  • Title: Trichinella spiralis: immune response and protective immunity elicited by recombinant paramyosin formulated with different adjuvants.
    Author: Yang J, Gu Y, Yang Y, Wei J, Wang S, Cui S, Pan J, Li Q, Zhu X.
    Journal: Exp Parasitol; 2010 Apr; 124(4):403-8. PubMed ID: 20045697.
    Abstract:
    Our previous studies showed that immunization with recombinant paramyosin from Trichinella spiralis (rTs-Pmy) formulated with Freund's adjuvant significantly reduced larval burden in mice after T. spiralis larval challenge. Since Freund's adjuvant is toxic and not a suitable adjuvant for clinical vaccine trials, we evaluated the ability of the adjuvants Montanide ISA206 and ISA720 to stimulate immune responses during rTs-Pmy immunization and to enhance protective immunity. The results revealed that immunization of BALB/c mice with rTs-Pmy formulated with either ISA206 or ISA720 triggered Th1 and Th2 immune responses similar to those produced by the conventional Freund's adjuvant formulation and also provided a similar level of protection against T. spiralis larval challenge. This indicates that the recombinant Ts-Pmy formulated with Montanide ISA206 or ISA720 may be an effective and safety vaccine strategy for trichinellosis.
