Immunization by particle bombardment of antigen-loaded poly-(dl-lactide-co-glycolide) microspheres in mice
چکیده انگلیسی

In the present study, we investigated whether poly-(dl-lactide-co-glycolide) (50:50) microspheres (PLG MS) containing a model antigen, ovalbumin (OVA), were delivered into mouse skin and the immune responses induced using a microparticulate bombardment system, Helios™ gene gun system, which can painlessly deliver the powdered drug through the stratum corneum to the epidermal–dermal interface using a high velocity supersonic flow of helium gas to accelerate the particles. The introduction of OVA-loaded PLG MS shows helium pressure-dependence, so that improved introduction can be achieved by a higher helium pressure used, thereby inducing sufficient anti-OVA IgG level. Moreover, in order to determine the type of immune system induced using particle bombardment, we investigated helper T-cell response characterized by the cytokine production in the isolated splenocytes 6 weeks after immunization and consequent production of the anti-OVA IgG subclasses in the serum in mice. As a result, IL-4 production in splenocytes and anti-OVA IgG1 level were preferentially elicited by particle bombardment with OVA-loaded PLG MS compared with IFN-γ and anti-OVA IgG2a level. It seemed likely that particle bombardment using this system led to a Th-2 type immune response, i.e. a humoral immune response. In conclusion, this microparticulate bombardment system is a promising immunization method, expected to become an alternative to needle injection used to administer a broad range of vaccines for the treatment of various diseases.
