B memory cell responses to LPS, IVP and IpaB antigen after oral vaccination with Shigella sonnei vaccine candidates WRSs2 and WRSs3.

ABSTRACT: B memory (BM) cell responses were evaluated using peripheral blood mononuclear cells that were collected and cryopreserved during a Phase 1 trial of two live Shigella sonnei vaccine candidates WRSs2 and WRSs3. An ELISpot assay was used to measure IgG+ and IgA+ BM cell responses against S. sonnei LPS, IVP and IpaB antigens. Analysis of BM cell responses at baseline, and on days 28 and 56 post vaccination indicate that after a single oral dose of WRSs2 and WRSs3, both groups of vaccinees induced IgG+ and IgA+ BM cell responses that were variable in magnitude among subjects and reached significance to IVP and IpaB at several doses. The responses generally peaked at d28 after vaccination. The baseline as well as post-vaccination levels of IgA+ BM cells were relatively higher than IgG+ BM cells
