A comparison of the effect on the immune responses in gnotobiotic lambs was made between an iscom vaccine prepared from recombinant rotavirus VP6 protein, an inactivated rotavirus/iscom-matrix vaccine and a vaccine comprising inactivated rotavirus alone. All three vaccines induced immunological priming and some degree of protection was observed after a single oral dose. However, different immune responses were induced in response to a virulent infection. The group vaccinated with the rotavirus/iscom-matrix vaccine showed a Th2-like response characterised by rotavirus-specific antibodies and a down-regulation of IFNgamma in jejunal Peyer's patches. Both Th1-like and Th2-like immune responses were induced in the group receiving the VP6 vaccine as seen by significantly increased expressions of IFNgamma and IL-6 in the jejunal Peyer's patch together with an increased percentage of CD8+ T cells in the intestine and rotavirus-specific antibodies at mucosal surfaces. Iscom vaccines given orally have the ability to induce both Th1-like and Th2-like immune responses in a ruminant model.
