The results of alternative studies on the immunogenic activity of live rabies vaccines for oral immunization of wild carnivorous animals are presented. The method of evaluation of immunogenicity using a model of oral immunization in mice with experimental infection control rabies virus CVS in the dose of 10–100 MLD50/0,03 ml. Once entered immunizing dose for white mice, weighing 12–14 g were 56.200 MLD50, the titers of VNA ranged from 1:6 to 1:16 (3,0–4,0 log2) and above.

The purpose of this work was to assess the ability of plasmid DNA encoding hepatitis B virus (HBV) HBsAg encapsulated in poly(dl-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles to induce local and systemic HBsAg-specific immunity following a single dose of oral immunization. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated prolonged transcription of plasmid DNA, consistent with the sustained expression and presentation of target antigen observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy, in gut-associated lymphocyte tissue (GALT) from mice immunized orally with plasmid DNA encapsulated into PLGA microparticles. Oral administration of PLGA-DNA microparticles induced a long-lasting and stable antigen-specific antibody response, both serum total antibody and intestinal IgA, in BALB/c mice. Mice immunized orally exhibited antigen-specific gamma interferon production and cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses in spleen and GALT after restimulation in vitro with HBsAg or tumour cells stably expressing HBsAg. In contrast, naked DNA vaccines given by intramuscular injection induced only systemic cellular and humoral responses to HBsAg, which were much lower than the responses elicited by oral DNA encapsulated in PLGA microparticles at equivalent doses. The results are encouraging with regard to obtaining good compliance and vaccination coverage with candidate plasmid DNA vaccines, especially in developing countries.

ABSTRACTWhile Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) has a high mortality rate in humans, the associated virus (CCHFV) does not induce clinical symptoms in animals, but animals play an important role in disease transmission to humans. Our aim in this study was to examine the immunogenicity of the CCHFV glycoprotein when expressed in the root and leaf of transgenic plants via hairy roots and stable transformation of tobacco plants, respectively. After confirmatory analyses of transgenic plant lines and quantification of the expressed glycoprotein, mice were either fed with the transgenic leaves or roots, fed the transgenic plant material and injected subcutaneously with the plant-made CCHFV glycoprotein (fed/boosted), vaccinated with an attenuated CCHF vaccine (positive control), or received no treatment (negative control). All immunized groups had a consistent rise in anti-glycoprotein IgG and IgA antibodies in their serum and feces, respectively. The mice in the fed/boosted group showed a significant rise in specific IgG antibodies after a single boost. Our results imply that oral immunization of animals with edible materials from transgenic plants is feasible, and further assessments are under way. In addition, while the study of CCHF is challenging, our protocol should be further used to study CCHFV infection in the knockout mouse model and virus neutralization assays in biosafety level 4 laboratories.
