Abstract
Adjuvants are the important part of vaccine manufacturing as they elicit the vaccination effect and enhance the durability of the immune response through controlled release. In light of this, nanoadjuvants have shown unique broad spectrum advantages. As nanoparticles (NPs) based vaccines are fast-acting and better in terms of safety and usability parameters as compared to traditional vaccines, they have attracted the attention of researchers. A vaccine nanocarrier is another interesting and promising area for the development of next-generation vaccines for prophylaxis. This review looks at the various nanoadjuvants and their structure-function relationships. It compiles the state-of-art literature on numerous nanoadjuvants to help domain researchers orient their understanding and extend their endeavors in vaccines research and development.

Abstract
Prophylactic vaccines have evolved from traditional whole-cell vaccines to safer subunit vaccines. However, subunit vaccines still face problems, such as poor immunogenicity and low efficiency, while traditional adjuvants are usually unable to meet specific response needs. Advanced delivery vectors are important to overcome these barriers; they have favorable safety and effectiveness, tunable properties, precise location, and immunomodulatory capabilities. Nevertheless, there has been no systematic summary of the delivery systems to cover a wide range of infectious pathogens. We herein summarized and compared the delivery systems for major or epidemic infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. We also included the newly licensed vaccines (e.g., COVID-19 vaccines) and those close to licensure. Furthermore, we highlighted advanced delivery systems with high efficiency, cross-protection, or long-term protection against epidemic pathogens, and we put forward prospects and thoughts on the development of future prophylactic vaccines.

Abstract
Due to emergence of new variants of pathogenic micro-organisms the treatment and immunization of infectious diseases have become a great challenge in the past few years. In the context of vaccine development remarkable efforts have been made to develop new vaccines and also to improve the efficacy of existing vaccines against specific diseases. To date, some vaccines are developed from protein subunits or killed pathogens, whilst several vaccines are based on live-attenuated organisms, which carry the risk of regaining their pathogenicity under certain immunocompromised conditions. To avoid this, the development of risk-free effective vaccines in conjunction with adequate delivery systems are considered as an imperative need to obtain desired humoral and cell-mediated immunity against infectious diseases. In the last several years, the use of nanoparticle-based vaccines has received a great attention to improve vaccine efficacy, immunization strategies, and targeted delivery to achieve desired immune responses at the cellular level. To improve vaccine efficacy, these nanocarriers should protect the antigens from premature proteolytic degradation, facilitate antigen uptake and processing by antigen presenting cells, control release, and should be safe for human use. Nanocarriers composed of lipids, proteins, metals or polymers have already been used to attain some of these attributes. In this context, several physico-chemical properties of nanoparticles play an important role in the determination of vaccine efficacy. This review article focuses on the applications of nanocarrier-based vaccine formulations and the strategies used for the functionalization of nanoparticles to accomplish efficient delivery of vaccines in order to induce desired host immunity against infectious diseases.

Abstract
The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the prospective of surface-engineered vesicular carriers for mucosal immunization via the nasal route. IgG antibody was immobilized on the surface of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) antigen-loaded liposomes. The developed formulations were characterized on the basis of physicochemical parameters, such as morphology, particle size, polydispersity index, entrapment efficiency, and zeta potential. Liposomal formulations were then evaluated for in-process antigen stability and storage stability. In vivo studies were conducted to visualize targeting potential, localization pattern, and immunogenicity. In addition, immune response was compared with alum-HBsAg vaccine injected intramuscularly. The serum anti-HBsAg titer, obtained from the postnasal administration of IgG-coupled liposomes, was significantly higher than plain liposomes. Moreover, IgG-coupled liposomes generated both humoral (i.e., systemic and mucosal) and cellular immune responses upon nasal administration, while the alum-adsorbed antigen displayed neither cellular (cytokine level) nor mucosal (IgA) response. The formulation also displayed enhanced transmucosal transport, improved in vitro stability, and effective immunoadjuvant property. To conclude, IgG antibody-coupled liposomes may serve as novel carriers to augment the secretory immune response of antigen encapsulated in the liposomes, apparently by escalating liposome uptake via M cells, thereby rationalizing their use as a carrier adjuvant for nasal subunit vaccines.

Abstract
Enhancement of the immune response leading to protection against bacterial and fungal infections was shown using different schedules of immunization with microbial pigments and a polysaccharide. The group of mice given carotenoids of Rhodotorula glutinis (preparation I) and polysaccharide of Spitulina platensis (IV) survived for 2 weeks after Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. The groups of mice given carotenoids (I), polysaccharide (IV), I+IV and with the crude phycocyanin of S. platensis (III)+IV survived for 2 weeks after Candida albicans infection. All other groups recorded a maximum level of mortality reaching 2 mice per group either after immunization or post-infection. Adding the carotenoids, phycocyanin and polysaccharides to food as additives might therefore enhance the human immune response against microbial infections.

Abstract
Leishmania infection causes localized cutaneous to severe visceral disease in humans and animals. Current control measures, based on antimonial compounds, are not effective because of resistance in Leishmania. Vaccination would be a feasible alternative, but as yet no vaccine to protect humans against infection has been commercialized. Parasite antigens that preferentially stimulate the induction of significant protection through Th1 response presents a rational approach for a vaccine against leishmaniasis. With this view in mind, we investigated the potential of 78kDa antigen of Leishmania donovani alone and along with different adjuvants against murine visceral leishmaniasis. Various adjuvants used along with 78kDa antigen include monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL-A), liposomal encapsulation, recombinant IL-12, autoclaved Leishmania antigen (ALD) and Freund's adjuvant (FCA). BALB/c mice were immunized subcutaneously thrice with respective vaccine formulation. Challenge infection was given intracardially after 2 weeks of second booster. A significant decrease in parasite burden was seen in vaccinees over the infected controls on all post challenge days and was found that maximum protection was provided by 78kDa+rIL-12 vaccine and it was highly immunogenic as depicted by the reduction in parasite load (71-94.8%), reduction in infection rate of peritoneal macrophages (92.9-98%), enhanced DTH response (6.5-10.5 fold), increase in IgG2a anti-leishmanial antibody production (3-3.7 fold) and up-regulation of IFN-gamma (3.7-6.5 fold) and IL-2 levels (7.7-12.3 fold), which demonstrate the generation of protective Th1 type of immune response. Comparable results were also observed in 78kDa+MPL-A and liposome-encapsulated 78kDa vaccines with 56.5-92% and 62.9-93.4% reduction in parasite load respectively. Significant results have also been obtained with 78kDa antigen+ALD, 78kDa antigen+FCA and 78kDa antigen alone group but the protective efficacy was reduced as compared to the other vaccine groups. The present study indicates that the three vaccine formulations i.e. 78kDa antigen+rIL-12, liposome-encapsulated 78kDa antigen and 78kDa antigen+MPL-A, are highly efficacious and effective vaccine candidates against visceral leishmaniasis.

