| Abstract | The purpose of this study was the development and physicochemical and immunological characterization of intranasal (i.n.) vaccine formulations of whole inactivated influenza virus (WIV) coated with N,N,N-trimethyl chitosan (TMC).Synthesized TMCs with a degree of quarternization of 15% (TMC15) or 37% (TMC37) were tested in vitro for their ability to decrease the transepithelial resistance (TEER) of an epithelial cell monolayer. TMC15- and TMC37-coated WIV (TMC15-WIV and TMC37-WIV) were characterized by zeta potential measurements, dynamic light scattering, electron microscopy and gel permeation chromatography. Mice were vaccinated i.n. with selected vaccine formulations and immunogenicity was determined by measuring serum hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and serum IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a/c titers. Also a pulse-chase study with TMCs in solution administered i.n. 2 h prior to WIV was performed. Protective efficacy of vaccination was determined by an aerosol virus challenge.TMC37 induced a reversible decrease in TEER, suggesting the opening of tight junctions, whereas TMC15 did not affect TEER. Simple mixing of (negatively charged) WIV with TMC15 or TMC37 resulted in positively charged particles with TMCs being partially bound. Intranasal immunization with TMC37-WIV or TMC15-WIV induced stronger HI, IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a/c titers than WIV alone. TMC37-WIV induced the highest immune responses. Both TMC15-WIV and TMC37-WIV provided protection against challenge, whereas WIV alone was not protective. Intranasal administration of TMC prior to WIV did not result in significant immune responses, indicating that the immunostimulatory effect of TMC is primarily based on improved i.n. delivery of WIV.Coating of WIV with TMC is a simple procedure to improve the delivery and immunogenicity of i.n. administered WIV and may enable effective i.n. vaccination against influenza. |

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.
