Abstract:
Objective To observe the splenocytes immune response elicited by different concentrations of recombinant Toxo?plasma gondii profilin(rTgPRF)through the nasal route,and determine the optimal dose. Methods Fifty female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 5 groups. The immunized groups were intranasally administered with 10,20,30μg or 40μg of rTgPRF that was separately dissolved in 20μl of phosphate?buffered saline(PBS)on days 0,14,and 21 respectively,while the control mice were given PBS solution instead. Two weeks after the last immunization,all mice were killed. Under asceptic conditions,the spleens from the immunized mice were dissected,and then the splenocyte proliferative responses in vitro were tested by CCK?8 kit. The levels of IFN?γ,IL?2,IL?4 and IL?10 of splenocyte culture supernatant were detected by ELISA. Re?sults Compared to the control group,the splenocytes from the 30μg and 40μg groups exhibited a significantly higher prolifer?ative response to rTgPRF(P<0.05),and SI from the 30μg rTgPRF group was higher than that from the 40μg group(P<0.05). The levels of IFN?γin all the immunized groups(P<0.05)and IL?2 in the 20,30μg and 40μg groups were significant?ly stronger than those in the control(P<0.05),and the 30μg group presented the highest concentrations of IFN?γ(P<0.01) and IL?2(P<0.01). There were no statistical differencesa mong the groups in the levels of IL?4 and IL?10. Conclusions The intranasal immunization with rTgPRF can induce the splenocyteproliferation and Th1?type mediated immunity. The best immu?nized dose is confirmed as 30μg.
