Evaluation of immunological responses against outer membrane vesicles (OMV) of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae using MPLA-CpG adjuvant as a vaccine candidate
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) are major causes of non-invasive infections, including otitis media and sinusitis and it can also contribute to respiratory infections of all ages. Currently, there is no licensed vaccine against NTHi commercially available. Many studies have been conducted on the use of OMV as a vaccine against NTHi. The purpose of this study is to achieve an immunogenic vaccine against NTHi.
In this study, standard OMV Haemophilus (ATCC49766) with adjuncts CpG and MPLA was used and after infusion into BALB/c mice, the levels of antibodies and cytokines were measured on serum of immunized mice.
The results showed that total IgG antibody and IgG1 and IgG2a isotypes in OMV immunized mice with mixture of CpG-MPLA adjuvant had a significant increase. Also, the results of cytokines (IL-10, IL-4 and IFN-γ) showed that IL-4 had the highest rate.
These findings indicate that OMVs derived from NTHi strains have a high potential to act as a vaccine against NTHi infections.
