What is the basis for protective immunity for the disease in question
• Circulating antibody?– IgM, IgG?
• Mucosal antibody?– IgA, IgE?
• Cell-mediated immunity?- Cytokine secretion (TH1 vs TH2)?- Cytotoxic T cells?- Gamma Delta T cells?
• What are the important antigens?
Pathogenic Mechanisms
• Adherence to Mucosa• Invasive parasite• Exotoxin/Endotoxin• Viremia• Septicemia• Intracytoplasmic Growth• Growth in phagosome• Infect epithelial cells
Defense Mechanisms
• Mucosal Antibody (IgA)• IgE• Neutralizing Antibody• Neutralizing Antibody• Opsonizing Antibody• Cytotoxic T cells• TH1 Cytokines• Gamma Delta T cells

Maternal Antibody

Endsley et. al., Viral Immunol, 17:13-23, 2004
Objective
To determine if infection with virulent BVDV in the presence of maternal antibody will induce antigen specific T cells and protective immunity without inducing antibody
Experimental Design
• Pooled colostrum from BVDV hyper-immunized cows fed to 12 calves.
• Six calves inoculated with BVDV 1373 at 6 to 20 days of age.
• All calves challenged with BVDV 1373 at 8 months of age.
• Monitor antibody and T cell subset responses

Isolation of BVD Virus from Buffy Coat After Second Challenge
ConclusionsWhen challenged with virulent BVDV, calves with high maternal antibody titers to BVDV:
•Did not produce an antibody response to BVDV
•Did develop memory CD4+, CD8+, and γδ T cells
•Did produce an anamnestic antibody response upon subsequent challenge
•Are protected from BVDV challenge in the absence of detectable serum neutralizing antibody

16 identified as seronegative
Among these, T cell responses were detected in several.

T Cell Responses to BRSV in Seronegative Calves
CD4CD8GD
Why T Cells Without Antibody?
Hypothesis:Those calves were previously infected with BRSV in the presence of maternal antibody. The humoral response was blocked, but T cells were primed.
Test:Vaccinate naïve calves and T cell-positive calves with BRSV. Does the latter group have immunologic memory, i.e. develop superior antibody and T cell responses?