Abstract
We propose the adjuvant effects of phospholipid liposome compositions using intranasal inoculation of a liposomal-Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccine in chickens. The immunogenicity of three liposome formulations was determined in chickens using the hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test, nasal secretory immunoglobulin A and serum immunoglobulin A (IgG) antibody titers using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The immune response against NDV antigens was determined after immunization with neutral charged liposomes composed of egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC) (60 micromol), cholesterol (Chol) (15 micromol), and EPC-liposomes (EPC-Lip), which elicited strong systemic (serum) and local (nasal) humoral responses. However, the intranasal administration with cationic charged liposomes composed of EPC (30 micromol), stearylamine (SA) (15 micromol), Chol (15 micromol), and SA-liposomes (SA-Lip) induced poor humoral immune responses. Only the vaccine formulated with anionic charged liposomes composed of EPC (30 micromol), dipalmitoylphosphatidylserine (15 micromol), Chol (15 micromol), and phosphatidylserine-liposomes (PS-Lip) elicited the highest titers of HI antibodies. These are the first results to suggest that antigen delivery using EPC-Lip is very useful in enhancing antibody production at the mucosal site and in serum.

Abstract
Parenteral administration of vaccines often does not lead to optimal or long lasting protection against disease causing organisms particularly those that are inhaled, ingested or sexually transmitted. For optimal mucosal protection induction of immune response via mucosal routes is therefore highly desirable. Double emulsion-solvent evaporation (w/o/w) method best suited for water-soluble bioactives was selected for the preparation of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loaded lipid microparticles. Intranasal route was considered for mucosal administration and hence to prepare the delivery system biocompatible and least irritable, soyalecithin (phospholipid) was taken instead of polymer because phosphatidylcholine is the major component of endogenous lung surfactant. The studies performed in present work included antigen characterization, development of lipid microparticles, stability studies of the prepared lipid microparticle formulations, percent mucoadhesion, ex vivo cellular uptake studies and in vivo studies. The general order obtained from in vivo studies for mucosal immune response (IgA) followed the sequence: LMST-HBsAg (IN)>LM-HBsAg (IN)>alum-HBsAg (IN)>LMST-HBsAg (IM)>alum-HBsAg (IM)>or=LM-HBsAg (IM)>plain HBsAg (IN)>plain HBsAg (IM).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the influence of route of nutrition on gut mucosal addressin cellular adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) expression and the effect of MAdCAM-1 blockade on gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) lymphocyte populations and established respiratory antibacterial immunity. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Lymphocytes, sensitized to antigens in Peyer's patches, migrate via mesenteric lymph nodes and home to intestinal lamina propria. MAdCAM-1 located on endothelial cells regulates this trafficking. Experimentally, parenteral nutrition (PN) decreases GALT cell mass and mucosal immunity when compared with enteral feeding. METHODS In experiment 1, MAdCAM-1 expression was quantified in 32 mice after 4 days of feeding chow, a complex diet, intragastric (IG)-PN, or PN. In experiment 2, MAdCAM-1 was measured in 102 mice 0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours after starting PN and at 0, 4, 8, 12, 24, or 48 hours after reinstituting chow following 5 days of PN. In experiment 3, 56 mice received chow, PN, chow + MECA-367 (anti-MAdCAM-1 mAb), or chow + Isotype control Ab (IsoAb) for 5 days, followed by Peyer's patches, lamina propria, and intraepithelial lymphocyte yield with respiratory and intestinal IgA levels. In experiment 4, 10 days after Pseudomonas immunization, mice received chow + MECA-367 or chow + IsoAb for 4 days followed by 1.2 x 108 Pseudomonas intratracheally. RESULTS Diet and route affect MAdCAM-1 expression (chow > complex diet > IG-PN > PN). Decreased MAdCAM-1 expression occurred within hours of starting PN in Peyer's patches, but not mesenteric lymph nodes or the intestine, and recovered quickly with enteral refeeding. MAdCAM-1 blockade reduced all GALT populations. Blockade had little effect on IgA levels and partially impaired the late response of established respiratory immunity. CONCLUSIONS Enteral feeding affects MAdCAM-1 expression. Complete MAdCAM-1 blockade reduces GALT lymphocytes to PN levels, but the chow feeding stimulus preserves IgA and early antibacterial resistance, implying the existence of non-MAdCAM-1 mechanisms to preserve mucosal immunity.

