Adjuvants in the induction and enhancement of rat IgE responses.

Abstract

In Hooded Lister rats the primary IgE antibody response induced by immunization with antigen and adjuvant may be enhanced either specifically by a further dose of antigen (booster response) or non-specifically by infection with helminth parasites (potentiated response). The initial immunizing technique can influence the occurrence and level of these enhanced responses and here we describe the effect of using different adjuvants in the priming event. Although the level of the primary response was broadly similar following immunization with egg-albumin and the adjuvants Bordetella pertussis aluminium hydroxide or Freund's complete adjuvant, the booster response was inhibited and the potentiated response intensified in animals immunized with the latter two adjuvants. A significant IgE booster response could only be obtained if B. pertussis had been used in the initial immunization. When aluminium hydroxide was adsorbed to B. pertussis it was found to have the same inhibitory effect on subsequent booster responses as when it was adsorbed to antigen. These results are discussed in relation to the intricacies of IgE production in the present model and to more general mechanisms of adjuvant action.
