pharmacology | cationic distearoyl phosphatidylcholine liposomes, used as vaccine adjuvant with the immunodominant 63 kDa glycoprotein of promastigotes, induce significant protection against progressive visceral leishmaniasis in susceptible BALB/c mice. gp63 used without adjuvant elicits partial protection but in association with liposomes exhibits marked resistance in both the livers and spleens of the mice challenged 10 days after the last vaccination. The protective efficacy of liposomal gp63 vaccination is dose dependent, with 2.5 microg of protein showing optimal protection. Mice challenged 12 weeks after immunization are still protected, and a mixed Th1/Th2 response has been induced following immunization | Leishmania donovani |
