Full recombinant flagellin B from Vibrio anguillarum (rFLA) and its recombinant D1 domain (rND1) promote a pro-inflammatory state and improve vaccination against P. salmonis in Atlantic salmon (S. salar). DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2021; 117:103988. [PMID: 33359361 DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2020.103988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Revised: 12/20/2020] [Accepted: 12/20/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Flagellin is the major component of the flagellum, and a ligand for Toll-like receptor 5. As reported, recombinant flagellin (rFLA) from Vibrio anguillarum and its D1 domain (rND1) are able to promote in vitro an upregulation of pro-inflammatory genes in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) macrophages. This study evaluated the in vitro and in vivo stimulatory/adjuvant effect for rFLA and rND1 during P. salmonis vaccination in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). We demonstrated that rFLA and rND1 are molecules able to generate an acute upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-8, IL-12β), allowing the expression of genes associated with T-cell activation (IL-2, CD4, CD8β), and differentiation (IFNγ, IL-4/13, T-bet, Eomes, GATA3), in a differential manner, tissue/time dependent way. Altogether, our results suggest that rFLA and rND1 are valid candidates to be used as an immuno-stimulant or adjuvants with existing vaccines in farmed salmon.

Abstract
In the last three decades, the aquaculture sector has experienced a 527% growth, producing 82 million tons for a first sale value estimated at 250 billion USD. Infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites are the major causes of mortality and economic losses in commercial aquaculture. Some pathologies, especially those of bacterial origin, can be treated with commercially available drugs, while others are poorly managed. In fact, despite having been recognized as a useful preventive measure, no effective vaccination against many economically relevant diseases exist yet, such as for viral and parasitic infections. The objective of the present review is to provide the reader with an updated perspective on the most significant and innovative vaccine research on three key aquaculture commodities. European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were chosen because of their economic relevance, geographical distinctiveness, and representativeness of different culture systems. Scientific papers about vaccines against bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases will be objectively presented; their results critically discussed and compared; and suggestions for future directions given.

Abstract
Red hybrid tilapia were fed a formalin-killed oral Streptococcus iniae vaccine (FKV) in the present study was assessed. Three hundred Red hybrid tilapia 80 ± 10 g were divided into five groups (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, and Cx), each consisting of 60 fish. Fish from Groups 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B were fed with FKV over different periods of administration, while Group 2B was the only group of fish to receive an oral booster vaccination on day 14- and 21-days post-vaccination (dpv). Group Cx was fed with normal pellets containing no vaccine as a control group. At four weeks post-vaccination (wpv), all fish were experimentally infected with S. iniae. Groups 2A and 2B had the lowest level of mortalities following vaccination (45% and 30%, respectively) compared to Groups 1A and 1B (80% and 55%, respectively), while the level of mortalities in Group Cx was 100%. All vaccinated groups showed a significant increase in anti-S. iniae IgM levels (p < 0.05) in serum, mucus, and gut-lavage, while Group Cx did not (p > 0.05) and all fish in this group died by five weeks post-infection. In conclusion, fish fed with the S. iniae FKV had a greater level of protection against S. iniae, with increased specific antibody response to the vaccine and there was also evidence of GALT stimulation by the vaccine.

Abstract
This study assessed the impact of routine vaccination of Atlantic salmon pre-smolts on gene expression and the possible link to saprolegniosis on Scottish fish farms. Fish were in 4 different groups 1) 'control' - fish without handling or vaccination 2) 'vaccinated' - fish undergoing full vaccination procedure 3) 'non vaccinated' - fish undergoing full vaccination procedure but not vaccinated and 4) 'vaccinated-MH' - fish undergoing vaccination, but procedure involved minimal handling. A strong increase in cortisol and glucose levels was observed after 1 h in all groups relative to the control group. Only in the non-vaccinated group did the level decrease to near control levels by 4 h. Expression levels of six stress marker genes in general for all groups showed down regulation over a 9-day sampling period. In contrast, expression levels for immune response genes in the head kidney showed significant up-regulation for all eight genes tested for both vaccinated groups whereas the non-vaccinated group showed up-regulation for only MHC-II and IL-6b in comparison to the control. Both the vaccination procedure and the administration of the vaccine itself were factors mediating changes in gene expression consistent with fish being susceptible to natural occurring saprolegniosis following vaccination.

Abstract
Vaccination is one of the strategies for preventing Vibrio harveyi infection in marine-cultured animals. In this study, we prepared a formalin-killed cells of V. harveyi ZJ0603 vaccine (FKC) combined with β-glucan to immune pearl gentian grouper. The results indicated that the expression levels of IgM, TNF-α, MHC-Iα, IL-1β and IL-16 significantly increased in the spleen of the vaccinated fish. Antibody titers, activities of lysozyme and superoxide dismutase were significantly prompted in blood of the vaccinated fish. After 35 d post-vaccination, all fish were challenged intraperitoneally by virulent V. harveyi, and the relative percentage of survival (RPS) of FKC+β-glucan, FKC, β-glucan and PBS were 68 ± 5.7%, 55 ± 8.5%, 42 ± 7.5% and 32 ± 6.9%, respectively. These results demonstrated that β-glucan could be as a potential adjuvant of FKC and provide good protective effect against V. harveyi infection in the pearl gentian grouper culture.

Abstract
The aquaculture industry is continuously threatened by infectious diseases, including those of bacterial origin. Regardless of the disease burden, aquaculture is already the main method for producing fish protein, having displaced capture fisheries. One attractive sector within this industry is the culture of salmonids, which are (a) uniquely under pressure due to overfishing and (b) the most valuable finfish per unit of weight. There are still knowledge gaps in the understanding of fish immunity, leading to vaccines that are not as effective as in terrestrial species, thus a common method to combat bacterial disease outbreaks is the use of antibiotics. Though effective, this method increases both the prevalence and risk of generating antibiotic-resistant bacteria. To facilitate vaccine design and/or alternative treatment efforts, a deeper understanding of the teleost immune system is essential. This review highlights the current state of teleost antibacterial immunity in the context of salmonid aquaculture. Additionally, the success of current techniques/methods used to combat bacterial diseases in salmonid aquaculture will be addressed. Filling the immunology knowledge gaps highlighted here will assist in reducing aquaculture losses in the future.

Abstract
Warm-water piscine francisellosis is a granulomatous bacterial disease caused by Francisella orientalis (Fo). The disease has been detected in a wide range of fish species globally, causing mortalities as high as 90% and significant economic losses. Currently there are no commercially available vaccines and few treatment options exist. In the current study, two novel recombinant vaccines were prepared using diatom-expressed IglC or bacterial-expressed GroEL proteins. The vaccine antigens were emulsified with either nanoparticles or a commercially available oil-based adjuvant. Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, fingerlings were immunized intracoelomically with the recombinant IglC or GroEL vaccines, diatoms alone or phosphate buffer saline. Approximately 840-degree days post-vaccination, fish were challenged via immersion with 106 CFU/mL of wild-type Fo. Twenty-one days post challenge (dpc), the highest relative percent survival was recorded in the IglC-Montanide group (75%), compared to 53%, 50%, 22%, 19% and 16% in the IglC-nanoparticles, GroEL-Montanide, GroEL-nanoparticles, diatoms-Montanide and diatoms-nanoparticles groups, respectively. Protection correlated with significantly higher specific antibody responses in the IglC-Montanide group. Moreover, a significantly lower bacterial load was detected in spleen samples from the IglC-Montanide survivor tilapia compared to the other experimental groups. This is the first report of recombinant vaccines against piscine francisellosis in tilapia. The Fo vaccines described in our study may facilitate development of a safe, cost-effective and highly protective vaccine against francisellosis in farmed tilapia.

