Recombinant avian influenza subunit vaccines often require adjuvants to enhance immune responses. This study aims to evaluate the immune-enhancing potential of seven combination adjuvants in specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens.
SPF chickens were vaccinated with combinations of ISA78VG and adjuvants, including Quil-A, CpG, and monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA). Their immune responses were assessed using a vaccination and viral challenge protection model.
The combinations of ISA78VG with Quil-A, CpG&MPLA or CpG&Quil-A significantly enhanced antibody responses and provided cross-protection against the H5N8-20135 strain. The ISA78VG&MPLA and ISA78VG&CpG&MPLA combinations induced the stronger IFN-γ production, with CpG further amplifying the immune response. The ISA78VG&Quil-A formulation, in particular, stimulated rapid antibody responses, achieving a 100% seroconversion by day 14 and high titers of hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibodies against both the recombinant HA antigen and the H5N6-20053 virus.
The ISA78VG&Quil-A combination is an ideal adjuvant for enhancing the immunogenicity of avian influenza rHA subunit vaccines, offering a promising strategy for H5 subtype vaccine development.
重组禽流感亚单位疫苗通常需要佐剂来增强免疫反应。本研究旨在评估七种联合佐剂对无特定病原体(SPF)鸡的免疫增强潜力。
用ISA78VG与包括Quil-A、CpG和单磷酰脂质A(MPLA)在内的佐剂组合对SPF鸡进行疫苗接种。使用疫苗接种和病毒攻击保护模型评估它们的免疫反应。
ISA78VG与Quil-A、CpG&MPLA或CpG&Quil-A的组合显著增强了抗体反应,并提供了针对H5N8-20135毒株的交叉保护。ISA78VG&MPLA和ISA78VG&CpG&MPLA组合诱导产生更强的IFN-γ,其中CpG进一步放大了免疫反应。特别是ISA78VG&Quil-A制剂刺激了快速的抗体反应,并在第14天实现了100%的血清转化,以及针对重组HA抗原和H5N6-20053病毒的高滴度血凝抑制(HI)抗体。
ISA78VG&Quil-A组合是增强禽流感rHA亚单位疫苗免疫原性的理想佐剂,为H5亚型疫苗开发提供了一种有前景的策略。
