Role of complement system pathways in protective immune response to treatment with heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Development of vaccines to preserve and improve human and animal health require effective protective antigens, delivery platforms and adjuvants. The immunostimulant adjuvant based on heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis (IV) was developed to boost protective immune response in different animal species against pathogen infection and tick infestations. To advance in vaccinology, in this study we used a serum proteomics approach with functional annotations and enrichment network analysis for the characterization of immune pathways and biomarkers associated with IV treatment in the wild boar animal model. The results support a role for IV in the activation of innate and adaptive immune responses through activation of humoral immune response, regulation of actin cytoskeleton pathway, coagulation cascade, complement system and innate immunity. A balance between different complement system pathways in response to IV activated antimicrobial responses while reducing risks for inflammatory diseases and pathogen-associated immunothrombosis. These results support a role for IV in stimulating protective immune and anti-inflammatory responses with application if different vaccine formulations.
