Adjuvants that can improve mucosal vaccine efficacy are much warranted. In this comparative study between cholera toxin (CT) and immune-stimulating complexes (ISCOM) we found that, contrary to CT, ovalbumin (OVA)-ISCOM were poor inducers of mucosal anti-OVA IgA responses, but induced similar or better systemic immunity following oral immunizations. The addition of CT to the oral OVA-ISCOM protocol did not stimulate local anti-OVA IgA immunity, nor did it change the quality or magnitude of the systemic responses. Both vectors recruited strong innate immunity, but only OVA-ISCOM could directly induce IL-12, demonstrable at the protein and mRNA levels. CT had no inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide/IFN-gamma-induced IL-12 mRNA expression or IL-12 production. Furthermore, adjuvanticity of CT was unaffected in IL-12-deficient mice, while OVA-ISCOM showed partly impaired adjuvant effects by the lack of IL-12. CT abrogated the induction of oral tolerance stimulated by antigen feeding in these mice. In addition, CT did not alter TGF-beta levels, suggesting that the immunomodulating effect of CT was independent of IL-12 as well as TGF-beta production. Taken together, these findings indicate that mucosal adjuvanticity of CT and ISCOM are differently dependent on IL-12, suggesting that separate and distinct antigen-processing pathways are involved.
