Abstract:ObjectiveTo study the immunological effects of recombinant HIV-1 DNA vaccine plasmids in mice.MethodsTwo DNA vaccine recombinant plasmids pIRES1-gag-hIL-2,pIRES1-gag-hIL-6 were constructed by inserting the HIV-1 gag and hIL-2/hIL-6 gene into a DNA vaccine expression vector(pIRES1neo). The expressed product of gag/hIL-2/hIL-6 gene was examined by Dot-ELISA and indirect immunofluorescent assay. Immune response of Balb/c mice immunized by the two DNA vaccine recombinant plasmids was examined by lymphocyte transformation test(LTT),cytotoxic T lymphocyte specific killer test,quantity change of T lymphocyte (CD4+, CD8+) and dynamics of specific serum IgG antibody.ResultsHigh effective expression was found in BHK cells transfected with pIRES1-gag-hIL-2,pIRES1-gag-hIL-6. Recombinant plasmids could effectively induce the proliferation of effector lymphocytes and the generation of specific lytic activity in vitro. The effects were more significant when co-expressed with human interleukins gene. ConclusionCytokine hIL-2/hIL-6 can enhance both humoral and cellular immunity in immunized mice. Constructed recombinant plasmids might provide a basis for the development of HIV-1 DNA vaccine.
