PG - 64-70 LID - S0165-2427(09)00387-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.vetimm.2009.11.001 [doi] AB - Recent studies have demonstrated that immunization with nontoxic mutant staphylococcal enterotoxin C (mSEC) provides protection against Staphylococcus aureus infection in mouse models. In the present study, we investigated whether vaccination with a glutathione S-transferase-fused SEC (GST-mSEC) can protect against S. aureus-induced bovine mastitis. Cows were immunized with the GST-mSEC plus alum adjuvant and then challenged with viable S. aureus by an intramammary route. The results showed that immunization with GST-mSEC-induced production of SEC-specific antibodies in sera and the high titers of antibodies could persist for over 12 weeks. Importantly, immunization with GST-mSEC also induced production of SEC-specific antibodies in milk. The somatic cell counts in the milk from S. aureus challenged quarters of vaccinated lactating cows were significantly lower than those of the non-vaccinated control animals. Furthermore, the sera from GST-mSEC-immunized cows significantly inhibited interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production from mouse spleen cells induced by wild-type SEC. These results suggest that vaccination with GST-mSEC provides protection against S. aureus-induced bovine mastitis and that the protection might be mediated by SEC-neutralizing antibodies.
