by N.R. Saltmarsh, staff medical writer - Circulating immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) can be a good indication of how well a vaccine against Escherichia coli will work, say microbiologists.

M. Jertborn and colleagues at Gothenburg University, Sweden, studied the immunogenicity of different preparations of an oral inactivated enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) vaccine consisting of recombinant cholera toxin B (CTB) subunit and various amounts of formalin-killed whole bacteria expressing the most prevalent colonization factor antigens (CFAs).

The majority of Swedish volunteers, who had not been previously exposed to E. coli infection, produced significant IgA responses against CTB and the various CFA components, regardless of the vaccine preparation given, reported Jertborn and coworkers.

"The IgA ASC responses against CTB were significantly higher after the second than after the first immunization, whereas the CFA-specific IgA ASC responses were almost comparable after each dose of ETEC vaccine," they noted.

When one-third dose of E. coli bacteria was given, subjects showed lower frequencies of IgA ASC responses against all the different CFAs compared with two, full vaccine doses ("Dose-dependent circulating immunoglobulin A antibody-secreting cell and serum antibody responses in Swedish volunteers to an oral ...
