DNA immunization confers systemic, but not mucosal, protection against enteroinvasive bacteria

Abstract: Naked plasmid DNA (pRc/Y-hsp60) with a cytomegalovirus promoter and a sequence encoding Yersinia enterocolitica 60-kDa heat shock protein (Y-HSP60) was used for vaccination. After intramuscular injection of pRc/Y-hsp60, Y-hsp60 mRNA could be detected by reverse transcription-PCR in muscle, liver and spleen. A single immunization with pRc/Y-hsp60 induced significant Y-HSP60-specific T cell responses after 1 week. IFN-gamma production by spleen cells upon stimulation with Y-HSP60 was strictly dependent on the pr… Show more

“…Clearly, the addition of the M cell ligand protein 1 enhanced the mucosal IgA responses when compared with naked DNA immunizations in this report and others (10,11). The results from this study not only suggest that NALT M cells are targeted by our protein 1, but also do not exclude the possibility that the nasal epithelium may be transfected.…”

“…In fact, the magnitude of these mucosal IgA responses is similar to those obtained with first-generation Salmonella vaccine vectors (30). Importantly, prolonged mucosal IgA responses were observed, which represent an advantage for this method of DNA delivery when compared with conventional DNA immunization (7,10,11). In addition, the prolonged IgA responses resembled the observed time course described for oral immunization with microencapsulated DNA (18,33,34).…”

“…In fact, intramuscular immunization of BALB/c and C57Bl6 mice with naked plasmid DNA (pRc/Yhsp60) encoding Yersinia enterocolitica 60-kDa heat 309 shock protein (Y-HSP60) conferred protection against dissemination of this infection in the spleen but not at the site of mucosal entry. 9 In regards to B cells, the proposed model, based on numerous studies looking into B-cell migration patterns and adhesion molecule expression suggests that primed lymphoid cells from nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT), from Eustachian tube-associated lymphoid tissue (TALT) and bronchus-associated tissue (BALT) preferentially home into nasal and salivary glands, pharyngeal and middle ear mucosa, bronchial and mammary glands, but can also home into urogenital tract. For example, intranasal immunization with a DNA vaccine constructed with the CMV promoter conjugated to env gp160 and rev genes in liposomes induced high levels of mucosal IgA antibodies in feces and vaginal fluids that were able to neutralize HIV-1.…”
