Abstract
Oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are exclusively mucosal pathogens that are noncytopathic and the basal epithelial cells harboring and maintaining an infection do not produce either capsid antigen or virus. The efficacy of the licensed L1 virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines has encouraged development of several second generation vaccines aimed at expanding the coverage to all oncogenic HPV types and reducing barriers to global implementation. Currently there is no defined immune correlate of protection that can be used to determine if an individual patient is protected and for the evaluation of these second generation vaccines. Surprisingly, passive transfer of neutralizing serum antibody is protective in animal models. Recent studies suggest how neutralizing antibody mediates immunity against mucosal HPV and the possible impact of memory B cells.

Progress towards a needle-free hepatitis B vaccine. Pharm Res 2010; 28:986-1012.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a worldwide public health problem. Vaccination is the most efficient way to prevent hepatitis B. Despite the success of the currently available vaccine, there is a clear need for the development of new generation of HBV vaccines. Needle-free immunization is an attractive approach for mass immunization campaigns, since avoiding the use of needles reduces the risk of needle-borne diseases and prevents needle-stick injuries and pain, thus augmenting patient compliance and eliminating the need for trained medical personnel. Moreover, this kind of immunization was shown to induce good systemic as well as mucosal immunological responses, which is important for the creation of both a prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine. In order to produce a better, safer, more efficient and more suitable vaccine, adjuvants have been used. In this article, several adjuvants tested over the years for their potential to help create a needle-free vaccine against HBV are reviewed.

Abstract
Mucosal immunity elicited by plant-based and other orally administered vaccines can serve as the first line of defense against most pathogens infecting through mucosal surfaces, but it is also considered for systemic immunity against blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis B (HB). Previous oral immunization trials based on multiple administration of high doses of HBs antigen elicited an immune response; however, a reproducible and long-lasting immunization protocol was difficult to design. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dose and timing of orally delivered alum-adsorbed antigen on the magnitude of the anti-HBs humoral response. Mice were immunized orally by gavage intubation or parenterally by intramuscular injection three times, once every 2 weeks, with doses of 5, 50, or 500 ng alum-adjuvanted HBsAg. A low dose (10 ng) of HBsAg was orally administered three times in different time intervals: 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. The three consecutive 5-ng oral doses of the antigen induced immune response at the protective level (>or=10 mIU/ml), significantly higher than the reaction elicited by three 50 or 500 ng doses. In contrast, intramuscular delivery of these doses did not differ significantly; however, they induced a five to six times higher immune response than oral immunization. The 8-week period between each of the three oral immunizations appeared to be favorable to the anti-HBs humoral responses compared with the shorter schedules. The results presented here clearly identify the importance of low doses of antigen administered orally in extended intervals for a significantly higher anti-HBs response. This finding provides some indications concerning the strategy of orally administered vaccines, including plant-based ones.

Abstract
Cervical cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women, is the consequence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. Toward the development of therapeutic vaccines that can induce both innate and adaptive mucosal immune responses, we analyzed intravaginal (ivag) vaccine delivery of live attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium expressing HPV16L1 as a model antigen. Innate immune responses were examined in cervicovaginal tissues by determining gene expression patterns by microarray analysis using nylon membranes imprinted with cDNA fragments coding for inflammation-associated genes. At 24 h, a wide range of genes, including those for chemokines and Th1- and Th2-type cytokine and chemokine receptors were up-regulated in mice ivag immunized with Salmonella compared to control mice. However, the majority of transcripts returned to their steady-state levels 1 week after immunization, suggesting a transient inflammatory response. Indeed, cervicovaginal histology of immunized mice showed a massive, but transient, infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils, while T cells were still increased after 7 days. Ivag immunization also induced humoral and antitumor immune responses, i.e., serum and vaginal anti-HPV16VLP antibody titers similar to those induced by oral immunization, and significant protection in tumor protection experiments using HPV16-expressing C3 tumor cells. These results show that ivag immunization with live attenuated Salmonella expressing HPV16 antigens modulates the local mucosal gene expression pattern into a transient proinflammatory profile, elicits strong systemic and mucosal immunity against HPV16, and confers protection against HPV16 tumor cells subcutaneously implanted in mice. Examination of the efficacy with which ivag HPV16E7E6 Salmonella induces regression of tumors located in cervicovaginal tissue is warranted.

Immune response by nasal delivery of hepatitis B surface antigen and codelivery of a CpG ODN in alginate coated chitosan nanoparticles. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2008; 69:405-16.

