摘要

The heat-labile toxin (LT) of Escherichia coli is a potent mucosal adjuvant that has been used to induce protective immunity against Helicobacter felis and Helicobacter pylori infection in mice. We studied whether recombinant LT or its B subunit (LTB) has adjuvant activity in mice when delivered withH. pylori urease antigen via the parenteral route. Mice were immunized subcutaneously or intradermally with urease plus LT, recombinant LTB, or a combination of LT and LTB prior to intragastric challenge with H. pylori. Control mice were immunized orally with urease plus LT, a regimen shown previously to protect against H. pylori gastric infection. Parenteral immunization using either LT or LTB as adjuvant protected mice againstH. pylori challenge as effectively as oral immunization and enhanced urease-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses in serum as effectively as aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. LT and LTB had adjuvant activity at subtoxic doses and induced more consistent antibody responses than those observed with oral immunization. A mixture of a low dose of LT and a high dose of LTB stimulated the highest levels of protection and specific IgG in serum. Urease-specific IgG1 and IgG2a antibody subclass responses were stimulated by all immunization regimens tested, but relative levels were dependent on the adjuvant used. Compared to parenteral immunization with urease alone, LT preferentially enhanced IgG1, while LTB or the LT-LTB mixture preferentially enhanced IgG2a. Parenteral immunization using LT or LTB as adjuvant also induced IgA to urease in the saliva of some mice. These results show that LT and LTB stimulate qualitatively different humoral immune responses to urease but are both effective parenteral adjuvants for immunization of mice against H. pyloriinfection.
