摘要
Whole bacteriophage lambda particles, containing reporter genes under the control of the cytomegalovirus promoter (P-CMV), have been used as delivery vehicles for nucleic acid immunisation. Following intramuscular injection of mice with lambda-gt11 containing the gene for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-HBsAg responses in excess of 150 mIU ml(-1) were detected. When isolated peritoneal macrophages were incubated with whole lambda particles containing the gene for green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the control of P-CMV, GFP antigen was detected on the macrophage surface 8 h later. Results suggested that direct targeting of antigen-presenting cells by bacteriophage 'vaccines' may occur, leading to enhanced immune responses compared to naked DNA delivery. Bacteriophage DNA vaccines offer several advantages: they do not contain antibiotic resistance genes, they offer a large cloning capacity (similar to15 kb), the DNA is protected from environmental degradation, they offer the potential for oral delivery, and large-scale production is cheap, easy and extremely rapid.
