ABSTRACT
Objective:To probe into if human molecular adjuvant hC3d3 promote the immunogenicity of hCG? antigen to human immuno-competent cells on the basis of fusion protein.Methods:The isolated B cells, the combination of B cells and T cells, PBMC and Raji cells were treated in vitro respectively with 1, 10 and 100 nmol/L hCG?, hCG?-hC3d3 or PWM for 8-12 days. The cell proliferation was determined by incorporation of [3H] thymidine. The Ig levels in the 12-day culture supernatants were measured by indirect ELISA. The Ig-secreting cells in the 10-day cultured lymphocytes were detected by the enzyme-linked immunospot(ELISPOT) assay.Results:It was found that the proliferation of B cells, the combined B and T cells, PBMC and Raji following exposure to hCG?-C3d3 fusion protein was significantly higher than that of hCG? alone. The levels of total Ig the in 12-day culture supernatants of B cell, the combined B and T cells, and PBMC treated with 100 nmol/L hCG?-C3d3 fusion protein were 4-fold, 10-fold and 10.85-fold more than that of hCG? alone. The Ig-secreting cells were significantly increased after treated with hCG?-C3d3 fusion protein compared to the hCG? alone.Conclusion:The human molecular adjuvant hC3d3 improves the immunogenicity of hCG? in human immuno-competent cells if fused to the antigen.
