Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vaccine production technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a Sapindus mukorossi saponin adjuvant for veterinary vaccines. Background Technology
[0002] In animal husbandry, infectious diseases are a significant factor restricting the industry's development. While vaccines play a crucial role in disease control, some vaccines, when used alone, induce a weak immune response, failing to achieve ideal protective effects. Therefore, they are often used in conjunction with adjuvants to enhance the immune response. Adjuvants are substances that are injected into the body beforehand or simultaneously with the antigen, lacking antigenic properties themselves but enhancing the immune response. Currently, veterinary adjuvants are mainly divided into two categories: aqueous adjuvants and oil-emulsion adjuvants. Among them, liposome adjuvants, as a type of aqueous adjuvant, are composed of phospholipids, cholesterol, etc. They can encapsulate antigens, prevent antigen escape, and efficiently present them to immune cells. They have advantages such as being non-toxic and metabolizable, and have broad application prospects. In traditional Chinese medicine adjuvants, saponins are widely used, such as Quil A from saponin bark. They can activate T cells and antigen-presenting cells, induce immune cell differentiation and maturation, enhance the immune response, and prolong the vaccine's protective period. Immunostimulatory complexes (ISCOMs) formed by the self-assembly of saponins, cholesterol, and lecithin have both adjuvant and antigen-presenting functions, and can induce a comprehensive immune response. They have been used in a variety of vaccines.
[0003] However, the hemolytic effect of saponins limits their development as drugs. High concentrations of saponins can damage red blood cell membranes, triggering hemolytic reactions, leading to inflammation at the injection site and adverse reactions. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the dosage of saponins in adjuvants, ensuring the adjuvant's immune-enhancing effect while keeping the hemolysis rate within a safe range. Most existing saponin adjuvant preparation processes do not clearly define the safe concentration range for saponin use and lack standardized methods for measuring hemolysis rates, resulting in adjuvants with unstable safety that can easily affect vaccine efficacy. Furthermore, existing ISCOM-type adjuvant preparation processes are complex and costly, hindering large-scale application in the veterinary vaccine field. Therefore, there is a need to develop a veterinary saponin vaccine adjuvant with a simple preparation process, well-defined safety profile, and low cost. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention utilizes Sapindus mukorossi saponins to prepare veterinary vaccine adjuvants. First, a spectrophotometric hemolysis experiment is used to determine the safe limit concentration of Sapindus mukorossi saponins with a hemolysis rate not exceeding 5%. Then, using soybean lecithin and cholesterol as lipid raw materials, a nano-liposome-encapsulated Sapindus mukorossi saponin adjuvant is prepared using dialysis. This ensures the immune-enhancing effect of Sapindus mukorossi saponins while controlling the hemolysis rate within a safe range.
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a Sapindus mukorossi saponin adjuvant for veterinary vaccines, in order to solve the problems of existing saponin adjuvants having unclear safe concentration ranges, unstable hemolytic safety, and complex and costly preparation processes for existing ISCOM-type adjuvants.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for preparing a Sapindus mukorossi saponin veterinary vaccine adjuvant includes: determining the limiting concentration of Sapindus mukorossi saponin with a hemolysis rate of less than 5%, and then preparing the vaccine adjuvant based on this concentration; determining the hemolysis rate of Sapindus mukorossi saponin against erythrocytes using spectrophotometry, and screening to obtain the limiting concentration with a hemolysis rate of no more than 5%; and preparing the vaccine adjuvant using dialysis, wherein the vaccine adjuvant contains soybean lecithin and cholesterol in a weight ratio of 1:1.
[0008] Preferably, the red blood cells are selected from rabbit red blood cells, pig red blood cells, bovine red blood cells, and sheep red blood cells.
[0009] Specifically, the preparation method of the Sapindus mukorossi saponin veterinary vaccine adjuvant of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0010] S1, Hemolysis experiment, including: S11, preparation of red blood cell suspension and S12, experiment on the effect of Sapindus mukorossi saponins on hemolysis;

Determination of the maximum absorption wavelength of heme solution: Take 1 mL of distilled water into a test tube, add 1 mL of red blood cell suspension, and mix well; place in a 37℃ constant temperature water bath for 30 min to allow for complete hemolysis, and then immediately place in ice water to stop the hemolysis; centrifuge at 3000 r / min for 5 min, and take 100 μL of the supernatant containing heme from each group into a 96-well plate, with 100 μL of physiological saline as a control, and use an ELISA reader to determine the maximum absorption wavelength;

[0040] Hemolysis rate (%) = (OD sample - OD negative control) / (OD positive control - OD negative control) × 100%.