Abstract
Rapid development in biotechnology during the last decade has allowed novel ideas in the development of antiviral vaccines to be considered and provides interesting technological approaches to their realization. Designing of microencapsulated forms for delivering bacterial and viral antigens or antigenic complexes using biodegradable biopolymers is an important novel direction. This approach involves the production of polymeric spherical particles with a diameter of 1 microm to 3 mm, containing isolated viral antigens or whole viral particles. Microencapsulated antigens administered orally are protected from low pH values of the gastric juice, bile acids, their salts and proteolytic enzymes of the gastrointestinal tract. The ability to drastically potentiate the immune response to encapsulated antigens, together with the ability to penetrate into the intestinal and respiratory mucosae upon oral and tracheal administrations, respectively, with induction of local and systemic immune reactions are the special merits of such polymers. However, the majority of data on microencapsulated viral vaccines has so far been obtained in animal models, as well as a limited number of studies on the protective effect they elicit. Certain success in the development of vaccines against a number of human viral infections, such as hepatitis B, cytomegalovirus and rotavirus, gives hope to successful completion of this research. Presumably, such vaccines will be safe and innocuous, simple in administration and capable of inducing both the systemic and local immune responses at the primary portal of viral infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A significant body of clinical literature demonstrates that enteral feeding significantly reduces the incidence of pneumonia compared to patients fed parenterally. An immunologic link between the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract is postulated via the common mucosal immune hypothesis. This hypothesis states that cells are sensitized within the Peyer's patches of the small intestine and are subsequently distributed to submucosal locations in both intestinal and extra intestinal sites. This system is exquisitely sensitive to route and type of nutrition. DATA SOURCE This review examines the laboratory data regarding cell numbers, cell phenotypes, cytokine profile, and immunologic function in both intestinal and extra intestinal sites in animals that have been administered either parenteral feeding or various types of enteral feeding. It also establishes links between a specific nutrient, glutamine, the enteric nervous system, by way of neuropeptides, and mucosal immunity. CONCLUSION Progress in understanding relationships between nutrient availability, enteric nervous system stimulation, and nutrient delivery on mucosal immunity offers opportunities to explore immune systems previously not appreciated by clinicians and basic scientists. These opportunities offer new challenges to the physician scientist, basic scientist, and clinician to understand, manipulate, and apply these concepts to the critically ill patient population by favorably influencing immunologic barriers and the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Immunopotentiation of Staphylococcus aureus type 5 capsular polysaccharide (CP5) by use of liposomes as an alternative to protein-polysaccharide conjugates was investigated. Mice were immunized twice with cationic liposomes containing CP5 alone or CP5 co-entrapped with alpha-toxin or heat-detoxified alpha-toxin. Immunogenicity of these different antigens was compared with CP5-alpha-toxin conjugates. Antibodies against CP5 were elicited in mice immunized with conjugates or liposomes containing co-entrapped CP5 and alpha-toxin. Liposomes containing CP5 alone or co-entrapped CP5 and alpha-toxoid failed to induce antibodies against CP5. All the preparations entailed an antibody response against alpha-toxin and highest antibody and neutralizing activity titers were obtained with liposomes. These results show that liposomes can be used to immunopotentiate CP5, however, a co-incorporated protein able to insert lipids bilayers is probably required.

Abstract
The effectiveness of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) as a mucosal adjuvant was investigated following oral or intranasal (i.n.) administration of an aqueous adjuvant formulation of MPL (MPL-AF) added to soluble antigen or liposomal antigen or incorporated into liposomal antigen membranes. Groups of BALB/c female mice were immunized with 50 to 100 microg of free or liposomal Streptococcus mutans crude glucosyltransferase (C-GTF) with or without MPL-AF added to the vaccine or incorporated into the liposomal membrane. Plasma, saliva, vaginal wash, and fecal extract samples were collected biweekly following immunization and assessed for antigen-specific antibody activity by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Mice immunized by the i.n. route had higher levels of salivary, plasma, and vaginal immunoglobulin A (IgA) anti-C-GTF responses and higher levels of plasma IgG anti-C-GTF than the orally immunized groups. A second administration of the vaccine 14 weeks after the initial immunization resulted in an anamnestic response to C-GTF resulting in 10- and 100-fold increases in saliva and plasma IgA and plasma IgG, respectively (in the i.n. immunized groups). Mice receiving a second i.n. immunization with liposomal antigen and MPL-AF had higher salivary IgA anti-C-GTF responses than mice immunized with antigen plus MPL-AF or liposomal antigen (P < 0.05). Plasma IgG anti-C-GTF activity was highest in mice immunized by the i.n. route with antigen formulations containing MPL-AF (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate the effectiveness of MPL-AF as an adjuvant for potentiating mucosal and systemic immune responses to liposomal C-GTF following i.n. immunization.

Abstract
Group B streptococci (GBS) colonize the female genital and rectal tracts and can cause invasive infection in susceptible newborns. An optimally effective GBS vaccine should induce mucosal and systemic immunity. In this study, we investigate the local and systemic immune responses to GBS type III capsular polysaccharide (CPS) after mucosal vaccination of mice via intranasal, peroral, rectal, and vaginal routes, with GBS type III CPS conjugated with recombinant cholera toxin B subunit (GBS III CPS-rCTB). Cholera toxin (CT) was added as an adjuvant. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgA antibodies to the CPS were tested in serum, lungs, and intestinal, rectal, and vaginal extracts by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The conjugated CPS administered by intranasal, peroral, rectal, and vaginal routes was much more effective at inducing both mucosal and systemic antibody responses to GBS III CPS than was unconjugated CPS. The CPS-specific immune responses in various organs were dependent on the route of immunization. Generally, the highest levels of IgA and IgG were generated in the regions or sites of the conjugate exposure. Thus, intranasal vaccination elicited the highest anti-CPS IgA and IgG antibody levels in the lungs, whereas peroral administration in the intestinal site and vaginal vaccination elicited the highest antibody levels in the vagina. Rectal vaccination was superior to the other routes in inducing high antibody levels in the rectum. The four routes of mucosal vaccination also induced distant antibody responses to CPS. Rectal vaccination induced high specific IgA levels in the vagina and intestine, and oral administration induced high specific IgA levels in the lungs and rectum. All four routes of vaccination with the conjugate elicited similarly high levels of anti-CPS IgG in serum. Intranasal vaccination with different doses of the conjugate (10, 30, and 80 microg of CPS) did not have a significant influence on the anti-CPS specific antibody responses. Intranasal immunization induced better antibody responses when one dose of the conjugate was divided and given on three consecutive days compared to administration of the full dose on one occasion. In conclusion, rectal and vaginal vaccination may be the best way of stimulating anti-CPS immune responses in the rectal and vaginal tracts, while high levels of anti-CPS antibodies in the lungs can be achieved after intranasal administration. The vaccination regimen thus might influence the mucosal immune response to CPS. This conjugate may serve as an effective mucosal vaccine for preventing mucosal colonization and invasive infection caused by GBS.

