Summary

Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) nano- and microspheres did not enhance immune responses against influenza antigens. These polymeric particles failed to improve nasal IgA or serum IgG levels compared to soluble antigens.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Immunology
  • Vaccine Development

Background:

  • Polymeric nanoparticles and microspheres are explored for vaccine delivery.
  • Evaluating their efficacy in enhancing mucosal and systemic immunity is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nano- and microspheres for enhancing nasal and systemic immune responses to influenza antigen.
  • Investigate the impact of PLGA particles on IgA and IgG levels post-nasal immunization.

Main Methods:

  • PLGA nano- and microspheres were prepared with high encapsulation efficiency for influenza antigen.
  • Antigen integrity (molecular weight, antigenicity) was confirmed post-encapsulation.
  • Nasal washes (IgA) and serum (IgG) were analyzed after intranasal immunization in mice.

  • Fluorescent microspheres were used to track particle distribution after intranasal administration.

    • Main Results:

    • PLGA nanospheres showed significantly lower nasal IgA and non-significantly different serum IgG compared to soluble antigen.
    • PLGA microspheres resulted in significantly lower nasal IgA and serum IgG compared to soluble antigen.
    • Intranasally administered fluorescent microspheres did not reach the nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT).

    Conclusions:

    • PLGA nano- and microspheres did not enhance immune responses against influenza antigen.
    • Failure to uptake particles by NALT and the antigen's inherent immunogenicity may explain the lack of enhancement.
    • Further research is needed to optimize PLGA-based vaccine delivery systems for mucosal immunity.
