Presently available marketed alum adsorbed hepatitis B vaccine used for prophylactic immunization, can effectively elicit humoral immunity but is poor inducer of cell-mediated immunity (CMI). Besides, conventional alum-adjuvant vaccines require multiple injections to achieve long-lasting protective immune responses. Therefore, as a result of insufficient immunization, infections are still the leading killer among diseases. The present investigation was therefore, aimed at developing "single-shot" HBsAg adsorbed microspheres of poly (DL)-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) (L/G 50:50 and 75:25) and their capability to stimulate the cell mediated immune response against hepatitis B surface antigen. These microspheres were characterized in vitro for their size, shape polydispersity index, percentage HBsAg adsorption efficiency and in vitro release profile. The immune-stimulating activities were also studied following subcutaneous injection of HBsAg adsorbed PLGA microspheres (single-dose on day 0) and compared with alum adsorbed vaccines (two-doses on 0 and 28 days) in Balb/c mice. Specific cell-mediated immune responses such as lymphocyte transformation assay (stimulation-index) including release of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-2 (IL-2) and nitric-oxide were determined. Cellular responses in case of alum adsorb HBsAg vaccine was very low. These studies demonstrate the potential of cationic polymeric microspheres based vaccine in stimulating cell mediated immune response along with humoral response against hepatitis B.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D007279 Injections, Subcutaneous Forceful administration under the skin of liquid medication, nutrient, or other fluid through a hollow needle piercing the skin. Subcutaneous Injections,Injection, Subcutaneous,Subcutaneous Injection
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D007376 Interleukin-2 A soluble substance elaborated by antigen- or mitogen-stimulated T-LYMPHOCYTES which induces DNA synthesis in naive lymphocytes.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.
