    【Abstract】 AIM: To evaluate humoral and cellmediated immune responses by MPT64 and ESAT6 fusion proteins and to test protective efficacy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) challenge. METHODS: BALB/c mice were immunized 3 times at 2week interval subcutaneously on the back with fusion protein MPT64ESAT6. In the spleen lymphocytes of immunized mice stimulation index (SI) was measured by MTT method and the level of secreted IFNγ was detected by ELISA. Some of vaccinated BALB/c mice by fusion proteins were intravenously infected with 1×105 CFU MTB strain H37Rv. Four weeks later,bacterial load in spleens was determined. RESULTS: The titer of sera specific antibody in BALB/c mice immunized with fusion expression protein MPT64ESAT6 was 1∶1500. The SI of lymphocytes in fusion protein immunized group was 2.23, significantly higher than that of saline immunized group (0.88). The IFNγ level in culture supernatant of spleen lymphocytes from the mice immunized with fusion proteins were (4.28±0.27) μg/L, significantly higher than that of saline immunized group [(0.48±0.17) μg/L, P<0.05], but lower than that of Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) immunized group [(5.18±0.31) μg/L]. Compared with saline immunized mice(bacterial load was 6.45±0.17), dramatic reductions were observed for MTB replication in the spleen from BALB/c mice immunized with fusion proteins (bacteria load was 5.04±0.11) following a subsequent challenge, but the protective efficacy in mice immunized with MPT64ESAT6 was not as good as that of BCG immunized group (bacterial load was 4.38±0.22). CONCLUSION: MPT64 and ESAT6 fusion proteins could be used as a novel component of the new TB vaccine. ......