Abstract
Vaccine adjuvants induce host innate immune responses improving long-lasting adaptive immunity against vaccine antigens. In vitro models can be used to compare these responses between adjuvants and the infection targeted by the vaccine. We utilized transcriptomic profiling of an Atlantic salmon cell line to compare innate immune responses against ISAV and an experimental viral vaccine adjuvant: poly (I:C). Induction of interferon and interferon induced genes were observed after both treatments, but often with different amplitude and kinetics. Using KEGG ortholog database and available software from Bioconductor we could specify a complete bioinformatic pipeline for analysis of transcriptomic data from Atlantic salmon, a feature not previously available. We have identified important differences in the transcriptional profile of Atlantic salmon cells exposed to viral infection and a viral vaccine adjuvant candidate, poly (I:C). This report increases our knowledge of viral host-pathogen interaction in salmon and to which extent these can be mimicked by adjuvant compounds.

Abstract
Glycoprotein is an important immunogenic protein of Hirame novirhabdovirus (HIRRV). In this study, the full-length and N-/C-terminal portions of glycoprotein were recombinantly expressed (rG, rGn and rGc protein), and the induced immune responses were investigated in flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) model. The results showed that compared to PBS control, rG, rGn and rGc proteins and inactivated HIRRV suspension (iVS) could all stimulate significant increases of flounder CD4-1+, CD4-2+ T lymphocytes and surface IgM positive (sIgM+) B lymphocytes in peripheral blood, spleen and head kidney (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences of the percentages of CD4-1+ or CD4-2+ T lymphocytes were observed among three protein vaccination groups (p > 0.05). iVS could induce the highest mean levels of CD4+ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood and spleen. For sIgM+ B lymphocytes, the average peak percentages in rG and rGc groups were higher than rGn group. Moreover, significant increases of specific serum IgM against HIRRV or rG protein were observed in iVS, rG, rGn and rGc groups, but rG group exhibited the highest mean level. Furthermore, rG protein induced the highest titer of neutralizing antibodies against HIRRV, followed by iVS. Meanwhile, the challenge test showed that the relative percent survival (RPS) of rG, rGn, rGc and iVS groups were 75.0%, 35.7%, 53.6% and 60.7%, respectively. These results revealed that the full-length G protein would be a more effective subunit vaccine candidate against HIRRV infection.

Microbiota Modulates the Immunomodulatory Effects of Filifolinone on Atlantic Salmon. Microorganisms 2020; 8:microorganisms8091320. [PMID: 32872599 PMCID: PMC7564783 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms8091320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Revised: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Filifolinone is an aromatic geranyl derivative, a natural compound isolated from Heliotropum sclerocarpum, which has immunomodulatory effects on Atlantic salmon, upregulating cytokines involved in Th1-type responses through a mechanism that remains unknown. In this work, we determined whether the immunomodulatory effects of filifolinone depend on the host microbiotic composition. We evaluated the effect of filifolinone on immune genes and intestinal microbiotic composition of normal fish and fish previously treated with bacitracin/neomycin. Filifolinone induced the early expression of IFN-α1 and TGF-β, followed by the induction of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IFN-γ. A pre-treatment with antibiotics modified this effect, mainly changing the expression of IL-1β and IFN-γ. The evaluation of microbial diversity shows that filifolinone modifies the composition of intestinal microbiota, increasing the abundance of immunostimulating organisms like yeast and firmicutes. We identified 69 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) associated with filifolinone-induced IFN-γ. Our results indicate that filifolinone stimulates the immune system in two ways, one dependent on fish microbiota and the other not. To our knowledge, this is the first report of microbiota-dependent immunostimulation in Salmonids.

Abstract
The aquaculture industry in Korea has grown rapidly since the 1960s, and it is a major food source. However, the expansion of aquaculture systems has increased the chances of infectious disease outbreaks, and vaccination plays an important role in commercial fish farming. This is the first comprehensive review of commercial fish vaccines in Korea. It not only provides an overview of commercially available fish vaccines and their associated approval processes and laws, but also some perspectives on research advances regarding fish vaccines in Korea. In Korea, fish vaccines are approved only after their safety and effectiveness have been verified according to the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, and after approval, each vaccine lot must pass the national evaluation criteria. As of the end of 2019, 29 vaccines were approved for 10 fish pathogens, including both single and combination vaccines containing more than two inactivated pathogens. The approved fish vaccines consist of 2 immersion vaccines, as well as 1 intramuscular and 26 intraperitoneal vaccines, which require syringe injection. All the 29 vaccines are manufactured as formalin-inactivated vaccines; 1 is an adjuvant vaccine and 28 are non-adjuvant vaccines; 25 are bacterial vaccines, 2 are viral vaccines, 1 is a parasite vaccine, and 1 is a parasite and bacterial vaccine. In terms of the target fish species, 27 vaccines are used in the olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), 1 in the starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus), and 1 in the red seabream (Pagrus major), striped beakfish (Oplegnathus fasciatus), and amberjack (Seriola quinqueradiata). This imbalance exists mostly because the olive flounder is the main farmed fish species in Korea. In 2018, 67.71 million vaccine doses were distributed following satisfactory performance in the national evaluation. They were used to vaccinate approximately 80.6% of farmed olive flounders.

Abstract
The production of tilapia Oreochromis spp. is rapidly growing throughout the world, but atypical motile aeromonad septicemia (MAS) is a current threat to the tilapia farming industry. The etiological agent of this disease is usually Aeromonas hydrophila. Mortality rates due to MAS are frequently high, resulting in a devastating negative impact on this industry worldwide; therefore, proper control measures regarding both prevention and treatment are necessary. Although vaccines against MAS for tilapia are available, their effectiveness is entirely dependent on the specific strain of problematic bacteria. Until now, whole-cell inactivated A. hydrophila vaccines for tilapia have exhibited the highest level of protection over live attenuated and recombinant vaccines. Among the various vaccine administration systems, only intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of the A. hydrophila vaccine into tilapia were found to provide prominent immune protection. Vaccine efficacy was primarily measured by using the i.p. injection challenge model and estimating the relative percent survival of the immunized tilapia. Freund's incomplete adjuvant showed to be the most effective for tilapia MAS vaccines. In this review, multiple factors that directly or indirectly influence the efficacy of MAS vaccines for tilapia (adjuvants, challenge models, immunization doses and duration, and size of vaccinated fish) are discussed.

Abstract
Vibrio vulnificus, Edwardsiella anguillarum and Aeromonas hydrophila are three common bacterial pathogens in cultivated eels. To protect farming eels from infection by these pathogens, a trivalent outer membrane protein (OMP) containing partial sequences of OmpU from V. vulnificus, OmpA from E. anguillarum and OmpII from A. hydrophila was expressed and purified; then, the OMP was used as a vaccine to immunize Japanese eels (Anguilla japonica). Whole-blood cell proliferation, antibody titres and complement and lysozyme activities were detected at different days post-immunization (dpi), and the relative per cent survival (RPS) was determined after eels were infected with V. vulnificus, E. anguillarum or A. hydrophila at 28 dpi. The results showed that the OMP significantly stimulates the antibody titres. At 14 days after the challenge (i.e. at 28 dpi), the RPS of OMP against V. vulnificus, E. anguillarum and A. hydrophila was 20%, 70% and 11.1%, respectively. The construction, expression and immunogenicity of a trivalent Omp were reported for the first time, and this study will provide a valuable reference for the development of fish multiplex vaccines.

