AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a composition that includes a recombinant protein called flagellin, which is found in Vibrio vulnificus flagella. This protein is fused with a pathogenic protein antigen. The composition has the benefits of preventing, improving, or treating aging, metabolic disease, hair-related disease, eye disease, bowel disease, or bone disease by improving external and internal malfunctions and enhancing immunity. Additionally, the composition can be easily administered through mucosal administration for immunization.

Problems solved by technology

Humans are facing various problems not seen before due to the advent of an aging society caused by a prolonged average life span.
However, the regulation of a particular gene referring to the results shown in lower animal models may cause other functional side effects, and thus has a limitation in the application to humans.

Changes in Feed Intake and Body Weight in Aged Mice Immunized with Flagellin-PspA Recombinant Protein

[0082]While the aged mice were intranasally immunized eight times at two-week intervals, the body weight and the feed intake of the mice of each group were measured. The non-immunized aged mice were used as a control group.

[0083]The aged mice were intranasally immunized eight times with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), prepared 2.5 μg of PspA, and 6.5 μg of FlaB-PspA recombinant protein at two-week intervals. The body weight and the feed intake of the mice of each group were measured every week. The measurement results are shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b.

[0084]As a result of body weight measurement, it was verified that the non-immunized mouse group, the group immunized with PBS, the group immunized with PspA alone, and the group immunized with FlaB-PspA recombinant protein showed no change in body weight due to the immunization (FIG. 2a).

[0085]As a result of comparing the feed intake of t...

Observation of Morphological Changes of Mice Through Continuous Immunization with Antigen

[0087]While the aged mice were intranasally immunized eight times at two-week intervals, the morphological changes of the mice according to the immunization were monitored every week. The results are shown in FIG. 3. The non-immunized aged mice were used as a control group.

[0088]The aged mice prior to the immunization had no abnormal findings by appearances. There were no abnormal findings in view of hair condition, hair luster, hair decoloration, hair loss, the anus (colitis or hernia), or the eyes (cataracts).

[0089]However, as a result of observing the aged mice following the immunization, it was verified that the non-immunized aged mouse group had a worse hair condition than the group immunized eight times at two-week intervals, and the appearances became generally worse, such as a severe progression of hair decoloration or hair loss. Besides, normal findings, such as hernia, were severely sh...

Change in IgA Reaction of Aged Mice Through Continuous Immunization with Antigen

[0092]During the continuous immunization, the feces were collected from the mice of each group after each immunization to verify the IgA reaction of the aged mice according to the immunization by ELISA. The results are shown in FIG. 4. The non-immunized aged mice were used as a control group.

[0093]The non-immunized aged mice had no great difference in the IgA response during the immunization (O-control). It was verified that the group immunized with PBS alone showed no great difference in the IgA response, and then showed a slight increase in the IgA response after the sixth immunization, but there is no great increase in the IgA response (O-PBS). The group treated with PspA alone showed the IgA response after the fourth immunization, but showed no great difference after that (O-PspA). Whereas, as for the group immunized with FlaB-PspA recombinant protein, the IgA response was significantly increased dep...
