Methods mDouble antibody sandwich SABC-ELISA system for mouse IFNγ was developed and verified for linearity, sensitivity, reproducibility and specificity. BALB/c mice were randomly divided into seven groups, 6 for each, and immunized s.c. with E1C0 + monophosphoryl lipid A(MPL)+ dimethyl dioctadecylammonium bromide(DDA), E1C0 + DDA, E1C0 + MPL, E1C0 + IFA, E1C0, physiological saline and MPL + DDA for 3 times, respectively, each at an interval of 2 weeks. The dosages of E1C0, MPL, DDA and IFA for immunization were 100 μg, 25μg, 250μg and 100 μl, respectively. The mice were killed 4 weeks after the last immunization, and their spleens were collected aseptically, from which splenic lymphocytes were isolated, cultured with E1C0, then determined for proliferation level by MTT method, and for IFNlevel in culture supernatant by ELISA. Three batches of BALB/c mice were immunized with the screened adjuvant combined with antigen, and determined for IFNγ induced. Results The linear range, sensitivity and CV value of developed SABC-ELISA system were 40 ~ 2 560 pg / ml(R > 0. 98), 40 μg/ml and less than 15%respectively, by which all the detection results of IFN酌in rat, guinea pig and rabbit sera were negative. The stimulating indexox(SIs) of specific lymphocyte proliferation in E1C0 + MPL + DDA, E1C0 + IFA and E1C0 + DDA groups were significantly higher than those in physiological saline group (P < 0. 01). The IFN酌level secreted by lymphocytes in E1C0 + MPL + DDA group after stimulation with E1C0 in vitro was significantly higher than those in other groups (P < 0. 001). No significant differences were observed in IFNγ levels induced in 3 batches of mice in E1C0 + MPL + DDA group(P > 0. 05). Conclusion The immunization with E1C0 in a combination with MPL and DDA elicited a strong Th1 cellular immune response in mice. Mouse model for evaluation of activity of E1C0 antigen was successfully established
