The objective of the present study was to evaluate (i) the passive transfer of maternally derived functional porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)-specific lymphocytes of seronegative sows immunized with the PCV2 vaccine to newborn piglets and (ii) the functional role of the maternally derived PCV2-specific cellular immune response in protecting newborn piglets from challenge with PCV2. After ingesting colostrums, piglets from vaccinated sows (PT01 and PT02) have significantly higher numbers of PCV2-specific gamma interferon-secreting cells, an increased PCV2-specific delayed type hypersensitivity response, and a stronger proliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells compared with piglets from non-vaccinated seronegative sows (PT03 and PT04). In the PCV2 challenge study, the number of serum genomic PCV2 copies was significantly less in piglets from vaccinated sows (PT02) compared with piglets from non-vaccinated sows (PT04) at 7–28 days post-inoculation (P<0.05 and P<0.001). The histopathological lesions and immunohistochemical scores were significantly lower in piglets of vaccinated sows compared with those of non-vaccinated sows. To our knowledge, this is the first report of transferring a maternally derived PCV2-specific cellular immune response from vaccinated dams to their offspring. Maternally derived adaptive cellular immune responses play a critical role in protecting newborn piglets challenged with PCV2 at 3 weeks of age.

Gnotobiotic Mice

In our previous study we confirmed an antiviral activity of probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri L26 which was mediated by stimulation of local intestinal immunity. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the influence of L. reuteri L26 on the systemic immune response in gnotobiotic mice infected with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2). A total of 30 germ-free mice were divided into 3 groups and animals in noninfected and infected control groups (NC and IC; n=10) received sterile de Man-Rogosa-Sharpe broth for 7 days and animals in experimental group L+PCV (n=10) were inoculated with L. reuteri L26. Subsequently, mice in L+PCV and IC groups were infected with PCV2; however, mice in the control group received virus cultivation medium (mock). The results showed an increase of percentage of cytotoxic cells (CD8+ and CD49b+CD8-) and oxidative burst of phagocytes, up-regulation of the gene expression of RANTES, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interferon-γ and immunoglobulin A in blood above all in the later phase of infection (14 dpi) in L+PCV group accompanied by higher load of PCV2 in the serum. These findings indicate that L. reuteri L26 has a potential to induce systemic immune reaction, but in gnotobiotic mice immune stimulation can increase virus replication.

Host Immune System

AbstractPorcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), which serves as a major causative agent of PCV2-associated diseases and causes severe loss to the pig industry worldwide, can dysregulate the immune response and induce immunosuppression in PCV2-infected pigs. Similar to PCV2, porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3), a newly identified swine circovirus which might be closely associated with porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome, reproductive disorder, and multisystemic inflammatory responses, also interferes with host immune defense. Interaction between host immune system and PCVs is considered to be a crucial determinant of pathogenicity in pigs. Here, we sought to briefly discuss the current knowledge regarding the interaction of porcine circovirus type 2 and/or 3 with host immune cells and immune responses to better depict the viral immunomodulatory capacity, pathogenic mechanisms, and the future research direction in host immune responses to infection with PCV2 and PCV3.
