Research Abstract

オリゴマンノース糖鎖で被覆したリボソーム(OML)に抗原を封入して宿主に投与すると、その封入抗原に特異的な細胞性免疫を宿主に誘導できる。本研究の目的は、未だ有効な予防法がない難治性原虫感染症の制圧戦略にその"細胞性免疫誘導型ワクチン"を導入し、そのワクチン効果をマウスモデル系にて評価していくことにあった。実験は、標的とする虫体の可溶性粗抽出抗原を封入したOMLを作製し、マウスの腹腔内に2回免疫後にそれぞれの強毒株を感染させることで、細胞性免疫誘導型ワクチンとしての効果を評価していった。本研究で標的とした難治性原虫はバベシア原虫、アフリカトリパノソーマ原虫、トキソプラズマ原虫、及びリーシュマニア原虫でそのマウス感染モデル系を活用した。虫体可溶性粗抽出抗原をOMLに封入したワクチンは、リーシュマニア原虫では完全な防御効果を再現し、またトキソプラズマ原虫では部分的ではあるが有意なワクチン防御効果を見いだした。しかしながら、バベシア原虫及びアフリカトリパノソーマ原虫では一切のワクチン防御効果は見られなかった。以上の成果から、リーシュマニア原虫とトキソプラズマ原虫に対する宿主の排除免疫は細胞性免疫が重要な働きをしていることが判明し、少なくともOMLワクチンは両原虫感染症に有効であることが示唆された。
