Purpose. The aim of this study was to prepare a novel vaccine carrier particulate system (nanoparticles and emulsions) with chitosan and to evaluate the effect of this system on the immune response for intranasal delivery.Methods. Chitosan nanoparticles (NP) and chitosan-coated emulsions (CC-Emul) were prepared by improvement of the method previously reported and by modified ethanol injection methods, respectively. The rats were immunized with the particles adsorbed with ovalbumin ( OVA) and cholera toxin (CT) by intranasal (i.n.) and intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration.Results. NP and CC-Emul could be prepared with particle diameter from about 0.4 mum to 3 mum. IgG induced by i.n. of NP was comparable with that by i.p., and IgA induced by i.n. of 0.4-mum- and 1-mum-size NP was significantly higher than control ( OVA and CT). IgG and IgA induced by i.n. of 2-mum-size CC-Emul were significantly higher than those with control.Conclusions. The novel chitosan particles used simple preparation methods showed high OVA adsorption. When administered intranasally, NP and CC-Emul induced systemic immune response in rats. These findings suggested that CC-Emul and the smaller-size (0.4 mum) NP are effective for targeting to nasal-associated lymphoid tissues (NALTs) in nasal vaccine delivery.