Abstract
In our previous study, we cloned and explored the biological functions of flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) interleukin-2 (poIL-2), and showed that poIL-2 might have adjuvant potential for fish vaccines. In this study, the adjuvant effects of recombinant and molecular forms of poIL-2 (rIL-2 and pcIL-2) were comparatively analyzed and evaluated in flounder from several aspects by co-vaccination with the recombinant E. tarda OmpV (rOmpV). The results showed that co-vaccination with rOmpV plus rIL-2 or pcIL-2 resulted in a relative percent survival of 71% and 57% respectively, which was significantly higher than the control groups, rOmpV plus rHis (40%) or pcN3 (36%). Immunological analysis showed that: (1) the levels of specific serum antibodies and sIg + lymphocytes in head kidney, spleen and peripheral blood induced by rOmpV plus rIL-2 or pcIL-2 were significantly higher than that in the two control groups; (2) Compared to the two control groups, CD4-1, CD4-2, CD8α, CD8β, MHCIα, MHCIIα, IgM and IFN-γ mRNA levels were also significantly induced by rOmpV plus rIL-2 or pcIL-2; (3) the rOmpV plus rIL-2 could induce higher levels of sIg + lymphocytes, specific serum antibodies and the expressions of all investigated genes than rOmpV plus pcIL-2. These results demonstrated that co-vaccination with rOmpV with rIL-2 or pcIL-2 could induce stronger humoral and cellular immune responses, and evoked higher immune protective efficacy against E. tarda infection, suggesting that poIL-2 could be served as a promising candidate adjuvant and have a potential application in the control of flounder diseases.

Abstract
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) reassortant strains RGNNV/SJNNV have emerged as a potent threat to the Mediterranean marine aquaculture industry, causing viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER) in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis). In this study, a cheap and practical vaccine strategy using bacterial inclusion bodies made of the coat protein of a virulent reassortant strain of this betanodavirus was devised. The nanostructured recombinant protein nanoparticles, VNNV-CNP, were administered without adjuvant to two groups of juvenile sole, one by intraperitoneal injection and the other by oral intubation. Specific antibodies were raised in vivo against the NNV coat protein via both routes, with a substantial specific antibody expansion in the injected group 30 days post homologous prime boost. Expression levels of five adaptive immune-related genes, cd8a, cd4, igm, igt and arg2, were also quantified in intestine, spleen and head kidney. Results showed cd4 and igm were upregulated in the head kidney of injected fish, indicating activation of an adaptive systemic response, while intubated fish exhibited a mucosal response in the intestine. Neither route showed significant differential expression of cd8a. The specific antibody response elicited in vivo and the lack of any signs of toxicity over the 6-week study period in young fish (n = 100), evidences the potential of the nanoparticle as a vaccine candidate.

Abstract
DNA vaccines have been widely employed in controlling viral and bacterial infections in mammals and teleost fish. Co-injection of molecular adjuvants, including chemokines, cytokines, and immune co-stimulatory molecules, is one of the potential strategies used to improve DNA vaccine efficacy. In mammals and teleost fish, interleukin-34 (IL-34) had been described as a multifunctional cytokine and its immunological role had been confirmed; however, the adjuvant capacity of IL-34 remains to be elucidated. In this study, IL-34 was identified in largemouth bass. A recombinant plasmid of IL-34 (pcIL-34) was constructed and co-administered with a DNA vaccine encoding hypoxic response protein 1 (Hrp1; pcHrp1) to evaluate the adjuvant capacity of pcIL-34 against Nocardia seriolae infection. Our results indicated that pcIL-34 co-injected with pcHrp1 not only triggered innate immunity and a specific antibody response, but also enhanced the mRNA expression level of immune-related genes encoding for cytokines, chemokines, and humoral and cell-mediated immunity. Moreover, pcIL-34 enhanced the protection of pcHrp1 against N. seriolae challenge and conferred the relative percent survival of 82.14%. Collectively, IL-34 is a promising adjuvant in a DNA vaccine against nocardiosis in fish.

Abstract
Oil-adjuvant formulated formalin killed cells of Flavobacterium psychrophilum (FKC + Adj) is strongly effective against bacterial cold-water disease (BCWD) in ayu Plecoglossus altivelis. In this study, we aimed to understand mechanisms underlying the strong protection by the vaccine in ayu. Antibody titer of FKC + Adj and formalin-killed cells (FKC) group was significantly higher than those of modified cytophaga broth injected (MCY) group and MCY with the adjuvant (MCY + Adj) group. The highest antibody titer was observed in FKC + Adj group. Granulomatous inflammation without lymphocyte cuff was observed in the spleen and trunk kidney of FKC + Adj and MCY + Adj group, while the size of the granuloma was bigger in FKC + Adj than in MCY + Adj group. Gene expression level for IL-8 was significantly up-regulated in FKC + Adj group at 4 weeks after the vaccination. In contrast, IL-10 gene expression level was significantly suppressed in FKC + Adj at 4 weeks after the vaccination. F. psychrophilum was almost cleared in the spleen and trunk kidney of FKC + Adj group within 2 days after the challenge. Fluorescent immunohistochemistry showed that a lot of bacterial signals were detected in the spleen and trunk kidney of challenged fish in MCY, FKC and MCY + Adj group. However, the fluorescent signal was not detected in the organs of FKC + Adj group after the challenge. These data suggest that F. psychrophilum is immediately cleared in FKC + Adj vaccinated fish and both specific antibody and activation of phagocytes are essential to clear F. psychrophilum in ayu.

Abstract
Vibrio harveyi is the pathogen causing vibriosis in marine-cultured animals, leading to massive deaths in farmed grouper around the world. It is urgent to develop an effective vaccine to prevent vibriosis. In the previous study, we developed a V. harveyi formalin-killed cells vaccine (FKC), and sought an effective adjuvant for enhancing the immune efficacy of vaccine. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the immune responses and protective effect of FKC combined with chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) or Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) in the pearl gentian grouper♀Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂E. lanceolatus. The results indicated the vaccine triggered a remarkably higher expression levels of IL-1β, IL-16, TNF-α, MHC-Iα and IgM in the kidney and spleen of groupers post-vaccination. Antibody titers, lysozyme, catalase, superoxide dismutase and total protein were significantly elevated in the vaccinated fish compared with those in the control. The experimental groupers were challenged intraperitoneally by V. harveyi at 35 d post-vaccination, and the relative percentage of survival (RPS) of group FKC + COS, FKC + APS, COS, APS and FKC were 80%, 72%, 52%, 47% and 55%, respectively. These results demonstrated COS and APS was the potential adjuvants for FKC against V. harveyi in aquaculture.

Abstract
In cultivated European eels, Aeromonas hydrophila, Edwardsiella anguillarum and Vibrio vulnificus are three important bacterial pathogens. In this study, European eels (Anguilla anguilla) were immunized by the bivalent expression products of the outer membrane protein (Omp) gene from A. hydrophila (OmpⅡ) and E. anguillarum (OmpA), and the effects of the bivalent protein (rOmpⅡ-A) on the immune function of the European eel were detected. Three hundred eels were divided average into three groups of PBS, adjuvant and rOmp. Eels of three goups were injected intraperitoneal with 0.2 mL of PBS (0.01 mol/L, pH7.4), PBS + F (PBS mixed equal volume of freund's uncomplete adjuvant) or rOmpⅡ-A (1 mg mL-1 rOmpⅡ-A mixed equal volume of freund's uncomplete adjuvant). Four immune-related genes expression, proliferation of whole blood cells, serum and skin mucus antibody titer, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and the relative percent of survival (RPS) were studied at different days (or hours) post the immunization. The results showed that the igm, lysC, mhc2 and sod gene in the liver, spleen, kidney and intestine tract were significant increased in the Omp group; On the 28 day post the immunization (dpi), blood cell proliferation was increased in the Omp group, and on the 14, 21, 28 and 42 dpi, antibody titers in serum and mucus of the Omp group were significantly higher than that of the PBS and adjuvant group, regardless of coating with bacteria or Omp antigen. The SOD activity of Omp group increased significantly in liver, kidney, skin mucus and serum from 14 to 42 dpi, especially in serum. Eels chanllenged by A. hydrophila, E. anguillarum and V. vulnificus in the bivalent Omp group showed the RPS were 83.33%, 55.56% and 44.44%, respectively. The results of this study showed that immunization of the bivalent Omp could effectively improve the immune function of European eels, and produced effectively protection to A. hydrophila and E. anguillarum infection. Simultaneously, the bivalent Omp also produced distinct cross-protection to the eels challenged by V. vulnificus.

