Heat-labile Escherichia coli toxin enhances the induction of allergen-specific IgG antibodies in epicutaneous patch vaccination.


ABSTRACT: Epicutaneous allergen-specific immunotherapy (EPIT) is proposed as an alternative route for allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT). The induction of allergen-specific blocking IgG antibodies represents an important mechanism underlying AIT, but has not been investigated for EPIT. Here, we compared the induction of allergen-specific blocking IgG in outbred guinea pigs which had been immunized with recombinant birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 using patch delivery system (PDS) with or without heat-labile toxin (LT) from Escherichia coli or subcutaneously with aluminum hydroxide (Alum)-adsorbed rBet v 1. Only subcutaneous immunization with Alum-adsorbed rBet v 1 and epicutaneous administration of rBet v 1 with PDS in combination with LT from E. coli induced allergen-specific IgG antibodies blocking allergic patients' IgE, but not immunization with rBet v 1 via PDS alone. Our results suggest that patch vaccination with rBet v 1 in combination with LT may be a promising strategy for allergen-specific immunotherapy against birch pollen allergy.
