Protection against rotavirus-induced gastroenteritis in a murine model by passively acquired gastrointestinal but not circulating antibodies.

PMCID: PMC254760  PMID: 2983120

Abstract

Newborn mice suckled on dams immunized either orally or parenterally with primate rotavirus SA-11 were protected against diarrhea induced by SA-11 virus challenge. Experimental oral administration of milk from orally immunized dams protected suckling mice against challenge; protective activity was detected both in the anti-rotavirus immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgG fractions, but IgA was more potent in vivo than IgG. Oral administration of milk from parentally immunized dams also protected suckling mice against challenge; in this case, protective activity was detected in the anti-rotavirus IgG fraction. In newborn mice foster-nursed by seronegative dams, circulating rotavirus-specific antibodies in high titer did not protect mice against oral SA-11 virus challenge. It appears that the most effective rotavirus vaccine will be that which induces an efficient production of antibodies active at the intestinal cell surface.
