We herein detail the methodology followed to compare protective efficacy and lung immune response induced by intranasal and subcutaneous immunization with BCG in mouse model. Our results show the benefits of pulmonary vaccination and suggest a role for IL17-mediated response in vaccine-induced protection.
Despite global coverage of intradermal BCG vaccination, tuberculosis remains one of the most prevalent infectious diseases in the world. Preclinical data have encouraged pulmonary tuberculosis vaccines as a promising strategy to prevent pulmonary disease, which is responsible for transmission. In this work, we describe the methodology used to demonstrate in the mouse model the benefits of intranasal BCG vaccination when compared to subcutaneous. Our data revealed greater protective efficacy following intranasal BCG administration. In addition, our results indicate that pulmonary vaccination triggers a higher immune response in lungs, including Th1 and Th17 responses, as well as an increase of immunoglobulin A (IgA) concentration in respiratory airways. Our data show correlation between protective efficacy and the presence of IL17-producing cells in lungs post-Mycobacterium tuberculosis challenge, suggesting a role for this cytokine in the protective response conferred by pulmonary vaccination. Finally, we detail the global workflow we have developed to study respiratory vaccination in the mouse model, which could be extrapolated to other tuberculosis vaccines, apart from BCG, targeting the mucosal response or other pulmonary routes of administration such as the intratracheal or aerosol.
结核病(TB)是全球领先的传染性疾病导致性比HIV相关的死亡在世界之一,耐多药菌株的增加上升相结合,使得TB惊人的全球性健康问题1。新的诊断工具,更有效和毒性较小的药物,以及新的安全和有效的结核病疫苗的迫切需要,特别是在发展中世界。
减毒活卡介苗(BCG)是目前预防结核病,已在皮内诞生以来全球20世纪70年代给予唯一的持牌疫苗。卡介苗被认为是有效地防止儿童疾病(脑膜炎和粟粒TB)的严重形式,但已经显示出对负责疾病变速 器2的肺结核功效不一致。
肺接种疫苗,它模仿结核感染的自然路线,代表了当地引发宿主的免疫反应有吸引力的方法秒。在这点上,相比于皮下或皮内途径3-6在不同的有关结核的动物模型的各种临床前工作已经证明以下肺免疫更大疫苗效力。尽管如此,通过肺接种引发的保护机制尚不十分清楚。在过去的几年中,一些作品指着具体TB-粘膜免疫应答的重要因子IL17介导的反应,如在缺陷的IL17粘膜疫苗诱导的保护效力小鼠模型受损7,8。
最近,我们展示的第一次鼻内BCG管理保护的DBA / 2鼠标,鼠标应变特点是皮下BCG免疫后9缺乏保护的。这些结果表明,呼吸道结核疫苗可以减少在流行国家,皮内BCG被认为是对pulmon无效结核病率更有效元TB。
Although current vaccine against tuberculosis, BCG, is the most widely administered vaccine in history, tuberculosis remains one of the leading causes of death and morbidity from infectious diseases worldwide. This paradox is explained by the lack of protection of this vaccine against pulmonary tuberculosis, the responsible form of transmission. New vaccination approaches effective against pulmonary forms of the disease are urgently needed, as they would have the greatest impact on disease transmission globally.
