Résumé 0

Vaccination by aerosol inhalation can be used to efficiently deliver antigen against HPV to mucosal tissue, which is particularly useful in developing countries (simplicity of administration, costs, no need for cold chain). For optimal immunological response, vaccine particles should preferentially be delivered to proximal bronchial airways. We aimed at quantifying the deposition of inhaled particles in central airways and peripheral lung, and to assess administration biosafety. Participants, methods: 20 healthy volunteers (13W/7M, aged 24±4y) performed a 10-min free-breathing inhalation of (99m)Tc-stannous chloride colloid aerosol (450 MBq) in a buffer solution without vaccinal particles using an ultrasonic nebulizer (mass median aerodynamic diameter 4.2 μm) and a double mask inside a biosafety cabinet dedicated to assess environmental particle release. SPECT/CT and whole-body planar scintigraphy were acquired to determine whole-body and regional C/P distribution ratio (central-to-peripheral pulmonary deposition counts). Using a phantom, SPECT sensitivity was calibrated to obtain absolute pulmonary activity deposited by inhalation. All participants successfully performed the inhalation that was well tolerated (no change in pulmonary peak expiratory flow rate, p = 0.9). It was environmentally safe (no activity released in the biosafety filter.) 1.3±0.6% (range 0.4-2.6%) of the total nebulizer activity was deposited in the lungs with a C/P distribution ratio of 0.40±0.20 (range 0.15-1.14). Quantification and regional distribution of inhaled particles in an aerosolized vaccine model is possible using radioactive particles. This will allow optimizing deposition parameters and determining the particles charge for active-particles vaccination.
