Protective efficacy of a plasmid DNA vaccine against transgene-specific tumors by Th1 cellular immune responses after intradermal injection

Copyright © 2018. Published by Elsevier Inc..

With DNA vaccines, it is important to monitor the movement of transfectants and to overcome immune deviations. We used a pCMV-LacZ plasmid (expressing β-galactosidase) and a pcDNA-hNIS plasmid (expressing the human sodium/iodide symporter [hNIS] gene) as non-secreted visual-imaging markers. Transfectants carrying the hNIS or LacZ gene migrated to peripheral lymphoid tissues. hNIS-expressing cells were observed specifically in the LNs and spleen. Anti-β-galactosidase was detected in LacZ DNA immunized mice after boosting twice, suggestive of Th2 humoral immune responses. Antibody isotyping defined the humoral immune response. A dominant IgG2a type occurred in hNIS-immunized mice in ELISAs. IgG2a/IgG1 ratios increased after hNIS DNA vaccination. High levels of INF-γ-secreting cells were identified in ELISpot and increased IFN-γ levels were found in cytokine ELISAs. Tumor growth decreased in hNIS DNA-immunized mice. In conclusion, humoral immune responses switched to the Th1 cellular immune response, even though we administered plasmid DNA by intra dermal injection.
