Sublinguale Verabreichung von therapeutischen Mitteln ist ein nützliches Mittel, um die Immunreaktion in den Atemtrakt modulieren bewährt. Der Hauptvorteil der Schlitz zur Behandlung von Erkrankungen der Atemwege ist, dass es keine direkte Bereitstellung von Verbindungen in die Lungen oder die Nasenlöcher, wobei sicherer als Behandlungen auf die intranasale Verabreichung 31. Sublinguale Immuntherapie verwendet werden, um die Immunantwort auf unterschiedliche Weise modulieren, entweder zur Induktion von regulatorischen Reaktionen, die die Symptome der allergischen Entzündung und Asthma zu lindern kann 32 oder transiente Aktivierung der angeborenen Immunmechanismen zu induzieren, um akute Lungeninfektionen zu behandeln, wie hier dargestellt. Das Maus-Modell in diesem Video dargestellt ist eine bequeme Methode zum Screening von verschiedenen Verbindungen als therapeutische Mittel zur geschnitten. Dieses Tiermodell bietet ein nützliches Mittel, um die Auswirkungen zu ermittelnder Schlitz in der Lunge Immunantwort als auch in anderen Organen (zB., Lymphknoten oder entfernten Schleimhautstellen), die nicht durch die Verwendung von in vitro-Modellen nachgeahmt werden kann. Obwohl es mehrere Arbeiten, die Ergebnisse mit sublingualen Immuntherapie gewonnen werden, detaillierte Methoden für die Verfahren der sublingualen Verabreichung haben noch nicht verfügbar gemacht worden. Zusätzlich kann das Modell für die Bewertung der sublingualen Impfstoffe Ziel, systemische als auch lokale Schutz der Atemwege übertragen werden. Wie in der begleitenden Video gezeigt, ist die sublinguale Verabreichung von Verbindungen ein einfaches Verfahren, das einfach und ohne die Notwendigkeit von umfangreichen Ausbildung durchgeführt werden kann. Typischerweise wird eine Person beherrschen Tier Handhabung erfordern 1 h bis SLIT in einer Gruppe von 10 Mäusen mit injizierbaren Anästhetika, wie in diesem Protokoll beschrieben durchzuführen. Wenn Pneumokokken Herausforderung wird ebenfalls durchgeführt, werden 90 zusätzliche Minuten zur Vorbereitung werdenDie Bakteriensuspension und führen intranasale Herausforderung der Tiere. Die hier vorgestellten FACS Protokolle ermöglichen eine bequeme Charakterisierung der Auswirkungen der SLIT am lokalen Standort der Verwaltung, Lymphknoten sowie deren Auswirkungen auf die Zelldynamik der Lunge. Separate Analyse der bronchoalveolären Inhalt und Lungenparenchym ist wichtig, um die Atemwege &quot;Immun Wohnsitz und Infiltrieren Zelltypen von denen, die im Gewebe bleiben diskriminieren. Analyse der BAL Inhalt ermöglicht die Untersuchung von Alveolarmakrophagen Umsatz sowie die Dynamik von Zellen Rekrutierung in die Alveolen durch verschiedene Behandlungen induziert, zB., PMN, Eosinophile, Monozyten. BAL kann auch verwendet werden, um die Anwesenheit von sezernierten Zytokine und Chemokine durch Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) oder den Nachweis von IgA-Antikörper sekretiert nach sublingualer Impfung ausgelöste bewerten. Untersuchung der Lunge Gewebewird Charakterisierung von anderen Zelltypen, klassisch dendritischen Zellen, T-Zellen und B-Zellen zu ermöglichen. Vorbereitung der BAL-Proben und Lymphknoten für FACS-Analyse ist einfach. Nach der Probenahme werden in der Regel 60 Minuten benötigt, um den Färbungsprotokoll für 10-20 Proben abzuschließen. Im Gegensatz dazu wird die Isolation von Zellen aus Lungen oder sublingual Gewebe mehr Zeit erfordern, da die Verdauung der extrazellulären Matrix ist nicht erforderlich. Absorption des therapeutischen Mittels durch sublinguale geliefert durch Verfolgung von fluoreszierend oder radioaktiv markierte Moleküle mit in vivo-Bildgebungssysteme behandelt werden. Sublinguale Immuntherapie ist eine attraktive Methode effektiv induzieren Immunreaktionen in den Atemwegen als auch systemisch verwendet werden können, zu behandeln oder zu verhindern Atemwegserkrankungen. Aufklärung der Mechanismen, die die Aktivierung vs Toleranz der Immunreaktion in den Atemtrakt nach SLIT is entscheidend für das rationale Design von neuen therapeutischen Strategien, die allein oder in Kombination mit verfügbaren Behandlungen gegen verschiedene Erkrankungen der Atemwege verwendet werden könnte, zu ermöglichen.