Abstract
While triploid Atlantic salmon represent a practical and affordable solution to the issues associated with sexual maturation in the salmonid aquaculture industry, empirical evidence suggests triploids are more susceptible to disease and vaccine side-effects than diploids. With vaccination now part of routine husbandry, it is essential their response be studied to confirm their suitability for commercial production. This study tested the response of triploid and diploid Atlantic salmon to vaccination with commercially available vaccines. Triploid and diploid Atlantic salmon siblings were injected with one of three commercial vaccines (or sham-vaccinated) and monitored for performance throughout a commercial production cycle. Sampling at smolt and harvest was undertaken along with individual weight and length assessments through the cycle. Antibody response to Aeromonas salmonicida vaccination was similar in both ploidy, with a positive response in vaccine-injected fish. For both adhesions and melanin, analysis found that higher scores were more likely to occur as the anticipated severity of the vaccine increased. In addition, for adhesion scores at smolt and melanin scores at smolt and harvest, triploids were statistically more likely to exhibit high scores than diploids. Triploids maintained a significantly higher body weight during freshwater and until 11 months post-seawater transfer, with diploids weighing significantly more at harvest. Growth, represented by thermal growth coefficient (TGC), decreased in both ploidy as the severity of adhesions increased, and regression patterns did not differ significantly between ploidy. Vertebral deformity prevalence was consistently higher in triploids (smolt 12.3 ± 4.5%; harvest 34.9 ± 5.9%) than diploids (smolt 0.8 ± 0.5%; harvest 15.9 ± 1.9%), with no significant difference between vaccine groups in each ploidy. This study demonstrates that triploids respond as well to vaccination as diploids and provides further supporting evidence of triploid robustness for commercial aquaculture.

Abstract
In cultivated European eels, Aeromonas hydrophila, Edwardsiella anguillarum and Vibrio vulnificus are three important bacterial pathogens. In this study, an expressed recombinant Outer membrane proteinⅡ (rOmpⅡ) from A. hydrophila was intraperitoneally injected into European eels (Angullia angullia). All examined eels were equally divided into three groups. One group was injected with PBS only (PBS group), one group was injected with 1:1 mixture of PBS and Freund's incomplete adjuvant (PBS + F, adjuvant group), and the third group was injected with 1:1 mixture of 1 mg mL-1 rOmpⅡ and Freund's incomplete adjuvant (rOmpⅡ+F, OmpⅡ group). The immunogenicity of OmpⅡ was studied by detecting the expression of 4 immune-related genes, stimulation index (SI) of the whole blood cell, serum antibody titer, lysozyme and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity, and relative percent of survival (RPS) rate. The results showed that gene expression of MHC-Ⅱ, LysC, SOD and IgM in the OmpⅡ group significantly increased in liver, spleen, kidney and intestine. At 28 days post the immunization (dpi), the SI of whole blood cells in the OmpⅡ group increased significantly; at 14, 21, 28 and 42 dpi, the serum antibody titers against A. hydrophila and E. anguillarum in the OmpⅡ group were significantly higher than that of the PBS and the adjuvant group; the SOD in the OmpⅡ group was found increased significantly in liver, kidney, mucus and serum. On the 28 dpi, eels were challenged by A. hydrophila, E. anguillarum and V. vulnificus for cross protection study. The results showed that the RPS of the OmpⅡ group were 83.33%, 55.56% and 33.33% respectively. These results showed that the expressed OmpⅡ from A. hydrophila significantly improve the immune function of Europena eels and their resistance to the infection of A. hydrophila and E. anguillarum simultaneously.

Abstract
In the past decades, the aquaculture industry made great progress in China, which contributes more than 70% yield of the world's farmed fish. Along with the rapid growth of fish production, increased emergence and outbreak of numbers of diseases pose harm to the aquaculture industry and food safety. From the efficient, safe, environmental and ethical aspects, vaccines is definitely the most appropriate and focused method to control different kinds of fish diseases. In China, researchers have done huge works on the fish vaccines, and so far six domestic aquatic vaccine products along with one imported aquatic vaccine have obtained the national veterinary medicine certificate. More critically, some new vaccines have also entered the field experiment stage and showed broad market prospects. In the present review, authors summarize seven aquatic vaccines, including the live vaccine against grass carp hemorrhagic disease, the inactivated vaccine against Aeromonas hydrophila sepsis in fish, the live vaccine against Edwardsiella tarda in turbot, the anti-idiotypic antibody vaccine against Vibrio alginolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus, and E. tarda in Japanese flounder, the cell-cultured inactivated vaccine against grass carp hemorrhagic disease, the inactivated vaccine against fish infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), and the genetically engineered live vaccine against V. anguillarum in turbot. Moreover, different delivery routes of fish vaccines are also compared in this review, along with differential fish immune response after vaccination. All these efforts will ultimately benefit the healthy and sustainable development of aquaculture industry in China.

Abstract
Aquaculture is an important industry in Japan for the sustainable production of fish. It contributes to the diversity of Japanese traditional food culture, which uses fish such as "sushi" and "sashimi". In the recent aquaculture setting in Japan, infectious diseases have been an unavoidable problem and have caused serious economic losses. Therefore, there is an urgent need to overcome the disease problem to increase the productivity of aquaculture. Although our country has developed various effective vaccines against fish pathogens, which have contributed to disease prevention on fish farms, infectious diseases that cannot be controlled by conventional inactivated vaccines are still a problem. Therefore, other approaches to developing effective vaccines other than inactivated vaccines are required. This review introduces the vaccine used in Japan within the context of the current status of finfish aquacultural production and disease problems. This review also summarizes the current research into vaccine development and discusses the future perspectives of fish vaccines, focusing on the problems associated with vaccine promotion in Japan.

Abstract
Immersion vaccines are used for a variety of aquacultured fish to protect against infectious diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. During immersion vaccination the antigens are taken up by the skin, gills or gut and processed by the immune system, where the resulting response may lead to protection. The lack of classical secondary responses following repeated immersion vaccination may partly be explained by the limited uptake of antigens by immersion compared to injection. Administration of vaccines depends on the size of the fish. In most cases, immersion vaccination is inferior to injection vaccination with regard to achieved protection. However, injection is problematic in small fish, and fry as small as 0.5 gram may be immersion vaccinated when they are considered adaptively immunocompetent. Inactivated vaccines are, in many cases, weakly immunogenic, resulting in low protection after immersion vaccination. Therefore, during recent years, several studies have focused on different ways to augment the efficacy of these vaccines. Examples are booster vaccination, administration of immunostimulants/adjuvants, pretreatment with low frequency ultrasound, use of live attenuated and DNA vaccines, preincubation in hyperosmotic solutions, percutaneous application of a multiple puncture instrument and application of more suitable inactivation chemicals. Electrostatic coating with positively charged chitosan to obtain mucoadhesive vaccines and a more efficient delivery of inactivated vaccines has also been successful.

