    Notes:
    Infection with lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV) modifies the isotypic distribution of antibodies (Ab) directed to several antigenic proteins with a preferential production of IgG2a. Because it was not known whether the virus could also affect the Ab specificity, the authors addressed this point using human growth hormone (hGH) as a model antigen. Anti-hGH monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) were used as probes to study the occurrence of Ab to three native hGH epitopes (3C11, F11 and 10D6) in sera from LDV-infected CBA/Ht and BALB/c mice immunized with hGH. Competition ELISA was used to determine the extent of Ab directed to cryptic hGH epitopes, i.e. antigenic determinants hidden in the native hormone. Results indicated that in LDV-infected CBA/Ht mice the titres of anti-hGH Ab were lower than in controls, although a consistent isotypic shift to IgG2a subclass was observed. Concurrently, the presence of Ab to epitopes 3C11, F11 and/or 10D6 were markedly reduced in infected animals and most anti-hGH Ab were directed to hGH cryptic epitopes. By contrast, LDV infection increased the amount of anti-KLH Ab elicited by CBA/Ht mice and did not affect Ab specificity, whilst control and LDV-infected BALB/c mice showed similar concentrations of anti-hGH Ab. Furthermore, the proportion of Ab to cryptic hGH epitopes did not change in infected animals even though an important shift to IgG2a was detected. Thus, data presented herein suggest that LDV infection modifies Ab specificity depending on the mice genetic background and on the antigenic characteristics of the immunogen.

    Notes:
    An immunization protocol that induces antibodies (Abs) directed to cryptic epitopes of a protein antigen (Ag) reduces the efficacy of vaccines that ideally should induce Abs against native epitopes. We have shown earlier that viral infections concomitant with immunization against a protein tend to shift the Ab specificity toward cryptic epitopes and tend to induce the production of autoantibodies (autoAbs). Here, we show the effects of three adjuvants on the Ab specificity in the absence or presence of a viral infection (lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus or LDV), with human growth hormone (hGH) being, as before, the protein Ag.Pathogen-free CBA/Ht and BALB/c mice were immunized with hGH in the presence of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) or alum, with the animals being either infected with LDV or not infected with LDV. Conventional and competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) indicated that in noninfected mice, CFA induced higher titres of anti-hGH Ab than did MPL or alum, with the Ab being almost totally directed to cryptic hGH epitopes. Strikingly, CFA plus LDV infection in CBA/Ht mice shifted the specificity of the anti-hGH Ab toward native epitopes, whereas the virus decreased the Ab titre when MPL or alum was used. Our Western blot results showed that 70% of mice immunized with hGH in the presence of any adjuvant produced autoAbs against a variety of tissue Ags. The amount of autoAb and the concentration of Ab to hGH cryptic epitopes did correlate, suggesting a relationship between both kinds of Ab. Significant differences were observed in the various effects of adjuvants and the viral infection between the two mouse strains used in this work.
