利用从柱状黄杆菌(Flavobacterium columnare)、嗜水气单胞菌(Aeromonas hydrophila)和温和气单胞菌(Aeromonas sobria)中提取的外膜蛋白(outer membrane protein,OMP)作为免疫原,注射接种团头鲂(Megalobrama amblycephala)后,通过测定受免鱼的交叉凝集抗体效价、肾脏和血液中吞噬细胞的吞噬活性和采用A.hydrophila活菌攻毒方法,比较了3种致病菌OMP对团头鲂的免疫原性。试验结果表明,从3种致病菌中提取的OMP对团头鲂均具有较强的免疫原性,受免鱼的血清中存在对3种致病菌的交叉凝集抗体,与对照鱼相比,肾脏和血液中吞噬细胞对吞噬原的吞噬活性和对A.hy-drophila活菌攻毒的相对免疫保护率(relative percent survival,RPS)明显上升。说明在3种致病菌的OMP上不同程度地存在共同保护性抗原。     

Passive immunity to Pasteurella haemolytica A1 in dairy calves: effects of preparturient vaccination of the dams.

Dairy cows from five herds were assigned to receive a commercial Pasteurella haemolytica vaccine or no vaccine at all, administered at six and three weeks before parturition. Vaccination was associated with increased leukotoxin neutralizing serum antibody titers in the dams (p < 0.001), and with increased titers in colostrum (p < 0.001). Vaccination of dams also had a significant association with increased passive leukotoxin neutralizing antibody titers in their calves (p < 0.001). Vaccination was also associated with increased indirect agglutinating antibody titers in serum of the dams (p < 0.001). In the analysis of agglutinating antibody titers in colostral whey the interaction "vaccination*herd" was found to be significant (p < 0.001), indicating that the effects of vaccination on colostral titers were not consistent from herd to herd. The analysis was repeated, stratifying by herd. Vaccination was associated with increased agglutinating antibody titers in colostrum (p < 0.05) in three herds of the five in the study. In two of these three herds there were significant increases in passive neonatal titers associated with vaccination. In the remaining herd the mean IgG1 level in the calves was consistent with failure of passive transfer of immunoglobulins (IgG1 < 8.0 g/L). These results suggest that preparturient vaccination of dairy cows can induce modest increases in passive antibody titers to antigens of Pasteurella haemolytica in their calves, but the antigen of interest and the population being studied can affect the outcome.     

Bordetella rhinitis in pigs: serum and nasal antibody response to Bordetella bacterins.

The nasal and serum antibody response of two groups of pigs, vaccinated with adjuvant containing formalinized or sonicated Bordetella bronchiseptica bacterins was compared with the response of a nonvaccinated group. The tube agglutination test was used to determine agglutinin titers. Following vaccination, all pigs were challenged intranasally with the vaccine strain of Bordetella, after which the nasal Bordetella flora of vaccinated and nonvaccinated pigs was investigated. Sera and nasal secretions from both vaccinated groups exhibited markedly higher agglutinin titers than the control group and serum titers were higher than those in nasal secretions. No differences in agglutinating antibody response were evident between the two vaccines. Serum antibody titers exceeded nasal titers and persisted over a longer period of time. Systemic vaccination resulted in an increased nasal clearance of the vaccine strain by the groups of pigs vaccinated with sonicated or formalined bacterin, whereas no such clearance was evident in the nonvaccinated control group.     

Duration of immunity in foxes vaccinated orally with ERA vaccine in a bait.

Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) vaccinated orally with the ERA strain of rabies vaccine in a bait were challenged after 83 mo. Ten of 11 foxes that had seroconverted following vaccination resisted challenge with a virulent rabies virus which produced clinical signs of rabies in 6 of 6 unvaccinated foxes. Five of 11 vaccinated animals retained titers of rabies virus neutralizing antibody throughout the period. Although 6 of 11 had no detectable antibody at the time of challenge, 5 of these 6 resisted challenge and had an anamnestic response, as indicated by elevated titers of antibody when measured at day 77 postchallenge. These results show that foxes can be immunized successfully with a single oral dose of ERA vaccine, probably with protection against a lethal rabies challenge, for at least 7 y.     

