The protective efficacy of an intranasal (IN) Protollin-eRSV vaccine has recently been demonstrated in the RSV-susceptible BALB/c mouse model. Here, we report the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of Protollin-eRSV vaccine in the relatively resistant C57B1/6 mouse model. C57B1/6 mice immunized IN with either two or three doses of Protollin-eRSV produced significant systemic and mucosal RSV-specific antibodies. Mice immunized with the Protollin vaccine displayed polarized Th1 responses with augmented IFN gamma/IL-5 ratios in RSV-restimulated lung and spleen cell preparations compared with animals that received antigen alone. The Protollin-eRSV immunized C57B1/6 mice were fully protected against challenge without eosinophilic pulmonary pathology observed in the animals immunized with the formalin-inactivated RSV vaccine. This new model will permit us to dissect the respective roles of the TLR2 and TLR4 ligands contained in the vaccine using TLR knock-out animals established on the C57B1/6 background.
