Potent immunogenicity of the B subunits of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin: receptor binding is essential and induces differential modulation of lymphocyte subsets.

Abstract:

:The importance of receptor binding in the potent immunogenicity of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit (EtxB) was tested by comparing its immunogical properties with those of a receptor binding mutant, EtxB(G33D). Subcutaneous immunization of EtxB(G33D) resulted in 160-fold reduction in antibody titer compared with wild-type EtxB, whereas its oral delivery failed to provoke any detectable secretory or serum anti-B subunit responses. Moreover, the two proteins induced strikingly different effects on lymphocyte cultures in vitro. EtxB, in comparison with EtxB(G33D), caused an increase in the proportion of B cells, many of which were activated (CD25+); the complete depletion of CD8+ T cells; an increase in the activation of CD4+ T cells; and an increase in interleukin 2 and a decrease in interferon gamma. These data indicate that EtxB exerts profound effects on immune cells, suggesting that its potent immunogenicity is dependent not only on efficient receptor-mediated uptake, but also on direct receptor-mediated immunomodulation of lymphocyte subsets.
