Abstract
Alhagi honey polysaccharide (AHP) exhibit an excellent immune adjuvant effect, but low bioavailability in the body limits its application. Cationic polymer-modified poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles have been widely investigated as vaccine delivery systems owing to their excellent antigen-loading efficiency. In this study, three kinds of cationic polymer were used to coat AHP-encapsulated PLGA nanoparticles (AHPP) to build positively charged antigen carriers. Among them, H5N1-loaded PEI-AHPP formulation could induce highest hemagglutination inhibition (HI) titer, IgG-subtype, and cytokines, activated dendritic cells (DCs) in lymph nodes, and CD3e+CD4+ and CD3e+CD8a+ T cells in the spleen of immunized mice. PEI-AHPP could stimulate DCs to highly express MHCI and MHCII molecules and had good antigen slow-release effect at the injected site along with lymph node targeting. These findings demonstrate that PEI-AHPP has the potential to be an effective adjuvant to induce strong and long-lasting Th1 and Th2 mixed immune responses.

Abstract
In recent years, the high prevalence of avian influenza viruses especially H5N1 subtype isolated from poultry and human has become a major public health concern. Vaccination is still a major strategy for preventing H5N1 infections. Lentinan (LNT), a β-1,3-glucohexaose with β-1,6-branches, is extracted from Lentinus edodes and has been extensively studied for its immunoenhancement effects. In this study, we synthesized and characterized calcium carbonate (CaCO3) microparticles which modified with LNT as an adjuvant for H5N1 vaccine and investigated their ability to enhance immune responses. We prepared spherical and uniform CaCO3-LNT microparticles with a mean hydrodynamic size was around 2 μm. The H5N1 antigen-loaded CaCO3-LNT particles were injected into mice to evaluate their effectiveness as an adjuvant for H5N1 vaccines. The results demonstrated that CaCO3-LNT/H5N1 significantly enhanced the expression of MHC-II and CD86 in lymph node dendritic cells, and increased the ratio of CD4+ to CD8+ T cells in lymphocytes. Moreover, CaCO3-LNT/H5N1 surprisingly increased the HI titers and induced the secretion of IgG subtypes (IgG1 and IgG2b) and Th-associated cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-4) in immunized mice. Therefore, by combining with the immunostimulatory activity of LNT and the drug/antigen delivery capabilities of CaCO3, the CaCO3-LNT/H5N1 could induce a stronger cellular and humoral immune response and could be a potential adjuvant for the H5N1 vaccine.

Porcine Dendritic Cells as an In Vitro Model to Assess the Immunological Behaviour of Streptococcus suis Subunit Vaccine Formulations and the Polarizing Effect of Adjuvants. Pathogens 2017; 6:pathogens6010013. [PMID: 28327531 PMCID: PMC5371901 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens6010013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2017] [Revised: 03/10/2017] [Accepted: 03/18/2017] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
An in vitro porcine bone marrow-derived dendritic cell (DC) culture was developed as a model for evaluating immune polarization induced by adjuvants when administered with immunogens that may become vaccine candidates if appropriately formulated. The swine pathogen Streptococcus suis was chosen as a prototype to evaluate proposed S. suis vaccine candidates in combination with the adjuvants Poly I:C, Quil A ®, Alhydrogel ®, TiterMax Gold ® and Stimune ®. The toll-like receptor ligand Poly I:C and the saponin Quil A ® polarized swine DC cytokines towards a type 1 phenotype, with preferential production of IL-12 and TNF-α. The water-in-oil adjuvants TiterMax Gold ® and Stimune ® favoured a type 2 profile as suggested by a marked IL-6 release. In contrast, Alhydrogel ® induced a type 1/type 2 mixed cytokine profile. The antigen type differently modified the magnitude of the adjuvant effect, but overall polarization was preserved. This is the first comparative report on swine DC immune activation by different adjuvants. Although further swine immunization studies would be required to better characterize the induced responses, the herein proposed in vitro model is a promising approach that helps assessing behaviour of the vaccine formulation rapidly at the pre-screening stage and will certainly reduce numbers of animals used while advancing vaccinology science.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterologous prime-boost vaccination is a pandemic response strategy utilizing subtype-matched vaccine at pandemic onset followed by strain-matched vaccine once available. Persistence of immune response and safety of influenza A (H5N1) vaccine adjuvanted with adjuvant system containing α-tocopherol and squalene in an oil-in-water emulsion (AS03B) were evaluated. METHODS An open phase 3 active-controlled study (www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT01379937) assessed immunogenicity and reactogenicity of a heterologous booster dose of A/turkey/Turkey/1/2005-H5N1-AS03B in children 3 to <18 years of age, given 6 months after 2-dose priming with A/Indonesia/05/2005-H5N1-AS03B (H5N1(2) -H5N1 group) compared with a single dose of A/turkey/Turkey/1/2005-H5N1-AS03B in unprimed subjects (hepatitis A vaccine (HAV)-H5N1 group). Hemagglutinin inhibition responses and microneutralization antibodies were assessed to 6 months after booster vaccination. RESULTS Hemagglutinin inhibition antibody responses against A/turkey/Turkey/1/2005-H5N1 were superior in the H5N1(2)-H5N1 versus the hepatitis A vaccine-H5N1 group overall and in each age strata (3 to <10 and 10 to <18 years). Anamnestic immune responses were demonstrated against vaccine-homologous/heterologous strains in the H5N1(2)-H5N1 group. Injection site pain and fever increased with consecutive doses for children <6 years (H5N1(2)-H5N1). Immune responses to vaccine-homologous/heterologous strains persisted to 6 months after booster vaccination in the H5N1(2)-H5N1 group. CONCLUSIONS Heterologous H5N1-AS03B-adjuvanted booster vaccination in children/adolescents was immunogenic for vaccine-homologous and heterologous strains following 2-dose priming, with immune persistence for at least 6 months. Prime-boost strategies using H5N1-AS03 could be effectively employed in this age group.

