Protection induced by intramuscular immunization with DNA vaccines of pseudorabies in mice, rabbits and piglets
2002
Overview
Glycoprotein gene gB, gC and gD of pseudorabies virus (PrV) strain Ea, which was isolated locally in Wuhan, were cloned from the viral genome DNA and expressed in vitro controlled by the major immediately-early promotor/enhancer of HCMV. In the presented paper, Balb/c mice, rabbits and piglets were vaccinated intramuscularly two times at 2-week interval with those eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDB, pcDC and pcDD, respectively. The animals injected with pcDB, pcDC, pcDD or mix DNA developed anti-PrV antibodies. Neutralizing antibody titers obtained 2–5
log
2, 2 weeks after the second vaccination. Cellular immune responses were also detected by lymphoproliferation assay and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity assay in all groups vaccinated with DNA. Immune responses elicited by DNA vaccines provided protections with different degrees against lethal dose PrV challenge. In mice, protections induced by pcDC, pcDD or mix DNA were 100%, similar to that by inactivated vaccine. Protections were more than 50% induced by pcDC, pcDD or mix DNA in rabbits. Protections induced by pcDB were the lowest among DNA immunization in mice or rabbits. However, pcDB could elicit the higher cellular responses in rabbits or piglets. In piglets, body temperatures of animals injected with pcDB, pcDC, pcDD or mix DNA did not change significantly after challenge with 2×10
5 pfu of PrV strain Ea, and the means daily growth post-challenge of those animals were higher than those injected with inactivated vaccine or parental plasmid. Neither DNA vaccines nor inactivated vaccine could prevent or delay virus excretion after challenge. Our experiments in experimental animals and natural hosts suggested the efficiency and potential application of DNA vaccines for pseudorabies in pigs.
