摘要
Levamisole (LMS) as an adjuvant enhances cell-mediated immunity in DNA vaccination; we investigated the efficacy and liver immunopathology alleviation of a DNA vaccine, VR1012-SjGST-32, in a LMS formulation in the murine challenge model. Compared to controls, the VR1012-SjGST-32 plus LMS can reduce worm and egg burdens, as welt as, immunopathological complications associated chronic inflammation significantly in liver, which were apparently associated with Th1-type response. Together, these results suggest that the LMS as a potential Schistosome DNA vaccine adjuvant can enhance both worm killing and disease prevention, which is possibly mediated through the induction of a strong Th1-dominant environment in immunized mice.