The overall goal of this work is to illustrate the benefits of sublingual immunotherapy for the treatment of acute respiratory infections (ARI) and present the advantages of this delivery route compared to other routes of administration, namely intranasal.
ARI cause millions of deaths every year especially in children under five. Streptococcus pneumoniae remains as one of the major etiological agents of bacterial pneumonia in infants and the elderly1,2. To present, the main available treatment relies on the use of antibiotics but resistant strains are continuously arising3,4.
SLIT induces broad responses at systemic and also mucosal level, particularly at the respiratory tract5. It has proven effectiveness against influenza infection, promoting long term protection with production of humoral and cellular responses6,7. Besides, it has been shown that prophylactic treatment with bacterial lysates delivered by sublingual route reduced exacerbations of chronic obstructive bronchitis in the elderly8 and prevented recurrent respiratory infections in children9. SLIT has been widely used for the treatment of allergies and asthma. Clinical studies had not only demonstrated its efficacy to modulate the immune response in the respiratory tract but also its safety10. Despite the growing interest of pharmaceutical companies and researchers in SLIT, the mechanisms involved in the induction of mucosal immune responses after sublingual delivery of compounds remain obscure. Recently, attention has been focused on the mechanisms promoting tolerance associated with allergen desensitization. It has been proposed that resident and recruited cells at the sublingual mucosa, like dendritic cells and macrophages, can promote tolerance after SLIT11-13. Dendritic cells of the oral mucosa can promote IFN-gamma and IL-10 producing T helper cells11 as well as recirculate to the distal genital mucosa and promote CD8+ T cells14. However, little is known about the impact of SLIT on innate cells or its capacity to improve pathogen clearance during acute respiratory infections.
The natural control of pneumococcal infection in the lungs greatly depends on the efficient and swift activation of local innate defences. We previously showed that enhancement of lungs&#8217; innate immunity by a single intranasal dose of flagellin (FliC), a TLR5 and NLRC4 agonist, protects 75-100% of mice challenged with a lethal dose of a clinical isolate of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 1. This protection was shown to be dependent on local recruitment of GR1+ cells (likely polymorphonuclear neutrophils, PMNs) and not dependent on antibodies, B or T cells15. 
Flagellin is the structural component of the bacterial flagellum. In its monomeric form it is recognized by two Pathogen Recognition Receptors (PRRs), TLR5 that senses extracellular FliC16 and NLRC4/NAIP5 inflammasome that detects intracellular flagellin17,18. When FliC is sensed by the PRRs an important inflammatory response is triggered. We and others have demonstrated that instillation of purified FliC from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium into the lungs drives swift production of chemokines and cytokines specially when recognized by the lungs&#8217; epithelium that in turn orchestrate the recruitment of immune cells into the airways, mainly PMNs15,19-21. Although transient, the substantial neutrophil infiltration that takes place into the airways after nasal delivery of FliC could be a concern if moving towards clinical therapies for human use. Excessive inflammation could be detrimental for the lungs&#8217; function. Moreover, it has been shown that intranasal delivery of immunostimulatory molecules may cause facial paralysis and/or brain toxicity22-24. 
