Presentation Transcript

  1. Gene vaccine

  2. “The concept is very simple , involving insertion of the gene encoding the antigen of choice into an bacterial plasmid ,and injection of the plasmid into the host ,where the antigen is expressed and induces humeral and cellular immunity .”

  3. Control group It was first discovered by Wolff who studies on gene therapy by accident . Surprise: naked DNA, expression of the antigenic gene , immune response induced

  4. “Cloning of SARS Sc gene and its effect on the immune response of mouse elicited by DNA vaccine pcDNA-Sc” Objective: To construct DNA vaccine against C region gene of SARS-CoV S protein, and observe the immune response induced by DNA vaccine injection and mucosal immunization.

  5. The specific antigen expressed in tissues immuno-histochemical analysis. The SARS-CoV antibodies in the sera ELISA Detect spleen and MLN lymphocyte proliferation and CTL response in vitro.

  6. cytokine Y Y Y cytokine Somatic cell Immune complex bound to Fc-receptor on APC

  7. “In animal model systems, DNA immunisation has been shown to induce protective immunity to influenza, herpes, rabies, hepatitis B and lymphocytic choriomeningitis viruses, and to malaria and mycobacteria.”

  8. Enhance the immunogenicity of DNA vaccine

  9. modulation of the gene of choice itself “A very recent approach is the so-called “harmonization” of the DNA sequence coding for the antigen, enabling more efficient translation of non-mammalian DNA sequences by mammalian host cells. The basis for this approach is the preferential use of different codons for the same amino acid by bacteria, protozoan parasites, plants and mammalians.” harmonization

  10. Vaccine vectors

  11. Vaccine vectors Activation of an innate immune response prerequisite Antigen-specific adaptive immune response Two major functions of adjuvants : inflammatory response of the injection site prevent rapid degradation and elimination of the antigen

  12. Adjuvants : Danger ,death – innate immunity Adaptive immunity

  13. Pro-inflammatory signal is also called “danger” signal First report came as an surprise “naked DNA can launch an specific adaptive immune response without adjuvants to stimulate innate immune response”

  14. The discovery of PRRs explains everything PAMP + PRRs cocktail of secreted factors Recruit of leukocytes Milieu of an effective immune response

  15. “Death - - apoptosis” • Molecule changes occurring on the surface of apoptotic cells • can be recognized by immune system. • phagocytized by APCs , processing , then cross-priming • Prerequisite : • Induce apoptosis • Antigen expression must precede cell death ,thereby allowing accumulation of antigen material.

  16. Also unexpected advantages : ”triggering apoptosis in cells transfected with a plasmid eliminates a longering safety concern of many critics of DNA vaccine –the unlikely but theoretically possible Integration of the DNA into host’s genome which result in tumorgenesis. ”

  17. Also can enhance DNA vaccine efficacy . Very strange ,isn’t it ?

  18. Discrepancy : pro-apoptotic molecule act on transfected somatic cells While anti-apoptotic molecules benefit transfected APCs

  19. No universal strategy “the usefulness must be explored for different antigens ,disease models , and vector backbone”

  20. Emergency and cross-protection “The DNA immunization strategy has the potential to rapidly provide a new vaccine in the face of an emerging influenza pandemic.”

  21. Emergency : expression-library immunization (ELI)

  22. Combined vaccine Be achieved more easily than conventional vaccine

  23. “The available information concerning safety is encouraging, with the risk of integration being considered to be orders of magnitude below the spontaneous mutation frequency in humans.”

  24. The perceived risks include: unlikely but theoretically possible integration of the plasmid into the host genome; induction of anti-DNA antibodies autoimmunity

  25. “ DNA vaccines first advanced to the clinic five years ago, and the initial picture of their utility in humans is emerging. However, further analysis is required to determine their ultimate efficacy and safety in human beings.”

  26. The End 吴珍 张慧慧 吴瑕 徐安涛 徐慆 钊超

  27. “the use of homologous genes from other species in an attempt to break tolerance to self-antigens.”

  28. Establish an experimental animal model for example: Establish an experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis Constructed by inserting the gene fragment of human acetylcholine receptor α- subunit N-terminal 211 residues (AChR_ α211 ) into shuttle plasmid pcDNA3.0.

  29. immunoemasculation in livestock agriculture GnRH FS Testosterone
