Abstract

The potential contribution made by the inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) to the adjuvant activity of aluminium hydroxide gels (Alum) or Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) was studied by comparing the immunological responses of IL-6- or TNF receptor 1- (p55; TNFR-1) deficient mice with immunocompetent control mice. While both TNFR-1- and IL-6-deficient mice primed with ovalbumin (OVA) prepared in either Alum or FCA produced similar IgG.1 responses in comparison to control mice, the pattern of T-helper type 1- (Th1) dependent IgG2a production was significantly altered. In TNFR-1-deficient mice, IgG2a responses were greater than in control mice when FCA, but not when Alum, was used as an adjuvant. Correspondingly, spleen cells from FCA-inoculated TNFR-1-deficient mice restimulated with antigen in vitro produced higher Th1 cytokine (interferon-gamma; IFN-gamma) levels with no alteration in Th2 cytokine (IL-4; IL-5, IL-6 and IL-10) production in comparison with wild-type mice. Higher levels of IgG2a were also detected in IL-6-deficient mice compared with wild-type mice following inoculation with OVA prepared in either FCA or in Alum. Furthermore, analysis of cytokine production b...Continue Reading
