Effect of alum on immune response in mice induced by HBoV1 VP2 VLPs / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the effect of alum on immune response in mice induced by HBoV1 VP2 VLPs.Methods:BABL/c mice were randomly divided into VLPs experimental group, alum adjuvant experimental group, PBS control group and alum adjuvant control group,the experimental group mice were intramuscular immunization with HBoV1 VP2 VLPs and HBoV1 VP2 VLPs added alum,control group mice were immunization with alum or PBS buffer,then to study the effect of alum on immune response in mice induced by HBoV1 VP2 VLPs by cellular and humoral immune strength.Results: Alum adjuvant decreased cellular immune response induced by HBoV1 VP2 VLPs(P<0.001),enhance the HBoV1 VP2 VLPs immuned serum IgG titer(P<0.05)and IgG activity(P<0.01).Conclusion:Alum adjuvant can enhance humoral immune response induced by HBoV1 VP2 VLPs,but weaken cellular immune response induced by HBoV1 VP2 VLPs,when HBoV1 VP2 VLPs used as a prophylactic vaccine it should add alum adjuvant,when used as a therapeutic vaccine,it should not add alum adjuvant.
