PG - 88-97 LID - S0928-0987(18)30054-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ejps.2018.01.040 [doi] AB - The present in-vivo study investigated the behavior and performance of differently charged poly(lactic‑co‑glycolic) acid microparticles (PLGA MP) as vaccination platform. For this purpose, particles loaded with ovalbumin (OVA) as model antigen were subcutaneously (s.c.) injected in SKH1 mice. The utilized SKH1 hairless mice exhibit a fully operative immune system and allow parallel imaging investigations due to the lack of hair. Usage of this species enabled the combination of two investigations within a single study protocol, namely noninvasive in-vivo imaging and immune responses directed towards the antigen. All treatments were well tolerated, no safety drop-outs occurred. The fate of the model antigen OVA as well as the PLGA particles was monitored using a dual dye approach (CF660C & DiR) by multispectral fluorescence imaging (msFI). A depot effect for the OVA antigen adsorbed to the MP surface could be observed for the positively charged MPs. The immune response against OVA was then analyzed. OVA alone did not induce an immune response, whereas the positively charged as well as the neutral MP induced a strong and consistent humoral immune response with a clear favor of IgG1 over IgG2a subclass antibodies. In contrast, negatively charged MP were not able to induce measurable antibody responses. Cellular immune response was weak and inconsistent for all treated groups, which verifies previous in-vitro results conducted with the herein described microparticulate antigen platform. In conclusion, the characterization of the in-vivo performance yielded valuable information about antigen and carrier fate after application. The presented adjuvant platform is capable of inducing strong T(H)2 dominated immune responses characterized by enhanced IgG1 subclass titers which are critical for vaccines aimed at promoting induction of neutralizing antibodies.
