Humoral and cell-mediated immune responses in non-pregnant heifers following infection and vaccination with Brucella abortus
Humoral and cell-mediated-immune responses to Brucella abortus were observed in non-pregnant heifers following infection alone; infection followed by vaccination; vaccination followed by infection; and vaccination alone. The humoral responses, as measured by the Rose Bengal test (RBT), complement fixation test (CFT), indirect haemolysis test (IHLT) and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tended to be immediate and transient following infection alone, infection following vaccination and vaccination alone. However, when vaccination was superimposed on infection, reactions were maintained for at least 2 years. The cell-mediated-immune (CMI) responses were assessed by the lymphocyte stimulation test. The responses occurred after the humoral responses had peaked and were present for periods of 6-22 weeks. However, the level of stimulation was greater following infection than following vaccination, and the response when vaccination was superimposed on infection was present for less than 6 months
