Adjuvant Efficacy of the ECMS-Oil on Immune Responses against Bordetella bronchiseptica in Mice through the TLR2/MyD88/NF-κB Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Bordetella infection can be efficiently prevented through vaccination. The current study investigated the effects of an extract of Cochinchina momordica seed (ECMS) combined with oil on the immune responses to the inactivated Bordetella vaccine in mice. Serum IgG and IgG1 level was significantly increased in ECMS-oil group compared to any other group (P < 0.05) 2 weeks after immunization, while groups ECMS200 μg/400 μg-oil had a markedly higher level of serum IgG2b and IgG3 than any other groups (P < 0.05). Moreover, lipopolysaccharide/ConA-stimulated proliferation of splenocytes was significantly enhanced in ECMS 400 μg-oil immunized mice in comparison with mice in any other group (P < 0.05). RT-PCR assay revealed that while E
