Abstract

Roundworm infections result in morbidity, causing significant health and economic concerns in humans and pigs, respectively. We investigated the humoral responses of infected pigs before and after transition from larval to adult stage and confirmed our previous report on the diagnostic value of human -specific antibodies. We evaluated the systemic and mucosal humoral responses in infected pigs at 14- and 35-days post-infection (dpi). -specific antibodies against larval and adult worm antigens and adult excretory/secretory (ES) products in serum, broncho-alveolar lavage fluid and intestinal mucus were quantified by ELISA. IgA B cells in jejunal/ileal mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) were investigated using flow cytometry. ES products reliably reported parasite-specific IgM, IgA, IgG and IgG1/2 present in sera at 35 dpi (adult stage) and even at 14 dpi (larval stage). Neither variable worm burdens nor the coinfection with affected the ES-specific antibody profiles. Extracts of the third-stage larvae (L3) were less suited but clearly reported L3-specific secretory IgA in lung and intestine. IgA B cells expanded in lymph nodes draining jejunum and ileum at day 14 post infection but leveled down to background controls at 35 days after primary infection. A strong correlation between sIgA and eosinophil numbers was seen in the lung, validating previous observations in mice for the definite host. The balanced targeting of L3-somatic antigens and adult ES by sIgA in mucosal sites contrasted with prominent parasite-specific IgA in sera which exclusively reacted to ES products. Collectively, our data indicate extensive antigenic overlap between life stages, facilitating the detection of pre-patent and larval stage infection. We further point out distinct mucosal/systemic IgA responses in infection which deserve further functional investigations.

摘要

蛔虫感染会导致发病,分别给人类和猪带来重大的健康和经济问题。我们研究了感染猪从幼虫阶段过渡到成虫阶段前后的体液反应,并证实了我们之前关于人特异性抗体诊断价值的报告。我们评估了感染猪在感染后14天和35天的全身和黏膜体液反应。通过酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)对血清、支气管肺泡灌洗液和肠道黏液中针对幼虫和成虫蠕虫抗原以及成虫排泄/分泌(ES)产物的特异性抗体进行定量。使用流式细胞术研究空肠/回肠系膜淋巴结(mLN)中的IgA B细胞。ES产物可靠地报告了在35天龄(成虫阶段)甚至14天龄(幼虫阶段)时血清中存在的寄生虫特异性IgM、IgA、IgG和IgG1/2。蠕虫负荷的变化或与其他病原体的共感染均未影响ES特异性抗体谱。第三期幼虫(L3)的提取物不太适合,但清楚地报告了肺和肠道中L3特异性分泌型IgA。感染后第14天,空肠和回肠引流淋巴结中的IgA B细胞扩增,但在初次感染后35天降至背景对照水平。在肺部观察到sIgA与嗜酸性粒细胞数量之间存在强相关性,这验证了之前在小鼠作为确定宿主时的观察结果。黏膜部位sIgA对L3体细胞抗原和成虫ES的平衡靶向与血清中仅对ES产物反应的突出寄生虫特异性IgA形成对比。总体而言,我们的数据表明不同生活阶段之间存在广泛的抗原重叠,有助于检测潜伏期和幼虫期感染。我们进一步指出了蛔虫感染中黏膜/全身IgA反应的差异,这值得进一步进行功能研究。
