Abstract
ABSTRACT
Plasmids encoding the measles virus hemagglutinin (HA) and nucleoprotein (NP) proteins inoculated into the skin of BALB/c mice by the gene gun method induced both humoral and cytotoxic lymphocyte class I-restrict- ed immune responses. Although intramuscular immunization induces the immunoglobulin G2a (IgG2a) antibody isotype for both antigens, with gene gun immunization, the NP still generated mainly IgG2a and the major isotype induced by the HA was IgG1. Interestingly, gene gun coimmunization of HA and NP plasmids resulted in a dominant IgG1 HA response and the switching of antibodies generated against the NP to the IgG1 isotype.
