To investigate the adjuvant effect of plasmid DNA encoding superantigen SEA (D227A) (pmSEA) on immune responses induced by HBV DNA vaccine containing HBV preS2 and S antigen in BABL/c (H-2d). BALB/c mice were immunized intramuscular injection with HBV DNA vaccine (pHBVS2S) mixed with or without pmSEA plasmid. Antibodies againat HBV PreS2 and S antigen in the sera were accessed by Anti-HBs ELISA, and the HBsAg specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) activity was determined by 5 Chromium Release Assay. The HBs peptide-specific IFN-gamma secreting T cells were detected by ELISPOT. Anti-HBs antibody titers and CTLs activity in mice immunized with pmSEA + pHBVS2S group were significant higher (P0.05) than pHBVS2S DNA vaccine group. The ratio of IgG1/IgG2a (0.282) was apparently different from the group immunized with peptide (10). Mice immunized with HBV DNA vaccine plus adjuvant produce higher titer of IgG1 and IgG2a antibodies against HBV S antigen 1.36 and 1.73 time higher than that without adjuvant respectively. HBs peptide--specific IFN-gamma secreting T cells increased 2 - 3 times by the pmSEA adjuvant, compared to DNA vaccine group. HBV DNA vaccine (pHBVS2S) induces humoral and cellular immuno-responses in BALB/c mice, and the responses could be significantly boasted by the plasmid encoding mSEA. Therefore the pmSEA was a potential adjuvant for DNA vaccines. |
