Differences in the immune responses of mice and sheep to an aromatic-dependent mutant of Free

Abstract

Summary

A live mutant serotype Typhimurium ovine strain (S25/1) could be cultured from tissues of mice for up to 90 days after oral infection. Following vaccination, high levels of specific serum IgM, IgG and IgA were produced in addition to high levels of specific intestinal IgA. Moreover, there was also evidence of specific cell-mediated immunity in vaccinated mice in the form of strong delayed-type hypersensitivity and the production of interferon-gamma (IFN-τ) by spleen cells stimulated with antigen. The strain was also recovered from the mesenteric lymph nodes and most tissues examined from sheep vaccinated by the oral route. specific IgM was detected in the serum; however, specific IgG responses were very low and there was an absence of specific copro-antibody. Although strong specific lymphocyte proliferative responses were detected, they did not result in the production of IFN-τ and flow cytometric analysis revealed that the proliferating cells were predominantly B lymphocytes. Despite the absence of strong vaccine-specific immune responses in vaccinated sheep compared with those seen in mice, both mice and sheep were protected against challenge with virulent wild-type strain S25/1.
