The possibility that a recombinant protein vaccine based on xenogeneic homologous FGFR-1 of chicken induces production of autoantibodies against self-FGFR-1 in BALB/c mice was examined by using ELISA, Western blot analysis and ELISPOT assay respectively. Autoantibodies against mouse FGFR-1 were identified by Western blot analysis and ELISA. Compared with the two control groups, the number of APBCs, which were detected by ELISPOT assay, was significantly increased in the spleens of mice immunized with cFR1 (P < 0.05). IgG1 and IgG2b, which were detected by ELISA, were the major subclasses and were substantially increased in response to chicken FGFR-1 when compared with control group. The recombinant chicken FGFR-1 protein used as a vaccine can induce autoantibodies against self-FGFR-1 in mice and provide a basis for the active immunotherapy of tumor angiogenesis.

To explore the anti-tumor effect of immunotherapy with recombinant protein vaccine based on FGFR-1 of chicken (cFR-1) in a mouse Meth A fibrosarcoma model, tumor volume and survival rate of the mice were observed at a 3-day interval. Microvessel density (MVD) was detected by immunohistochemistry. Auto-antibodies against self-FGFR-1 were detected by Western blotting and ELISA, respectively. The anti-FGFR-1 antibody-producing B cells (APBCs) were detected by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay. Eighteen days after inoculation of tumor cells, the tumor volume was significantly smaller in cFR-1-immunized group than in mouse FGFR-1 (mFR-1) immunized group and normal saline (NS) control group (P<0.05), and the survival time was significantly longer in cFR-1-immunized group than in the control groups (P<0.01). MVD was significantly lower in cFR-1-immunized group than in mFR-1-immunized group and NS group (16.8+/-5.6 vs 64.6+/-1.8 and 59.6+/-8.7, P<0.01). Antibodies against self-FGFR-1 were found in mFR-1-immunized group, the major antibody subclasses were IgG1 and IgG2b. Compared with the two control groups, the numbers of APBCs in cFR-1-immunized group were significantly increased (P<0.01) These results demonstrated that the cFR-1-related anti-angiogenesis protein vaccine could induce the production of auto-antibodies against self-FGFR-1, which futher inhibit angiogenesis and growth of solid tumor.

In order to investigate the anti-tumor angiogenesis activity with a recombinant Ag43/FGFR1 chimeric protein (AF) vaccine in a mouse H22 hepatoma model, tumor volume and survival rate of the mice were studied at a 3-day interval. Microvessel density (MVD) was detected by immunohistochemistry. The endothelial deposition of autoantibodies within tumor tissues was examined by immunofluorescent staining, and anti-FGFR1 antibody-producing B cells (APBCs) were tested by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay. Compared with the three control groups, the tumor volume was significantly decreased and the survival time was significantly prolonged in AF-immunized group (P<0.05). The number of APBCs in AF-immunized mice (129.6+/-10.9) was more than in controls [6.2+/-1.1 (FGFR1), 6.0+/-1.2 (Ag43) and 5.2+/-1.4 (NS), P<0.01]. Moreover, the endothelial deposition of autoantibodies was found in tumor tissues from AF-immunized mice, but not in control groups. MVD in AF-immunized group was significantly lower than in FGFR1-immunized group, Ag43-immunized group and NS group (10.3+/-3.1 vs 39.4+/-8.6 vs 42.3+/-9.8 and 43.6+/-10.6, P<0.01). These findings demonstrated that the AF protein vaccine effectively inhibited tumor angiogenesis and growth via production of autoantibodies against self-FGFR1.

Objective To understand the distribution of inhaled allergens throughout Hainan province and explore effective preventive measures against allergen by examining the serum allergen of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), which will provide evidence for specific immunotherapy for treating CRS. Methods Three hundred and eighteen CRS patients underwent Phadiatop blood test by using the UniCAP 100 , a completely automatic autoanalyser. Allergen-specific IgE of 7 common allergens were tested and the concentration of total immunoglobulin E (TIgE) was collected and evaluated. Results The positive rates of the serum TIgE and inhaled allergens were 64.15% and 37.74% respectively. The incidences of the positive serum SIgE is 33.96%. Among the positive cases, 28.30% of the inhaled allergens were dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, 27.36% for tropical mites, 21.07% for dermatophagoides farinae, 13.52% for cockroach, 11. 64% for house dust, 7. 86% for cat dander and 0.63% for dog dander. The incidences of positive TIgE and SIgE were not significantly different between patients with nasal polyps and sinusitis only. Conclusions Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, tropical mites and dermatophagoides farinae are the main inhaled allergens for CRS patients in Hainan.
