    La leptospirosis es una de las zoonosis bacterianas m谩s difundidas en el mundo. En la actualidad existen registradas varias vacunas de c茅lulas enteras contra Leptospira. Estos productos biofarmac茅uticos cuentan entre sus desventajas las reacciones de hipersensibilidad a los componentes de las formulaciones y la alta frecuencia de toxicidad en el sitio de inoculaci贸n. En el presente trabajo fue evaluada la tolerancia local en el punto de inoculaci贸n generada por una nueva formulaci贸n vacunal proteolipos贸mica contra Leptospira spp. en el biomodelo el Mesocricetus auratus. Para ello los animales (ambos sexos) fueron inoculados dos veces por v铆a intramuscular, con 21 d铆as entre la primera y la segunda inoculaci贸n. Seguidamente se realizaron eutanasias seriadas a los 3 d铆as y luego semanalmente hasta 49 d铆as de la primera inoculaci贸n. Los resultados demostraron la ausencia de muertes y de diferencias estad铆sticas en las variables: peso corporal, consumo de agua y alimentos entre animales inmunizados y controles negativos. Tampoco se detectaron lesiones macrosc贸picas en 贸rganos y tejidos de importancia toxicol贸gica en los animales inmunizados con el candidato vacunal. Las lesiones locales encontradas obedecen a la respuesta inmunol贸gica generada por esta nueva formulaci贸n vacunal. La relevancia inmunol贸gica del biomodelo se comprob贸 mediante la determinaci贸n de anticuerpos IgG en el grupo de animales vacunados. En funci贸n de los resultados obtenidos se concluye que el candidato vacunal evaluado no fue potencialmente t贸xico al sitio de inoculaci贸n al ser administrado por v铆a intramuscular en el biomodelo Mesocricetus auratus.聽AbstractLeptospirosis is the bacterial zoonosis more overspread in the world. As a control measure some whole cell vaccines has been developed and registered. These biopharmaceutical products have as principal disadvantages the absence of cross-protection against serovars not included on formulations and reactogenicity at inoculation site. In this paper it is discussed the local toxicity at inoculation site elicited by a proteoliposome聽vaccine candidate obtained form outer membrane cell wall of Leptospira spp using the Mesocricetus auratus as biomodel. The experimental animals (both sexes) were inoculated with two doses of vaccine candidate (21 days between them) via intramuscular. The results obtained did not show statistical differences among immunized and animal controls for the variables: corporal weight, water and food intake. Neither macroscopic lesions of toxicological importance were observed. The histopathological findings describes are part of immunological response consequence against vaccine candidate. Besides the immunological relevance of the biomodel was check by means of IgG quantification. Agreement with these results, it can conclude that a single dose of the vaccine candidate immunized via intramuscular in Mesocricetus auratus did not show toxic potential at inoculation site

    A hamster model was used to determine the protector capacity of vax-SPIRAL® against the lethal infection after challenge with 10,000 LD50 of four strains isolated of a leptospirosis outbreaks in Nicaragua. These strains were selected from a primary group of 16 belonging to the serogroups strains Ballum, Icterohemorragiae, Pomona, Serjoe and Pyrogenes. Most of these, except Pyrogenes serogroup, reproduced the infection in animal model and the most virulent representatives of each serogroup were selected for the challenge. The results of this study suggest that vax-SPIRAL® conferred high percents of heterologous protection which aimed to consider it as a prophylactic measure useful in situations of floods and natural disasters in Nicaragua.
