Abstract

Source: Zeng, X. et al., Evaluating the Immune Response of a Nanoemulsion Adjuvant Vaccine Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Infection. J. Vis. Exp. (2023)

This video demonstrates a method for assessing the antibody immune response to a novel nanoemulsion adjuvant vaccine in pre-immunized mice. Immunization enhances antibody response as confirmed by determining the IgG antibody titers.

Protocol

All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Preparation of the MRSA HI antigen protein Obtain Fe ion surface determining factor B (IsdB) and α-hemolysin mutant (Hla) clones from commercial sources (see Table of Materials), perform polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification to amplify Isd…
