Reconstitution immune tolerance of pre-autoimmune diabetes by chain DNA vaccination of insulin B / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of inducing immune tolerance of autoimmune diabetic mice by insulin B chain gene vaccine Methods:Insulin B chain DNA vaccine was constructed by genetic engineering techniques DNA vaccine was injected into tibilias anterior muscle of C57BL/6 mice Mice were divided into four groups at random group control (C), group diabetes (D), group treatment (T), prophylactic treatment (P) Serum was taken to determine insulin, the expression of bcl 2 mRNA was determined by dot blot dehydribation Results:①After prediabetic mice were injected by DNA vaccines, the ratio of incidence of diabetes was 30% in 2 w, 40% in 3 w and 4 w, which were significantly higher than that of groups D and T, and lower than that of group C The level of insulin showed no difference between group C and the non diabetic mice of group P In contrast to non diabetic mice, the change of pancreas of diabetic mice in group P was similar to group D ②AGV of bcl 2 mRNA in thymus cells, spleen cells, and blood monocytes of effective mice in group P showed no difference with group C, but markly lower than those of group D & T Conclusion:Insulin B chain DNA vaccine could recover the balance of the development and activity of thymus cells, spleen cells and lymphocyte in prediabetic mice
