Intranasal Immunization of Mice with Influenza Vaccine in Combination with the Adjuvant LT-R72 Induces Potent Mucosal and Serum Immunity Which Is Stronger than That with Traditional Intramuscular Immunization

Abstract: Immunization of mice by the intranasal route with influenza virus hemagglutinin in combination with the mutant Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin R72 (LT-R72) induced significantly enhanced serum and mucosal antibodies, surpassing, in most cases, responses achieved by traditional intramuscular immunization using inactivated split influenza vaccine. Furthermore, intranasal immunization with LT-R72 induced a potent serum immunoglobulin G2a response, indicating that this adjuvant has Th1 character.

“…The pandemic influenza H1N1 virus in 2009 spread to approximately 214 countries and regions and caused at least 18,449 deaths (http://www.who.int/csr/don). As the primary method for protecting against these diseases up-to-date, vaccination via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection plays an outstanding role in evoking systemic immune responses, but it is not sufficient to induce mucosal antibodies, which are of great importance for the prevention of respiratory infectious diseases (1). More suitable and effective vaccination strategies are in urgent need to overcome this problem.…”

“…4). It has been www.nature.com/scientificreports/ previously reported that BALB/c mice respond to the influenza vaccine with a T helper type 2 (Th2) response, indicating a higher stimulation of IgG1, known to neutralize the viral particles [46][47][48] . However, the mixed squalene adjuvant had a lower IgG1:IgG2a ratio suggesting either a slightly lower or higher stimulation of IgG1 or IgG2a, respectively, as compared to the other groups.…”

“…Thus, although these LT mutants induce potent antigen‐specific mucosal and systemic humoral responses when administered with other protein antigens (e.g. influenza HA 26 ), they are poor inducers of humoral responses following mucosal immunizations with HIV gag protein. Therefore, the ability of the LT mutant adjuvants to induce immunity against coadministered proteins may be antigen dependent.…”
