摘要

An eukaryotic expression plasmid expressing the rabies virus surface glycoprotein (G protein) under the control of cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter and intron was constructed. This plasmid designated as pCMVRab also contains the gene conferring resistance to kanamycin (kanR) to bacteria harbouring this plasmid rather than that conferring resistance to ampicillin (ampR) and thus is devoid of the CpG immunostimulatory sequences (ISS) present in the latter. The ability of pCMVRab to induce a protective immune response was examined in outbred swiss mice using an intracerebral (i.c.) rabies virus challenge model. Following intramuscular (i.m.) inoculation, anti-G protein antibodies as well as virus neutralizing antibodies (VNA) are detected in the sera of immunized mice up to four months after immunization. Rabies virus-secific T helper cell proliferation could be demonstrated up to six months after immunization. Induction of these immune responses in pCMVRab-immunized mice results in significant protection against a subsequent lethal i.c. rabies virus challenge. Thus, we demonstrate for the first time that a rabies G protein expression plasmid devoid of the ISS present in the ampR gene confers significant protection against i.c. rabies virus challenge when inoculated into the skeletal muscle outbred swiss mice.
