothioate-modified ODN are promising immune enhancers for vaccination against visceral leishmaniaisis. 相似文献

We demonstrate a new design for immunomodulatory CpG DNA containing two sequences each with as few as five or six-nucleotides joined together via 3(')-3(') linkers. These do not require the -PuPu(Py)CGPyPy- hexameric motif generally found essential for CpG DNA immune stimulation. These novel, short-immunomers show potent immunostimulatory activity manifested by IL-12 and IL-6 secretion in murine spleen cell and PBMC cultures and splenomegaly in vivo. Short-immunomers show strong activation of NF-kappaB and stress-activated signaling pathways and induce cytokines in J774 cell cultures. The same sequences also induce cytokines in healthy human PBMC cultures whereas conventional CpG DNA requires different optimal sequences for murine and human immune cells. Additionally, short-immunomers inhibit IL-5 secretion and induce IFN-gamma secretion in conalbumin-sensitized mouse spleen cell cultures, suggesting reversal of established Th2 responses to Th1 type responses. Short-immunomer also inhibits growth of MCF-7 human tumor xenograft in nude mice. This is the first report of activity with such short DNA sequences and also of sequences lacking hexameric motifs proposed in earlier studies. 相似文献

Oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG motifs (CpG-ODN) represent potential adjuvants for specific immunotherapy of type I allergies because they foster Th1-like immune responses. However, previous work has shown that CpG-ODN induce systemically active levels of TNF-alpha in murine macrophages. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the release of TNF-alpha in human cells by a CpG-ODN proven to induce Th1 immune responses in cells from atopic individuals and in mice. CpG-ODN induced TNF-alpha in cells from atopic and healthy individuals. However, the amounts were low, as determined by comparison with commonly used Ags. Intracellular cytokine staining of PBMC revealed that CpG-ODN-induced TNF-alpha derived exclusively from B lymphocytes. TNF-alpha contributed to the CpG-ODN-augmented proliferation and Ig synthesis in PBMC, but was not involved in IFN-gamma synthesis. In conclusion, our findings indicate that certain CpG-ODN induce low amounts of TNF-alpha in human B lymphocytes and may therefore be used to modulate Th2-biased immune responses in allergic patients. 相似文献

Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing unmethylated CpG motifs (CpG-ODN) have been characterized as Th1-promoting immunopotentiators, an adjuvant activity desirable for vaccination against intracellular parasites like Toxoplasma gondii. In an attempt to find new antigen–adjuvant combinations that enhance the immunogenicity of antigen candidates for toxoplasma vaccines, we analyzed the extent of protection in mice immunized with ROP2 and GRA4 recombinant proteins when co-administered with CpG-ODN. Both GRA4 + CpG-ODN and ROP2 + CpG-ODN formulations were shown to induce a strong humoral Th1-biased response characterized by a high IgG2a to IgG1 antibody ratio. Both vaccination regimens led to increased secretion of IFN-γ and IL-10, and negligible amounts of IL-4, upon specific re-stimulation of spleen cells from these groups of mice. After a non-lethal challenge with tissue cysts of a moderately virulent strain, only the brains from mice vaccinated with ROP2 or GRA4 in combination with CpG-ODN showed a significant reduction (63% and 62%, respectively) in their parasite load compared to the controls. The rate of protection obtained with GRA4 + ROP2 + CpG-ODN resulted equivalent (66%) to those achieved with the single antigens plus CpG-ODN. Taken together, these results indicate that CpG-ODN is an important candidate adjuvant for use in potential multicomponent anti-T. gondii vaccines for animals and humans. 相似文献

A successful vaccine against human RSV (HRSV) is likely to induce a Th1 or a balanced Th1/TH2 cytokine response. We tested a panel of HRSV immunostimulating complexes (ISCOMs) containing different Quillaja saponin fractions (QH-A, QH-C, and 703: a mixture of 70% QH-A and 30% QH-C) with different immunological properties for their capacity of inducing innate and acquired immune responses. The HRSV 703 ISCOMs induced the strongest innate and acquired immune responses, followed by RSV QH-C and QH-A ISCOMs. All three formulations induced various degrees of Th1 bias response with prominent production of IFN-gamma being 10-50 times higher than that of IL-4 and IL-5. The HRSV specific IgG isotype profile correlated with the predominant secretion of Th1 cytokines, with strong induction of IgG2a antibodies. The 703 ISCOMs induced the most pronounced Th1 profile followed by QH-C and QH-A ISCOMs. The high incorporation of F protein in these ISCOMs compared to G protein combined with the Th1 biased nature of ISCOM are likely to be the causes to promote a Th1 type of profile. The prospect to formulate an RSV ISCOM formulation with an optimal Th1/Th2 balance is in reach particularly in view of the versatile properties of the ISCOM concept. 相似文献

Background
Virus-specific cellular immune responses play a critical role in virus clearance during acute or chronic HBV infection. Currently, the commercially available HBV vaccine is combined with alum adjuvant, which stimulates mainly Th2 immune responses. Therefore, development of new therapeutic HBV vaccine adjuvants and immune strategies that also promote Th1 and CTL responses is urgently needed.Methodology/Principal findings
To improve the immunity induced by the novel HBSS1 HBV vaccine, we evaluated the ability of adjuvants, including alum, CpG and polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid [poly(I:C)], to enhance the response when boosted with the recombinant adenoviral vector vaccine rAdSS1. The immune responses to different adjuvant combinations were assessed in C57BL/6 mice by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), ELISpot and cytokine release assays. Among the combinations tested, a HBV protein particle vaccine with CpG/alum and poly(I:C)/alum priming combinations accelerated specific seroconversion and produced high antibody (anti-PreS1, anti-S antibody) titres with a Th1 bias. After boosting with recombinant adenoviral vector vaccine rAdSS1, both groups produced a strong multi-antigen (S and PreS1)-specific cellular immune response. HBSS1 immunisation with poly(I:C)/alum priming also generated high-level CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses in terms of Th1 cytokines (IFN-γand IL-2).Conclusions
The protein-vaccine HBSS1 with mixed poly(I:C)/alum adjuvant priming, followed by a rAdSS1 vaccine boost, maximises specific antibody and Th1-biased cellular immune responses. This regime might prove useful in the development of HBV therapeutic vaccines. Furthermore, this promising strategy might be applied to vaccines against other persistent infections, such as human immunodeficiency virus and tuberculosis. 相似文献20.

In schistosomiasis, the current control strategy does not prevent reinfection, therefore, vaccine strategies are essential to combat the Schistosoma mansoni. The efficacy vaccine depends on parasite stage and effective adjuvant. We have recently demonstrated that S. mansoni schistosomula tegument (Smteg) is able to activate dendritic cells up regulate CD40 and CD86 molecules and induce a partial protection in mice (43–48%) when formulated with Freund's adjuvant. In this study we evaluated the ability of Smteg + alum or Smteg + alum + CpG-ODN to induce protection in mice. Our results demonstrate that Smteg + alum + CpG-ODN induced a partial reduction in worm burden (43.1%), reduction in the number of eggs eliminated in the feces. The protective response was associated with a predominant Th1 type of immune response, with increased production of specific IgG2c, IFN-γ and TNF-α, B cells proliferation and CD4 cells and macrophages activation. 相似文献
