Abstract:
Objective To explore the mechanism of protective immunity against Schistosoma japonicum infection induced by Sj26 gene transfected dendritic cell(DC).Methods 48 BALB/c mice were divided randomly into 4 groups with 12 each.The mice were injected through auricle for three times with Sj26 gene transfected DC(Group A),pcDNA3 transfected DC(Group B),untreated DC(Group C) and RPMI-1640(Group D) respectively,and challenged with 40?2 cercariae of S.japonicum per mouse 2 weeks after the last immunization.Sera from mice were examined for IgG antibody,IFN-? and IL-4 by ELISA.Western blot was used for detecting specific anti-Sj26 IgG antibody.The production of IFN-? and IL-4 in the supernatant of spleen cells stimulated with soluble egg antigen(SEA) and ConA was quantified by sandwich ABC-ELISA.The proliferation of spleen cells were measured with MTT method.Results IgG antibody increased significantly in the mice of group A at 2 weeks after the last immunization(absorbency A491=0.117),higher than that of group B(A491=0.061) and group C(A491=0.058)(P