Abstract
Alginate coated chitosan nanoparticles were previously developed with the aim of protecting the antigen, adsorbed on the surface of those chitosan nanoparticles, from enzymatic degradation at mucosal surfaces. In this work, this new delivery system was loaded with the recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and applied to mice by the intranasal route. Adjuvant effect of the delivery system was studied by measuring anti-HBsAg IgG in serum, anti-HBsAg sIgA in faeces extracts or nasal and vaginal secretions and interferon-gamma production in supernatants of the spleen cells. The mice were primed with 10 microg of the vaccine associated or not with nanoparticles and associated or not with 10 microg CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) followed by two sequential boosts at three week intervals. The association of HBsAg with the alginate coated chitosan nanoparticles, administered intranasally to the mice, gave rise to the humoral mucosal immune response. Humoral systemic immune response was not induced by the HBsAg loaded nanoparticles alone. The generation of Th1-biased antigen-specific systemic antibodies, however, was observed when HBsAg loaded nanoparticles were applied together with a second adjuvant, the immunopotentiator, CpG ODN. Moreover, all intranasally vaccinated groups showed higher interferon-gamma production when compared to naïve mice.

Abstract
Attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi strains have been considered to be attractive as potential live oral delivery vector vaccines because of their ability to elicit the full array of immune responses in humans. In this study, we constructed an attenuated S. enterica serovar Typhi strain stably expressing conserved nucleocapsid (N) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) by integrating the N gene into the pilV gene, which was under the control of the type IVB pilus operon promoter in S. enterica serovar Typhi. BALB/c mice were immunized with this recombinant strain through different routes: intranasally, orogastrically, intraperitoneally, and intravenously. Results showed that the intranasal route caused the highest production of specific immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgG2a, and secretory IgA, where IgG2a was imprinted as a Th1 cell bias. Moreover, this recombinant live vaccine induced significantly high levels of specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte activities and increased gamma interferon-producing T cells compared with the parental strain. Our work provides insights into how the type IVB pilus operon promoter controlling SARS-CoV N gene expression in Salmonella might be attractive for a live-vector vaccine against SRAS-CoV infection, for it could induce mucosal, humoral, and cellular immune responses. Our work also indicates that the type IVB pilus operon promoter controlling foreign gene expression in Salmonella can elicit full immune responses by intranasal vaccination.

Abstract
The E6 and E7 oncoproteins of the high-risk HPV type16 represent ideal targets for HPV vaccine development, they being consistently expressed in cervical cancer lesions. Since HPV-16 is primarily transmitted through genital mucosal route, mucosal immune responses constitute an essential feature for vaccination strategies against HPV-associated lesions. We present here evidence showing that mucosal immunization of mice by the intranasal route with a mixture of peptides E7(44-62) and E6(43-57) from the E7 and E6 oncoproteins of HPV-16, respectively, using a mutant cholera toxin adjuvant (CT-2*), primed strong antigen-specific cellular immune responses in systemic and mucosal tissues. Significant levels of IFN-gamma production by both CD4 and CD8 cells were observed along with CTL responses that were effective against both peptide-pulsed targets as well as syngeneic tumor cells (TC-1) expressing the cognate E6 and E7 proteins. Furthermore, mice immunized with the peptide mixture and CT-2* effectively resisted TC-1 tumor challenge. These results together with our earlier observations that T cell responses to these peptides correlate with recurrence-free survival in women after ablative treatment for HPV-associated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, support the potential of these E6 and E7 peptides for inclusion in vaccine formulations.

Abstract
Our previous studies have shown that mice which have been orally primed with an attenuated Salmonella vector [S. enterica serovar Stanley] are hypo-responsive to foreign antigens later delivered orally by the same vector strain, responding with significantly impaired serum and intestinal antibody responses compared with those seen in unprimed controls. Initial vector priming of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) is likely to result in impaired persistence of recombinant Salmonella later administered orally. Delivery of recombinant bacteria by the intra-peritoneal or intra-nasal route, to avoid exposure to a primed GALT, did not allow vector-primed recipients to mount normal antibody responses to the foreign pilus protein K88. The negative impact of vector priming could be largely overcome, however, if mice were exposed to the foreign protein just prior to priming with the vector strain. Using this strategy, vector-primed mice displayed normal gut IgA and intermediate serum IgG responses to K88 following oral administration of recombinant Salmonella. Our findings are compatible with the concept of epitopic suppression, in which failure to respond to the foreign vaccine antigen reflects the clonal dominance of B cells specific for epitopes associated with the vector strain.

Abstract
Cervical cancer results from cervical infection by human papillomaviruses (HPVs), especially HPV16. An effective vaccine against these HPVs is expected to have a dramatic impact on the incidence of this cancer and its precursor lesions. The leading candidate, a subunit prophylactic HPV virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine, can protect women from HPV infection. An alternative improved vaccine that avoids parenteral injection, that is efficient with a single dose, and that induces mucosal immunity might greatly facilitate vaccine implementation in different settings. In this study, we have constructed a new generation of recombinant Salmonella organisms that assemble HPV16 VLPs and induce high titers of neutralizing antibodies in mice after a single nasal or oral immunization with live bacteria. This was achieved through the expression of a HPV16 L1 capsid gene whose codon usage was optimized to fit with the most frequently used codons in Salmonella. Interestingly, the high immunogenicity of the new recombinant bacteria did not correlate with an increased expression of L1 VLPs but with a greater stability of the L1-expressing plasmid in vitro and in vivo in absence of antibiotic selection. Anti-HPV16 humoral and neutralizing responses were also observed with different Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains whose attenuating deletions have already been shown to be safe after oral vaccination of humans. Thus, our findings are a promising improvement toward a vaccine strain that could be tested in human volunteers.

