Abstract

We have evaluated the DNA vaccination strategy for measles virus (MV) hemagglutinin (HA) and nucleoprotein (NP) genes. Plasmids encoding either the MV, HA, or NP proteins inoculated intramuscularly into Balb/c mice induced both humoral and CTL class I restricted responses. Antibody responses were not increased by multiple inoculations. The major antibody isotype induced by both the HA and NP was IgG2a consistent with a Th1 response. In contrast, immunization with a plasmid which directed the synthesis of a partially secreted form of HA gave mainly IgG1 antibodies. When the amount of DNA was reduced for the HA plasmid (1 or 10 microg/animal), although the antibody was not induced, a CTL response was observed.
