Abstract

This study aimed to develop surface modified PLGA nanocarriers protecting protein-based antigen in the stomach to enable potential release of antigen at target intestinal sites. PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by double emulsion and solvent evaporation techniques while surface functionalization was performed using polyethylene glycol (PEG), sodium alginate (ALG) and Eudragit L100 (EUD) with ovalbumin (OVA) as model protein antigen. Nanoparticles were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and stability in simulated gastric fluid (SGF)/simulated intestinal fluid (SIF). Structural integrity of released OVA was analyzed by circular dichroism (CD) and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), while cytotoxicity against Jurkat cells was determined using MTT assay. Surface functionalized PLGA NPs protected the protein in SGF and SIF better than the non-functionalized NPs. Average size of OVA encapsulated NPs was between 235-326 nm and were spherical. FTIR band change was observed after surface modification and showed sustained OVA release compared with the uncoated NPs. The secondary structure of OVA released after 96 hrs remained intact and MTT assay showed >80 % cell viability after 72 hrs while unmodified and surface modified NPs achieved 17 % and 48 % mucin binding respectively. In conclusion, surface modified PLGA NPs have been shown to be safe for potential oral protein-based vaccine delivery.
