RESUMO
The roles of systemic humoral immunity, cell-mediated immunity, and mucosal immunity in reciprocal protective immunity against Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis were examined by using a murine model of respiratory infection. Passive immunization with serum from mice infected with B. pertussis established protective immunity against B. pertussis but not against B. parapertussis. Protection against B. parapertussis was induced in mice that had been injected with serum from mice infected with B. parapertussis but not from mice infected with B. pertussis. Adoptive transfer of spleen cells from mice infected with B. pertussis or B. parapertussis also failed to confer reciprocal protection. To examine the role of mucosal immunity in reciprocal protection, mice were infected with preparations of either B. pertussis or B. parapertussis, each of which had been incubated with the bronchoalveolar wash of mice that were convalescing after infection with B. pertussis or B. parapertussis. Such incubation conferred reciprocal protection against B. pertussis and B. parapertussis on infected mice. The data suggest that mucosal immunity including secreted immunoglobulin A in the lungs might play an important role in reciprocal protective immunity in this murine model of respiratory infection.
