Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The cationic lipid dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB) and the CpG oligonucleotide (CpG) have been separately used as potent immunoadjuvants driving Th1 responses. Here DODAB bilayer fragments (BF) and CpG (5'-TTGACGTTCG-3') assemblies have their physical properties and immunoadjuvant activity determined using ovalbumin (OVA) as a model antigen. At 0.1mg/mL OVA, the dependence of DODAB BF/OVA size and zeta-potential on time and [DODAB] establishes 0.1mM DODAB as suitable for obtaining stable and cationic DODAB BF/OVA assemblies. At 0.1mM DODAB, 0.1mg/mL OVA and 0.006mM CpG, the zeta-potential is zero. At [CpG]>0.006mM, good colloidal stability for the anionic assemblies is due to charge overcompensation. At 0.020mM CpG, these DODAB BF/OVA/CpG assemblies are highly effective in vivo generating responses similar to those elicited by the stable and cationic DODAB BF/OVA. The anti-OVA DTH reaction and the secretion of IFN-gamma and IL-12 are 6, 42 and 9 times larger for the DODAB BF/OVA/CpG-immunized mice than the same responses by OVA-immunized mice, respectively. This work shows for the first time that charge of small assemblies is not important to determine the immune response.
