Inactivated H9N2 influenza vaccines required adjuvants to induce strong immune responses to protect poultry from the infections of H9N2 influenza viruses. Recently, positively charged nanoparticles-based adjuvant delivery systems have been extensively investigated as the novel vaccine adjuvant due to the protection antigens and drugs from degradation, promoting antigens and drugs uptake by antigen presenting cells (APCs), and inducing strong humoral and cellular immune responses. In this study, the immunostimulant Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP) was encapsulated into Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) PLGA nanoparticles, and the Polyethylenimine (PEI) was coated on the nanoparticles to develop a novel adjuvant (ASP-PLGA-PEI). To further investigate the adjuvant activities of ASP-PLGA-PEI nanoparticles for H9N2 vaccines in chickens and compare the adjuvant activities of nanoparticles adjuvant and conventional adjuvants (Alum and oil-based adjuvant), the H9N2 antigen was incubated with three different adjuvants and then immunized with chickens to evaluate the ability of inducing humoral and cellular immune responses. The results revealed that compared to Alum adjuvant, ASP-PLGA-PEI nanoparticles adjuvant stimulated higher antibody responses, promoted the activation of CD4(+) T cells and CD8(+) T cells, increased the expression of Th1 cytokines IFN-gamma. Compared to oil-based adjuvant (ISA-206), ASP-PLGA-PEI nanoparticles adjuvant induced comparable antibody immune responses at later period after immunization, improved the activation of CD4(+) T cells and CD8(+) T cells. Therefore, compared to Alum and oil-based adjuvant, the ASP-PLGA-PEI nanoparticles serve as an efficient adjuvant for H9N2 vaccine and have the potential to induce vigorous humoral and cellular immune responses in chickens.
