Abstract

The ability of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), QS-21 and alum to alter the immunologic response to immunization with respiratory syncytial virus a chimeric FG construct (FG) subunit vaccine was examined in BALB/c mice. FG/MPL, FG/alum, and FG/MPL/QS-21 combinations increased non-neutralizing antibody response, while FG/QS-21 did not. FG subunit vaccine with MPL, QS-21, or both had cytokine responses more closely resembling primary infection than FG/alum, with decreased interleukin-4 mRNA levels and increased IgG2a isotype antibody. The lungs of the mice immunized with FG subunit vaccines showed a heightened inflammatory response to respiratory syncytial virus challenge as compared to live virus immunization. Adjuvants can be used to alter the humoral and cellular responses to RSV subunit immunization.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
