| Abstract | One of the current goals in vaccine development is the noninvasive administration of protective antigens via mucosal surfaces. In this context, the gut-associated lymphoid tissues have already been extensively explored. Vaccination via the nasal route has only recently been the focus of intensive investigation, and no live vector specifically designed for the respiratory mucosa is yet available. In this study we show that intranasal administration of the recombinant Bordetella pertussis BPGR60, producing the Schistosoma mansoni 28-kDa glutathione S-transferase (Sm28GST) protective antigen fused to filamentous hemagglutinin, induces priming in mice for the production of serum antibodies. In addition to significant levels of anti-Sm28GST immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies, high levels of anti-Sm28GST serum antibodies were obtained after intranasal boost with the purified antigen or infection with S. mansoni following intranasal priming with BPGR60. These antibodies were of the IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b isotypes, suggesting a mixed immune response. No priming was observed in animals that had received nonrecombinant B. pertussis or purified Sm28GST, indicating specific priming by BPGR60. This priming was also evident in immune protection against S. mansoni challenge. Significant protection against worm burden and egg output was obtained in mice primed with BPGR60 and intranasally boosted with purified Sm28GST. A lower but still significant degree of protection against egg output was also obtained in mice infected with a single dose of BPGR60. These results indicate that intranasal administration of recombinant B. pertussis can prime for serum antibody responses against a foreign antigen and for heterologous protection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
