PG - 6004-10 LID - 10.1016/j.vaccine.2009.07.078 [doi] AB - Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a serious infectious disease in southern and eastern Asia. Design and development of safer and more efficacious vaccines against Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a high-priority target in the world. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) playing a central and unique role in the generation of primary T-cell responses, and are considered attractive "live adjuvants" for vaccination and immunotherapy against cancer and infectious diseases. In this study, mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (bmDCs were generated and stimulated with inactivated JEV in vitro. BALB/c mice were immunized with stimulated bmDCs and then challenged with JEV wild-type strain. The neutralization antibody, interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factors alpha (TNF-alpha) or interleukin-6 (IL-6), and virus-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) levels, as well as survival rates, were analyzed and compared with inactivated vaccine and DCs control groups. The results demonstrated that intravenous (i.v.) injection of 2 x 10(5) JEV-pulsed bmDCs into each mouse produced notable levels of JEV-specific neutralizing antibodies and higher levels of CD8+ CTL, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha compared with JEV-inactivated vaccine. Furthermore, stimulated bmDCs could elicit a highly protective efficacy (90%) against JEV challenge. It suggests that stimulated bmDCs can be considered as an attractive "live adjuvant" for vaccination against JEV infection.
