AB  - S. pneumoniae is an important human pathogen which has a polysaccharide capsule with virulent properties. This work aims to estimate the titres of S. pneumoniae specific IgG and IgA isotypes, with respect to age and sex. An in-house whole bacterial cell ELISA was used for the determination of relative levels and endpoint titres of IgG subclasses and IgA1 subclass specific for S. pneumoniae serogroup 1, and to quantify specific IgG1 and IgG2 levels. Significantly lower anti-pneumococcus IgG1 titres were found in older individuals, which was more pronounced in men. Lower IgG2 titres were detected in men over 50 years of age, in comparison to women under 50 years of age. The levels of IgG3 and IgG4 did not differ between different sex and age groups. Lower IgA1 levels were detected in male individuals in both age groups in comparison to females under 50 years of age. The levels of IgG1 showed a moderate correlation with IgG4 in younger individuals of both sexes (r = 0.61 in men and 0.63 in women) which was not noted in the older age group. We highlight the deficiency in humoral immunity in older people, especially male and suggest immunization of this population with pneumococcal vaccines.

AB  - In vivo animal models can provide worthy information on various aspects of asthma mechanism and pathogenesis. The genetic predisposition and phenotype of mice may affect the immune response itself. Here we compare the early immune response to Der p 2 or HDM allergen extract upon injection and inhalation in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Female C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice were immunized with Der p 2 allergen subcutaneously followed by inhalation of Der p 2 or HDM extract. After challenge, the mice were euthanized; blood, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), spleens and lungs were collected. Cells from BAL were identified by May-Grünwald Giemsa staining and lung leukocyte populations were analyzed by flow cytometry. Serum antibody levels of Der p 2 specific IgE, IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a were assessed by ELISA, and cytokine secretion (IL-4, IFN-γ and IL-10) was evaluated upon stimulation with Der p 2 or HDM extract. The Th2 immune response was confirmed by elevated allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and the allergic reaction was evidenced by infiltration of eosinophils and/or neutrophils into BAL. We found that BALB/c mice were inefficient in integrating local with systemic immune response, evidenced by almost no IgG or IgE production upon one subcutaneous injection and subsequent inhalation of Der p 2 allergen; also, the bronchoalveolar lavage infiltrate in these mice consisted of neutrophil infiltration, unlike C57BL/6 mice in which eosinophilic infiltrate predominated. The differences between BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice strains could be exploited for generating different types of responses to the Der p 2 allergen.

AB  - Increased interest in microbiota calls for the thorough analysis of antibody reactivity to different microorganisms. As salivary IgA represents the first line of defence against microorganisms contacting mucosal surfaces, we explored the binding and specificity of salivary IgA by testing the binding of purified, FITC-labelled salivary IgA to different microorganisms in flow cytometry and conclude that this kind of analysis enables the differentiation of species/strains with high IgA binding capacity, which should be corroborated on a larger sample size. Further we compare, with in-house ELISA, the binding of polyclonal salivary IgA with the binding of polyclonal serum IgA from the same individuals to whole microbial cells and to purified microbial components. High correlations were obtained in total salivary IgA binding to Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Escherichia coli, very distant bacterial species, as well as to isolated bacterial components (r =.70–.97). The binding of total salivary IgA resembled the binding of both salivary IgA1 and IgA2, with IgA2 predominating. For serum polyclonal IgA repertoire, substantially higher specificity was obtained. Serum IgA binding to E. coli correlated best with serum IgA binding to lipopolysaccharide (r =.86), and serum IgA against L. rhamnosus correlated best with the anti-peptidoglycan IgA levels (r =.88). We have also detected that total serum IgA response is governed by either IgA1 or IgA2 response, depending on the nature of the antigen/s. We conclude that steady state salivary IgA repertoire, unlike serum IgA repertoire, consists of polyreactive antibodies with innate specificity, questioning its capacity to select resident microbiota.

AB  - We examined the accessibility of influenza virus and diphtheria-tetanus toxin (DiTe) antigens to the choroid plexus (CP) within the postvaccination period and the expression of CD11b molecules (by immunohistochemistry). Eighteen Dark Agouti (DA) rats were divided into three groups: (i) animals administered with influenza vaccine (Flu), (ii) animals administered with DiTe vaccine (DiTe), and (iii) nontreated (Contr) animals. The serum antibody titers following influenza and diphtheria-tetanus vaccination were detected by the ELISA test. Immunohistochemical staining revealed a great number of viral antigen-positive and CD11b-positive brain cells in Flu rats compared to a very small number of the respective cells in DiTe animals and no staining in the Contr group. DiTe- and Flu-rats showed significant increases in the serum anti-tetanus toxoid and anti-influenza virus antibody levels compared to those in the Contr group. The results obtained attract attention towards the dynamic role of the CP in the immunosurveillance of the CNS. Based on the viral antigen deposits accumulated in the CP, it has been proposed that the latter can play an active role in modulation of the immune response after influenza vaccine immunization.
