Formalin-inactivated bovine RSV vaccine influences antibody levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and disease outcome in experimentally infected calves

Vaccine. 2005 Aug 31;23(37):4625-30. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2005.04.032.

Abstract

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe respiratory disease in calves and human infants. In response to outbreaks, formalin inactivated (FI)-RSV vaccines were developed and found to exacerbate disease following a live RSV infection. We have reproduced vaccination induced disease enhancement in calves and screened various antibody isotypes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from two studies: one with disease enhancement and another where moderate protection resulted from FI-bovine RSV (BRSV) vaccination. Semi-protected vaccinated calves produced BRSV-specific BALF IgG1, but not IgA and IgG2 prior to infection; whereas, calves with enhanced disease failed to develop BRSV-specific IgG1 in BALF. Ultimately, the formulation and delivery of RSV vaccines influences protective antibody levels in respiratory secretions.
