Maternally and Naturally Acquired Antibody to <i>Mannheimia haemolytica</i> in Japanese Black Calves

Abstract: We investigated the dynamics and duration of antibody titer against Mannheimia haemolytica in Japanese Black calves. Twenty unvaccinated calves from two Japanese Black breeding farms in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, were studied. The antibody titer against M. haemolytica reached the lowest level at 8 weeks of age after birth. Calves began producing antibody against M. haemolytica by themselves between 8 and 12 weeks of age. The results of this study might help designing a vaccination program against M. haemolyt… Show more

“…Serum antibodies against P. multocida were detected on enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA), which was performed as described in a previous study [16]. Capsular antigens of P. multocida serotype A3 (strain BP165) were dispensed in the wells of a microtiter plate.…”

“…The highest dilution, which showed an optical density higher than 0.4, was used as an antibody titer. Serum antibodies against M. haemolytica were detected on ELISA, which was performed as described in a previous study [15]. M. haemolytica serotype 1 (HL2 strain) was dispensed in the wells of a microtiter plate.…”

“…Owing to high Ig levels in calves, guaranteeing protection against disease for up to three months and the ability to produce antibodies between 60 and 90 days of life following contact with a pathogen, active immunization can begin at four months, i.e. about 3-4 weeks before weaning (Otomaru et al 2013). Fulton et al (2004) showed that colostral antibodies in calves begin to disappear as early as the first week of life, but the age at which they become undetectable depends on individual and environmental factors, including the quantity of maternal antibodies absorbed by the new-born.…”

“…Analysis of the dynamics of the post-vaccination immune response on particular days in the feedlot revealed that a small level of passive immunity in calves at more than two months of age does not significantly affect the induction of a humoral immune response resulting from immunization with M. haemolytica. The consequence of this is a significant increase in Ig guaranteeing protection against disease (Otomaru et al 2013). Moreover, immunization of calves from two months of age with live modified vaccines stimulates the production of antibodies at a level that ensures protection.…”
