Abstract

The aim of this study was to measure serum and mucosal antibody responses following intranasal administration of biodegradable poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres loaded with the CS3 colonization factor isolated from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). The response was compared against that measured in mice similarly administered the native CS3 antigen and in mice co-administered, along with the CS3 antigen, a known mucosal adjuvant, the R192G mutant heat-labile enterotoxin (mLT). The integrity of the CS3 antigen released from the microspheres was maintained as determined by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. Native CS3 induced serum and mucosal (bronchoalveolar, small intestinal and faecal) IgG and IgA responses. The co-administration of the mLT mucosal adjuvant significantly enhanced (P<0.001) serum and mucosal antibody responses to the CS3 protein. Likewise, the CS3-loaded PLGA microspheres induced significantly greater (P<0.001) serum and mucosal antibody responses than native CS3, as well as inducing antibody responses superior to those of the CS3 plus mLT formulation. Following administration of CS3 plus mLT, the mice became distressed (loss of activity, increased huddling, ruffled fur), a situation not seen ...Continue Reading
