چکیده

background: adjuvants are used to increase the immunogenicity of new generation vaccines, especially those based on recombinant proteins. despite immunostimulatory properties, the use of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (lps) as an adjuvant has been hampered due to its toxicity and pyrogenicity. brucella abortus lps is less toxic and has no pyrogenic properties compared to lps from other gram negative bacteria. objectives: to evaluate the adjuvant effect of b. abortus (vaccine strain, s19) lps for tetanus toxoid antigen (tt) and to investigate the protective effect of different tetanus vaccine preparations. methods: lps was extracted and purified from b. abortus s19 and kdo, glycan, phosphate content, and protein contamination were measured. adipic acid dihydrazide (adh) was used as a linker for the conjugation of tt to lps. different amounts of b. abortus lps, tt, tt conjugated with lps, and tt mixed with lps or complete freund’s adjuvant (cfa) were injected into mice and antibody production against tt was measured. the protective effect of induced antibodies was determined by ld50. results: immunization of mice with tt+lps produced the highest anti-tt antibody titer in comparison to the group immunized with tt without any adjuvant or the groups immunized with tt-lps or tt+cfa. tetanus toxid-s19 lps also produced a 100% protective effect against tt in immunized mice. conclusion: these data indicate that b. abortus lps enhances the immune responses to tt and suggest the possible use of b. abortus lps as an adjuvant in vaccine preparations.

Immunogens of Brucella Abortus S19 Identified By Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis and Immunoblotting

Background: Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and several antigenic proteins of Brucella have been considered for preparation of diagnostic reagents and subunit vaccines. The objective of this study was to identify and compare immunogens of B. abortus S19 which induce humoral immune responses in human, goat and rabbit. Material and Methods: The bacterial whole cell extract was prepared in extraction b...

Evaluation of immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a liposome containing Brucella abortus S19 outer membrane protein in BALB/c mice

The use of liposome as an adjuvant and a vaccine carrier has been cited previously in the literature. It has also been shown to be effective in enhancing the immunogenicity of vaccine candidates. BALB/c mice immunized subcutaneously with outer membrane protein (OMP) of Brucella abortus S19 vaccine strain entrapped in a commercial cationic liposome (S19-OMP-liposome) for vaccine delivery, showed...

Brucella abortus S19 vaccine protects dairy cattle against natural infection with Brucella melitensis.

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that can cause severe illness in humans and considerable economic loss in the livestock industry. Although small ruminants are the preferential host for Brucella melitensis, this pathogen has emerged as a cause for Brucella outbreaks in cattle. S19 vaccination is implemented in many countries where B. abortus is endemic but its effectiveness against B. melitens...
