Characterization of anamnestic T-cell responses induced by conventional vaccines against contagious bovine pleuropneumonia.

ABSTRACT: A better understanding of how T1 vaccination confers immunity would facilitate the rational design of improved vaccines against contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP). We show here that mycoplasmas-induced recall proliferation and IFN-? responses are detected in cattle that received multiple shots of T1 vaccines. These anamnestic responses were under the strict control of CD4(+) T lymphocytes. Moreover, CD62L expression indicated that both CD4(+) effector memory (Tem) and central memory (Tcm) T lymphocytes are elicited in these animals. Comparative analysis with data from cattle that completely recovered from CBPP infection revealed similar anamnestic T-cell responses albeit at a lower magnitude for T1-vaccinated animals, particularly in the Tcm compartment. In conclusion, we discuss how our current understanding of T-cell responses will contribute to ongoing efforts for the improvement of future CBPP vaccines.

A better understanding of how T1 vaccination confers immunity would facilitate the rational design of improved vaccines against contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP). We show here that mycoplasmas-induced recall proliferation and IFN-γ responses are detected in cattle that received multiple shots of T1 vaccines. These anamnestic responses were under the strict control of CD4(+) T lymphocytes. Moreover, CD62L expression indicated that both CD4(+) effector memory (Tem) and central memory (Tcm) ...[more]

Project description:AimsThe aim of this study was to analyse the current situation of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in the Central African Republic (CAR) by seroprevalence analysis, as well as isolation and characterization of strains of the etiologic agent, Mycoplasma mycoides mycoides (Mmm), circulating in livestock breeding regions.Material and methodsThe strains obtained were subjected to whole genome sequencing by Illumina technology and genotyped using the eMLST technique based on 62 genes of the Mmm core genome. Their sensitivity to tetracycline was assessed by determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) on agar. A seroprevalence analysis by competitive ELISA was conducted in livestock breeding regions (West, Centre and East CAR), including both zebu and taurine cattle breeds, and both males and females.ResultsThe three strains isolated in the three regions of the CAR shared exactly the same genomic sequence. Phylogenetic analysis showed that they were closely related to a strain isolated in the CAR in 1991, also sequenced in this study, and clustered with Mmm strains originating from East and Central Africa. The recent isolates presented increased MIC values, though they were still sensitive to tetracycline. The global CBPP prevalence in the CAR was estimated at 12.5% with no significant differences observed between cattle breeding regions, nor between males and females. However, a significantly higher prevalence was observed in zebu compared to taurine cattle, most likely in relation to their herding system based on cattle transhumance and nomadic pastoralism.ConclusionCBPP is enzootic in the CAR in spite of control campaigns based on use of the live T1 vaccines, which have shown little efficacy due to poor implementation in the field. New strategies combining controlled use of antibiotics and inactivated vaccines, with increased thermostability, should be well received by livestock keepers and allow a better control of CBPP in the region. The fact that the recent Mmm isolates are still resistant to tetracycles is encouraging.

Project description:For the development of a competitive ELISA (cELISA) to detect serum antibodies against the Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. Mycoides (Mmm) (strain PG1), the causative agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), all the proteins of this pathogen were analyzed. Then, a specific extracellular region of a transmembrane protein with the potential for diagnosis was identified. After that, a monoclonal antibody (Mab) named 3A8 was obtained using this extracellular region as an immunogen. Finally, a cELISA was established with the extracellular domain of this transmembrane protein as the coating antigen, Mab 3A8 as the competitive antibody, and HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG as the enzyme-labeled antibody. This established method was used to detect the antibody dynamic regularity of goats which are artificially immunized Mmm and was also compared with a commercial ELISA kit. Further, the sera of 1011 different cattle from border provinces of China were monitored using a candidate Mab 3A8 cELISA. The detection results of known background sera used in this study indicate that a candidate diagnostic marker was successfully identified by analyzing all the coding proteins of Mmm in this research, and the cELISA established based on the Mab 3A8 against this protein can detect CBPP-positive serum with specificity and has no cross-reaction with other related epidemic disease-positive sera. In addition, we tested the sera collected from the border areas of China using the established ELISA, and no positive sample was detected. The research protocol of the CBPP cELISA established in this study is different from the traditional method, which can greatly reduce the investment of manpower and capital and save development time. We believe that this study's protocol could serve as a reference for the development of detection methods for mycoplasma and other complex pathogens. KEY POINTS: • A Mmm-specific diagnostic marker was obtained based on protein characteristics. • A cELISA was established for CBPP serum antibody detection. • The serological investigation was conducted for CBPP in the border areas of China.
