The toxins damage intestinal epithelial cells leading to a loss of barrier integrity and induction of a proinflammatory host response. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that neutralize Toxin A and Toxin B, actoxumab and bezlotoxumab, respectively, significantly reduce disease severity in a murine model of <em>C. difficile</em> infection. However, the impact of toxin neutralization on the induction and quality of the innate immune response following infection is unknown. The goal of this study was to define the quality of the host innate immune response in the context of anti-toxin mAbs therapy. At day 2 post-infection, <em>C. difficile</em>-infected, mAbs-treated mice had significantly less disease compared to isotype-treated mice despite remaining colonized with <em>C. difficile</em>. <em>C. difficile</em>-infected mAbs-treated mice still exhibited marked neutrophil infiltration and induction of a subset of proinflammatory cytokines within the intestinal lamina propria following infection that is comparable to isotype-treated mice. Furthermore, both mAbs and isotype-treated mice had an increase in IL-22-producing ILCs in the intestine following infection. MAbs-treated mice exhibited increased infiltration of eosinophils in the intestinal lamina propria, which has been previously reported to promote a protective host response following <em>C. difficile</em> infection. These findings show that activation of host protective mechanisms remain intact in the context of monoclonal antibody-mediated toxin neutralization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8050,"journal":{"name":"Anaerobe","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 102859"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1075996424000428/pdfft?md5=770915a065aaf72fe74e7ea8f55c3ff8&pid=1-s2.0-S1075996424000428-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140848350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
