摘要： The grass carp reovirus (GCRV) is the most major pathogen that has threatened the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) industry of China for years. Though the oral vaccine has many advantages, the current vaccines still do not provide complete protection. Therefor the exploration of new preventive strategies is urgently needed. In this study, heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit of Escherichia coli (LTB) was combined with VP6 from GCRV type II (GCRV-II) via Lactococcus lactis expression system to form a potent oral vaccine and determines if fusion of LTB to the protective vaccine antigen can enhance protection in the fish. The expression of recombinant protein was confirmed by Western-blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The rare minnow was set as the model for the evaluation of the experiment administrated orally. The immune response including the antibody titer and the immune-related gene expression, and the protective efficacy which included the virus loaded and the relative protection, were thoroughly investigated after the trial. The results indicated that LTB can significantly elicit a higher neutralizing antibody responses and enhanced T-cell priming, activities and proliferation in mononuclear cells from intestine, spleen and kidney tissues when compared to the VP6 vaccine alone. Moreover, the combined adjuvant can significantly up-regulate type I interferon signaling in different immune organs, especially the mucosa associated lymphoidtissue which could not be induced by VP6 along, result in the contribution of the improvement in adaptive immune responses of the fish. In addition, challenge study showed that LTB combined VP6 could greatly improve the relative percent survival of the fish during the virus infection. These results highlight that LTB has the potential value to be a mucosal adjuvant of the fish, approaching for improving the efficacy of vaccination against GCRV-II, which does elicit both non-specific and specific immune responses.
