Abstract

To develop a safe, effective and convenient vaccine for the prevention of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), we have successfully constructed two recombinant lactobacilli (LA4356-pH and DLD17-pH) that express the foreign HPAI protein, hemagglutinin 1 (HA(1)). The mucosal and systemic immune responses that are triggered by these two recombinant lactobacilli following the oral administration to BALB/c mice were evaluated. The results showed that both LA4356-pH and DLD17-pH could significantly increase the specific anti-HA(1) IgA antibody level in the mucosa and the anti-HA(1) IgG level in sera as well as stimulate the splenic lymphocyte proliferative reaction through the increased expression of IL-4. Compared with LA4356-pH, DLD17-pH was more effective in inducing the systemic and mucosal immune responses with higher anti-HA1-specific IgA and IgG levels. Therefore, DLD17-pH could be a promising oral vaccine candidate against HPAI.