Abstract
Fish diseases are often caused either by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, or a combination of these pathogens. Of these, bacterial fish diseases are considered to be a major problem in the aquaculture industry. Hence, the prevention of such diseases by proper vaccination is one of the integral strategies in fish health management, aimed at reducing the fish mortality rate in the aquaculture farms. Vaccination offers an effective yet low-cost solution to combat the risk of disease in fish farming. An appropriate vaccination regime to prevent bacterial diseases offers a solution against the harmful effects of antibiotic applications. This review discusses the role of live-attenuated vaccine in controlling bacterial diseases and the development of such vaccines and their vaccination strategy. The current achievements and potential applications of live-attenuated and combined vaccines are also highlighted. Vaccine development is concluded to be a demanding process, as it must satisfy the requirements of the aquaculture industry.

Abstract
Fish immunization has been carried out for over 50 years and is generally accepted as an effective method for preventing a wide range of bacterial and viral diseases. Vaccination efforts contribute to environmental, social, and economic sustainability in global aquaculture. Most licensed fish vaccines have traditionally been inactivated microorganisms that were formulated with adjuvants and delivered through immersion or injection routes. Live vaccines are more efficacious, as they mimic natural pathogen infection and generate a strong antibody response, thus having a greater potential to be administered via oral or immersion routes. Modern vaccine technology has targeted specific pathogen components, and vaccines developed using such approaches may include subunit, or recombinant, DNA/RNA particle vaccines. These advanced technologies have been developed globally and appear to induce greater levels of immunity than traditional fish vaccines. Advanced technologies have shown great promise for the future of aquaculture vaccines and will provide health benefits and enhanced economic potential for producers. This review describes the use of conventional aquaculture vaccines and provides an overview of current molecular approaches and strategies that are promising for new aquaculture vaccine development.

Abstract
Although viruses represent a major threat for cultured fish worldwide, the commercialization of vaccines capable of providing effective and long-lasting protection is still lacking for most of these viral diseases. In this situation, the use of supplemented diets could be a suitable strategy to increase the immune status of the fish and reduce the impact of viral pathogens. Among possible immunostimulants that could be included in these functional feeds, some studies have previously shown that certain β-glucans can significantly increase certain immune parameters of fish and reduce the impact of viral diseases. However, the mechanisms through which β-glucans exert their activity have not been fully elucidated yet. In the current study, we have studied the immune response of different tissues to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) in rainbow trout fed with a non-supplemented control diet as well as in fish fed a commercial functional aquafeed (Protec™, Skretting) containing β-glucans, vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc. For this, after 30 days of feeding the fish with one of the two diets, they were subsequently infected with VHSV by bath or mock-infected. After 2 or 6 days post-infection, fish were sacrificed and the levels of transcription of different immune genes such as IgM, IgT, IgD, Mx, interferon γ (IFN γ) and perforin studied in different tissues (kidney, gut and gills). Additionally, the levels of natural IgMs in serum were also determined. Our results demonstrate that fish fed the functional diet were capable of mounting an increased IgM, IgT, IgD and Mx transcriptional response to the virus. Additionally, these fish also showed increased levels of natural IgMs in serum. These results reveal a previously undescribed effect of functional diets on fish Ig production and point to Protec™ as an adequate diet to be incorporated in holistic programs aimed at mitigating the effect of viral diseases.

Abstract
Photobacteriosis caused by Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida (Pdp) remains one of the main infectious diseases affecting cultured fish in Mediterranean countries. Diverse vaccine formulations based in the use of inactivated bacterial cells have been used with unsatisfactory results, especially in newly cultured species like sole (Solea senegalensis). In this work, we describe the use of the outer membrane receptor (FrpA) of the siderophore piscibactin produced by Pdp as a novel subunit vaccine against photobacteriosis. FrpA has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli under an arabinose-inducible promoter. A recombinant protein (rFrpA) containing the pelB localization signal and a His tag was constructed to obtain a pure native form of the protein from E. coli outer membranes. The immunogenicity of rFrpA, and its protective effect against photobacteriosis, was tested by i.p. injection of 30 μg of the protein, mixed with Freund's adjuvant, in sole fingerlings with two immunizations separated by 30 days. Results showed that using either pure rFrpA or whole cells as immobilized antigens in ELISA assays, rFrpA induces the production of specific antibodies in sole. An experimental infection using fish vaccinated with rFrpA or formalin-killed whole cells of Pdp showed that both groups were protected against Pdp infection at similar levels, with no significant differences, reaching RPS values of 73% and 79%, respectively. Thus, FrpA constitutes a promising antigen candidate for the development of novel more effective vaccines against fish photobacteriosis.

Abstract
Aquaculture is one of the world's most important and fastest growing food production sectors, with an average annual growth of 5.8% during the period 2001-2016. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is one of the main aquatic species produced for human consumption and is the world's third most produced finfish. Koi carp, on the other hand, are grown as a popular ornamental fish. In the late 1990s, both of these sectors were threatened by the emergence of a deadly disease caused by cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3; initially called koi herpesvirus or KHV). Since then, several research groups have focused their work on developing methods to fight this disease. Despite increasing knowledge about the pathobiology of this virus, there are currently no efficient and cost-effective therapeutic methods available to fight this disease. Facing the lack of efficient treatments, safe and efficacious prophylactic methods such as the use of vaccines represent the most promising approach to the control of this virus. The common carp production sector is not a heavily industrialized production sector and the fish produced have low individual value. Therefore, development of vaccine methods adapted to mass vaccination are more suitable. Multiple vaccine candidates against CyHV-3 have been developed and studied, including DNA, bacterial vector, inactivated, conventional attenuated and recombinant attenuated vaccines. However, there is currently only one vaccine commercially available in limited regions. The present review aims to summarize and evaluate the knowledge acquired from the study of these vaccines against CyHV-3 and provide discussion on future prospects.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 93:1018-1027. [PMID: 31446082 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2019.08.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2019] [Revised: 08/16/2019] [Accepted: 08/22/2019] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
In our previous study, a DNA plasmid encoding the VAA gene of Vibrio anguillarum was constructed and demonstrated to confer moderated protection against V. anguillarum challenge. Here, a bicistronic DNA vaccine (pVAA-IRES-IL2), co-expressing the VAA gene of V. anguillarum and Interleukin-2 (IL2) gene of flounder, was constructed to increase the protective efficacy of VAA DNA vaccine. The potential of pVAA-IRES-IL2 to express both VAA and IL2 in transfected HINAE cell lines was confirmed by immunofluorescence assay. Further, the variation of sIgM+, CD4-1+, CD4-2+ lymphocytes and production of VAA-specific antibodies in flounder, which was intramuscularly immunized with three DNA plasmids (pIRES, pVAA-IRES, pVAA-IRES-IL2), were investigated, respectively. The bacterial burden and relative percentage survival (RPS) of flounder exposed to V. anguillarum infection were both analyzed to evaluate the efficacy of bicistronic DNA plasmid. Our results revealed that the percentages of sIgM+, CD4-1+, CD4-2+ lymphocytes and antibodies specific to VAA were remarkably increased in pVAA-IRES or pVAA-IRES-IL2 immunized fish. Moreover, the co-expression of IL2 enhanced the immune response in response to VAA DNA vaccination, as shown by the higher percentages of sIgM+, CD4-1+, CD4-2+ lymphocytes and production of specific antibody. Importantly, the RPS in pVAA-IRES-IL2 and pVAA-IRES groups reached 64.1% and 51.3%, respectively, when compared with the 97.5% cumulative mortality in pIRES group. Furthermore, the number of V. anguillarum in liver, spleen and kidney of pVAA-IRES or pVAA-IRES-IL2 immunized flounder after V. anguillarum challenge was significantly reduced, as compared to that in pIRES group. These suggest that the bicistronic DNA vaccine can be an effective immunization strategy in inducing immune response against V. anguillarum infection and IL2 has the potential as the adjuvant for VAA DNA vaccine.

