abstract

conclusions our results demonstrated that r-fla-a could induce cellular and humoral immune response as proper stimulant of poly-isotypic humoral responses. results immunized mice with adjuvanted flagellin showed a considerably increased lymphocyte proliferation compared with the control group (p = 0.004). high level of il-4 and ifn-γ secretion was observed in immunized mice compared with the control group (p = 0.003 and p = 0.006, respectively) with th1 profile. in addition to the strong antibody-mediated immune response, we found that immunization of mice with r-fla-a induces specific igg1, igg2a, igg2b, igg3 and igm antibodies that indicates a statistically significant difference with the control group (p = 0.003, p = 0.004, p = 0.004, p = 0.006 and p = 0.004 respectively). background pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that infects people with immunocompromised defenses like neutropenic, burned, hospitalized, and cystic fibrosis (cf) patients. objectives the main aim of this study was to explore the possibility of the recombinant type a flagellin (r-fla-a) in combination of montanide isa 70 as a candidate vaccine to promote the humoral and cellular immune responses against r-fla-a. materials and methods recombinant flagellin was prepared in montanide isa 70 adjuvant; mice were divided into two groups one of six. the lymphocyte proliferation assay was performed with brdu/elisa and il-4 and ifn-γ cytokine level assay was carried out to determine the pattern of immune response (th1 vs. th2). specific antibody responses were measured with an optimized in direct elisa and finally different isotype-specific antibodies including igg1, igg2a, igg2b, igg3, and igm was measured with elisa.

Induction of Specific Humoral Immune Response in Mice against a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Chimeric PilQ/PilA Protein

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, is a common cause of healthcare-associated infections in immunocompromised individuals. The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant strains has made P. aeruginosa infections progressively difficult to treat. In this study we evaluated the effect of a chimeric protein containing a P. aeruginosa PilQ fragment and the PilA disulfide loo...

Characterization of Immune Responses Induced by Combined Clade-A HIV-1 Recombinant Adenovectors in Mice

Background: Numerous evidences indicate that in some HIV-1 positive patients, the humoral and cellular immune responses are induced against HIV-1 proteins and this is inversely related to the progress of infection. Objective: The aim of this study was the evaluation of the Adenovectors containing HIV genes in induction of immune responses in mice. Methods: The HIV-1 genes including gag p24, rev...

Recombinant Flagellin-Porcine Circovirus Type 2 Cap Fusion Protein Promotes Protective Immune Responses in Mice

The Cap protein of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) that serves as a major host-protective immunogen was used to develop recombinant vaccines for control of PCV2-associated diseases. Growing research data have demonstrated the high effectiveness of flagellin as an adjuvant for humoral and cellular immune responses. Here, a recombinant protein was designed by fusing a modified version of bacteri...

Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Induce Systemic Pro-Inflammatory Immune Responses in Colonized Mice

The World Health Organization has rated multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a critical threat to human health. In the present study, we performed a survey of intestinal colonization, and local and systemic immune responses following peroral association of secondary abiotic mice with either a clinical MDR P. aeruginosa or a commensal murine Escherichia coli isolate. Depletion of ...
