Preliminary study on intranasal immunization of SARS-CoV-2 RBD protein delivered by Sendai virus to enhance respiratory mucosal and systemic immune response
Journal Title: Journal of Air Force Medical University - Year 2023, Vol 44, Issue 7
Abstract
Objective To study the characteristics of Sendai virus ( SeV) as a delivery vector in enhancing the respiratory mucosal and systemic immune response induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RBD protein. Methods The eukaryotic expression plasmid of SARS-CoV-2 RBD and antibody Fc fusion protein-coding gene was constructed by homologous recombination technology, and transfected into 293-T cells for expression and verified by Western blotting. The expression plasmid of RBD-Fc fusion protein was transfected into 293-T cells for large-scale expression and was purified by affinity chromatography. RBD-Fc protein was delivered by SeV for intranasal immunization, and RBD-Fc group, SeV group and PBS group were set as controls. Each group was given booster immunization once after 2 weeks, and the levels of specific antibodies in serum samples and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were detected after 3 weeks. Results The pCAGGS-RBD-Fc eukaryotic expression plasmid was successfully constructed by overlapping PCR to obtain the fusion protein gene fragment (RBD-Fc) of RBD and Fc protein-encoding gene fragments. Western blotting results showed that the expression band of RBD-Fc fusion protein was in line with the expected size. After large-scale expression, a single band close to Mr 60 000 was obtained by affinity chromatography, which was consistent with the expected size and high purity. Compared with RBD-Fc group, SeV group and PBS group, RBD-specific IgG could be detected in serum samples and BALF of mice immunized by SeV delivering RBD-Fc protein through nasal cavity ( serum: P < 0. 01, BALF: P < 0. 05), and RBD-specific IgA in BALF was higher than that in RBD-Fc group. Conclusion SeV can induce a certain level of mucosal and systemic immunity in delivering SARS-CoV-2 RBD protein for intranasal immunization, providing a preliminary experimental basis for the study of mucosal vaccines for respiratory infectious diseases.