Current State of Modern Biotechnological-Based Aeromonas hydrophila Vaccines for Aquaculture: A Systematic Review. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:3768948. [PMID: 31467887 PMCID: PMC6699303 DOI: 10.1155/2019/3768948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2019] [Accepted: 07/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
This systematic review describes what “the cutting edge vaccines for Aeromonas hydrophila are”. The focus is on types of high tech biotechnological based vaccines, target gene or antigen in developing these vaccines, and challenge model fish species used in vaccines efficacy testing. Vaccines delivery methods, immune response, and their efficacy, adjuvant or carrier systems used, and the overall experimental setup or design of the vaccines under investigation are also described. The search for the original papers published between 2009 and 2018 was conducted in June of 2018, using the PubMed and Google scholar electronic database. Twenty-three (23/4386) studies were included in the final assembly using PRISMA guidelines (Protocol not registered). Recombinant protein vaccines were the highly experimented type of the modern biotechnological based vaccines identified in the selected studies (16/23; 70%). Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of different β-barrels were shown to be a potential antigenic entity for A. hydrophila vaccines (57%). Intraperitoneal route with conventional carries or adjuvants was the highly applied delivery system while very few studies used herbal based vaccine adjuvants and nanomaterial as a vaccine carrier. Variation was observed in terms of protection levels in the selected studies. The experimental designs partly contributed to the observed variation. Therefore, recombinant vaccines that use new carrier system technologies and delivered through oral route in feeds would have been of great value for use in the prevention and control of A. hydrophila infections in fish. Despite the usefulness as academic tools to identify what is important in pathogenicity of the etiological agent to the host fish, these vaccines are only economically viable in very high-value animals. Therefore, if vaccination is a good option for A. hydrophila group, then simple autogenous vaccines based on accurate typing and evidence-based definition of the epidemiological unit for their use would be the most viable approach in terms of both efficacy and economic feasibility especially in low and middle-income countries (LMIC).

Abstract
A vaccine against streptococcosis, lactococcosis and enterococcosis in tilapia was formulated, ME-VAC Aqua Strept, as a polyvalent inactivated vaccine containing Streptococcus agalactiae, S. iniae, Lactococcus garvieae and Enterococcus faecalis along with a nano-particulate adjuvant. Use of ME-VAC Aqua Strept by injection or immersion resulted in an improved non-specific and adaptive immunity of broodstock and offspring. Intra-peritoneal vaccination of tilapia broodstock increased the total leukocyte count, phagocytosis, lysozyme activity, antibody titer, number of seeds/vaccinated broodstock, seeds quality and survival rates. Also, immersion mass vaccination of tilapia larvae provided a long period of protection up to three months, with a relative percent of survivability (RPS) not less than 60% at this time. To our knowledge, this vaccine may be the first to offer a combined protection against streptococcosis, lactococcosis and enterococcosis in tilapia. The results support the use of this vaccine as an effective tool for disease control and well-being of fish.

Molecular characterization, phylogenetic analysis and adjuvant effect of channel catfish interleukin-1βs against Streptococcus iniae. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 87:155-165.

Abstract
Channel catfish is one of the most extensively cultured species worldwide, which is widely used as a classical model for comparative immunology. Interleukin-1β (IL1β) is an immunoregulatory cytokine with the potential to enhance the immune response induced by vaccines in many animals. To characterize the molecular characterization and identify the immunoadjuvant role of channel catfish IL1β, molecular cloning, phylogenetic analysis, and expression of two IL1β genes were performed, the bioactivity of their recombinant proteins (rIL1β1 and rIL1β2) were detected in vitro and their adjuvant effects on a subunit vaccine encoding C5a peptidase (pSCPI) of Streptococcus iniae were evaluated. The results indicated that two IL1βs remained highly conserved possessing five conserved motifs compared with other fish IL1βs, although there were 28 nucleotide differences and 16 amino acid differences between channel catfish IL1β1 and IL1β2. Analysis of the ratios of nonsynonymous (dN) and synonymous (dS) substitutions revealed that fish IL1β genes were subjected to negative/purifying selection with global dN/dS ratios value 0.425. The results of adjuvant effect showed that compared with injection of pSCPI alone, co-injecting pSCPI with both rIL1β1 and rIL1β2 significantly enhanced antibody levels, serum bactericidal activity, lysozyme activity, alternative complement hemolytic activity, and the expression of endogenous IL1β and TNF-α in head kidney and spleen. Although vaccination with rIL1β1 or rIL1β2 failed to offer immunoprotection against S. iniae infection, the RPS (relative percent survival) of pSCPI+rIL1β1 and pSCPI+rIL1β2 groups were both higher than pSCPI alone (RPS, 50%), with 64.26% and 60.71%, respectively. Moreover, pSCPI+rIL1β1+rIL1β2 offered significantly higher (P < 0.05) immunoprotection (RPS, 75%) against S. iniae infection than pSCPI alone. Our present results not only enrich the molecular structure study of fish IL1βs but also signify that two recombinant channel catfish IL1βs can be used as potential adjuvants in a subunit vaccine model against bacterial infection, which are of profound importance to prevent and control bacterial disease in channel catfish.

Abstract
Oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) containing unmethylated CpG motifs have been widely postulated as vaccine adjuvants both in mammals and teleost fish. However, to date, the effects that CpGs provoke on cells of the adaptive immune system remain mostly unexplored in fish. Given that rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) IgM+ B cells from spleen and blood transcribe high levels of toll like receptor 9 (TLR9), the receptor responsible for CpG detection in mammals, in the current work, we have investigated the effects of CpGs on both spleen and blood IgM+ B cells from this species. CpGs were shown to exert strong proliferative effects on both spleen and blood IgM+ B cells, also increasing their survival. The fact that CpGs increase the size of IgM+ B cells, reduce the expression of surface IgM and IgD and up-regulate the number of IgM-secreting cells strongly suggest that IgM+ B cells differentiate to plasmablasts/plasma cells in response to CpG stimulation. Additionally, CpGs were shown to modulate the antigen presenting capacities of trout IgM+ B cells through an increased surface MHC II expression and transcriptional up-regulation of co-stimulatory molecules, although in this case, significant differences were observed between the effects exerted on spleen and blood cells. Similarly, differences were observed between spleen and blood IgM+ B cells when CpG stimulation was combined with B cell receptor (BCR) cross-linking. Finally, CpGs were also shown to affect innate functions of teleost IgM+ B cells such as their phagocytic capacity. These results demonstrate that CpGs regulate many adaptive and innate functions of teleost B cells, supporting their inclusion as adjuvants in novel vaccine formulations.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern-recognition receptors that detect a wide variety of microbial pathogens for the initiation of host defense immunological responses. Thirteen TLRs have been identified in mammals, and teleosts contain 22 mammalian or non-mammalian TLRs. Of these, TLR9 and TLR21 are the cytosine-phosphate-guanosine-oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) recognition TLRs in teleosts. TLR9 is a mammalian TLR expressed in teleost but not in the avian species. TLR21 is a non-mammalian TLR expressed in both teleost and the avian species. Synthetic CpG-ODNs are potent immunostimulants that are being studied for their application against tumors, allergies, and infectious diseases, and as a vaccine adjuvant in humans. The immunostimulatory effects of CpG-ODNs as vaccine adjuvants and their antimicrobial function in domestic animals and teleosts are also being investigated. Most of our current knowledge about the molecular basis for the immunostimulatory activity of CpG-ODNs comes from earlier studies of the interaction between CpG-ODN and TLR9. More recent studies indicate that in addition to TLR9, TLR21 is another receptor for CpG-ODN recognition in teleosts to initiate immune responses. Whether these two receptors have differential functions in mediating the immunostimulatory activity of CpG-ODN in teleost has not been well-studied. Nevertheless, the existence of two recognition TLRs suggests that the molecular basis for the immunostimulatory activity of CpG-ODN in teleosts is different and more complex than in mammals. This article reviews the current knowledge of TLR9 and TLR21 activation by CpG-ODNs. The key points that need to be considered for CpG-ODNs as immunostimulants with maximum effectiveness in activation of immune responses in teleosts are discussed. This includes the structure/activity relationship of CpG-ODN activities for TLR9 and TLR21, the structure/functional relationship of these two TLRs, and differential expression levels and tissue distributions for these two TLRs.

