| 研究実績の概要 |
Age-matched female BALB/c mice were immunized with of PilVax vaccines (1 X 10^8 CFU, in a volume of 10 ul) presenting two tandem copies (M2e-M2e-PilVax) of the M2e peptide. The vaccines were administered on 3 consecutive days with additional 3 boosters given 2 weeks apart, for a total of 12 doses. One week after the final immunization (day 51 or 49), serum, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) nasal washes (NWs) and saliva were collected and subjected to M2e-specific ELISAs. Significantly increased levels of M2e-specific serum IgG and mucosal IgA antibody responses were noted.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
Tissue samples will be isolated from nasal mucosa and lungs and subjected to immunohistochemical analyses by using confocal laser scanning microscopy in order to characterize the distribution of dendritic cells, T and B cells. Furthermore, we will test the functional properties of the M2e-specific antibodies by challenging vaccinated mice with influenza virus strains (H1N1, e.g., A/California and/or H3N2, e.g., A/Guizhou) to confirm protective immunity.
