We have previously reported that Ts87 is an immunodominant antigen that induces protective immunity against Trichinella spiralis larval challenge. In this study, the Ts87 gene was cloned into an expression plasmid, pVAX1, and the recombinant Ts87 DNA was transformed into attenuated Salmonella typhimurium strain SL7207. Oral immunization of mice with Ts87 DNA delivered in S. typhimurium elicited a significant local mucosal IgA response and a systemic Th1/Th2 immune response. Cytokine profiling also showed a significant increase in the Th1 (IFN-gamma) and Th2 (IL-5, 6, 10) responses in splenocytes of immunized mice upon stimulation with Ts87 antigen. An immunofluorescence assay performed with antisera revealed that the recombinant Ts87 protein was expressed in mesenteric lymph nodes of immunized mice. The mice immunized with Salmonella-delivered Ts87 DNA displayed a statistically significant 29.8% reduction in adult worm burden and a 34.2% reduction in muscle larvae following challenge with T. spiralis larvae, compared with mice immunized with empty Salmonella or a PBS control. Our results demonstrate that Ts87 DNA delivered by attenuated live S. typhimurium elicits a local IgA response and a balanced Th1/Th2 immune response and produces partial protection against T. spiralis infection in mice.
