红外期是疟原虫侵入宿主的第一个时期,有效的红外期疟疾疫苗对控制疟疾的发病和流行具有重要的作用。目前研究中的红外期疟疾疫苗主要有亚单位疫苗和全虫疫苗两种,其中后者包括了放射减毒子孢子疫苗和基因减毒子孢子疫苗。全虫疫苗虽然能够诱导完全性的免疫保护作用,但是其生产及运输方式却限制了它的现场应用。目前的亚单位疫苗不能达到让人满意的保护效应,有效亚单位疫苗的研制还需要对相关的机制做进一步深入的研究。本文仅就目前这些疫苗的研究进展作一综述。
Pre-erythrocytic stage is the first stage which Plasmodium to invaded a human host,effective malaria vaccine for pre-erythrocytic stage has important significance to control the morbidity and the prevalence of the malaria.The present study of malaria vaccines for pre-erythrocytic stage include subunit vaccines and whole-cell vaccines,the latter is also included irradiation-attenuated sporozoites and genetically attenuated sporozoites.Although whole-cell vaccines induce complete and long-lasting protection,the difficulties to produce and transport have limited its clinical application.The current subunit vaccines are still not achieve satisfactory protective effect,and the relevant mechanisms need further in-depth study.Here,we do a review on the development of these vaccines.
