Abstract

The effects of parenteral administration of a killed typhoid vaccine on the intestinal immune response to live orally administered Salmonella typhi Ty21a in human subjects was evaluated. Priming with parenteral vaccination neither enhanced nor suppressed the subsequent specific serum and intestinal immunoglobulin A (IgA) immune responses to a booster course of live oral vaccine. Neither a single oral dose of live vaccine nor a single dose of parenteral vaccine had any measurable booster effect on the observed primary intestinal IgA response to the live oral vaccine. Two booster doses of subcutaneously administered killed typhoid vaccine did result in a significant increase in the specific intestinal IgA antibody in those subjects primed with the oral live vaccine. This response was comparable in magnitude to the primary intestinal response. No evidence of this response could be found in serum IgA, although nonsignificant rises in serum IgG were evident. Previous parenteral priming had no effect on secondary immune responses to a live oral vaccine in humans. Serum immune responses were generally found to be of little value as indicators of local intestinal immunity. This study confirmed that parenteral vaccination was only able to induce an intestinal immune response following priming with live, orally administered organisms and that multiple parenteral booster doses were necessary to induce a measurable effect on intestinal immune responses.
