Abstract

Oral DNA-based immunotherapy is a new treatment option for fish immunisation in intensive culture. However, because of the existence of the nucleases and severe gastrointestinal conditions, DNA-based vaccines can be hydrolyzed or denatured. In our laboratory, a plasmid DNA (pDNA) containing major capsid protein (MCP) gene of lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) was prepared, and then pDNA was encapsulated in chitosan microspheres through an emulsion-based methodology. The yield, loading percent and encapsulation efficiency of microspheres were 93.6%, 0.3% and 94.5%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that pDNA-loaded microspheres yielded a spherical shape with smooth surfaces. The disproportion of super-coiled to open circle and linear pDNA suggested that high transfection efficiencies of pDNA in microspheres were retained. The cumulative release of pDNA showed that chitosan microspheres were resistant to degradation in simulated gastrointestinal tract environment. The release profile at PBS buffer (pH 7.4) displayed that pDNA-loaded chitosan microspheres had a release up to 42 days after intestinal imbibition. RT-PCR showed that RNA containing information of MCP gene existed in various tissues 10-90 days post...Continue Reading

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