[0041] S2. Preparation of Sapindus mukorossi saponins as adjuvants for veterinary vaccines
[0042] S21, Preparation of Mega-10 stock solution: Weigh 250 mg of Mega-10 dry powder, dissolve it in 1 mL of distilled water, place it in a 37℃ incubator for 1 h to dissolve it, and make up to 1.25 mL to prepare a 20% Mega-10 stock solution.
[0043] S22. Preparation of lipid mixture stock solution: Add 5 mg of soybean lecithin and 5 mg of cholesterol to 500 μL of 20% Mega-10 stock solution, place in a 55℃ water bath for 1 hour, and sonicate for 15 minutes at 40% power for 3 seconds followed by 5 seconds of sonication, while simultaneously bathing in an ice-water bath to dissolve the lipids. After dissolution, place in a 37℃ incubator overnight to prepare a 1% lipid mixture stock solution.
[0044] S23. Preparation of Sapindus mukorossi saponin stock solution: Weigh Sapindus mukorossi saponins and dissolve them in sterile PBS solution to obtain a 20 μg / mL Sapindus mukorossi saponin stock solution.
[0045] S24. Preparation of Sapindus saponin veterinary vaccine adjuvant: Take 200 μL of 1% lipid mixture stock solution and add 1300 μL of PBS solution and mix well. Then add 500 μL of Sapindus saponin stock solution and mix thoroughly. Sonicate for 2 seconds, stop for 5 seconds, for a total of 20 minutes at 20% power, while simultaneously bathing in an ice-water bath. After standing at room temperature for 2 hours, transfer to an 8KD dialysis bag and dialyze with PBS solution at room temperature for 3 days, changing the dialysate 3 times a day. After dialysis, store at 4℃. The Sapindus saponin veterinary vaccine adjuvant (NISCOM) is obtained, in which the concentration of Sapindus saponin is 5 μg / mL, cholesterol is 0.1%, and soybean lecithin is 0.1%.
[0046] This invention uses FPV as the antigen, mixed with the obtained NISCOM adjuvant to prepare a vaccine, and compares it with an immunostimulatory complex (ISCOM) as a positive control to detect the immunostimulatory effect of the NISCOM adjuvant. The immunostimulatory complex (ISCOM) is a lipid vesicle with high immunogenicity spontaneously formed by mixing antigenic substances with a mixture of saponin Quil A from saponins, cholesterol, and lecithin in a 1:1:1 ratio. Each vesicle is 40 nm in diameter and contains approximately 10-12 protein molecules. ISCOM is an excellent and novel antigen presentation system with immunostimulatory effects, possessing the dual functions of adjuvant and antigen presenter. It is applied to vaccines against various bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases, exhibiting the efficacy of generating a "comprehensive" immune response and providing long-term enhancement of specific antibody responses.
[0047] Test content:
[0048] I. Electron Microscopic Observation of NISCOM and Particle Size and Potential Measurement of NISCOM
[0049] ①The steps for NISCOM electron microscopy observation are as follows: After dialysis, take the sample and dilute it 10 times with sterile PBS to prepare TEM sample for delivery.
[0050] ②The steps for NISCOM particle size and potential detection are as follows: After dialysis, take a sample, dilute it 10 times with sterile PBS, and use a particle size analyzer to detect its particle size and potential.
[0051] II. Mouse Experiment
[0052] ① Equilibrate 4-week-old BALB / c mice for 1 week, and immunize them for the first time on day 0 by subcutaneous single-point injection of the prescribed dose of antigen or vaccine prepared by mixing with various adjuvants.
[0053] ② Observe the mice for 3 consecutive days after inoculation for any obvious abnormalities, such as curling up, tearing, or weight loss. Pay special attention to whether there is inflammation, ulcers, or hair loss in the nostrils and mouth, and randomly check the inoculation site for ulcers.
[0054] ③ On days 14 and 21, blood was collected from the eyes of 4 mice in each group. The content of specific antibodies in the serum was detected by ELISA, and the titer of specific antibodies was detected by hemagglutination inhibition test.
[0055] ④ Second immunization on day 21.
