The effectiveness of immunization of mice, rabbits and cotton-top tamarins with small amounts of EB [Epstein-Barr] virus membrane antigen glycoprotein gp340, incorporated into artificial liposomes, was compared using various routes of injection with or without additional adjuvants. Liposomes containing gp340 gave specific high titer antibodies after i.p. or i.v. administration; the addition of lipid A to the liposomes resulted in a significant enhancement of the response. Antibodies generated by the above procedure were virus neutralizing and bound gp340 specifically. These findings indicate an advantageous approach for use with a prototype vaccine for the prevention of EB virus infection.