Abstract
AIM: To construct a non-resistant and attenuated Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) strain which expresses conservative region of adhesion AB of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) and evaluate its immunogenicity.
METHODS: The AB gene amplified by PCR was inserted into the expression vector pYA248 containing asd gene and through two transformations introduced into the delta Cya, delta Crp, delta Asd attenuated Salmonella typhimurium strain, constructing balanced lethal attenuated Salmonella typhimurium strains X4072 (pYA248-AB). Bridged ELISA method was used to measure the expression of AB antigen in sonicate and culture supernatant. According to the method described by Meacock, stability of the recombinant was evaluated. Semi-lethal capacity test was used to evaluate the safety of recombinant. The immunogenicity of recombinant was evaluated with animal experiments.
RESULTS: The attenuated S. typhimurium X4072 (pYA248-AB) which expresses AB was successfully constructed. Furthermore, bridged ELISA assay showed that the content of AB in recombinant X4072 (pYA248- AB) culture supernatant was higher than that was in thallus lytic liquor. And after recombinant X4072 (pYA248- AB) was cultured for 100 generations without selection pressure, the entire recombinant bacteria selected randomly could grow, and the AB antigen was defected positive by ELISA. The growth curve of the recombinant bacteria showed that the growth states of X4072 (pYA248) and X4072 (pYA248-AB) were basically consistent. The survival rate of C57BL/6 was still 100%, at 30 d after mice taking X4072 (pYA248-AB) 1.0 × 1010 cfu orally. Oral immunization of mice with X4072 (pYA248-AB) induced a specific immune response.
CONCLUSION: In vitro recombinant plasmid appears to be stable and experiments on animals showed that the recombinant strains were safe and immunogenic in vitro, which providing a new live oral vaccine candidate for protection and care of H pylori infection.

Abstract
Protective properties of immunoglobulin A (IgA) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against O and H antigens of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (S. enteritidis) were evaluated in a model of generalized infection after intranasal (i.n.) inoculation of BALB/c mice. Passive i.n. instillation of antibodies 1 h before i.n. challenge did not prevent infection, and mice developed rapid inflammatory response in the lower respiratory tract. The passive systemic immunization was partially protective and a single intravenous (i.v.) injection of both O and H antigen specific IgA antibodies prolonged survival period of the infected animals. Permanent secretion of O:9 specific IgA MAb 177E6 into the respiratory tract in a "backpack" tumor model protected 50% of animals infected i.n. with a high dose of virulent S. enteritidis strain. Thus, secretory IgA (S-IgA) directed against O:9 antigen alone can prevent bacterial invasion in the respiratory epithelium.

Abstract
Attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) strains can serve as safe and effective oral vaccines to prevent typhoid fever and as live vectors to deliver foreign antigens to the immune system, either by the bacteria expressing antigens through prokaryotic expression plasmids or by delivering foreign genes carried on eukaryotic expression systems (DNA vaccines). The practical utility of such live vector vaccines relies on achieving a proper balance between minimizing the vaccine's reactogenicity and maximizing its immunogenicity. To advance to clinical trials, vaccine candidates need to be pre-clinically evaluated in relevant animal models that attempt to predict what their safety and immunogenicity profile will be when administered to humans. Since S. Typhi is a human-restricted pathogen, a major obstacle that has impeded the progress of vaccine development has been the shortcomings of the animal models available to assess vaccine candidates. In this review, we summarize the usefulness of animal models in the assessment of the degree of attenuation and immunogenicity of novel attenuated S. Typhi strains as vaccine candidates for the prevention of typhoid fever and as live vectors in humans.

Abstract
We investigated the ability of live attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi strains delivered to mice intranasally to induce specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses at regional and systemic levels. Mice immunized with two doses (28 days apart) of Salmonella serovar Typhi strain Ty21a, the licensed oral typhoid vaccine, and genetically attenuated mutants CVD 908 (DeltaaroC DeltaaroD), CVD 915 (DeltaguaBA), and CVD 908-htrA (DeltaaroC DeltaaroD DeltahtrA) induced CTL specific for Salmonella serovar Typhi-infected cells in spleens and cervical lymph nodes. CTL were detected in effector T cells that had been expanded in vitro for 7 days in the presence of Salmonella-infected syngeneic splenocytes. A second round of stimulation further enhanced the levels of specific cytotoxicity. CTL activity was observed in sorted alphabeta+ CD8+ T cells, which were remarkably increased after expansion, but not in CD4+ T cells. CTL from both cervical lymph nodes and spleens failed to recognize Salmonella-infected major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mismatched cells, indicating that the responses were MHC restricted. Studies in which MHC blocking antibodies were used showed that H-2L(d) was the restriction element. This is the first demonstration that Salmonella serovar Typhi vaccines delivered intranasally elicit CD8+ MHC class I-restricted CTL. The results further support the usefulness of the murine intranasal model for evaluating the immunogenicity of typhoid vaccine candidates at the preclinical level.