[0056] ⑤ On days 28 and 35, blood was collected from the eyes of four mice in each group. The levels of specific antibodies in the serum were detected by ELISA, and the titers of specific antibodies were detected by hemagglutination inhibition assay.
[0057] Experimental results:
[0058] I. Hemolytic Effect Experiment of Sapindus mukorossi Saponins
[0059] Determination of the maximum absorption wavelength of heme solution: The supernatant after adding distilled water to the red blood cell suspension was scanned at 520-570 nm on an ELISA reader, and the maximum absorption wavelength was determined to be 542 nm, which was used as the wavelength for subsequent measurement of the hemolytic effect of Sapindus mukorossi saponins.
[0060] Determination of Sapindus mukorossi saponin concentration: According to Table 1, the experimental results show that when the Sapindus mukorossi saponin concentration is less than or equal to 5 μg / mL, the hemolysis rate is <5%, indicating no hemolysis occurred; when the Sapindus mukorossi saponin concentration is greater than or equal to 15 μg / mL, the hemolysis rate is >5%, indicating hemolysis occurred. Meanwhile, as shown in Table 2, the erythrocyte hemolysis rate exhibits a concentration-dependent relationship; as the Sapindus mukorossi saponin concentration increases, the erythrocyte hemolysis rate also increases. Furthermore, the hemolysis curve clearly shows that the hemolysis process is not uniform; the hemolysis rate exhibits a linear jump when the Sapindus mukorossi saponin concentration is 5–25 μg / mL, and the overall curve shows an "S" shape, as shown in Table 2. Therefore, a Sapindus mukorossi saponin concentration ≤ 5 μg / mL was selected for preparing Sapindus mukorossi saponin veterinary vaccine adjuvant.

[0063] Table 2. Absorbance and hemolysis rate at different saponin concentrations
[0064]
[0065] External characterization of Sapindus saponins as adjuvants in veterinary vaccines:
[0066] The prepared Sapindus mukorossi saponin veterinary vaccine adjuvant, containing Sapindus mukorossi saponin at a concentration of 5 μg / mL, cholesterol at 0.1%, and soybean lecithin at 0.1%, was observed under an electron microscope as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, combined with the particle size detection results, it can be seen that NISCOM has a typical honeycomb structure, with relatively uniform size and a diameter of 30 nm. Figure 3 This is the particle size distribution diagram of NISCOM diluted 10 times according to the present invention. This result is consistent with... Figure 6 and Figure 7 The findings are consistent with those in the dissertation "Research on Inactivated Vaccine and Adjuvant for Porcine Mycoplasma Pneumonia" (Shanxi Agricultural University, 2013): the ISCOM-matrix prepared in that dissertation has a typical cage-like structure, is uniform in size, and its diameter is similar to that of ISCOM and its derivatives, all around 30 nm. Potential measurements of NISCOM diluted 10-fold yielded three results of -14.87, -14.39, and -14.93, with an average of -14.73. The negative potential indicates its relative stability.
[0067] Evaluation of Sapindus mukorossi saponins as adjuvants for veterinary vaccines in in vivo:
[0068] After vaccination, there was no significant difference in body weight between the NISCOM group, antigen group, ISCOM group, and PBS group mice. Figure 4 As shown, this indicates that NISCOM adjuvant has a good safety profile. (Combined with...) Figure 5 It can be seen that the FPV antibody levels in each group increased slowly after the first immunization, but increased rapidly after the second immunization. The FPV antibody levels in both the NISCOM and ISCOM groups were higher than those in the antigen group, and the FPV antibody levels in the NISCOM group were also higher than those in the ISCOM group.
[0069] According to the hemagglutination titer test results, as shown in Table 3, it can be seen that 14 days after immunization, FPV antibodies can be detected in the serum of the inactivated FPV, inactivated FPV+ISCOM, and inactivated FPV+NISCOM groups, but the titers are low, at 1:2 respectively. 4 1:2 5 1:2 3 Antibody titers increased significantly on day 28, and the titers in both the inactivated FPV+ISCOM group and the inactivated FPV+NISCOM group reached a ratio of 1:2 35 days post-immunization. 10 The results were largely consistent with the ELISA results, as shown in Table 4. This indicates that the Sapindus mukorossi saponin veterinary vaccine adjuvant (NISCOM) is more effective than ISCOM, significantly increasing the FPV antibody content in the serum of BALB / c immunized mice, demonstrating that the Sapindus mukorossi saponin veterinary vaccine adjuvant has a significant adjuvant effect.
