Yu Qi et al., J <strong>Vaccines</strong> Vaccin <strong>2013</strong>, 4:5http://dx.doi.org/10.4172/2157-7560.S1.0183 rd International Conference on<strong>Vaccines</strong> & VaccinationJuly 29-31, <strong>2013</strong> Embassy Suites Las Vegas, NV, USAPathological observation of DNA vaccines on mice infected with multi-drug-resistantMycobacterium tuberculosisYu Qi, Bai Xuejuan and LiningThe 309 th Hospital, P. R ChinaObjective: By observing the histopathological changes in lung, liver and spleen of mice, to study the therapeutic effects of DNAvaccines (HSP60 DNA, Ag85A DNA, Ag85A DNA combined with rifampin, chimeric Ag85A/ESAT-6, chimeric Ag85A/ESAT-6combined with rifampin) in the mouse model of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.Methods: Pathogen-free female B/C mice of 6-8 weeks of age were purchased 80 BALB/c mice were infected with strain HB361by intratail-vein injection HB361,which was resistant to high level of RFP, and low level of isoniazid (INH), and then were dividedinto 8 groups. After 3 days, the mice were treated by saline, vector Pvax1, rifampin, HSP60 DNA, Ag85A DNA, Ag85A DNAcombined with rifampin, chimeric Ag85A/ESAT-6, chimeric Ag85A/ESAT-6, combined with rifampin for 60 days, respectively.The mice were killed after 3 weeks’ treatment. We observed the lung, liver and spleen pathological changes and counted theresidual TB in spleen by acid-fast staining.Results: The Pathological condition of lung, liver and spleen in mice treated by DNA vaccine were better than the control groups,especially the Ag85A DNA groups and Ag85A DNA combined with rifampin group. Also the residual TB of the Ag85A DNAgroups and Ag85A DNA combined with rifampin group were least in spleen.Conclusions: We can evaluate the therapeutic effects of DNA vaccine objectively and accurately according to the histopathologicalchanges in lung, liver and spleen. And the results show that Ag85A DNA vaccine could be an effective agent to therapy the mouseinfected by MDR-TB.BiographyYu Qi has completed her M.D. at the age of 27 years from Medical School of Chongqing University.
