Methods ICR mice were subcutaneously immunized three times with rEg14-3-3, followed by the challenge with Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces intraperitoneally and then sacrificed after six months of post-challenge to detect the proliferation of splenocytes by MTT assay, and to measure the secretion of IL-2, IL-4, IL-20, and IFN -y by ELISA. The rate of reduced hydatid cyst and the levels of IgE, igG and IgG subclasses in sera were examined. Results Mice vaccinated with rEg14-3-3 and challenged with protoscoleces revealed significant protective immunity of 84.47%. ELISA analysis indicated that the immunized mice generated specific high levels of IgG and the prevailing isotypes of IgG were IgG1 and IgG2a. Splenocytes from mice immunized with rEg14-3-3 showed a significant proliferation response. The secretion of IFN-V and IL-2 increased significantly in the vaccinated mice whereas there was no significant difference in IL-4 and IL-20 levels between vaccinated and control mice. Conclusion The results indicate that the rEg24-3-3 vaccine could induce a high level of protective immunity as a promising vaccine candidate to prevent cystic echinococcosis.展开更多
