Abstract
The live attenuated vaccine (P7-P8 strain) against cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) infection of goldfish shows high protective efficacy. However, the underlying immune mechanism induced by P7-P8 vaccination remains unknown. It is known that the fish survived in the primary infection with CyHV-2 by the virus non-permissive high temperature (HT) water treatment elicit immunity against secondary virus challenge. In this study, the immunity induced by the P7-P8 vaccine was compared with that by HT treatment. To further explore the immunological responses of cyprinids, in addition to goldfish Carassius auratus, susceptible isogenic ginbuna C. auratus langsdorfii was included in this study. In the primary immune response, cyprinids were vaccinated with P7-P8, or treated with HT. In the secondary immune response, cyprinids were challenged with the virulent CyHV-2. The percentage dynamics of CD4-1 and CD8α positive lymphocytes were determined during the primary and secondary immune responses of the two cyprinids. Blood plasma was sampled to assess the anti-CyHV-2 IgM antibody titers. The vaccination with P7-P8 and HT-treatment induced high protection immunity in the cyprinids with relative percentage survival of over 88 % against virulent virus challenge. Our finding shows that the CD8α positive lymphocytes rather than CD4-1 positive lymphocytes play an important role in the secondary immune responses of cyprinids vaccinated with P7-P8. The CD4-1 positive lymphocytes rather than CD8α positive lymphocytes play an important role in the secondary immune responses of cyprinids treated with HT. The antibody titer of vaccinated cyprinids did not increase greatly even after virulent virus challenge. The results suggest the vaccine activates the CD8α cells and the secondary cell-mediated immunity. The differences in the induced immunity mechanisms in fish by the two measures might be based on the virus either being an avirulent virus form that cannot evade host responses or a virulent virus form that cannot propagate at non-permissive temperature.
期刊介绍:
Fish and Shellfish Immunology rapidly publishes high-quality, peer-refereed contributions in the expanding fields of fish and shellfish immunology. It presents studies on the basic mechanisms of both the specific and non-specific defense systems, the cells, tissues, and humoral factors involved, their dependence on environmental and intrinsic factors, response to pathogens, response to vaccination, and applied studies on the development of specific vaccines for use in the aquaculture industry.
