摘要： Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is one of the major swine diseases responsible for a significant challenge in the global swine industry. The current PRRS inactivated vaccine only confers limited protection against PRRSV. Thus, using an appropriate adjuvant via a suitable administration route may help improve vaccine efficacy. In this study, the recombinant B subunit of the Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin rLTB, was highly expressed in Pichia pastoris, through high-density fermentation. rLTB intranasal adjuvant properties were evaluated on an inactivated PRRS antigen in mice. Compared to the group immunized with solely PRRS antigen, a dose of 50 mu g rLTB remarkably raised antigen-specific IgA antibodies at mucosal sites, and increased serum IgG antibodies, preferentially the IgG2a and IgG2b subclasses. Further, rLTB induced increases in Th1- (IFN-gamma and IL-12) and Th17 (IL-6) cytokine profiles, but had little effect on Th2 cytokine profiles (IL-4 and IL-10). Moreover, there were no overt toxicities associated with intranasal rLTB administration. Our data provide evidence that the rLTB produced by P. pastoris fermentation portrays low toxicity, and its intranasal adjuvant effect involves immune system modulation to a Th1 profile.
