Immune responses to IN flu immunization are enhanced with LTA1 adjuvant. (A) Schematic of animal immunizations. Groups of C57Bl/6 mice (n = 5) were immunized intranasally with 3.6 μg HA-content Fluzone-HD (FZ) alone or with LTA1 doses as indicated. (B) Serum anti-FZ IgG1, IgG2a, IgG1/IgG2a ratio and BAL IgA ELISA results. The latter graph includes one animal in FZ + LTA1 10 μg that maxed out the assay and is approximated as highest value detectable. (C) Th1 cytokines and (D) Other cytokines/proteases (GrzB = granzyme B) from 72 h culture supernatants of FZ stimulated splenocytes from mice post-boost (day 35) (excluding outlier from FZ + LTA1 10 μg group). Significance (*) is indicated for P ≤ 0.05 for all groups compared to FZ by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-test.
