Methods: After the synthesis of PreS2/S genes and C18-27 peptide fragment in pET28a,
the recombinant protein was confirmed by Western blotting. The efficacy of the PreS2/SC18-27 protein was compared with the conventional vaccine injected into five groups of
rats. Finally, the cytokine level of IF-r, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, TNF-a, IgG1, and IgG2a were
measured using the ELISA method.
Results: This study showed no significant difference between the recombinant vaccine
group and PBS control group in the IF-r test, but there was a significant difference
between groups testing IL-2 and IL-10. In addition, the group receiving the recombinant
vaccine with CPG adjuvant at a dilution of 1/10 in the IgG total test on days 14 and 45
after the first injection showed a significant difference in comparison with other groups.
Conclusion:This study showed no statistically significant difference between the recombinant
protein vaccine group and the conventional vaccine group. The Th1- mediated immune
responses obtained from recombinant proteins with and without CPG performed better than
conventional vaccines, possibly due to the functional deficiency of the available vaccines
