A CpG-adjuvanted intranasal enterovirus 71 vaccine elicits mucosal and systemic immune responses and protects human SCARB2-transgenic mice against lethal challenge

| Sumario: | Abstract Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is an aetiological agent responsible for seasonal epidemics of hand-foot-and-mouth disease, which causes considerable mortality among young children. Mucosal vaccines can efficiently induce secretory IgA at mucosal surfaces and thereby prevent or limit infection at the site of virus entry. CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), which resemble bacterial DNA, can induce the innate immune response through activation of Toll-like receptor 9. Here, we used CpG ODNs as adjuvants to investigate an EV71 mucosal vaccine in mice. In the EV71 + CpG group, the EV71-specific IgG and IgA titres in the serum, nasal wash, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and faeces were substantially higher than those in the EV71- and phosphate-buffered saline-treated groups. Moreover, the number of EV71-specific IgG- and IgA-producing cells was also higher in the EV71 + CpG group. Furthermore, T-cell proliferative responses and interleukin-17 secretion were markedly increased when CpG-adjuvanted EV71 was delivered intranasally. More importantly, the induced antibodies neutralised infection by EV71 of the C2 genotype and crossneutralised infection by EV71 of the B4 and B5 genotypes. Lastly, human scavenger receptor class B, member 2-transgenic mice intranasally immunised with the CpG-adjuvanted EV71 vaccine resisted a subsequent lethal challenge with EV71, indicating that CpG was an effective intranasal adjuvant for EV71 mucosal-vaccine development. |
