Abstract

The objective of the present study was to evaluate (i) the passive transfer of maternally derived functional porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)-specific lymphocytes of seronegative sows immunized with the PCV2 vaccine to newborn piglets and (ii) the functional role of the maternally derived PCV2-specific cellular immune response in protecting newborn piglets from challenge with PCV2. After ingesting colostrums, piglets from vaccinated sows (PT01 and PT02) have significantly higher numbers of PCV2-specific gamma interferon-secreting cells, an increased PCV2-specific delayed type hypersensitivity response, and a stronger proliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells compared with piglets from non-vaccinated seronegative sows (PT03 and PT04). In the PCV2 challenge study, the number of serum genomic PCV2 copies was significantly less in piglets from vaccinated sows (PT02) compared with piglets from non-vaccinated sows (PT04) at 7–28 days post-inoculation (<0.05 and <0.001). The histopathological lesions and immunohistochemical scores were significantly lower in piglets of vaccinated sows compared with those of non-vaccinated sows. To our knowledge, this is the first report of transferring a maternally derived PCV2-specific cellular immune response from vaccinated dams to their offspring. Maternally derived adaptive cellular immune responses play a critical role in protecting newborn piglets challenged with PCV2 at 3 weeks of age.
