OBJECTIVE: To evaluation the effect of different mucosal vaccination pathway on hantavirus with the recombinant E. coli heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit (rLTB) as adjuvant. METHODS: The rLTB was expressed and purified. Take the inactivated hantavirus strain 84Fli as vaccine, and immunized C57 BL/6 mice through intranasal, oral and vaginal respectively. Specific IgG and sectory IgA were detected by ELISA in serum, and vaginal washing samples respectively. RESULTS: The rLTB was efficiently expressed under the induction of lactose, identified by western blotting and GM-1 binding experiment. The vaccination through intranasal, oral and vaginal, can induce IgG and sectory IgA response. CONCLUSION: Inactivated hantavirus can produce mucosal immune response with rLTB as adjuvants through intranasal, oral and vaginal vaccination respectively.
