pubmed-article:12010483 | pubmed:abstractText | Sm23 is an integral membrane protein expressed widely in the human parasitic worm Schistosoma mansoni. Sm23 has already been shown to elicit protective immune responses following immunization with peptides or DNA constructs. In this study, we evaluated the immunogenicity and the protective efficacy of the Sm23 DNA vaccine using two different intradermal DNA delivery methods: microseeding and gene gun. Using both techniques, all mice immunized with the Sm23-pcDNA construct generated Sm23-specific immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibody, while mice immunized with the control plasmid, pcDNA, did not. Antibody isotypes analysis revealed that microseeding elicited mainly IgG2a and IgG2b antibodies, with relatively low levels of IgG1 and IgG3. The relative IgG1/IgG2a ratio was 0.03, indicative of a Th1 type immune response. In contrast, gene gun immunization resulted in significantly higher levels of IgG1 and IgG3. The relative IgG1/IgG2a ratio in this case was 11, indicative of a Th2 type immune response. No significant difference in the levels of IgG2b was observed. Coimmunization with plasmid DNA encoding either interleukin (IL)-12 or IL-4 by microseeding did not affect the levels of IgG1, while the levels of IgG2a and IgG2b were reduced. On the other hand, the levels of IgG3 were significantly increased by IL-4, but unchanged by IL-12. Importantly, in all experiments, the Sm23-pcDNA vaccine provided statistically significant levels of protection against challenge infection. Microseeding immunizations resulted in higher levels of protection (31-34% protection) than gene gun immunization (18% protection). This suggests that the Th1 type immune response elicited by microseeding immunization was responsible for the higher protection levels. However, the protective effect of the vaccine was not affected by coadministering plasmids encoding either IL-12 or IL-4 using the microseeding technique. | lld:pubmed |