Abstract
Immunization against phosphorylcholine (PC) linked to a protein protects mice against Streptococcus pneumoniae when used parenterally, and against Salmonella typhimurium when used orally after entrapment in D,L-Lactide-co-Glycolide microspheres. Here, we immunized BALB/c mice intranasally with a serotype 3 S. pneumoniae strain. Immunization was followed by a rise in anti-PC IgA and IgG titers in serum and in pulmonary secretions, but not by any rise in anti ds-DNA antibody nor any glomerular Ig deposition. The survival rates were 91 and 76% in the two groups of mice, respectively. These rates were significantly higher than those in control mice immunized intranasally either with Thyr loaded in microspheres (0%), blank microspheres (22%), free Thyr (17%), and saline (18%). This demonstrates that the mucosal route is effective for vaccination against S. pneumoniae pneumonia with PC linked to a protein carrier. It constitutes another important step forward in the development of the concept that PC can be used as a mucosal immunogen for protection against the different diseases caused by PC-bearing bacteria.

Abstract
The induction of mucosal immune responses by a liposome-formulated Y. pestis vaccine (formaldehyde-killed whole cell vaccine; KWC) was evaluated. We demonstrated that intranasal immunization of mice with Y. pestis KWC vaccine, formulated with liposomes, significantly enhanced mucosal immune responses in the lung when compared to the responses induced with KWC vaccine alone. These immune responses were characterized by increased titres of specific IgA and IgG in mucosal secretions (lung and nasal washes), and an increased frequency of specific antibody-secreting cells in the lungs. In addition, antigen-specific proliferative responses and IFN-gamma-secreting cells were also significantly enhanced in the spleens of mice immunized with the KWC vaccine formulated in liposomes. Animals that were immunized intranasally with the KWC vaccine showed significant protection against an intranasal challenge with Y. pestis. These results highlight the importance of mucosal administration of vaccine antigens to stimulate immunity in the respiratory tract and demonstrate that liposome formulations can improve the effectiveness of conventional vaccines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the ability of bombesin (BBS) to recover gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) and preserve immunity in a lethal model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Ps) pneumonia in mice receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA TPN causes depression of mucosal immunity compared with enterally fed animals, which may explain the increased incidence of pneumonia in parenterally fed trauma patients. BBS prevents this TPN-induced GALT atrophy, depressed gastrointestinal and respiratory tract IgA levels, and impaired antiviral IgA-mediated mucosal immunity. The authors examined whether some supplement could be added to TPN to avoid this GALT atrophy and lower the incidence of infectious complications in the parenterally fed animal. METHODS Male mice were randomized to chow or intravenous (IV) TPN. After 5 days of IV TPN, mice received 0, 1, 2, or 3 days of BBS IV three times a day and then were killed to harvest Peyer's patch, intraepithelium, and lamina propria for cell yields. Gastrointestinal and respiratory tract IgA levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Next, mice underwent intranasal inoculation with liposomes alone (nonimmune) or liposome-containing Ps polysaccharide. Ps immune mice were catheterized and randomized to chow, IV TPN, or IV TPN + BBS. The liposome group received chow but no IV catheter. These mice were given an LD90 dose of intratracheal Ps, and death rates were recorded. RESULTS GALT and gastrointestinal and respiratory tract IgA levels improved to those in chow-fed mice after 3 days of BBS. Immunization reduced the death rate from 92% in chow-fed liposome-only animals to 20% in immunized animals. TPN-fed animals lost their mucosal immunity, with a death rate of 86% compared with 21% in the TPN + BBS group. CONCLUSION The results demonstrate that BBS reverses TPN-induced changes in GALT and preserves mucosal immunity. Ps immunization reduces the death rate in a gram-negative pneumonia model and maintains gastrointestinal and respiratory immunity in Ps immune mice receiving IV TPN.

Abstract
In order to study the mucosal and serum antibody response to polysaccharide-encapsulated bacteria in mice, a preparation of heat-inactivated Streptococcus pneumoniae type 4 was administered, with and without cholera toxin, at various mucosal sites. It appeared that intranasal immunization of nonanesthesized animals was superior to either oral, gastric, or colonic-rectal antigen delivery with regard to the induction of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgA, as well as saliva IgA antibodies specific for pneumococci. The marked IgA antibody response in feces after intranasal, but not after oral or gastric, immunization is suggestive of a cellular link between the nasal induction site and the distant mucosal effector sites. Intranasal immunization also induced antibodies in serum and in mucosal secretions against type-specific capsular polysaccharide. IgA and IgG antibody levels in pulmonary lavage fluids correlated well with saliva IgA and serum IgG antibodies, respectively. Antibody determinations in pulmonary secretions may therefore be redundant in some cases, and the number of experimental animals may be reduced accordingly. After intraperitoneal challenge with type 4 pneumococci, mice immunized intranasally were protected against both systemic infection and death, even without the use of cholera toxin as a mucosal adjuvant. Thus, an efficient intranasal vaccine against invasive pneumococcal disease may be based on a very simple formulation with whole killed pneumococci.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Addition of 2% glutamine (GLN), a specific lymphocyte fuel, prevents deleterious effects of TPN on gut-associated lymphoid tissue and IgA while preserving IgA-mediated upper respiratory immunity to influenza virus. We examined whether a 2% GLN-enhanced TPN solution preserves respiratory immunity to a lethal and clinically relevant pneumonia challenge. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male ICR mice were randomized to chow (n = 20), TPN (n = 20), or an isonitrogenous, isocaloric TPN-2% GLN solution (n = 17). All groups were immunized 10 days before surgery with Pseudomonas polysaccharide-containing liposomes (LIP) to confer immunity except for a nonimmune chow-fed LIP control group (n = 21) which received LIP without Pseudomonas. Mice received 5 days of diet and then were given an LD90 dose of 1.2 x 10(8) intratracheal Pseudomonas bacteria, and mortality was recorded. RESULTS Immunization reduced mortality compared with LIP alone. TPN impaired immunity and reduced survival while GLN maintained immunization effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS Pseudomonas immunization reduces mortality to Pseudomonas pneumonia, but this immunity is lost with TPN. Addition of 2% GLN to TPN preserves immunity in the respiratory tract and reduces mortality to a lethal bacterial challenge compared with standard TPN.

