Description

Method for immunizing animals by using needleless injector
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a method for immunizing animals by using a needleless injector.
Background
DNA immunization is a new immunological theory and technology that was established and developed in the early 90 s. Plasmid DNA can be present in the cells of a recipient in a circular, non-integrated, non-replicating state for up to 1 month. The plasmid DNA can be directly taken up by the cells in the body of the animal of the receptor and express the protein of the gene product, thereby laying the foundation of DNA immunity. Through DNA immunization technology, the target gene DNA can directly generate antigen in a body of a receptor animal, stimulate the body of the receptor animal to generate immune response to target gene protein and generate antibody. The animals with the immune response can be further used for producing serum antibodies of the animals and can also be used for developing monoclonal antibody medicaments.
The use of DNA immunization techniques eliminates the need for in vitro production and purification of protein antigens, which has led to the implementation and implementation of many projects where it has previously been difficult to obtain purified protein antigens using conventional in vitro protein expression methods. Therefore, the work of protein expression and purification is reduced, and the cost of manpower and reagent materials is saved. The antibody produced by DNA immunization recognizes structural proteins in native conformation, and the affinity of the antibody produced by the antigen expressed in vivo is higher. Compared with the traditional protein immunization, the complex protein purification process is avoided. Furthermore, the expressed protein can maintain the native structure of the protein to the maximum extent, which is very important for the production of high affinity therapeutic antibodies that recognize the native conformation of the target antigen. Most of the existing DNA immunization methods adopt a conventional needle injection method to immunize animals, and for some antigens with lower immunogenicity, the conventional immunization cannot produce ideal antibody serum titer, so that the requirement of developing new antibody medicines cannot be met.
The principle of action of needleless injection immunization DNA is as follows: the major antigen presenting cells in the epidermis, Langerhans Cells (LCs), serve the dual functions of immune surveillance and antigen presentation, and needleless injectors deliver DNA antigens to the skin under high pressure, where they are taken up by LCs, subsequently migrate to draining lymph nodes carrying the antigens, present the antigens to T cells, activate CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, perform effector functions at peripheral and mucosal sites, and activate B cells to produce systemic and mucosal antibodies. The stimulation of the antigen given to the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue can increase the targeting effect of the APCs and improve the immune response, the antigen injected into the dermis tissue has more types and quantity than the antigen generated in the intramuscular injection, because the quantity of the APCs is more, the larger dispersion of the antigen increases the surface area contacted with the APCs when the needleless injector is used for immunizing the animal, and the antigen enters the animal body to be distributed in a block shape when the conventional needle injector is used for immunizing the animal, thereby greatly reducing the dispersion of the antigen and the surface area contacted with the APCs.
The needleless injector for immunization is a spray gun, and the antigen is made to reach a plurality of tissue parts including epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue and muscle through a tiny orifice under high pressure. The basic components of the medicine spray nozzle comprise a power source (spring) piston, a medicine chamber and a spray nozzle. The action process of the needleless injection immunization comprises the following steps: when the activation device is triggered, the power source pushes the piston to act on the medicine chamber to quickly form pressure, the speed of the medicine passing through the nozzle reaches 100-200 m/s, the medicine collides with the skin and then penetrates the skin through a stream of superfine liquid jet flow containing the antigen, the whole process is quickly finished within 100 mu s, and the jet flow is dispersed in the skin in a multidirectional way and presented to a plurality of tissue parts. The process comprises 3 stages: in the peak pressure period, the administration period (dispersion period) and the dissipation period, as the jet flow forms a passage in the tissue by itself, the resistance of the passage is small, so that the antigen can be dispersed widely and presents cobweb-shaped distribution, the antigen can be dispersed in the tissue by a small force in the dispersion period, and the contact probability of the antigen and Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) can be increased by the DNA antigen with a wide dispersion area.
The conventional animal immunization method uses a conventional needle injector, generally needs a large DNA antigen dose, is complex to operate, and has low vector delivery efficiency and in vivo expression level, so that an animal body can generate low immune reaction, and the requirement of antibody drug discovery cannot be met. The experiment process needs to use the sharp ware of syringe needle to puncture, causes the animal blooding and subcutaneous damage, produces complication such as induration to the operation process has increased the probability that the experimenter received the injury. Therefore, immunization of animals using needleless injectors has become a method of DNA immunization, preferably injection. However, the conventional needleless injector for animal use is usually large in size, expensive and cumbersome to operate, and needs additional power gas as a power source, which are not favorable for the development of experiments and cannot meet the requirement of a certain experimental throughput.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop an animal immunization method with convenient operation, low price and good immune response effect, which can avoid complications of experimental animals, ensure safety of experimenters, and simultaneously can ensure high delivery efficiency and high in vivo expression level of antigen vectors.

As shown in FIG. 4, the serum titer detection result of the third blood collection of 4 SD rats adopts low-dose needle-free injection for animal immunization, and the antibody titer generated in SD rats to specific antigens is still obviously superior to that of the immune reaction of the injection with a needle. It can be seen that the use of low doses of needleless injection can greatly reduce the amount of antigen used.
The following table shows the serum titer data of each experimental animal group:
