Objective:
To construct recombinant adenovirus containing codon-modified HPV16L1 gene, and evaluate systemic and mucosal immunological responses induced after immunization with the recombinant virus.
Methods:
The recombinant adenovirus rAd-mod.HPV16L1 was constructed by Admax kit. The C57 BL/6 mice were immunized by purified rAd-mod.HPV16L1 through different inoculation routes. The immunological effect was evaluated by testing the specific neutralizing antibodies in sera and vaginal secretions of immunized mice through indirect ELISA and neutralization assay based HPV pseudovirus.
Results:
The result showed that intramuscular immunization could induce good systemic immunity, but the mucosal immunity was too weak, and immunization via intranasal route could induce satisfactory immunity both in sera and vaginal secretions, while intravaginal immunization failed to induce any specific immunological responses either in sera or vaginal secretions.
Conclusion:
The recombinant adenovirus containing codon- modified HPV16L1 gene was successfully constructed. Immunization through intranasal route could induce satisfactory immunity both in sera and vaginal secretions, while intramuscular immunization could only induce high titer of neutralizing antibodies in sera.
