Abstract:
:Current mouse models for evaluating the efficacy of live oral cholera vaccines (OCVs) have important limitations. Conventionally raised adult mice are resistant to intestinal colonization by Vibrio cholerae, but germfree mice can be colonized and have been used to study OCV immunogenicity. However, germfree animals have impaired immune systems and intestinal physiology; also, live OCVs colonize germfree mice for many months, which does not mimic the clearance kinetics of live OCVs in humans. In this study, we leveraged antibiotic-treated, conventionally raised adult mice to study the effects of transient intestinal colonization by a live OCV V. cholerae strain. In a single-dose vaccination regimen, we found that HaitiV, a live-attenuated OCV candidate, was cleared by streptomycin-treated adult mice within 2 weeks after oral inoculation. This transient colonization elicited far stronger adaptive immune correlates of protection against cholera than did inactivated whole-cell HaitiV. Infant mice from HaitiV-vaccinated dams were also significantly more protected from choleric disease than pups from inactivated-HaitiV-vaccinated dams. Our findings establish the benefits of antibiotic-treated mice for live-OCV studies as well as their limitations and underscore the immunogenicity of HaitiV.IMPORTANCE Oral cholera vaccines (OCVs) are being deployed to combat cholera, but current killed OCVs require multiple doses and show little efficacy in young children. Live OCVs have the potential to overcome these limitations, but small-animal models for testing OCVs have shortcomings. We used an antibiotic treatment protocol for conventional adult mice to study the effects of short-term colonization by a single dose of HaitiV, a live-OCV candidate. Vaccinated mice developed vibriocidal antibodies against V. cholerae and delivered pups that were resistant to cholera, whereas mice vaccinated with inactivated HaitiV did not. These findings demonstrate HaitiV's immunogenicity and suggest that this antibiotic treatment protocol will be useful for evaluating the efficacy of live OCVs.
