DNA vaccination using plasmid encoding the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of influenza A/PR/8/34 virus to induce long-lasting protective immunity against respiratory infection was evaluated in this study. Using liposomes as carriers, the efficacy of DNA vaccines was determined using a lethal influenza infection model in mice. Mice immunized intranasally or intramuscularly with liposome-encapsulated pCI plasmid encoding HA (pCI-HA10) were completely protected against an intranasal 5 LD(50) influenza virus challenge. Mice immunized with liposome-encapsulated pCI-HA10, but not naked pCI-HA10, by intranasal administration were found to produce high titers of serum IgA. These results suggest DNA vaccines encapsulated in liposomes are efficacious in inducing complete protective immunity against respiratory influenza virus infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D007252 Influenza Vaccines Vaccines used to prevent infection by viruses in the family ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE. It includes both killed and attenuated vaccines. The composition of the vaccines is changed each year in response to antigenic shifts and changes in prevalence of influenza virus strains. The flu vaccines may be mono- or multi-valent, which contains one or more ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS and BETAINFLUENZAVIRUS strains.