Abstract
Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from group B meningococci induced both serum and mucosal antibodies when given as a nasal and rectal vaccine to mice. Cholera toxin (CT) enhanced the antibody responses in serum both after nasal and rectal immunizations, and the mucosal responses after rectal immunizations only. Nasal immunizations, however, were most effective, with mucosal responses which were not dependent on the use of CT. The serum bactericidal activity was similarly not enhanced by CT, indicating that the positive effect of CT on the serum IgG level was not including bactericidal activity. A small nasal booster dose induced antibody responses in serum as far as eight months after intranasal and subcutaneous immunizations, and in saliva after intranasal immunizations. Nasal vaccines may thus be favorably combined with parenteral vaccines.

Abstract
CD8+ cell-secreted CC-chemokines, MIP-1alpha, and MIP-beta have recently been identified as factors which suppress HIV. In this study we co-inoculated MIP-1alpha expression plasmid with a DNA vaccine constructed from HIV-1 pCMV160IIIB and pcREV, and evaluated the effect of the adjuvant on HIV-specific immune responses following intramuscular and intranasal immunization. The levels of both cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity and DTH showed that HIV-specific cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was significantly enhanced by co-inoculation of the MIP-1alpha expression plasmid with the DNA vaccine compared with inoculation of the DNA vaccine alone. The HIV-specific serum IgG1/IgG2a ratio was significantly lowered when the plasmid was co-inoculated in both intramuscular and intranasal routes, suggesting a strong elicitation of the T helper (Th) 1-type response. When the MIP-1alpha expression plasmid was inoculated intramuscularly with the DNA vaccine, an infiltration of mononuclear cells was observed at the injection site. After intranasal administration, the level of mucosal secretory IgA antibody was markedly enhanced. These findings demonstrate that MIP-1alpha expression plasmid inoculated together with DNA vaccine acts as a strong adjuvant for eliciting Th1-derived immunity.

Abstract
Recent attention to mucosal immunization strategies has been focused on the nasal route for vaccine delivery. This study was designed to determine the effectiveness of a liposome-protein vaccine compared to that of a protein-only vaccine in inducing immune responses in humans. Healthy subjects were randomly assigned to two groups and immunized intranasally with a crude antigen preparation rich in glucosyltransferase (C-GTF) from Streptococcus mutans, alone or in liposomes. Parotid saliva, nasal wash, and serum were collected prior to and at weekly intervals following immunization and were analyzed for anti-C-GTF activity by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA) anti-C-GTF activity in the nasal wash from both groups after immunization increased to a mean peak of fivefold over the baseline level on day 28. Salivary IgA anti-C-GTF responses were induced to a lesser extent. IgG and IgA anti-C-GTF responses in serum were detected on day 14. The IgA responses were predominantly of the IgA1 subclass. These results show that C-GTF vaccines were more effective in inducing a local secretory IgA antibody response than a salivary or serum response when they were given intranasally. The IgA1 anti-C-GTF response in nasal wash samples for liposomal antigen versus antigen only was the only response which was significantly different (P < 0.04). This suggests that the form of the antigen affects the magnitude of the local mucosal response but not that of a disseminated response. These results provide evidence for the effective use of a nasal protein vaccine in humans for the induction of mucosal and systemic responses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a model of established respiratory immunity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia and to investigate the effects of route and type of nutrition on this immunity. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Diet influences the ability of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) to maintain mucosal immunity. Complex enteral diets and chow maintain normal GALT populations against established IgA-mediated antiviral respiratory immunity. Both intravenous and intragastric total parenteral nutrition (TPN) produce GALT atrophy, but only intragastric TPN preserves established antiviral immunity. The authors hypothesized that both GALT-depleting diets (intragastric and intravenous TPN) would impair immunity against bacterial pneumonia. METHODS P. aeruginosa was administered intratracheally to determine the mortality rate at increasing doses, and liposomes containing P. aeruginosa antigens were used to generate effective respiratory immunization. In the final experiment, mice received liposomes containing P. aeruginosa antigens to establish immunity and then were randomized to chow, complex enteral diets, intragastric TPN, or intravenous TPN. After 5 days of diet, mice received live intratracheal P. aeruginosa, and the death rate was recorded at 24 and 48 hours. RESULTS The LD50 and LD100 were 9 x 10(7) and 12 x 10(7), respectively. Immunization reduced the mortality rate from 66% to 12%. This immunization was maintained in mice fed chow or a complex enteral diet and was lost in animals receiving intravenous TPN. Intragastric TPN partially preserved this respiratory immunity. CONCLUSIONS Protection against bacterial pneumonia can be induced by prior antigenic immunization. This protection is lost with intravenous TPN, partially preserved with a chemically defined enteral diet, and completely preserved with chow or complex enteral diets. Both route and type of nutrition influence antibacterial respiratory tract immunity.