Abstract
Flavobacterium psychrophilum is the causative agent of Rainbow Trout Fry Syndrome which has had a major impact on global salmonid aquaculture. Recent outbreaks in Atlantic salmon in Scotland and Chile have added to the need for a vaccine to protect both salmon and trout. At present no licensed vaccines are available in Europe, leaving antibiotics as the only course of action to contain disease outbreaks. Outbreaks generally occur in fry at temperatures between 10 and 15 °C. Recently outbreaks in larger fish have given added impetus to the development of a vaccine which can provide long term protection from this highly heterogeneous pathogen. Most fish injectable vaccines are formulated with oil emulsion adjuvants to induce strong and long lasting immunity, but which are known to cause side effects. Alternative adjuvants are currently sought to minimise these adverse effects. The current study was performed to assess the efficacy of a polyvalent, whole cell vaccine containing formalin-inactivated F. psychrophilum to induce protective immunity in Atlantic salmon. The vaccine was formulated with an adjuvant containing squalene and aluminium hydroxide, and was compared to a vaccine formulated with a traditional oil adjuvant, Montanide ISA 760VG, and a non-adjuvanted vaccine. Duplicate groups of salmon (23.5 ± 6.8 g) were vaccinated with each of the vaccine formulations or phosphate buffered saline by intraperitoneal injection. Fish were challenged by intramuscular injection with F. psychrophilum six weeks post-vaccination to test the efficacy of the vaccines. Cumulative mortality reached 70% in the control salmon, while the groups of salmon that received vaccine had significantly lower mortality than the controls (p = 0.0001), with no significant difference in survival between vaccinated groups. The squalene/alum adjuvant was safe, more readily metabolised by the fish and induced less histopathological changes than the traditional oil adjuvant.

Abstract
We recently reported on a successful vaccine for carp against SVCV based on the intramuscular injection of a DNA plasmid encoding the SVCV glycoprotein (SVCV-G). This shows that the intramuscular (i.m.) route of vaccination is suitable to trigger protective responses against SVCV, and that the SVCV G-protein is a suitable vaccine antigen. Yet, despite the general success of DNA vaccines, especially against fish rhabdoviruses, their practical implementation still faces legislative as well as consumer's acceptance concerns. Furthermore, the i.m. route of plasmid administration is not easily combined with most of the current vaccination regimes largely based on intraperitoneal or immersion vaccination. For this reason, in the current study we evaluated possible alternatives to a DNA-based i.m. injectable vaccine using the SVCV-G protein as the vaccine antigen. To this end, we tested two parallel approaches: the first based on the optimization of an alginate encapsulation method for oral delivery of DNA and protein antigens; the second based on the baculovirus recombinant expression of transmembrane SVCV-G protein in insect cells, administered as whole-cell subunit vaccine through the oral and injection route. In addition, in the case of the oral DNA vaccine, we also investigated the potential benefits of the mucosal adjuvants Escherichia coli lymphotoxin subunit B (LTB). Despite the use of various vaccine types, doses, regimes, and administration routes, no protection was observed, contrary to the full protection obtained with our reference i.m. DNA vaccine. The limited protection observed under the various conditions used in this study, the nature of the host, of the pathogen, the type of vaccine and encapsulation method, will therefore be discussed in details to provide an outlook for future vaccination strategies against SVCV.

Abstract
A key goal of a successful vaccine formulation is the strong induction of persistent protective immune responses without producing side-effects. Adjuvants have been proved to be successful in several species at inducing increased immune responses against poorly immunogenic antigens. Fish are not the exception and promising results of adjuvanted vaccine formulations in many species are needed. In this study, over a period of 300 days, we characterized the apparent damage and immune response in gilthead seabream immunized by intraperitoneal injection with the model antigen keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) alone or formulated with Montanide ISA water-in-oil (761 or 763), or Imject™ aluminum hydroxide (aluminium), as adjuvants. Throughout the trial, external tissue damage was examined visually, but no change was observed. Internally, severe adhesions, increased fat tissue, and hepatomegaly were recorded, but, without impairing animal health. At 120 days post priming (dpp), histopathological evaluations of head-kidney, spleen and liver revealed the presence of altered melanomacrophage centers (MMC) in HK and spleen, but not in liver. Surprisingly, in all aluminium treated fish, classical stains unmasked a toxic effect on splenic-MMC, unequivocally characterized by a strong cell depletion. Furthermore, at 170 dpp transmission electron microscopy confirmed this data. Paradoxically, at the same time powerful immune responses were recorded in most vaccinated groups, including the aluminium treatment. Whatever the case, despite the observed adhesions and MMC depletion, fish physiology was not affected, and most side-effects were resolved after 300 dpp. Therefore, our data support adjuvant inclusion, but strongly suggest that use of aluminium must be further explored in detail before it might benefit the rational design of new vaccination strategies in aquaculture.

Abstract
Flavobacterium psychrophilum is one of the most important pathogens affecting cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Recent information from UK salmonid farms showed country-wide distribution of genetically and serologically divergent clones, which has hampered the development of a vaccine for rainbow trout fry syndrome. The current study assessed the efficacy of an injectable polyvalent vaccine containing formalin-inactivated F. psychrophilum in rainbow trout. The vaccine was formulated with an oil adjuvant (Montanide ISA 760VG) or formalin-killed cells alone. Duplicate groups of trout (60 ± 13 g) were given phosphate-buffered saline or vaccine formulated with Montanide by intra-peritoneal (i.p.) injection and challenged by intra-muscular (i.m.) injection with a homologous and a heterologous isolate of F. psychrophilum at 525 degree days post-vaccination (dd pv). Significant protection was achieved in vaccinated fish (p = 0.0001, RPS 76% homologous, 88% heterologous). Efficacy of the adjuvanted vaccine was also demonstrated by heterologous challenge at 1155 dd pv resulting in 100% protection, whereas survival in the un-adjuvanted group was not significantly different from control fish. Levels of specific antibody at 1155 dd pv, as measured by ELISA, were significantly higher in the fish vaccinated with adjuvant when compared with unvaccinated fish.

Pichia pastoris yeast as a vehicle for oral vaccination of larval and adult teleosts. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 85:52-60.

Abstract
Oral vaccination is of major interest because it can be used for mass vaccination of fish of various size and age. Given that their administration is relatively easy and stress-free, oral vaccines have both economic and animal welfare benefits. Yet, mostly due to their limited efficacy, only very few oral vaccines are available to aquaculture industry. Here we present a method for oral vaccine delivery based on the yeast Pichia pastoris. We could express a model antigen, green fluorescent protein (GFP), in this yeast and subsequently show delivery of the GFP protein to the intestine of juvenile flounder or adult carp and trout. We tested this approach in several commercially-relevant fish species, from juvenile to adult stage. To test the oral delivery of antigen to larval fish, the GFP-expressing Pichia pastoris was first fed to planktonic crustacean Daphnia or rotifers that served as 'bioencapsulation vehicles' and afterwards, fed to flounder larvae. Again, we could show delivery of intact GFP protein to the intestine. In rainbow trout, the orally-administered GFP-expressing yeast elicited a rapid local innate immune response in the intestine and a subsequent systemic response in the spleen. Our results show that Pichia pastoris is a good vehicle for oral antigen delivery and that it can be used in non-encapsulated form for older fish or in bioencapsulated form for larval fish. We discuss the immunomodulatory properties of the yeast itself, and its potential to enhance local immune responses and act as an adjuvant.

