Abstract:
:There is a need for non-living adjuvant vectors that will allow a full range of local and systemic immune responses to orally administered purified antigens. Here we describe our experience with lipophilic immune-stimulating complexes (ISCOMs) containing the saponin adjuvant Quil A. When given orally, ISCOMs containing the model protein antigen ovalbumin (OVA) induce a wide range of systemic immune responses, including Th1 and Th2 CD4-dependent activity, serum IgG antibodies and class I MHC-restricted cytotoxic T cell responses. In addition, there is local production of secretory IgA antibodies in the intestine itself, as well as priming of CD4 and CD8 T cell responses in the draining lymphoid tissues. Preliminary results indicate that the mucosal adjuvant properties of ISCOMs may reflect their ability to deliver antigen combined with the pro-inflammatory properties of Quil A in a particulate form. Of the many inflammatory mediators induced, interleukin-12, derived from dendritic cells and/or macrophages, appears to be of central importance. These results indicate that ISCOMs may prove to be useful mucosal vaccine vectors with functions which are distinct from existing vectors of this type.
