RESUMO
Intragastric inoculation with whole-virion vaccine of inactivated influenza virus resulted in production of hemagglutinin (HA)-specific immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgG both in lung lavage fluids and in serum samples of mice. HA-specific IgA was the predominant isotypic antibody secreted in the lung lavage fluids (average IgA/IgG ratio, 13:1), whereas HA-specific IgG was the major antibody class in serum (average IgA/IgG ratio, 0.3:1). These responses were similar to the antibody responses stimulated by intranasal infection with live influenza virus. In vitro cultures of lymphoid cells from lungs and Peyer's patches, but not from spleens, in the presence of homologous antigen, from mice vaccinated intragastrically synthesized mostly HA-specific IgA. Mice immunized parenterally with inactivated influenza virus produced only IgG in lung lavage fluids and sera. Cultures of lymphoid cells from their spleens, but not their lungs, synthesized HA-specific IgG upon antigenic stimulation in vitro; neither synthesized IgA. These in vitro cell culture results, as well as the inverse relationship of IgA/IgG ratios in lung lavage fluids and sera, demonstrated that the IgA antibody in lung lavage fluids was actively synthesized locally in the lungs of intragastrically immunized mice. This finding was consistent with the migratory distribution of antigen-primed lymphoid cells from Peyer's patches to distant lymphoid tissue such as lung. Intragastric vaccination conferred protection against intranasal challenge with a lethal dose of virulent virus.