Abstract
Immunostimulants and vaccines are important for controlling infectious diseases in fish aquaculture. In this study we assess the potential of flagellin to be used for such purposes in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). A recombinant flagellin from the salmonid pathogen Yersinia ruckeri (YRF) has been produced previously by us and shown to be a potent activator of inflammatory cytokines, acute phase proteins and antimicrobial peptides in vitro. Here we show that YRF is the most potent inflammatory activator of three bacterial PAMPs (LPS, peptidoglycan and flagellin) tested. The host response to flagellin was next studied in vivo. The YRF modulated gene expression was examined in two systemic (spleen and liver) and two mucosa-associated (gills and skin) tissues. YRF injection initiated a transient systemic inflammatory response with key pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNFα, IL-6, and IL-11 etc.) and chemokines (CXCL_F4 and CXCL-8) induced rapidly (by 6 h) but subsiding quickly (by 24 h) in multiple tissues. Consequently, a variety of anti-microbial pathways were activated systemically with heightened expression of acute phase proteins, antimicrobial peptides and complement genes in multiple tissues, which was sustained to 24 h in the liver and mucosal tissues. The Th17 cytokine IL-17A/F1 was also induced in the spleen and liver, and Th2 cytokine IL-4/13 was induced in the liver. However, the anti-inflammatory IL-10 and the Th1 cytokine IFNγ were refractory. A secreted form of TLR5 (TLR5s) was induced by flagellin in all tissues examined whilst the membrane form was refractory, suggesting that TLR5s may function as a negative feedback regulator. Trout liver appeared to be an important organ responding to flagellin stimulation, with marked induction of IL-11, IL-23P19, IL-17C1, SAA, and cathelicidin-2. YRF induced a strong antibody response. These antibodies reacted against the middle domain of YRF and were able to decrease YRF bioactivity. Intact YRF was necessary for its bioactivity, as deletion of the N-terminal, C terminal or middle domain of YRF led to functional loss. This study suggests that flagellin could be a potent immunostimulant and vaccine adjuvant for fish aquaculture.

Adjuvant effects of interleukin-2 co-expression with VP60 in an oral vaccine delivered by attenuated Salmonella typhimurium against rabbit hemorrhagic disease. Vet Microbiol 2019; 230:49-55.

Abstract
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) is a highly contagious infection that has caused significant damage to the rabbit industry since 1984. Inactivated vaccines, the currently used prevention measures, are effective in controlling RHD. However, these vaccines are derived from the livers of infected rabbits, which constitutes a major concern in terms of animal welfare and safety. Administration of DNA vaccines in collaboration with appropriate adjuvants, in particular, cytokines, to strengthen the immune response presents a novel optimization strategy to generate more efficient vaccines. In this study, the adjuvant effect of interleukin (IL)-2 co-expression with the VP60 gene in a DNA vaccine was evaluated. In total, four groups of 60 RHD virus (RHDV)-free rabbits (30 days old) were orally or subcutaneously administered recombinant SL7207-pVAX1-IL2-VP60, SL7207-pVAX1-VP60, SL7207-pVAX1 bacteria or the commercial inactive vaccine, and the induced immunity evaluated by challenge with the RHDV(Y8504/China) strain on day 56. The Recombinant SL7207-pVAX1-IL2-VP60 induced a higher level of antibodies than the vaccine SL7207-pVAX1-VP60 and inactivated vaccines to a significant extent. The concentrations of interleukin (IL)-4 were markedly higher than those in groups immunized with the naked or inactive vaccine alone. Furthermore, the fusion gene vaccine provided higher protection (93.33%) after virus challenge relative to immunization with the single gene (SL7207-pVAX1-VP60). The collective results indicate that recombinant SL7207-pVAX1-IL-2-VP60 bacteria exert enhanced protective effects against RHDV and therefore present a strong candidate as a potential vaccine. Moreover, IL-2 enhanced both humoral and cellular responses, highlighting the utility of rabbit IL-2 as an effective adjuvant.

Abstract
Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) is a commercially important fish species in China. Despite of its great economic potential, fish farms often suffer severe economic losses due to certain fish diseases. Vaccination has become a common strategy to prevent diseases caused by pathogens in aquaculture industry. However, no inactivated vaccine against Vibrio harveyi of turbot has been reported so far. In this study, we developed an inactivated vaccine using formalin-killed cells of V. harveyi and the efficacy of a commercial adjuvant Montanide™ ISA 763 A VG on the inactivated vaccine was evaluated. We found that with an optimum vaccine dosage at 1.0 × 108 CFU/fish, a high relative percent survival (RPS) more than 75% was observed at 4 weeks post vaccination (w.p.v.). Moreover, enhanced antibody titer, lysozyme activity, total serum protein and antibacterial property in sera of vaccinated fish were observed at 4, 8, 12 and 16 w.p.v. In conclusion, we developed an efficient inactivated vaccine against V. harveyi in turbot, which not only induced humoral immunity, but also enhanced initial innate immune response for long-term protection.

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of Freund's adjuvants (FCA/FIA) on protection and immune response of Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus immunized by the formalin-killed cell (FKC) of Edwardsiella tarda. Combination of FKC and FCA/FIA did not confer protection against the challenge, while they significantly induced higher antibody titers than that of FKC only. The suppression of FKC-dependent induction of interferon γ (IFNγ) mRNA levels by FCA/FIA was observed by gene expression profiling. Similarly, interleukin (IL)-12 p35 mRNA levels were not detected after FKC+FCA or +FIA. These results suggest that the mineral oil in Freund's adjuvants might suppress the signaling pathway(s) that induce IFNγ and IL-12 gene expression.

Abstract
Iron-related proteins play important roles in iron homeostasis, and they may be potential vaccine candidates against pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila. In addition, the encapsulation of antigens in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has recently been shown to effectively stimulate the host immune response. To investigate the immune response of zebrafish to iron-related proteins and SWCNT-encapsulated proteins, we overexpressed and purified four iron-related recombinant proteins (P55870, A0KGK5, A0KPP0, and A0KIY3) from A. hydrophila. We then vaccinated zebrafish with these proteins and their SWCNT-encapsulated counterparts via both intraperitoneal injection and bath immunization. The target proteins evoked an immune response in zebrafish after intraperitoneal injection, and SWCNT-encapsulation significantly increased the immune response after bath immunization. When challenged with virulent A. hydrophila, zebrafish administered 5 μg intraperitoneal injections of SWCNT-P55870, A0KGK5, A0KPP0, or A0KIY3 had remarkably high relative percent survivals (RPSs) (50%, 55.6%, 66.7%, and 94.44% respectively). The RPSs of zebrafish vaccinated via immunization bath with 40 mg/L SWCNT-encapsulated counterparts were also high (52.94%, 55.56%, 61.11%, and 86.11%, respectively). These results indicated that zebrafish vaccinated with P55870, A0KGK5, SWCNT-P55870, and SWCNT-A0KGK5 were partially protected, while A0KPP0 and A0KIY3 were promising vaccine candidates against pathogenic A. hydrophila infection.
