Chronically isolated Thiry-Vella (T-V) ileal loops in rabbits were used to study the local and systemic immune response to purified cholera toxin (CT). Immunization consisted of intraloop (i.l.), subcutaneous (s.c.), or combined i.l. and s.c. inoculation of CT. Fluid from the loops and sera were tested for neutralization of CT by the blueing test and for relative content of isotype-specific (immunoglobulins A [IgA] and G [IgG]) anti-CT. To demonstrate protection against CT, fluid production by the chronic T-V loops was measured after challenge with CT; an "acute" loop prepared from adjacent intestine at the time of challenge was also tested in some animals. The highest neutralizing titers in loop fluids were found in animals receiving i.l. or i.l. and s.c. inoculations, whereas titers in sera were highest in rabbits receiving s.c. or i.l. and s.c. inoculations. IgA anti-CT in fluids became greatest after i.l. inoculation alone and was lowest in s.c. animals. Combined s.c. and i.l. immunization was accompanied by reduced content of IgA anti-CT in fluids as compared with that obtained with i.l. inoculation alone. This finding strongly suggested a suppressive effect on local immunization by s.c. inoculation. While this suppression may have been due to a direct (toxigenic) effect of CT on lymphocytes, an immunogenic mechanism, probably mediated through suppressor T cells, is favored. Little IgG anti-CT was detected in any loop fluids, but high levels were found in sera after two s.c. inoculations or four i.l. inoculations. Neutralization titers for the fluid specimens showed much better correlation with IgA anti-CT values than with IgG anti-CT values. The chronic and acute T-V loops showed protection against fluid production after exposure to CT in systemically and locally immunized animals. However, IgG anti-CT usually appeared in both loops; leakage of serum antibodies because of surgical manipulation was felt, therefore, to invalidate these protection results as a demonstration of local immunity. In challenge studies in undisturbed chronic loops, only local immunization alone was found to result in definite protection.
