| Sumario: | Previous studies have demonstrated that parenteral immunization with polymeric antigen BLSOmp31 induced a strong immune response and conferred protection against Brucella ovis in rams. This work describes the development of a novel formulation strategy for the delivery of BLSOmp31 in the nasal mucosa. Chitosan microparticles were prepared by spray-drying technology processes and recombinant chimera BLSOmp31 was loaded by passive adsorption onto chitosan microspheres, which were characterized by means of the evaluation of size, zeta potential, morphology, and loading and release rate of BLSOmp31. The mucoadhesive properties of microspheres were evaluated by studying the interaction between microparticles and mucin. The antigen BLSOmp31 integrity was investigated by SDS-PAGE. The yield of production of spray-drying process was 68.95%. Microspheres had a good sphericity, 1-10 μm of particle size and had a positive charge. The loading capacity was found to be 45.19%. The initial fast release of BLSOmp31 from chitosan microparticles was 60%. The BLSOmp31 integrity was not affected by passive adsorption (ionic interaction). The amount of mucin adsorbed on the surface of CMs-BLSOmp31 was lower than on the surface of blank CMs at neutral pH. In vivo studies were carried out in rams. Intranasal immunization induced systemic and local antibodies. In conclusion, the use of BLSOmp31-loaded chitosan spray-drying microspheres offers a promising way for nasal mucosal vaccination in sheep against brucellosis. |
