Mechanisms for Mucosal Immunogenicity and Adjuvancy of Escherichia coli Labile Enterotoxin

Abstract: Escherichia coli labile toxin (LT) was assessed as mucosal immunogen and as adjuvant for tetanus toxoid (TT) in mice. After oral administration of LT, C57BL/6 (H-2b) and BALB/c(H-2d) mice were high mucosal and serum antibody responders, while C3H/HeN (H-2k) mice were low responders. High responders exhibited mainly serum IgG (including IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b), as well as IgM and IgA, while mucosal responses were IgA. Analysis of LT-B-specific CD4+ T helper (Th) cells from Peyer's patches (PP) or from spleen re… Show more

“…LTS63Y as well as wild-type LT induced antigen-specific IgG1, IgG2a and IgG2b responses by IN immunization, indicating that LTS63Y may promote both Th1-and Th2-type responses. This result is consistent with the general pattern of T-cell help induced by LT described by other workers who have studied the cytokines such as INF-γ and IL-5, released by T cells taken from mice following immunization with LT as a mucosal adjuvant (Takahashi et al, 1996). In contrast, LT∆110/112 as well as wild-type LT induced predominant IgG1 responses following IG immunization, which more closely resembled the Th2-type responses induced by CT (Snapper et al, 1993;Marinaro et al, 1995;Douce et al, 1997).…”

“…As shown in Figure 3B, LTS63Y induced IgG1, IgG2a and IgG2b subclass antibody responses to H. pylori urease, which is consistent with a previous report suggesting that antibody response profiles induced by LT are regulated by both CD4 + Th1 and Th2 cell types (Takahashi et al, 1996). These results were quite different from the IgG subclass response (predominantly IgG1) induced by LT∆110/112 via the IG route ( Figure 3A).…”

“…Both the cholera toxin (CT) from Vibrio cholerae and heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) from ETEC belong to the most potent mucosal adjuvants and immunogens known to date by oral and other mucosal routes, where most of antigens are unable to induce immune responses (Jackson et al, 1993;Takahashi et al, 1996). However, their toxi-cities have precluded usages in human (Douce et al, 1995).…”

“…Therefore, it was of interest to determine the adjuvanticity of a mutant form of Escherichia. coli labile toxin (LT), which should lack these detrimental qualities (23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). Accordingly, we examined the mutant LT (designated as LT(R192G); see Refs.…”
