But a kind of enhancing gene rifle inoculation dna vaccination induces the method for cellullar immunologic response
Technical field
The invention belongs to biological technical field, but relate to the new method of the cellullar immunologic response that a kind of enhancing gene rifle inoculation dna vaccination induces, and uses thereof.
Background technology
Dna vaccination (DNA vaccine) claims gene vaccine (Gene vaccine) again, it is in the nature extrinsic protein encoding gene fragment cloning on eucaryon plasmid DNA expression vector, and body produces specific cell and humoral immunization reaches the purpose of preventing and treating disease thereby can and bring out at the cell inner expression extrinsic protein behind the direct inoculation.Since it can overcome traditional vaccine the part defective, can bring out body simultaneously and produce specific cell and humoral immunization, and has preparation simply, advantages such as stable in properties, thereby be considered to third generation vaccine after attenuation, inactivated vaccine and recombinant vaccine subunit vaccine, a developing direction for following vaccine has obtained extensive concern and further investigation in recent years.The research report is arranged, and there is evident difference in dna vaccination induces immunne response in different animals intensity, and effect is comparatively sure in mouse model, and immune effect is then undesirable in large animal (as primate) and human body.The researching DNA vaccine is in the mechanism of allogenic animal difference not and how to make dna vaccination more effective focus that has become various countries scientist research in large animal, human body.
Known, the strategy that strengthens dna vaccination immunity efficient mainly comprises: screening high immunogenicity epi-position or use multivalence epitope, the targeting of optimization expression carrier, dna vaccination import, use adjuvant, seek best vaccination ways etc.Wherein the mode of dna vaccination inoculation is to its immunne response effect important influence that induces.The dna vaccination vaccination ways can be divided into by approach: intramuscular inoculation, cutaneous inoculation and mucosal vaccination; Can be divided into parcel gold grain-particle gun bombardment by the processing form of DNA, salt water dissolution-injector to inject and attenuation sramana/shigella dysenteriae or adenovirus etc. are vaccination ways such as the oral or suction of carrier.
The gene gun inoculation dna vaccination is that plasmid DNA is wrapped on the gold grain, utilize the impact of high-pressure inert gas that gold grain is directly banged in the cell, so it has higher transfection efficiency than syringe inocalation method.Gene gun inoculation only needs 1/100~1/1000 of syringe inoculation DNA consumption can induce the quite antibody response of level (Fynan EF et al.Proc Natl AcadSci USA, 1993; 90:11478-82).In view of this, it is generally acknowledged that the gene gun inoculation mode can overcome the poor efficiency of intramuscular injection inoculation dna vaccination in large animal and human body, the method for gene gun inoculation has been adopted in the experiment of dna vaccination in human body at present.
Level that there are some researches show type of immune response Th1 type immunne response that the gene gun inoculation dna vaccination induces based on the Th2 type extremely a little less than, then mainly induce Th1 type immunne response with syringe intramuscular injection or intradermal injection, (Pertmer TM et al.J Virol 1996; 70:6119-25; Feltquate DM et al.J Immunol, 1997; 158:2278-84).And Th1 type immunne response bacterium in removing viral persistent infection, anti-born of the same parents infects and antineoplastic immune in bringing into play important effect, the corresponding dna vaccination of gene gun inoculation induces the obstacle that low-level Th1 type immunne response becomes its application.
" CpG structure " (CpG motif) is notion (the Krieg AM that Krieg AM etc. proposes, et al.Nature.1995,374:6522:546-549): promptly be respectively the specific oligonucleotides sequence of two purine (5 ' side) and two pyrimidines (3 ' side) in the middle of some for unmethylated CpG dinucleotide, both sides, as 5 '-AACGTT-3 ', 5 '-GACGTC-3 ', 5 '-AGCGCT-3 ' etc.A large amount of in vitro studies are found, this ad hoc structure has activation to mammal cotton dress system, can stimulate M φ, DC, NK, T and bone-marrow-derived lymphocyte, and make it to secrete IL-2, IL-6, IL-12 and IFN-γ etc., make immunoreation change (Stacey KJ, et al.J Immunol.1996,157:5:2116-2122 to the Th1 type; Sparwasser T, et al.Eur J Immunol.1998,28:6:2045-2054; Yamamoto S, et al.Jpn J Cancer Res.1998,79:7:866-873; Bendigs S, et al.Eur J Immunol.1999,29 (4): 1209-1218).(Sato Y such as Sato, et al.Science.1996,273:5273:352-354) find, do not contain the CpG structure that in ampicillin resistance gene, exists in the kalamycin resistance gene, the less immunogenic of respective carrier, whether the existence of inferring the CpG structure in the carrier framework has thus determined the immunogenicity of dna vaccination.They further insert the immune effect of this carrier of CpG topology discovery can the raising in the carrier that contains that resistant gene of card.Yuan Zhenghong etc. (Chinese patent publication number CN 1382492A) disclose to insert in dna vaccine vector has the active CpG motifs of differential stimulus can strengthen its specific immunity originality to human immune system.Use when Weeratna etc. have reported inoculation protein vaccine HBsAg CpG ODN as adjuvant than freund 's incomplete adjuvant (FIA) and Titermax Gold etc. stronger induce immunne response and toxicity is littler, and when CpG ODN mixes use with TH2 type adjuvant, can overcome the deflection of their TH2 type adjuvant.
Gene gun inoculation DNA consumption only for syringe inoculation consumption 1/100 so that still less, the amount of the CpG motif that the former contains also only for the latter 1/100 so that still less.This may be to cause gene gun inoculation dna vaccination immunne response to be one of reason of Th2 type deflection.Still the new method of not having at present enhancing gene rifle inoculation dna vaccination adjuvant.
Have the identification receptor Toll sample receptor 9 (TLR9) of report CpG to be positioned at cell, CpG-ODN need go into born of the same parents could activate downstream signal transduction (Ahmad-Nejad P et al.EurJ Immunol, 2002; 32:1958-68).If then mainly be positioned at the extracellular with syringe in the local inoculation of bombardment CpG-ODN, processes such as the endocytosis/pinocytosis of still needing enter in the cell.Mix with plasmid DNA in the situation of back with the syringe inoculation at CpG-ODN, Weeratna etc. report (Weeratna R et al.Antisense Nucleic Acid Drug Dev1998; 8:351-6) ODN and plasmid DNA may be competed into born of the same parents receptor mutually, thereby not only may cause the antigen amount minimizing of expressing but also the CpG effect is suppressed.
In addition, the effect of CpG-ODN in the gene gun inoculation dna vaccination also can be different and influenced with the ratio of plasmid DNA because of CpG-ODN.It is 50 μ g/1 μ g that CpG-ODN and plasmid DNA ratio are used in existing research, but but a large amount of CpG intense stimulus cytokine secretions and (the Tan Y et al.Hum Gene Ther1999 that causes that antigen gene expression is suppressed in the plasmid; 10:2153-61).
Summary of the invention
But the new method that the purpose of this invention is to provide the cellullar immunologic response that a kind of enhancing gene rifle inoculation dna vaccination induces, a kind of method that can enhancing gene rifle inoculation dna vaccination induces the Th1 immunne response, and practical use.
