Mouse Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0003057
  • Efficacy: During the 25- week period of monitoring, the GAD65-plasmid DNA vaccination effectively prevented IDDM in young female NOD mice (1/13; 8% incidence). We also immunized mice with GM-CSF encoding GAD65 bicistronic vector (since it is known to recruit antigen-presenting cells, inducing a stronger immune response). However, GAD65–GM-CSF-plasmid DNA immunization (1/8; 12.5% incidence) did not alter the incidence of diabetes (P = 0.6477 vs GAD65-plasmid DNA). Female NOD mice in the control group readily became diabetic beginning at 17 weeks of age (3/12; 25% incidence) and reached a 75% incidence (9/12) at 23 weeks of age (P = 0.001 vs GAD65-plasmid DNA; P = 0.006 vs GAD65– GM-CSF-plasmid DNA) (Balasa et al., 2001).

Mouse Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0003057
  • Efficacy: Data revealed that the only mice showing a significant decrease in diabetes onset were those receiving plasmid pND2-SGAD55-BAX (47% diabetic) compared to mice receiving plasmid pND2-GAD65 (93% diabetic), pND2-GAD65-BAX (87% diabetic), and untreated mice (93% diabetic). Insulitis scoring showed that the decrease in diabetes incidence observed with mice receiving plasmid pND2-SGAD55-BAX was associated with a significant decrease in islet inflammation when compared to untreated mice, and mice receiving either plasmid pND2, pND2-SRUC3, -GAD65-BAX, or -GAD65 (Li et al., 2004).

Mouse Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0003057
  • Efficacy: A Kaplan- Meier plot of diabetes onset, together with statistical analysis, indicated that mice that received injection of pND2- SGAD55 plasmid DNA had a significant reduction in diabetes compared with untreated control animals (P = 0.05; log-rank test). In contrast, mice that received pND2-GAD65 did not show significant diabetes reduction compared with the same controls (P = 0.37; log-rank test) (Filippova et al., 2001).

Mouse Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0003057
  • Efficacy: After monitoring animals up to 58 wk of age, the majority of unimmunized nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice (70%) or animals immunized with JwHEL + IL-4 (75%) or JwGAD65 (83%) had developed diabetes. In contrast, only 17% of NOD mice immunized with JwGAD65 + IL-4 developed diabetes (p = 0.03 vs unimmunized, p = 0.01 vs JwHEL + IL-4, χ2 test) (Tisch et al., 2001).
