Haemonchus contortus (H. contortus) ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (Hc-ARF1) and Hepatocellular carcinoma-associated antigen 59 (Hc-HCA59) are recognized to largely regulate the immune responses of host cells. However, studies about the protective efficacy of the two molecules are poorly unknown. In this research, combinations of recombinant Hc-HCA59 (rHc-HCA59) and Hc-ARF1 (rHc-ARF1) proteins were amalgamated with poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles adjuvant in order to investigate their protection potential against H. contortus in goats. The results demonstrated that the levels of IgG, IgA, IgE, and IL-4 were noticeably enhanced in the rHc-HCA59 and rHc-ARF1 (rHc-HCA59+rHc-ARF1) group before H. contortus third-stage larvae (L3) challenge. After the L3 challenge, the levels of IL-17, IL-9, and TGF-β were considerably upregulated in the rHc-HCA59+rHc-ARF1 group. In the meantime, the abomasal worm burdens and the fecal eggs were reduced by 63.2% and 69.4% respectively in the rHc-HCA59+rHc-ARF1 group. According to the studies, PLGA nanoparticles immobilized with rHc-HCA59 and rHc-ARF1 proteins conferred partial protection and were expected to be a potential candidate for developing nano vaccines to combat goat haemonchosis. |
