    Objective To investigate the effect of bifidobacterium on mucosal immunity induced by bivalent oral poliomyelitis vaccine(bOPV)of types Ⅰ+ Ⅲ. Methods Polio receptor transgenic mice were inoculated with two doses of b OPV at an interval of 28 d. The mice in test group were inoculated with bifidobacteria 7 d before each dose of vaccine by gavage,while those in control group were fed with PBS. Stool samples were collected from the mice on days 3 and 7 after each dose of vaccine,in which the levels of polio-specific IgA and virus shedding were measured. Cytokine secretion level and lymphocyte subsets in intestinal lymph nodes of mice were determined after vaccination. Results The levels of poliospecific mucosal IgA in mice in test group on day 3 after immunization with the first and the second doses of vaccine were significantly higher than those in control group(P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01). The positive conversion rate of IgA of mice in test group on day 3 after immunization with the first dose of vaccine was significantly higher(P < 0. 05),while the virus shedding level of typeⅠwas significantly lower(P < 0. 01),than those in control group. The immunization with bOPV activated more B lymphocytes(P < 0. 000 1)and more Th1 pathway cytokines IL-1 and TNF-α(P < 0. 05)in mice in test group. Conclusion Application of bifidobacteria before immunization with bOPV increased the secretion level of poliospecific mucosal immune IgA,which showed a certain ability in slowing down the virus shedding.

    Objective To prepare modular HBc-VLPs carrier microneedle vaccine and analyze its characteristics and immune effect. Methods By directional transformation of hbc gene sequence,HBc(A80C)monomer protein was prepared,pu-rified and self-assembled to form HBc-VLP nanocarriers. The influenza virus antigen M2e peptide as model antigen was connected to Cys residue of HBc-VLPs by Sulfo-SMCC to prepare M2e-HBc-VLPs model antigen. Antigen particles were mixed in a rapid-dissolving material as a matrix to prepare a coated microneedle vaccine which was subjected to gel puncture,skin puncture and release tests. The antigenicity of M2e-HBc monomer was analyzed by Western blot. BALB/c mice were immunized with the coated microneedle vaccine by intradermal injection at dosages of 50 and 100 μg respectively,of which the serum specific antibody titer was determined by indirect ELISA,and the T lymphocyte level by flow cytometry. Results HBc(A80C) monomer was assembled to form HBc-VLPs spherical carrier at a particle size of about 30 nm. Gel and skin puncture tests showed that the antigen reached the epidermal layer,of which more than 90% was released within 15 min. The conjugated M2e antigen specifically bound to the corresponding antibody. The vaccine effectively stimulated mice to produce antigen-specific IgG antibodies and activated the cellular immunity,which validated the effectiveness of the model vaccine. Conclusion The HBc-VLPs carrier with site-directed coupling function can carry a variety of antigen modules to form a targeted vaccine,shorten the time required for vaccine preparation and evaluation,and accelerate the vaccine development process. Large-scale rapid vaccination may be performed through skin immunization with microneedles. The research results lay a foundation of application of HBc-VLPs as a modular vaccine carrier,which can promote the development of modular microneedle vaccines.

  • New technology for antigen design and its application in vaccine

    LI Xing-hang;YANG Xiao-ming;National Research Center of Engineering Technique for Combine Vaccine;

    Vaccinology is originated with Jenner and Pasteur who mimicked the protective effect of natural infection in humans by inoculation with inactivated or attenuated pathogens. This approach led to the vaccine development lasting for a century and effective prevention of various infectious diseases. However,effective vaccines against partial diseases have not been developed by the traditional method. With the development of various disciplines,new technologies and strategies such as structural vaccinology and vaccinomics have emerged in the field of vaccine design. These new technology platforms provide new ideas for designing antigens in new vaccines. This paper reviews the new technology for antigen design as well as its application and development in vaccines.

    XIE Qing-xin;LIU Yan-hong;LU Wei-dong;College of Pharmacy,Kunming Medical University,Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Pharmacology of Natural Drugs;

    Vaccination is an important measure to prevent and control influenza. Common influenza vaccine includes trivalent and tetravalent vaccines. With the development of research on influenza vaccine,the current multivalent vaccines are optimized in aspects of the selection of vaccine virus strain,addition of adjuvant and improvement of production process. Due to the poor cross-protection of influenza vaccine among different subtypes,universal influenza vaccine which can induce broad spectrum and long-term immunity is the main trend of influenza vaccine development. In recent years,the discovery of antigens that can cause a wide range of viral responses,the modification of conserved region of the virus and the study on cellular immune mechanisms have provided new ideas for the development of universal influenza vaccine. In this paper,the current research status of influenza vaccine and the progress in development of universal influenza vaccine are reviewed.

  • Progress in research on antiviral mechanism of types Ⅰ and Ⅲ interferon

    JIN Li;SU Qiang;ZHOU Jian-hua;MA Zhong-ren;Center for Biomedical Research,Northwest Minzu University;

    Interferon(IFN)is an important antiviral cytokine which directly involves in the antiviral immune response of epithelium and mediates the induction of interferon stimulated gene(ISG) by innate natural immune response thus establishes the natural immune defense against virus infection rapidly. It is currently believed that types Ⅰ and Ⅲ IFN have redundant functions,such as antiviral,anti-tumor proliferation and immunomodulatory effects. Meanwhile,the signaling pathways mediated by the two types are similar to a large extent. Type Ⅰ interferon exerts antiviral effect in the early stage of viral infection as well as long-term immune function,which is rapid in response and strongly induces the production of ISGs. However,typeⅢ interferon is relatively slow in response and limit in induction of ISGs,which plays an important role primarily in mucosal immunity in innate immune response. In addition,gene expression results in the difference in evolution of IFN system,reflecting the diversity between species. In this paper,the progress in research on the roles of typesⅠand Ⅲ interferon in immunomodulation and antiviral fields in order to provide a reference for study on IFN-mediated immunity.