Abstract
Control of pandemic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection ideally requires specific mucosal immunity to protect the genital regions through which transmission more often occurs. Thus a vaccine that stimulates a disseminated mucosal and systemic protective immune response would be extremely useful. Here we have investigated the ability of a chimeric plant virus, cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), expressing a 22 amino acid peptide (residues 731-752) of the transmembrane gp41 protein of HIV-1 IIIB (CPMV-HIV/1), to stimulate HIV-1-specific and CPMV-specific mucosal and serum antibody following intranasal or oral immunization together with the widely used mucosal adjuvant, cholera toxin. CPMV-HIV/1 has been shown previously to stimulate HIV-1-specific serum antibody in mice by parenteral immunization. All mice immunized intranasally with two doses of 10 microg of CPMV-HIV/1 produced both HIV-1-specific IgA in faeces as well as higher levels of specific, predominantly IgG2a, serum antibody. Thus there was a predominantly T helper 1 cell response. All mice also responded strongly to CPMV epitopes. Oral immunization of the chimeric cowpea mosaic virus was less effective, even at doses of 500 microg or greater, and stimulated HIV-1-specific serum antibody in only a minority of mice, and no faecal HIV-1 specific IgA.

Abstract
The nasal mucosa, an important arm of the mucosal immune system, is the first site of contact with inhaled antigens to induce an IgA response. A major aim of this study was to characterize the Th1 and Th2 cytokine expression of mucosal T cells residing in nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) and nasal passages (NP) as IgA inductive and effector sites, respectively, at the transcription and cellular levels. An application of single-cell reverse transcription-PCR for analysis of Th1 (IFN-gamma) and Th2 (IL-4 and IL-6) cytokine-specific mRNA revealed the presence of CD4+ T cells with a Th0 profile in NALT, while high numbers of Th2 cytokine-specific mRNA expressed by CD4+ T cells were noted in NP followed by Th1-type cells. NALT CD3+ CD4+ T cells of Th0 type have the capacity to become Th1- and/or Th2-type cells since their activation via the TCR-CD3 complex resulted in the expression of an array of Th1 and Th2 cytokines. CD3+ CD4+ T cells from NP, but not NALT, provide a helper function for the induction of antibody-forming cells including IgA isotype in B cell cultures. These findings suggest that NALT is characterized by a Th0 environment which can gain a Th1 and/or Th2 phenotype. In contrast, NP is considered to be a Th2 dominant site with some Th1 cells that can support the induction of IgA-producing cells.

Abstract
Abstract
Because mucosal surfaces are a primary route of HIV-1 infection, we evaluated the mucosal immunogenicity of a candidate HIV-1 vaccine, oligomeric gp160 (o-gp160). In prior studies, parenteral immunization of rabbits with o-gp160 elicited broad neutralizing serum Ab responses against both T cell line-adapted HIV-1 and some primary HIV-1 isolates. In this study, nasal immunization of mice with o-gp160, formulated with liposomes containing monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), MPL-AF, proteosomes, emulsomes, or proteosomes with emulsomes elicited strong gp160-specific IgG and IgA responses in serum as well as vaginal, lung, and intestinal washes and fecal pellets. The genital, respiratory, and intestinal Abs were determined to be locally produced. No mucosal immune responses were measurable when the immunogen was given s.c. Abs from sera and from vaginal and lung washes preferentially recognized native forms of monomeric gp120, suggesting no substantial loss in protein tertiary conformation after vaccine formulation and mucosal administration. Inhibition of HIV-1MN infection of H9 cells was found in sera from mice immunized intranasally with o-gp160 formulated with liposomes plus MPL, proteosomes, and proteosomes plus emulsomes. Formulations of o-gp160 with MPL-AF, proteosomes, emulsomes, or proteosomes plus emulsomes elicited HIV-1MN-neutralizing Ab in lung wash, and formulations with proteosomes, emulsomes, or proteosomes plus emulsomes elicited HIV-1MN-neutralizing Ab in vaginal wash. These data demonstrate the feasibility of inducing both systemic and mucosal HIV-1-neutralizing Ab by intranasal immunization with an oligomeric gp160 protein.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to encapsulate a model protein antigen, tetanus toxoid (TT), within hydrophobic (PLA) and surface hydrophilic (PLA-PEG) nanoparticles and to evaluate the potential of these colloidal carriers for the transport of proteins through the nasal mucosa. METHODS TT-loaded nanoparticles, prepared by a modified water-in-oil-in-water solvent evaporation technique, were characterized in their size, zeta potential and hydrophobicity. Nanoparticles were also assayed in vitro for their ability to deliver active antigen for extended periods of time. Finally, 125I-TT-loaded nanoparticles were administered intranasally to rats and the amount of radioactivity recovered in the blood compartment, lymph nodes and other relevant tissues was monitored for up to 48 h. RESULTS PLA and PLA-PEG nanoparticles had a similar particle size (137-156 nm) and negative surface charge, but differed in their surface hydrophobicity: PLA were more hydrophobic than PLA-PEG nanoparticles. PLA-PEG nanoparticles, especially those containing gelatine as an stabilizer, provided extended delivery of the active protein. The transport of the radiolabeled protein through the rat nasal mucosa was highly affected by the surface properties of the nanoparticles: PLA-PEG nanoparticles led to a much greater penetration of TT into the blood circulation and the lymph nodes than PLA nanoparticles. Furthermore, after administration of 125I-TT-loaded PLA-PEG nanoparticles, it was found that a high amount of radioactivity persisted in the blood compartment for at least 48 h. CONCLUSIONS A novel nanoparticulate system has been developed with excellent characteristics for the transport of proteins through the nasal mucosa.

