AI Technical Summary
Existing traditional vaccine adjuvants such as aluminum and mineral oil have limitations in inducing immune responses. Aluminum adjuvants mainly induce Th2 humoral immunity, but cellular immunity is not sufficiently stimulated. Mineral oil adjuvants produce strong local inflammatory reactions and have poor biodegradability. Furthermore, there are no reports on the preparation of novel adjuvants by combining EGCG with soybean oil.
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) was compounded with soybean oil and a stable oil-in-water emulsion was formed through high-speed shear emulsification and homogenization to prepare Pasteurella multocida nanovaccine, which served as a novel adjuvant ESO to enhance the immune effect.
ESO adjuvant significantly enhances the sustained high level of specific IgG antibodies, achieving a highly efficient and significant immune-enhancing effect. The induced specific IgG antibody level remains high, significantly higher than that of traditional aluminum adjuvant, and has multiple synergistic biological activities, improving antioxidant capacity, significantly reducing oxidative stress damage to the immune system, forming an immune response, and improving the protection rate against Pasteurella multocida and Bordetella bronchiseptica, resulting in excellent clinical protective efficacy.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular to a method for preparing and applying a Pasteurella-Bordetella nanovaccine. Background Technology
[0002] Pasteurella multocida infection and bortezomib infection are two bacterial infectious diseases that seriously threaten the development of my country's aquaculture industry. They are caused by Pasteurella multocida (… Pasteurella multocida Pm) and Bordetella bronchiseptica ( Bordetella bronchiseptica The former is characterized by respiratory symptoms and septicemia, while the latter manifests as a chronic respiratory infection. Both are characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates, causing huge economic losses to the livestock industry. Scientific feeding management, strict quarantine procedures for introduced breeds, and immunization with a bivalent inactivated vaccine against Pasteurella and Bordetella are key measures to effectively control the above-mentioned diseases, ensure the health of livestock, and promote the stable development of the livestock industry.
[0003] Vaccine adjuvants, as a core component of vaccine formulations, can significantly enhance antigen immunogenicity, regulate immune response types, and prolong immune memory. However, currently used traditional vaccine adjuvants (such as aluminum and mineral oil) have significant limitations: aluminum adjuvants mainly induce Th2 humoral immunity, with insufficient stimulation of cellular immunity; while mineral oil adjuvants can enhance cellular immunity, they cause strong local inflammatory reactions and have poor biodegradability. Therefore, developing safe and efficient novel adjuvants has become an important direction in veterinary vaccine research. Vegetable oil emulsion adjuvants demonstrate significant advantages in this regard: vegetable oils (such as injectable soybean oil, meeting the standards of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia) have good biocompatibility and biodegradability, and can significantly reduce inflammatory reactions at the injection site; as a hydrophobic carrier, they can form stable oil-in-water (O / W) emulsions with antigens and immune-enhancing components through emulsification processes, not only achieving sustained-release delivery of antigens but also helping to stimulate the body to produce stronger humoral and cellular immune responses.
[0004] Epigallocatechin gallate (Epigallocatechin gallate) Epigallocatechin gallate EGCG (enzyme-enhanced eosinophils) is the main active polyphenol component in green tea, possessing various biological activities such as antioxidation, anti-inflammation, antiviral, antitumor, and immune enhancement. It can activate the function of immune cells such as macrophages and T cells. These properties give EGCG potential application value in activating the body's immune system and enhancing the effectiveness of vaccines. However, there are currently no reports on the preparation of novel adjuvants by combining EGCG with soybean oil. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing and applying Pasteurella multocida nanovaccines to address the problems existing in the prior art. This invention prepares a novel adjuvant ESO by compounding EGCG with soybean oil, and then emulsifies it with Pm-Bb antigen to prepare a vaccine. The physicochemical properties and immunomodulatory effects are systematically evaluated, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the development of highly effective veterinary vaccine adjuvants.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution:
[0007] One of the technical solutions of the present invention is a method for preparing Pasteurella-Bordetella nanovaccine, comprising the following steps: emulsifying epigallocatechin gallate, antigen aqueous phase and soybean oil by high-speed shearing, and then homogenizing to form a stable oil-in-water emulsion, which is the Pasteurella-Bordetella nanovaccine.
[0008] The second technical solution of the present invention is a Pasteurella-Bordetella nanovaccine prepared by the preparation method.
[0009] The third technical solution of the present invention is the application of the Pasteurella-Botrytis cinerea nanovaccine in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and / or treatment of Pasteurella multocida and / or Botrytis cinerea.
[0010] The fourth technical solution of the present invention is a drug for the prevention and / or treatment of Pasteurella multocida infection and / or Bordetella multocida infection, comprising the Pasteurella multocida-Bordetella nanovaccine.
[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0012] This invention combines epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with soybean oil to form a novel adjuvant ESO, and uses this to prepare Pasteurella multocida nano-vaccines, achieving the following significant beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. Significant immune-enhancing effect: The level of specific IgG antibodies induced by ESO adjuvant remained high, and the levels of IgG1 and IgG2a subtypes were significantly higher than those of traditional aluminum adjuvant.
[0014] 2. Synergistic effect of multiple bioactivities: EGCG not only exerts an adjuvant effect, but its own antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties enable the vaccine to simultaneously enhance serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) activity during the immunization process, significantly reduce malondialdehyde (MDA) content, effectively alleviate immune and infection-related oxidative stress damage, and form a synergistic effect of immune enhancement and antioxidant protection.
[0015] 3. Excellent protective efficacy: Challenge trials have confirmed that the ESO vaccine has a protection rate of up to 90% against Pasteurella multocida and Bordetella bronchiseptica, which is significantly better than the 40%-70% protection rate of the aluminum adjuvant group. At the same time, the bacterial load in the lungs is significantly reduced, demonstrating excellent clinical protective effect.
[0016] 4. Excellent physicochemical properties: The water-in-oil (O / W) emulsion prepared by high-pressure homogenization process has uniform particle size (approximately 177 nm), stable zeta potential (-40.97 mV), and good dispersibility, meeting the stability standards of the Veterinary Pharmacopoeia.
[0017] In summary, this invention, through the innovative combination of EGCG and vegetable oil, overcomes the limitations of traditional adjuvants in terms of immunogenicity, safety, and single function, providing a highly efficient and safe new vaccine solution for the prevention and control of Pasteurella multocida and Bordetella multocida infections.

