Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine inducing strong mucosal and systemic immune responses against both anthrax toxins and bacilli after nasal immunization using a synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid as adjuvant. The capsular poly-gamma-D-glutamic acid (PGA) from bacillus is immunogenic when conjugated to a carrier protein and dosed intranasally to mice. The nasal immunization with the poly-gamma-D-glutamic acid-carrier protein conjugate in combination with the anthrax protective antigen (PA) protein induces both anti-PGA and anti-PA immune responses in mouse sera and lung mucosal secretions. The anti-PA antibody response is shown to have anthrax lethal toxin neutralization activity. The anti-PGA Abs induced are able to activate complement and kill PGA-producing bacteria. It is feasible to develop a novel dual-action nasal anthrax vaccine Bacillus anthracis
