Influenza vaccines that induce greater cross-reactive or
heterosubtypic immunity (Het-I) may overcome limitations in vaccine efficacy imposed by the antigenic variability of influenza A viruses. We have compared mucosal versus traditional parenteral administration of inactivated influenza vaccine for the ability to induce Het-I in
BALB/c mice and evaluated a modified Escherichia coli
heat-labile enterotoxin adjuvant, LT(R192G), for augmentation of Het-I.
Mice that received three intranasal (i.n.) immunizations of H3N2
vaccine in the presence of LT(R192G) were completely protected against lethal challenge with a highly pathogenic human H5N1 virus and had
nasal and lung viral titers that were at least 2,500-fold lower than
those of control mice receiving LT(R192G) alone. In contrast, mice that
received three vaccinations of H3N2 vaccine subcutaneously in the
presence or absence of LT(R192G) or incomplete Freund's adjuvant were
not protected against lethal challenge and had no significant
reductions in tissue virus titers observed on day 5 post-H5N1 virus
challenge. Mice that were i.n. administered H3N2 vaccine alone, without
LT(R192G), displayed partial protection against heterosubtypic
challenge. The immune mediators of Het-I were investigated. The
functional role of B and CD8+ T cells in Het-I were
evaluated by using gene-targeted B-cell (IgH-6
/
)- or
2-microglobulin (
2m
/
)-deficient mice,
respectively.
2m
/
but not IgH-6
/
vaccinated mice were protected by Het-I and survived a lethal infection
with H5N1, suggesting that B cells, but not CD8+ T cells,
were vital for protection of mice against heterosubtypic challenge.
Nevertheless, CD8+ T cells contributed to viral clearance
in the lungs and brain tissues of heterotypically immune mice. Mucosal
but not parenteral vaccination induced subtype cross-reactive lung
immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, and serum IgG anti-hemagglutinin
antibodies, suggesting the presence of a common cross-reactive epitope
in the hemagglutinins of H3 and H5. These results suggest a strategy of
mucosal vaccination that stimulates cross-protection against multiple
influenza virus subtypes, including viruses with pandemic potential.
