pharmacology | immunization of female BALB/c mice with negatively, positively charged or neutral liposomes encapsulated with rgp63, rgp63 in soluble form. The group of mice immunized with recombinant gp63 encapsulated in neutral liposomes shows a significantly smaller footpad swelling upon challenge with Leishmania major compared with positively or negatively charged liposomes. The mice immunized with neutral liposomes show the lowest splenic parasite burden, the highest IgG2a/IgG1 ratio and IFN-gamma production and the lowest IL-4 level compared to the other groups. The results indicate that a Th1 type of immune response is induced in mice immunized with neutral liposomes more efficiently than positively charged liposomes and conversely negatively charged liposomes induce a Th2 type of immune response | Leishmania major |