[0064] 2 Results
[0065] 2.1 Identification of the physicochemical properties of ESO-Pm-Bb vaccine emulsion
[0066] To optimize vaccine preparation processes, this invention compared the effects of different homogenization pressures (800 Pa, 1000 Pa, 1200 Pa) on emulsion properties. Through comprehensive evaluation of emulsion type, stability, particle size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index (PDI), the results showed that the emulsions under all preparation conditions were oil-in-water (O / W) emulsions, and their stability met the requirements of the Chinese Veterinary Pharmacopoeia (<0.5 mL of aqueous phase precipitated after centrifugation of 10 ml emulsion).
[0067] Table 1 Physicochemical properties of ESO-Pm-Bb vaccine emulsions prepared under different homogenization pressures
[0068]
[0069] Note: Different letters following the data in the same row indicate significant differences. P <0.05), where the same letter indicates no significant difference (P>0.05). The same applies to the following table.
[0070] As shown in Table 1, as the homogenization pressure increased from 800 Pa to 1200 Pa, the absolute value of the Zeta potential of the emulsion increased significantly from (-31.97 ± 1.53) mV to (-40.97 ± 1.12) mV. In terms of particle size, the emulsion prepared under the 1200 Pa condition had the smallest average particle size (177.63 ± 4.94) nm, and its PDI value was (10.90% ± 2.26%), which was slightly higher than the other two groups, but still lower than 20%.
[0071] Based on comprehensive assessment, 1200 Pa is the optimal homogenization pressure. Under this condition, the emulsion appears uniformly milky white, and the dilution method confirms it as an oil-in-water (O / W) formulation. Figure 1 (A); its particle size distribution curve is a single sharp peak type ( Figure 1 (B) The aqueous phase precipitated after centrifugation of 10 ml emulsion was less than 0.5 mL. Figure 1 (C) Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation showed that the droplets were regularly shaped and evenly distributed. Figure 1 (D).

[0079] 2.2.4 Effects of ESO-Pm-Bb on the protection rate and lung bacterial load in mice after challenge
[0080] To verify the protective effect of the vaccine, mice in each group were intraperitoneally injected with 0.2 mL of Pm bacterial solution (2 × 10⁻⁶). 1 CFU / mL), Bb FX-1 bacterial liquid (5×10 8 A challenge test was conducted using CFU / mL. The results of the challenge test showed ( Figure 5 : 7 days after challenge with Pm, all mice in the control group developed severe respiratory symptoms (lethargy, dyspnea, cough), with a mortality rate of 100% and a survival rate of 0%. The survival rates in the Pm-Bb group were 20%, in the Alum group 40%, and in the ESO group 90%. Compared with the PBS and Pm-Bb groups, the survival rate in the ESO group was significantly higher.

[0083] 2.2.5 Detection of serum antioxidant indicators before and after virus challenge
[0084] To further explore the mechanism by which EGCG enhances the immune response, this study detected antioxidant markers in the serum of mice 28 days after secondary immunization and 7 days after challenge. Figure 6 ). 28 days after the second vaccination ( Figure 6 (A), 7 days after Pm infection ( Figure 6 7 days after the challenge with B) and Bb FX-1 ( Figure 6In the ESO group, the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) activities in the serum of mice were significantly higher than those in the antigen group and the aluminum adjuvant group. P <0.0001 or P <0.001). Conversely, the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), which represents the degree of lipid peroxidation damage, was significantly reduced in the ESO group ( P <0.05). This indicates that ESO adjuvants can effectively enhance the body's overall antioxidant status and reduce oxidative stress damage that may occur during the immune and infection processes.
