Abstract
Vaccination against brucellosis is currently carried out using attenuated strains of live brucellae, which causes serious side effects in animals and is of little use for human vaccination. In order to develop a safer vaccine against brucellosis, we created plasmid DNA capable of expressing six brucellae proteins in mammalian cells. Linear polyethyleneimine was used to increase the efficiency of DNA delivery to cells. Data on optimization of the conditions for the formation of DNA-polyethyleneimine complexes are presented. It is shown that a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection of plasmid DNA complexes with polyethyleneimine at a low dose (20 μg/mouse) has a reliable protective effect against subsequent infection of mice with a test strain of brucellae.
