Aim:
To characterize the immunological function of Myostatin gene vaccine and observe the effect of Myostatin gene vaccine on the immunized animal.
Methods:
The mice were immunized with Myostatin gene vaccine. We characterized the antibody titer in the immunized mice serum by the ELISA. The anti-serum was detected by auto-biochemistry analysis software. Meanwhile, the effect anti-serum was detected by auto-biochemistry analysis software. Meanwhile, the effect of Myostatin gene vaccine on skeletal-muscle of the immunized mice was analyzed by HE stain. The cross section area of muscle fiber in immunized mice was analyzed by the Scion Image 4.02 software.
Results:
Myostatin gene vaccine could induce the anti-serum against Myostatin in immunized mice. Compared with that in the control group, the mean weight in the pVAC-TT-Ms immunized mice group increased with 9.8%. The quadriceps muscle, gastrocnemius muscle and pectoralis magor in immunized mice increased with 24.1%, 10.9% and 20.3%, respectively.
Conclusion:
Myostatin gene vaccine induced the specific antibody against Myostatin, and made the muscle strong.