Antibodies to Aujeszky's disease virus in pigs immunized with purified virus glycoproteins

Antibodies to Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) glycoproteins gII, gIII, and gp50 were compared using four in vitro tests. Antibodies generated by vaccination with a modified-live vaccine (MLV) were also compared. The serological assays employed were: serum neutralization test (SNT), complement facilitated serum neutralization test (C'SNT), complement-mediated cytolysis and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Pigs were immunized with single glycoproteins twice 14 days apart, or once with the modified-live vaccine. Fourteen days after the second immunization, sera were collected. Virus neutralizing activity (SNT) was demonstrated in the sera from all pigs immunized with gp50 and in one out of three immunized with gIII. Sera from the MLV group all had neutralization titers higher than animals immunized with single glycoproteins. Addition of guinea pig complement to the serum neutralization test (i.e., C'SNT) produced an enhancement of antibody titers in all groups except the pigs immunized with gIII. The complement-mediated cytolysis test rendered antibody titers similar in magnitude for all pigs immunized with single glycoproteins, but slightly lower than values for MLV vaccinated pigs. ADCC activity was clearly displayed in sera from pigs immunized with gIII or vaccinated with MLV, whereas sera from pigs immunized with gII or gp50 had a minimal response. The results indicate that the relative efficiency of antibodies against ADV glycoproteins in protection should be considered for selecting or producing gene-deleted strains for use in vaccine production.     

Studies of Escherichia Coli in Gnotobiotic Pigs: II. The Immune Response*

The immune response of orally infected and parenterally vaccinated (E. COLI 08:K.:H21) gnotobiotic pigs was studied by bactericidal and indirect hemagglutination test methods. The bacterial agglutination test proved to be of no value in this study.

The results demonstrated that antibody was detectable within 8 days following oral infection, but the titers remained very low until after the pigs were vaccinated intravenously. The titers of the sera were markedly increased following intravenous vaccination.

There was no detectable absorption of antibody from the gut of gnotobiotic pigs fed immune serum at 4 to 6 days of age and no detectable difference between the immune response of these pigs and those not fed serum.

The effects of zeranol,an anabolic agent,on the serum immunoglobulins of rabbits immunized with B.19 brucellosis vaccine

Rabbits were immunized with strain 19 antibrucella vaccine and repeatedly administered zeranol subcutaneously (total dose 10 mg in 28 days). The antibody response was followed up for 14 weeks. The following effects were observed: a) an increase in serum proteins during the period of zeranol treatment; b) increases of the agglutinating and, later, of the complement fixing activity, probably caused by an enhanced antibody avidity; c) an increased production and persistence of IgM (19 S).

Induction of systemic and mucosal immune response in cattle by intranasal administration of pig serum albumin in alginate microparticles

Biodegradable microparticles are an efficient mucosal delivery system that protect antigens from the harsh mucosal environment and facilitate their uptake by M cells at the epithelium of mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue. In this study, we determined the systemic and mucosal immune response in calves following intranasal and oral immunization with pig serum albumin (PSA) encapsulated in alginate microparticles. The size of the particles ranged from 1 to 50 microm in diameter, with 95% of the particles being smaller than 5 microm. High levels of anti-PSA IgG1 antibodies were found in the serum, nasal secretions, and to a less extent in saliva of calves vaccinated intranasally, but not orally, with PSA-microparticles. There was no significant increase of PSA-specific IgA. A weak lymphocyte proliferative immune response was observed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and few anti-PSA antibody-secreting cells (ASC) were detected in the blood of calves immunized intranasally. The combined systemic and mucosal response observed in intranasally immunized animals may be attributed to the wide variation in the size of the alginate microparticles, with smaller particles translocating to regional lymph nodes and inducing a systemic immune response, and larger particles being retained in the NALT and inducing a mucosal immune response. The procedure presented here may be useful as an intranasal vaccine against respiratory diseases in cattle.     

