A DNA vaccine against contagious agalactia was developed for the first time, encoding the P48 of Mycoplasma agalactiae. Specific immune responses elicited in BALB/c mice were evaluated. Both total IgG and IgG1 were detected in mice vaccinated with pVAX1/P48. Proliferation of mononuclear cells of the spleen, levels of gamma interferon, interleukin-12, and interleukin-2 mRNAs were enhanced in immunized animals. Results indicate that pVAX1/P48 vaccination induced both T(h)1 and T(h)2 immune responses. Nucleic acid immunization could be a new strategy against M. agalactiae infections and may be potentially used to develop vaccines for other Mycoplasma diseases.
首次研发出一种针对无乳症的DNA疫苗,其编码无乳支原体的P48。评估了在BALB/c小鼠中引发的特异性免疫反应。在用pVAX1/P48疫苗接种的小鼠中检测到了总IgG和IgG1。免疫动物脾脏单核细胞的增殖、γ干扰素、白细胞介素-12和白细胞介素-2 mRNA水平均有所提高。结果表明,pVAX1/P48疫苗接种诱导了Th1和Th2免疫反应。核酸免疫可能是一种对抗无乳支原体感染的新策略,并且可能潜在地用于开发针对其他支原体疾病的疫苗。
