Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder impairing memory and cognition. In this study, we describe the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of the novel recombinant 6Aβ15-TF chimeric antigen as a subunit protein vaccine for AD. Recombinant 6Aβ15-TF chimeric vaccine induced strong Aβ-specific humoral immune responses without Aβ-specific T cell immunity in C57/BL6 and 3 × Tg-AD mice at different ages. As an early immunotherapy model for AD, this vaccine induced high titers of long-lasting anti-Aβ42 antibodies in aged 3 × Tg-AD mice, which led to improve behavioral performance and markedly reduced the levels of insoluble and soluble Aβ and Aβ oligomers. In agreement with these findings, immunotherapy with 6Aβ15-TF prevented the Aβ-induced decrease of presynaptic and postsynaptic proteins in aged 3 × Tg-AD mice. Our results suggest that this novel and highly immunogenic recombinant 6Aβ15-TF chimeric vaccine provides neuroprotection in AD mice and can be considered an effective AD candidate vaccine.
