OBJECTIVE: To preliminarily evaluate the immunity and safety of the recombinant adenoviruses expressing rotavirus structural proteins VP7 and VP6 in rhesus monkeys to lay a foundation for the development of novel genetic engineering vaccine against rotavirus. METHODS: Baby monkeys were immunized with the recombinant adenoviruses intranasally or orally. Serum IgG against rotavirus was measured with ELISA. During the course of the immunization, besides the daily monitoring of body temperature, weight and clinical symptoms, the routine blood and urine tests and liver and kidney function tests were also conducted. RESULTS: Monkeys immunized via intranasal or oral routes could both generate serum IgG against rotavirus. During the immunization, the temperature of monkeys was normal and body weight raise stably. Both routine blood and urine tests and liver and kidney function tests showed no significant alteration compared with the control group. CONCLUSION: The immunization with the recombinant adenoviruses expressing rotavirus antigens is able to induce rotavirus specific efficient immune responses and is safe to baby rhesus monkeys. The preliminary results implied that the recombinant adenoviruses could be an ideal vaccine for rotavirus and lay a foundation for further studies.

The development and widespread use of genetically altered mice to study the role of various proteins in biological control systems have led to a renewed interest in methodologies and approaches for evaluating physiological phenotypes. As a result, cross-disciplinary approaches have become essential for fully realizing the potential of these new and powerful animal models. The combination of classical physiological approaches and modern innovative technology has given rise to an impressive arsenal for evaluating the functional results of genetic manipulation in the mouse. This review attempts to summarize some of the techniques currently being used for measuring cardiovascular, renal, and pulmonary variables in the intact mouse, with specific attention to practical considerations useful for their successful implementation.
