The effect of dietary vomitoxin on the serum IgA and IgG responses to two model intestinal antigens, casein and cholera toxin (CT), were assessed in 4 experimental groups: (1) mice fed casein-based diet, (2) mice fed casein-based diet containing 25 ppm vomitoxin, (3) mice fed casein-based diet and immunized with CT, and (4) mice fed casein-based diet containing 25 ppm vomitoxin and immunized with CT. Unimmunized and CT-immunized mice that were fed vomitoxin exhibited increased levels of total serum IgA relative to matched control animals fed the standard diet. Relative concentrations of casein-specific IgA were greater in both unimmunized mice and CT-immunized mice fed standard diet with vomitoxin than in matched controls fed standard diet only. CT-specific serum IgA in CT-immunized mice was not affected by vomitoxin feeding, but relative levels of CT-specific IgA were higher in unimmunized mice fed vomitoxin than in unimmunized mice fed standard diet. Both casein- and CT-specific serum IgG were depressed in mice fed vomitoxin. Significant differences in total, casein-specific and CT-specific IgA within the intestinal contents were not observed between CT-immunized mice fed vomitoxin and those fed the control diet. The results suggest that vomitoxin altered regulation of the normal immunoglobulin response to intestinal antigens and that this was manifested in the systemic compartment.
