Functional analysis of antibody responses of feedlot cattle to bovine respiratory syncytial virus following vaccination with mixed vaccines.

The antibody response of cattle to bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) immunization was investigated using 4 different commercially available mixed vaccines. Forty, 5-6 month old, beef calves, randomly assigned to groups of 10, were vaccinated on day 0 and 21 with 1 of 3 inactivated vaccines, (3 groups), or a modified live virus (MLV) vaccine. BRSV-specific antibody responses were measured prior to vaccination and on day 35 by using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), virus neutralization assay (VN), a fusion inhibition assay (FI); and responses were also measured for their ability to facilitate antibody dependent, complement mediated cytotoxicity (ADCMC) of BRSV infected cells. Sera from day 35 were, in addition, analyzed by use of an IgG1, IgG2 isotype specific ELISA. All vaccines induced significant increases in BRSV specific IgG antibody as measured by ELISA, but only one inactivated and the MLV vaccine induced significant increases in VN titers. Fusion inhibiting antibody titers were low or undetected in calves vaccinated with the inactivated vaccines. Vaccination with modified live virus induced significantly higher titers of fusion inhibiting antibodies, which are considered to be most highly correlated with protection. The VN to ELISA and FI to ELISA ratio of the calves that received MLV vaccine were significantly greater than the calves receiving the 3 inactivated vaccines. Vaccination with MLV induced the highest IgG2/IgG1 ratio. This difference was small, and only significant relative to 2 of the inactivated vaccine groups, which were not significantly different from each other. The higher proportion of IgG2 isotype in the MLV sera was not associated with lower ADCMC, a function not attributed to this isotype. The VN and FI titers, but not the ELISA value of the sera, were most predictive of ADCMC. The inactivation processes apparently alter epitopes and affect the induction of functional antibodies.
