Triple-TLR agonists' adjuvanted inactivated Newcastle disease virus vaccine promotes effective Th1/Th2 immune responses and affords protective efficacy in chickens
Combinations of Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists are being explored to alleviate systemic toxicity and achieve long-lasting desirable immune responses. In this study, we investigated the use of a triple-TLR agonists' combination (LPS, TLR4; R-848, TLR7 and CpG-ODN, TLR21) as an adjuvant with the inactivated Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccine in chickens. We assessed the immune response kinetics by stimulating chicken peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with the triple agonist combination and analyzing immune-related gene expression using quantitative PCR. Additionally, transcriptomic analysis was performed in spleen samples from birds injected with the triple TLR agonists. In the immunization study, birds were vaccinated with an inactivated NDV vaccine alone or in combination with different TLR agonist mixtures (single, dual, or triple), followed by assessment of both humoral and cellular immune responses and protection against challenge. Results from immune response study showed significant upregulation of IL-1β, IFN-γ, IL-4, IFN-β, iNOS and MHC-II transcripts, indicating the pro-inflammatory, anti-viral and mixed Th1/Th2 responses in triple TLR agonists' combination. Transcriptomic analysis revealed significant upregulation of 19 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to immune function in triple-TLR agonists signaling pathway such as pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral response. Furthermore, the immunization study demonstrated that the triple-TLR agonist combination, at a low dose exhibited no toxicity and significantly enhanced both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, leading to higher antibody titres, increased T cell activation, and complete protection against a virulent NDV challenge. These findings suggest that the triple-TLR agonists' combination could improve vaccine efficacy and provide a cost-effective approach for vaccine formulations.
