Secretory IgA possesses intrinsic modulatory properties stimulating mucosal and systemic immune responses.

چکیده
Secretory IgA (SIgA) is essential in protecting mucosal surfaces by ensuring immune exclusion. In addition, SIgA binds selectively to M cells in Peyer's patches (PP), resulting in transport across the epithelium and targeting of dendritic cells (DC) in the dome region. The immunological consequences of such an interaction are unknown. In this study, we find that oral delivery of SIgA comprising human secretory component and mouse IgA induces human secretory component-specific Ab and cellular responses in mucosal and peripheral tissues in mice. This takes place in the absence of co-addition of cholera toxin, identifying so far unraveled properties in SIgA. Specific immune responses are accompanied by sustained IL-10 and TGF-beta expression in draining mesenteric lymph nodes and spleen. SIgA also triggers migration of DC to the T cell-rich regions of PP, and regulates expression of CD80 and CD86 on DC in PP, mesenteric lymph nodes, and spleen. These results provide evidence that mucosal SIgA re-entering the body exerts a function of Ag delivery that contributes to effector and/or regulatory pathways characteristic of the intestinal mucosal compartment.

Induction of mucosal immune responses in the human genital tract.
Mucosae of the female and male genital tracts are the portals of entry for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) of viral, bacterial, and parasitic origin; worldwide, V120 000 000 cases of STDs are reported annually, but the true incidence is probably much higher. Infection with human immunode¢ciency virus (HIV) is no exception: epidemiologic data indicate that worldwide, 70^ 90% of all HIV infe...

Vaccines for protection against respiratory infections should optimally induce a mucosal immune response in the respiratory tract in addition to a systemic immune response. However, current parenteral immunization modalities generally fail to induce mucosal immunity, while mucosal vaccine delivery often results in poor systemic immunity. In order to find an immunization strategy which satisfies...

In induction of systemic and mucosal immunity, particulate antigens are more effective than soluble antigens possibly because they are more efficiently endocytosed by mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) M cells. In this study, we determined the systemic and mucosal immune responses in rabbits following intranasal immunization of tetanus toxoid TT and CpG-ODN encapsulated within PLGA nanos...
