Furunculosis caused by Aeromonas salmonicida in turbot farming is increasingly leading to huge economic losses. In this study, an inactivated vaccine containing a compound adjuvant of ginseng stem leaf saponins and aluminum hydroxide gel (GSLS/Alum) was developed against A. salmonicida and evaluated on turbot. As a result, serum antibody titer in vaccinated group was significantly higher than that in control group and the relative percentage survival (RPS) was up to 75.7%. Comparatively, the RPS of groups that vaccinated with only inactivated vaccine and vaccine containing Alum adjuvant or an oil emulsion Montanide™ ISA 763A were 32.4%, 48.6% and 64.9%, respectively. Although the vaccine containing oil adjuvant elicited comparable IgM level as that containing the compound GSLS/Alum adjuvant, the latter had no obvious side effects. Moreover, the inactivated vaccine containing the compound adjuvant was more likely to induce a higher cellular immune response according to the expressions of some immune related genes. Most importantly, an excellent protection of the vaccine containing GSLS/Alum adjuvant was obtained when turbots were naturally infected under clinical condition. In summary, our study demonstrated that the formulation of GSLS and Alum is a potential compound adjuvant in turbot vaccine development.