Abstract
Abstract
Acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are significant causes of morbidity and mortality following sepsis and hemorrhage. Increased IL-1β production in the lung is important in the development of acute inflammatory lung injury. Although neutrophils are an important component of the inflammatory response that characterizes acute lung injury, there is little information to suggest that they are capable of initiating cytokine-mediated immune responses in the lung. To explore the role of neutrophils in the early stages of acute lung injury, we examined IL-1β production by mouse lung neutrophils after hemorrhage and endotoxemia. There was a significant increase in IL-1β expression among intraparenchymal pulmonary neutrophil/mononuclear cells (IPNMC) 1 h after hemorrhage or endotoxemia. IL-1β was detected only in a neutrophil-rich fraction of the IPNMC, but not in T and B lymphocytes positively selected from the IPNMC. Cyclophosphamide (CTX)-treated neutropenic mice expressed significantly less IL-1β in IPNMC after hemorrhage or endotoxemia compared with CTX-untreated controls. Immunohistochemical analysis of lung sections from mice after hemorrhage or endotoxemia revealed IL-1β expression in infiltrating neutrophils. These data indicate that IL-1β-producing neutrophils traffic to the lungs rapidly in response to hemorrhage or endotoxemia and support the concept that proinflammatory cytokine production by lung neutrophils may contribute to the development of lung injury after blood loss and sepsis.

Abstract
Five healthy female adult volunteers were intranasally immunized twice (7-day interval) with 250 micrograms of a crude glucosyltransferase (GTF) preparation from Streptococcus mutans in liposomes. Parotid saliva, nasal wash, and serum were collected prior to and at weekly intervals for 6 weeks following the first immunization for analysis of anti-GTF activity by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The levels of IgA1 anti-GTF activity increased in the nasal wash from all five individuals after immunization. Increases in salivary IgA1 and IgA2 anti-GTF activities were observed to a lesser extent. Increased serum IgM and IgA (but not IgG) anti-GTF activities were seen in immunized subjects. Nasal immunization with a dehydrated liposome-protein vaccine was effective in inducing an apparent secretory IgA antibody response, which was primarily of the IgA1 subclass. These results provide the first evidence of the effective use of a nasal liposome-protein vaccine in humans.

Abstract
Mucosal application of vaccines with an appropriate adjuvant can induce immune responses at both systemic and mucosal sites, and therefore may prevent not only infectious disease, but also colonization of mucosal surfaces. Intranasal is more effective than intragastric immunization at generating earlier and stronger mucosal immune response. Nasal lymphoid tissue (NALT) and its local draining lymph nodes may retain long-term immune memory. IgA isotype switching, and the differentiation and maturation of IgA antibody-secreting cells (ASC) may occur before these cells migrate out of NALT, whereas IgG ASC responses require passage of the cells through draining lymph nodes of the NALT. Knowledge of whether immune memory cells can recirculate to and reside in the inductive sites other than their origin after encountering antigen will be helpful for understanding the compartmentalization of the common mucosal immune system as well as for determining the best route for delivering a mucosal vaccine against a particular pathogen.

Abstract
Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), a primary cause of food poisoning, is also a superantigen that can cause toxic shock after traumatic or surgical staphylococcal wound [correction of would] infections or viral influenza-associated staphylococcal superinfections or when aerosolized for use as a potential biologic warfare threat agent. Intranasal or intramuscular (i.m.) immunization with formalinized SEB toxoid formulated with meningococcal outer membrane protein proteosomes has previously been shown to be immunogenic and protective against lethal respiratory or parenteral SEB challenge in murine models of SEB intoxication. Here, it is demonstrated that immunization of nonhuman primates with the proteosome-SEB toxoid vaccine is safe, immunogenic, and protective against lethal aerosol challenge with 15 50% lethal doses of SEB. Monkeys (10 per group) were primed i.m. and given booster injections by either the i.m. or intratracheal route without adverse side effects. Anamnestic anti-SEB serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses were elicited in all monkeys, but strong IgA responses in sera and bronchial secretions were elicited both pre- and post-SEB challenge only in monkeys given booster injections intratracheally. The proteosome-SEB toxoid vaccine was efficacious by both routes in protecting 100% of monkeys against severe symptomatology and death from aerosolized-SEB intoxication. These data confirm the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy in monkeys of parenteral and respiratory vaccination with the proteosome-SEB toxoid, thereby supporting clinical trials of this vaccine in humans. The safety and enhancement of both bronchial and systemic IgA and IgG responses by the proteosome vaccine delivered by a respiratory route are also encouraging for the development of mucosally delivered proteosome vaccines to protect against SEB and other toxic or infectious respiratory pathogens.

Abstract
Intranasal or intramuscular (i.m.) immunization of mice and i.m. immunization of rabbits with formalinized staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) toxoid in saline elicited higher anti-SEB serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) titers when the toxoid was formulated with proteosomes. In addition, intranasal immunization of mice with this proteosome-toxoid vaccine elicited high levels of anti-SEB IgA in lung and intestinal secretions, whereas the toxoid without proteosomes did not. Two i.m. immunizations with proteosome-toxoid plus alum also induced higher murine serum responses than alum-adjuvanted toxoid without proteosomes. Furthermore, proteosome-toxoid delivered intranasally in saline or i.m. with either saline or alum afforded significant protection against lethal SEB challenge in two D-galactosamine-sensitized murine models of SEB intoxication, i.e., the previously described i.m. challenge model and a new respiratory challenge model of mucosal SEB exposure. Efficacy correlated with the induction of high serum levels of anti-SEB IgG. In contrast, intranasal or i.m. immunization with toxoid in saline without proteosomes was not significantly protective in either challenge model. Proteosome-toxoid plus alum given i.m. also elicited more significant protection against respiratory challenge than the alum-adjuvanted toxoid alone. The capacity of proteosomes to enhance both i.m. and intranasal immunogenicity and efficacy of SEB toxoid indicates that testing such proteosome-SEB toxoid vaccines in the nonhuman primate aerosol challenge model of SEB intoxication prior to immunogenicity trials in humans is warranted. These data expand the applicability of the proteosome mucosal vaccine delivery system to protein toxoids and suggest that respiratory delivery of proteosome vaccines may be practical for enhancement of both mucosal and systemic immunity against toxic or infectious diseases.

