Preparation and Immune Effect of HEV ORF2 P206@PLGA Nanoparticles
The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important pathogen that threatens global public health. One-third of the world’s population lives in the epidemic area of HEV, causing 20 million infections and 70,000 deaths annually. In China, HEV transmission has changed from human-to-human transmission of HEV1 to zoonotic transmission of HEV4, causing hepatitis outbreaks throughout the country. Protecting vulnerable groups, such as practitioners related to animal husbandry and downstream consumers who are immune deficient or pregnant, from HEV infections is an urgent task. At present, the commercial human vaccine, Hecolin®(HEV 239 vaccine), is licensed for use only in China. HEV 239 vaccine is a human vaccine developed for HEV1. Although it has a cross-protective effect on HEV4, the level of immune protection is still different. To address the transformation of domestic HEV transmission modes, there is an urgent need to develop a new vaccine against zoonotic HEV4.[email protected]is a vaccine candidate in which nanomaterials are used to encapsulate viral capsid proteins for the immunization of livestock animals. Our experiments show that[email protected]has excellent biocompatibility and safety. In addition,[email protected]can effectively induce animals to produce a high titer of antibodies against HEV4, and thus has the potential to become a veterinary vaccine for the prevention of HEV. This approach provides a new concept for HE prevention to reduce the transmission of HEV in farms and protect susceptible populations.Keywords:hepatitis E virus;vaccine immunity;nanoparticles;PLGA;P206
