Immunization with dendritic cells retrovirally transduced with mycobacterial antigen 85A gene elicits the specific cellular immunity including cytotoxic T-lymphocyte activity specific to an epitope on antigen 85A

In the present study, we evaluated antigen 85A (Ag85A) gene-transduced dendritic cells (DCs) vaccine against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Murine bone marrow-derived DCs were retrovirally transduced with mycobacterial Ag85A gene and injected to BALB/c mice intravenously. The DC vaccine was capable of inducing purified protein derivative (PPD)- and the antigen-specific spleen cell proliferation and IFN-gamma production from both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in spleens of the immune mice. In addition, the DC vaccination induced cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) and IFN-gamma-producing cells specific for a 9-mer CTL epitope on Ag85A molecule. This eliciting cellular immunity led to protection against wasting disease due to M. tuberculosis infection and induction of moderate bacterial clearance.
