Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major infectious disease worldwide despite chemotherapy and BCG vaccine. The efficacy of the current TB vaccine BCG varies from 0 to 80%. New vaccines that have better protection than BCG or have the capability to boost BCG-primed immunity are urgently needed. We have previously constructed a fusion protein Ag85B-MPT64(190-198)-Mtb8.4 (AMM). In this study, we investigated the immunogenicity of the fusion protein AMM in a novel adjuvant of dimethyl-dioctyldecyl ammonium bromide and BCG polysaccharide nucleic acid (DDA-BCG PSN), and its capacity to boost BCG-primed immunity. The anti-Ag85B antibodies IgG1 and IgG2a were determined using ELISA and the number of spleen cells secreting IFN-gamma was determined by ELISPOT. In addition, the ability of the subunit vaccine AMM to boost BCG-primed immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis was analyzed. The fusion protein AMM induced more effective humoral and cell-mediated immune responses in mice than Ag85B alone. Mice primed with BCG vaccination followed by boosting with AMM produced a stronger immune response and afforded a better protection against M. tuberculosis infection than mice immunized with BCG alone or BCG priming followed by boosting with Ag85B. These findings suggest that AMM is a promising candidate subunit vaccine to enhance the protective efficiency of BCG.