Sublingual immunotherapy offers a safer alternative to modulate the immune response in the respiratory tract compared to the intranasal route. It is non-invasive, painless, simple and has good patient compliance25. Furthermore, as mentioned before, it can induce protective responses in the respiratory mucosa without the risks associated to direct intranasal or intrapulmonary delivery of formulations. Sublingual route could be alternatively used to deliver molecules that have great effects onto the lung&#8217;s immune system but that have been proven to be toxic or to elicit great inflammation when administered intranasally. Besides these advantages, formulations for sublingual immunotherapy have lower cost of manufacture since non-sterile products can be delivered by this route and endotoxic shock is not a concern for SLIT. On the other hand, it is worth noticing that higher doses of the immunostimulatory compounds compared to those used by intranasal or parenteral routes are necessary to induce an immune response in the lungs; also highly concentrated solutions are needed when using the mouse model of SLIT since the anatomical site where the formulations are deposited is small. 
Based on our previous published data, we developed a model of protection using sublingual immunotherapy with flagellin as model immunostimulant. We demonstrated that a single dose of flagellin induced 60% survival against invasive pneumococcal pneumonia caused by the serotype 1 strain while all mice in the control group died of infection within 5 days. Flow cytometry analysis showed that higher numbers of PMN are recruited into the airways of protected animals after sublingual treatment with flagellin suggesting that these cells might be involved in the mechanism of protection induced by sublingual immunotherapy. 
This video shows in detail how to perform sublingual immunotherapy and also how to recover relevant tissue from the sublingual mucosa, draining lymph nodes as well as lungs and airways to perform further analysis. Additionally, it illustrates the general technique of cell preparation for FACS analysis and briefly shows how to prepare Streptococcus pneumoniae suspensions and how to perform intranasal infections in mouse to set up the acute infection model.

sublingual immunotherapy as an alternative to induce protection against acute respiratory infections

Sublingual route has been widely used to deliver small molecules into the bloodstream and to modulate the immune response at different sites. It has been shown to effectively induce humoral and cellular responses at systemic and mucosal sites, namely the lungs and urogenital tract. Sublingual vaccination can promote protection against infections at the lower and upper respiratory tract; it can also promote tolerance to allergens and ameliorate asthma symptoms. Modulation of lung&#8217;s immune response by sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is safer than direct administration of formulations by intranasal route because it does not require delivery of potentially harmful molecules directly into the airways. In contrast to intranasal delivery, side effects involving brain toxicity or facial paralysis are not promoted by SLIT. The immune mechanisms underlying SLIT remain elusive and its use for the treatment of acute lung infections has not yet been explored. Thus, development of appropriate animal models of SLIT is needed to further explore its potential advantages. 
This work shows how to perform sublingual administration of therapeutic agents in mice to evaluate their ability to protect against acute pneumococcal pneumonia. Technical aspects of mouse handling during sublingual inoculation, precise identification of sublingual mucosa, draining lymph nodes and isolation of tissues, bronchoalveolar lavage and lungs are illustrated. Protocols for single cell suspension preparation for FACS analysis are described in detail. Other downstream applications for the analysis of the immune response are discussed. Technical aspects of the preparation of Streptococcus pneumoniae inoculum and intranasal challenge of mice are also explained.
SLIT is a simple technique that allows screening of candidate molecules to modulate lungs&#8217; immune response. Parameters affecting the success of SLIT are related to molecular size, susceptibility to degradation and stability of highly concentrated formulations.

Sublinguale Immuntherapie erfolgreich zur Lunge Immunantwort zu modulieren. Wir haben gezeigt, dass eine Einzeldosis von Flagellin, das TLR5 und NLRC4 Agonist kann eine signifikante Hochregulation der mRNA induzieren die Chemokine CXCL1, CCL20 und das Zytokin IL-6 im Vergleich zu Kochsalzlösung behandelten Kontrollen kodiert. Fach Induktion der mRNA-Spiegel erreichte bei 8 h nach SLIT und zurück zum Basisspiegel nach 20 h (Abbildung 1). Allerdings, wenn SLIT wurde 2 Stunden vor intranasale Infektion mit S. Pneumoniae durchgeführt, Ebenen und IL-6 mRNA CXCL1 blieb deutlich sogar 24 Stunden nach der SLIT hochreguliert im Vergleich zu nicht behandelten Tieren (Abbildung 2).