Evaluation of baits for oral vaccination of European wild boar piglets

The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate new baits for the oral delivery of vaccine preparations to 2–4 month-old wild boar piglets. Baits were prepared using a matrix composed of wild boar feed, wheat flour, paraffin, sacarose and cinnamon-truffle powder attractant with polyethylene capsules dipped into the matrix to introduce vaccine formulation. Physical stability studies demonstrated that baits were stable for at least three days at temperatures as high as 42 °C. Recombinant Escherichia coli expressing the membrane-displayed BM95-MSP1a fusion protein were used to test bacterial viability in the baits and the antibody response in orally immunized wild boar. The E. coli viability was not significantly affected after bait incubation at 25 and 37 °C for 96 h. Bait acceptance studies using artificial feeders in the field showed that baits were accepted by 2–3 month-old animals, the preferred age for vaccination. Orally immunized wild boar piglets excreted recombinant E. coli in the feces and developed antibody titers to recombinant BM95-MSP1a protein, thus confirming that vaccine composition was released and reached the wild boar gastrointestinal track. The results of these experiments support the use of these baits for oral delivery of vaccine formulations to 2–4 month-old wild boar piglets.     

Evaluation of efficacy of a new live Salmonella Typhimurium vaccine candidate in a murine model

Efficacy of a new live Salmonella Typhimurium vaccine candidate attenuated by two virulence gene deletions was evaluated in this study. Live form of the vaccine was orally administered and formalin-inactivated form was intramuscularly (IM) administered. 105 female BALB/c mice were used and divided into 5 groups, A to E, containing 21 mice per group. Serum IgG and secretory IgA titers and levels of serum IFN-γ, IL-4, TNF-α, IL-12 of the immunized groups, especially group C (oral prime-oral booster) significantly increased. In addition, all animals in groups C showed no clinical symptoms and survived the virulent challenges, whereas all or some of mice from the other groups died of the challenge. These indicate that the vaccine candidate can be an effective tool for prevention of Salmonella infections by inducing robustly protective immune responses and leading to the production of inflammatory cytokines. Booster immunization, especially via oral administration, is necessary to optimize its protection.     

Oral antibiotics enhance antibody responses to keyhole limpet hemocyanin in orally but not muscularly immunized chickens

Recent studies have emphasized the crucial role of gut microbiota in triggering and modulating immune response. We aimed to determine whether the modification of gut microbiota by oral co‐administration of two antibiotics, ampicillin and neomycin, would lead to changes in the antibody response to antigens in chickens. Neonatal chickens were given or not given ampicillin and neomycin (0.25 and 0.5 g/L, respectively) in drinking water. At 2 weeks of age, the chicks were muscularly or orally immunized with antigenic keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), and then serum anti‐KLH antibody levels were examined by ELISA. In orally immunized chicks, oral antibiotics treatment enhanced antibody responses (IgM, IgA, IgY) by 2–3‐fold compared with the antibiotics‐free control, while the antibiotics did not enhance antibody responses in the muscularly immunized chicks. Concomitant with their enhancement of antibody responses, the oral antibiotics also lowered the Lactobacillus species in feces. Low doses of antibiotics (10‐fold and 100‐fold lower than the initial trial), which failed to change the fecal Lactobacillus population, did not modify any antibody responses when chicks were orally immunized with KLH. In conclusion, oral antibiotics treatment enhanced the antibody response to orally exposed antigens in chickens. This enhancement of antibody response was associated with a modification of the fecal Lactobacillus content, suggesting a possible link between gut microbiota and antibody response in chickens.

Q fever (Coxiella burnetii) investigations in dairy cattle: persistence of antibodies after vaccination.

The immune response and persistence of antibodies were investigated in dairy cattle vaccinated with formalin-inactivated phase (ph) I Coxiella burnetii vaccine agglutinating antibody geometric mean titer (GMT) of 193.2 at 1 month after vaccination compared to a GMT of 2.0 for nonvaccinated calves. The agglutinating antibodies gradually decreased in vaccinated cattle, but the GMT remained approximately 4 times higher than that for the nonvaccinated group for at least 20 months. Results of serotests at 2 months after revaccination indicated a rapid increase in the GMT to 177.0 with agglutinating titers between 1:64 and 1:512.
