Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods of enhancing immune response to oral vaccines.
- oral vaccines have inadequate immuno-genicity to ensure immunization with a single dose, particularly when administered to children.
- a number of chemical substances have been used as immunoadjuvants, i.e., substances that are administered with a vaccine to enhance cell-mediated immunity or to increase the humoral response to the immunogen used for vaccination. These substances have traditionally not been used with oral vaccines because they may cause undesirable side effects or are not suitable for oral administration.
- immunoadjuvant refers to substances which enhance the immune response to a vaccine.
- the invention features a method of enhancing the immune response to an oral vaccine of a recipient of the vaccine.
- an immunoadjuvant comprising an effective amount of a strain of Lactobacillus bacteria is administed to the recipient, with the oral vaccine or close enough in time to bring about immune response enhancement.
- the Lactobacillus bacteria are able to survive at low pH and produce large amounts of an antimicrobial substance.
- Preferred strains having these properties are described in U.S. 4,839,281 and 5,032,399, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Preferred bacteria are able to colonize the intestinal tract, as evidenced by the presence of the bacteria in the feces of the subject after oral administration, and preferably also have substantially the same properties exhibited by the Lactobacillus bacteria deposited in the American Type Culture Collection and given ATCC Accession No. 53103. Most preferably, the Lactobacillus bacteria is Lactobacillus Strain GG.
- the immunoadjuvant is administered in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, e.g., a fermented dairy product or a culture-containing powder, capsule or tablet.
- the Lactobacillus bacteria is preferably coadministered to the person given the vaccine, then administered alone to the person for a period of one or more days after administration of the vaccine.
- the immunoadjuvant of the invention enhances immunity after administration of an oral vaccine.
- the immunoadjuvant may allow immunity to be obtained from a single dose of an oral vaccine which, due to its characteristics or other factors, would otherwise require multiple doses, or may enhance the immune response to an oral vaccine.
- Al ⁇ o as the
- Lactobacillus bacteria is a harmless naturally occurring substance, present in, e.g., yogurt, it produces no significant harmful side effects.
- Lactobacillus Strain GG refers to a particular strain of Lactobacillus bacteria, a lactic acid bacteria. This strain is described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,839,281 and 5,032,399, incorporated above by reference.
- the GG strain has been deposited in the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) , Rockville, Mass., and has been given ATCC Accession No. 53103. Lactobacillus Strain GG may be cultured on any appropriate sterilized fermentation medium.
- a cryoprotectant e.g. monosodium glutar ⁇ ate sodium ascorbate, saccharose or lactose, be added to the cells after culturing.
- the Lactobacillus Strain GG bacteria is administered in an amount which is sufficient to colonize the intestinal tract of the patient.
- a dosage of at least 10 8 cfu, preferably 10 8 to 10 10 cfu, is generally adequate for mo ⁇ t patients. Dosages of 10 10 cfu are likely to completely colonize the intestinal tract of sub ⁇ tantially all patient ⁇ . Higher dosages may be administered, if desired, but dosages above about 5xl0 10 cfu typically require impractically large volumes of the bacteria-containing material to be administered.
- the bacteria be administed to the patient over a ⁇ erie ⁇ of days, with the preferred dosage (above) given on each day.
- the bacteria i ⁇ fir ⁇ t coadministered with the vaccine then administered alone for a period of 1 to 4 day ⁇ , preferably 2 days, after admini ⁇ tration of the vaccine. It ha ⁇ been found that this cour ⁇ e of treatment provides optimal enhancement of the immune response.
- the bac eria may be mixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or a food product, for ease of administration.
- a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or a food product for ease of administration.
- the bacteria may be provided in the form of a powder.
- the bacteria may be provided in tablet or capsule form, as a freeze-dried powder which may be mixed with food or drink, or in any other suitable form.
- the bacteria may also be provided in the form of a actoJacillus-containing cultured dairy product, provided the product contains an effective amount of the bacteria.
- Oral vaccines which are suitable for use in the invention include, but are not limited to, vaccines for rotaviru ⁇ , typhoid, cholera, adenoviru ⁇ , polio, E. coli and the like.
