    Objective To evaluate the protective effect of rabies vaccines of various kinds in post-exposure prophylaxis(PEP)using Syrian hamster as an animal model. Methods One group of healthy hamsters uninfected with virus(Pr EP)and one group of hamsters infected with CVS strain(PEP)were immunized with rabies vaccines of various kinds separately, of which heart blood samples were collected at various time points after immunization, and determined for antibody titer by RFFIT. Meanwhile, the death of animals in PEP group was observed, while the relationship between antibody level and protective effect was analyzed. The hamsters were infected i.m. with 4. 0 lg MICLD_(50)/ ml of CVS strain in left gastrocnemius muscle, 0. 2 ml for each, and, 6 h later, immunized with rabies vaccines of various kinds on days 0, 3, 7 and 14 to observe the protective effect. Results The serum antibody in PEP group was positive on day 4, while the positive rate was 100% on day 5, and the antibody titer was maintained at a high level, after immunization. The antibody level in Pr EP group was lower than that in PEP group starting from day 4. However, no relationship was observed between the antibody levels on day 4 as well as the following days after immunization and the deaths of animals immunized with vaccines of various kinds in PEP group. The immune protective rate of high titer vaccine was 80%, while those of bulk vaccines dilut-ed by 2 and 5 folds were 30% and 20% respectively. However, both the protective rates of bulk vaccines containing PIKA adjuvant diluted as above were 80%. The protective rate of vaccine combined with human rabies immunoglobulin(HRIG)in PEP group was 100%, while the death rate of animals unimmunized after infection was about 90%. Conclusion Syrian hamster may be used for effective evaluation on quality of rabies vaccine in PEP. The vaccine titer was related to the pro-tective effect in PEP. Vaccine combined use with HRIG was the optimal protocol for PEP. PIKA adjuvant decreased the amount of antigens and enhanced the protective effect of vaccines. No relationship was observed between the post-exposure antibody level and protective effect.

    Objective To investigate the effect of various adjuvant and immunization routes on the immunogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis multi-epitope fusion protein TP15(MEP-TP15). Methods MEP-TP15 protein was prepared using MF59 and h BCG, alone or in combination, as adjuvant, and injected s. c. or i. m. to BALB / c mice. The specific Ig G, Ig G1 and Ig G2 a against TP15 in sera of mice were determined by indirect ELISA, while the multifunctional CD4~+T cell content in splenic lymphocytes by flow cytometry, and the IL-1β and IL-12 contents in culture supernatant of peritoneal macrophages by sandwich ELISA. Results MEP-TP15 induced only TP15-specific Ig G and Ig G1 in mice but no TP15-specific Ig G2 a. MF59 and h BCG alone or in combination, by either s. c. or i. m. route, increased the levels of TP15-specific Ig G, Ig G1 and Ig G2 a, while the Ig G2 a level in MF59 + h BCG group was satisfactory. The adjuvant by s. c.route was more effective than i. m. route in induction of Ig G2 a. The MF59 + h BCG by s. c. route showed satisfactory effect in induction of Ig G2 a, while the ratio of Ig G1 to Ig G2 a was significantly lower than that by i. m. route. The IL-2~+CD4~+T cell content in splenic lymphocytes of mice immunized with TP15 using MF59 and h BCG as adjuvant, alone or in combination, increased, while the IL-10~+CD4~+T cell content decreased, and the levels of IL-1β and IL-12 increased in peritoneal macrophages. Conclusion Complex adjuvant MF59 + h BCG induced Th1-type cellular immune drift, and the immune effect of subcutaneous injection was superior to that of intramuscular injection.

    GAO Xiang;WANG Zi-jian;SUN Ning-ning;LIU Ning;Central Laboratory, The Second Hospital of Jilin University;

    Lipid modification is one of the most important post-translational modifications. Influenza viral protein may be modified by various types of lipids, of which palmitoylation is prominent. Palmitolation is of an important significance in the transport, hydrophobicity and intracellular localization of influenza viral protein, and plays an important role in assembly and membrane fusion of the virus. At present, the methods for research on palmitoylation of proteins are mainly radioactive isotope labeling, acyl-biotinyl exchange(ABE) and mass spectrometry. This paper reviews the progress in research on palmitoylation of influenza viral protein so as to provide a reference for further understanding the mechanism of the palmitoylation.
