The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a new infectious bursal disease (IBD) immune complex vaccine on immune system response in both specific pathogen-free (SPF) and commercial birds. Evaluation of response to the vaccination in the two experiments was done by histopathological examination and serology. The results of this study have shown that immune complex vaccine with the V877 strain is quite safe in White Leghorn SPF birds in which there has been no participation of maternal antibodies. In commercial birds was also observed that the immune complex vaccine with the V877 strain acted synergistically with different levels of passive antibodies and the vaccine virus began to replicate as passive immunity decreased to provide the animal active immunological response. KEY-WORDS:Immune complex vaccine, Gumboro, serology, histopathology, poultry. RESUMOO objetivo desse estudo foi investigar o efeito de uma nova vacina de imunocomplexo contra a doença de Gumboro sobre o sistema imune de aves SPF e comerciais. A avaliação da resposta à vacinação foi realizada por meio de exame histopatológico e sorologia. Os resultados desse estudo demonstraram que a vacina de imunocomplexo com cepa V877 contra Gumboro é muito segura mesmo em aves SPF da linhagem White Leghorn nas quais não existia a participação de imunidade materna. Em aves comerciais também foi demonstrado que a vacina de imunocomplexo com a cepa V877 atuou sinergicamente com diferentes níveis de anticorpos passivos maternais, iniciando a replicação do vírus vacinal a partir do momento que a imunidade passiva diminui, para promover uma resposta imunológica ativa.