Abstract
Avian H7 is one of several influenza A virus subtypes that have the potential to cause pandemics. Herein we describe preclinical results following administration of an investigational H7N1 inactivated detergent-split virion vaccine adjuvanted with the AS03 Adjuvant System. The adjuvanted H7N1 vaccine was highly immunogenic compared to the non-adjuvanted H7N1 vaccine in unprimed mice with less than 100ng of hemagglutinin antigen per dose. In addition, compared to the non-adjuvanted vaccine, the AS03-adjuvanted H7N1 vaccine also induced robust HI and VN antibody responses that cross-reacted with other H7 subtypes, including recently emerged H7N9 virus. These H7 data from the preclinical mouse model add to the existing H5 data to suggest that AS03 adjuvant technology may be generally effective for formulating antigen-sparing detergent-split virion vaccines against intrinsically sub-immunogenic avian influenza A virus subtypes.

Abstract
Influenza virus infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the human population. Depending on the virulence of the influenza virus strain, as well as the immunological status of the infected individual, the severity of the respiratory disease may range from sub-clinical or mild symptoms to severe pneumonia that can sometimes lead to death. Vaccines remain the primary public health measure in reducing the influenza burden. Though the first influenza vaccine preparation was licensed more than 60 years ago, current research efforts seek to develop novel vaccination strategies with improved immunogenicity, effectiveness, and breadth of protection. Animal models of influenza have been essential in facilitating studies aimed at understanding viral factors that affect pathogenesis and contribute to disease or transmission. Among others, mice, ferrets, pigs, and nonhuman primates have been used to study influenza virus infection in vivo, as well as to do pre-clinical testing of novel vaccine approaches. Here we discuss and compare the unique advantages and limitations of each model.

Abstract
Aiming to enhance the immunogenicity of H5N1 split vaccine, the development of a novel antigen delivery system based on quaternized chitosan hydrogel microparticles (Gel MPs) with multiple mechanisms of immunity enhancement is attempted. Gel MPs based on ionic cross-linking are prepared in a simple and mild way. Gel MPs are superior as a vaccine delivery system due to their ability to: 1) enhance cellular uptake and endosomal escape of antigens in dendritic cells (DCs); 2) significantly activate DCs; 3) form an antigen depot and recruit immunity cells to improve antigen capture. Further in vivo investigation shows that Gel MPs, in comparison to aluminum salts (Alum), LPS, and covalent cross-linking quaternized chitosan MPs (GC MPs), induce higher humoral and cellular immune responses with a mixed Th1/Th2 immunity. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that Gel MPs are efficient antigen delivery vehicles based on multiple mechanisms to enhance both humoral and cellular immune responses against H5N1 split antigen.
