We have investigated the effects of IL-12 and cholera toxin (CT) on the immune response to tetanus toxoid (TT) given by intranasal or oral routes. CT inhibited IL-12-induced IFN-gamma secretion both in vivo and in vitro. Intranasal administration of IL-12 to mice nasally immunized with the combined vaccine of TT and CT resulted in increased TT-specific IgG2a and IgG3 Abs, while IgG1 and IgE Ab responses were markedly reduced. This shift of the CT-induced immune response toward Th1 type was associated with TT-specific CD4+ T cells secreting IFN-gamma and reduced levels of Th2-type cytokines (i.e., IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, and IL-10). In contrast, intranasal IL-12 enhanced the CT-induced serum IgG1 and IgE Ab responses in mice given the combined vaccine orally. IFN-gamma secretion by TT-specific CD4+ T cells was also enhanced; however, Th2-type cytokine responses were predominant. Mucosal secretory IgA responses to oral or nasal vaccines were not affected by intranasal IL-12. Thus, intranasal IL-12 delivery influences Th cell subset development in mucosal inductive sites that are dependent on the route of vaccine delivery.
