New non-pyrogenic hydrophobised norAbuMDP and norAbuGMDP analogues were incorporated intoproteoliposomes as adjuvants. Immunomodulatory activity was compared with Alum or MDP in experimental mice immunizedby intradermal route with recombinant Candida albicans Hsp90 or Borrelia burgdorferi OspC. Using ELISA determination ofantigen specific antibody isotypes we confirmed that for each of the tested norAbuMDP and norAbuGMDP derivates (MT01- MT08), substantially different Hsp90- and OspC-specific antibody titers of individual isotypes were detected. Although thestrongest antibody response was obtained after immunization with both antigens plus Alum, dominating isotype was consistentlyof IgG1 isotype. Experiments identified that some MDP analogues are optimal for the elicitation of Th1- and another ones forTh2-type of antigen-specific immune responses. For example immunization with rHsp90 with MDP analogues MT03, MT07and to a lesser extent MT06, MT05, and MT02 exhibited a high efficacy in elicitation of Hsp90-specific titers in IgG2a and IgG2bisotypes indicating Th1 polarization of the specific immune response. Furthermore MT-adjuvanted OspC proteoliposomessurpassed Alum with respect to OspC-specific titers in IgG2a, IgG2b isotypes when MT06 was used and IgG3, IgM isotypes whenMT05 was used. The Th1/Th2 polarization was consistent with IFN-γ and IL-4 production by antigen-stimulated splenocytesin ELISPOT. Furthermore MT exhibited better adjuvanticity than MDP and proved themselves as nonpyrogenic. This conceptrepresents a new promising platform for construction of recombinant vaccines.
