The immunogenicity of a vaccine formulation is closely related to the effective internalization by the innate immune cells that provide prolonged and simultaneous delivery of antigen and adjuvant to relevant antigen presenting cells. Endosome associated TLR9 recognizes microbial unmethylated CpG DNA. Clinical applications of TLR9 ligands are significantly hampered due to their pre-mature in vivo digestion and rapid clearance. Liposome encapsulation is a powerful tool to increase in vivo stability as well as enhancing internalization of its cargo to relevant immune cells. The present study established that encapsulating CpG motifs in different liposomes having different physicochemical properties altered not only encapsulation efficiency, but also the release and delivery rates that ultimately impacted in vitro and ex-vivo cytokine production rates and types. Moreover, different liposomes encapsulating CpG ODN significantly increased Th1-biased cytokines and chemokines gene transcripts Additional studies demonstrated that co-stimulatory and surface marker molecules significantly upregulated upon liposome/CpG injection. Finally, co-encapsulating model antigen ovalbumin with CpG ODN adjuvant in nanoliposomes profoundly augmented Th1 and cell mediated anti-Ova specific immune response. Collectively, this work established an unappreciated immunoregulatory property of nanoliposomes mediating immunity against protein antigen and could be harnessed to design more effective therapeutic vaccines or stand alone immunoprotective agents targeting infectious diseases, as well as cancer or allergy.

CpG DNA: recognition by and activation of monocytes. Klinman, DM; Takeshita, F; Gursel, I; Leifer, C; Ishii, KJ; Verthelyi, D; Gürsel, Mayda (2002-07-01) Unmethylated CpG motifs present in bacterial DNA rapidly trigger an innate immune response characterized by the activation of Ig- and cytokine-secreting cells. Synthetic oligonucleotides (ODNs) containing CpG motifs mimic this activity, triggering monocytes to proliferate, secrete and/or differentiate. Analysis of hundreds of novel ODNs led to the identification of two structurally distinct classes of CpG motif that differentially activate human monocytes. ODNs of the "K"-type interact with Toll-like recept...
Liposomes as immunological adjuvants and vaccine carriers Gregoriadis, G; Gursel, I; Gürsel, Mayda; McCormack, B (1996-08-01) Work by numerous laboratories in the last two decades has shown that liposomes promote humoral and cell-mediated immunity to a large variety of bacterial, protozoan, viral and tumour cell antigens. This immunoadjuvant action of liposomes depends on their structural characteristics which control vesicle fate in vivo including the mode of antigen interaction with antigen-presenting cells. Liposomal adjuvanticity is further promoted by receptor mediated targeting to macrophages or the presence of co-adjuvants ...
Differential activation of immune cells by commensal versus pathogen-derived bacterial RNA Özcan, Mine; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2014) Immunological mechanisms contributing to distinguishing signals derived from commensal versus pathogenic bacteria is an active area of research and recent evidence suggests that commensal and pathogens may express different variants of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMP). In this thesis, we propose that as a major member of PAMP, bacterial RNAs derived from commensal and pathogens may have distinct immunostimulatory activities due to differentially recognition by the host immune system. In order t...
Immunomodulatory effects of commensal bacteria-derived membrane vesicles Alpdündar, Esin; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2013) Constitutive secretion of extracellular membrane vesicles is a common feature of cells from all domains of life including Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Although the contribution of gram negative bacterial outer membrane vesicles in disease pathogenesis has been extensively studied, whether commensal bacteria constitutively secrete such vesicles is still unknown. Given the importance of microbiota as regulators of immune homeostasis, we aimed to assess the immunomodulatory properties of extracellular vesic...
Differential activation of immune cells by commensal versus pathogen-derived bacterial DNA Günalp, Sinem; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2015) Immunological mechanisms making contribution to discriminating signals obtained from commensal versus pathogenic bacteria is an active area of research and recent evidence proposes that commensals and pathogens might express discrete variants of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMP). We hypothesized that as a major member of PAMP, bacterial DNA (bacDNA) originating from commensals versus pathogens might possess distinct immunostimulatory activities, enabling their dis- crimination by the immune syst...