Abstract
Liposome and cholera toxin (CT) are considered to be effective antigen delivery vehicles and adjuvants for mucosal vaccines. The effect of these antigen delivery systems on adjuvant responses to mucosally administered pneumococcal polysaccharide (Pnup) was investigated in this study. Both mucosal (e.g. oral) and systemic (i.p.) immunization of mice with purified preparations of Pnup type 23F induced antigen-specific IgM responses in sera. Interestingly, oral immunization of as little as 10 micrograms of Pnup type 23F was sufficient to induce systemic IgM responses. Pnup-specific IgM antibodies peaked by day 7 and no booster responses were evident after a second dose on day 14. In order to examine whether IgG and IgA Pnup-specific immune responses are induced by mucosal immunization, the mucosal adjuvant CT was mixed with Pnup type 23 as an oral vaccine. Co-oral administration of CT and Pnup type 23F resulted in the induction of Pnup-specific faecal IgA antibodies. These results were confirmed by detecting antigen-specific IgA-spot-forming cells in mononuclear cell suspensions prepared from the intestine of immunized mice. These findings suggest that oral immunization with Pnup in the presence of mucosal adjuvants, such as CT, could induce Pnup-specific IgA responses whereas Pnup alone did not. In an attempt to further enhance antigen-specific antibody responses, Pnup type 23F was encapsulated in liposomes and used as mucosal vaccine. However, immunogenicity of Pnup was not improved.

Abstract
Only relatively recently the significance of inducing not only systemic immunity but also significant local immunity at susceptible mucosal surfaces has become appreciated. A new field of mucosal immunity has been established as information accumulates on mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) and on its role in both local and systemic immune responses. This review describes the formation of vaccines to be delivered to one of MALT components, i.e. the nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT), which bears some similarities with the Peyer's patches of the intestine. The association of antigens with adjuvants and particulate carriers such as microparticles, nanoparticles and liposomes is emphasised.

Abstract
This paper reports on the immune-stimulatory activity of liposomes in an inactivated whole measles virus vaccine preparation administered intranasally to mice. Liposomes, simply mixed with inactivated whole measles virus, significantly stimulated the serum IgG response relative to the response to the virus alone. In addition, the liposomal vaccine, but not the free virus, induced a secretory IgA (s-IgA) response in the lungs and nasal cavity. Serum IgG and s-IgA responses persisted up to at least 24 weeks post-immunization. The liposomes induced a moderate increase in the serum IgG response, but no s-IgA response, following intramuscular immunization. It is concluded that liposomes provide a promising adjuvant system for induction of high systemic as well as mucosal antibody responses against inactivated measles virus in an intranasal or inhalation vaccine formulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in producing acute inflammatory lung injury after hemorrhage and resuscitation. DESIGN Prospective, controlled animal study. SETTING Research laboratory. SUBJECTS Male BALB/c mice. INTERVENTIONS Treatment with rat antimouse monoclonal anti-TNF-alpha antibodies or control rat immunoglobulin G 1 hr after 30% blood volume hemorrhage and resuscitation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Therapy with monoclonal anti-TNF-alpha antibodies prevented the posthemorrhage increases in pulmonary TNF-alpha and interferon-gamma protein levels that normally occur after blood loss. Administration of monoclonal anti-TNF-alpha antibodies also diminished the increases in interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10 mRNA, but not the increases in TNF-alpha and interferon-gamma mRNA, which are found in the lungs following hemorrhage. In addition, therapy with monoclonal anti-TNF-alpha antibodies was associated with significant improvement in the histologic parameters of posthemorrhage lung injury, particularly intra-alveolar hemorrhage and pulmonary vascular congestion. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that TNF-alpha has an important role in the development of acute inflammatory lung injury after blood loss. Blockade of TNF-alpha with monoclonal antibodies significantly reduces hemorrhage-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Optimization of the immunogenicity of many new-generation vaccine formulations, including combination vaccines, will require the use of immunologic adjuvants other than the aluminum compounds in today's licensed vaccines. The selection of adjuvants for use in vaccine formulation may be as critical as the choice of the vaccine antigens themselves in providing optimal efficacy for the target populations, vaccine compliance, and cost. Adjuvants have diverse mechanisms of action and must be selected for use based on the immune responses desired for a particular candidate vaccine. Recent advances in the number and variety of adjuvants available for clinical evaluation coupled with the increased understanding of their mechanisms of action encourage the inclusion of adjuvants as part of rational vaccine design. Finally, the proposed standardized methods to evaluate adjuvant safety should be implemented for human candidate vaccines formulated with novel adjuvants.

Abstract
Purified Bordetella pertussis antigens, encapsulated in biodegradable poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (DL-PLG) microspheres, were evaluated for their immunogenicity and ability to elicit a protective immune response against B. pertussis respiratory infection. Microencapsulated pertussis toxoid, filamentous hemagglutinin, and pertactin all retained their immunogenicity when administered parenterally. Intranasal immunization with a low dose (1 micrograms) of encapsulated filamentous hemagglutinin, pertussis toxoid, or pertactin elicited strong specific immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin A antibody responses in respiratory secretions that were greater in magnitude than the responses elicited by the same doses of unencapsulated antigen. Intranasal immunization with as little as 1 micrograms of encapsulated pertussis antigen prior to infection reduced the bacterial recovery by 3 log10 CFU. However, intranasal immunization with the same low doses of unencapsulated antigens did not reduce infection. Intranasal administration of a combination of 1 micrograms of each of the microencapsulated pertussis antigens was more effective in reducing bacterial infection than administration of any single microencapsulated antigen. Intranasal administration of microencapsulated B. pertussis antigens elicits high levels of specific antibody coinciding with protection against infection when these microspheres are administered to the respiratory tract. These data provide evidence of the respiratory adjuvanticity of three different DL-PLC microsphere preparations, each of which contains a unique B. pertussis antigen.
