Abstract

Introduction: The human gut mucosal cellular response to oral vaccination has never been directly assessed. We studied the cognate cellular immune response to the live oral typhoid Ty21a vaccine in the gut mucosa of human volunteers, and compared it with that seen in peripheral blood.

Methods: 27 healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to a vaccinated (n=14) or a control (n=13) group for Ty21a typhoid vaccine. Peripheral blood was collected from all volunteers prior to vaccination and 18 days following immunisation or recruitment. Mucosal samples (15 jumbo biopsies from duodenum (n=25) ± colon (n=18)) were collected from all volunteers at gastroscopy +/− sigmoidoscopy on day 18. Mononuclear cells were isolated from mucosal tissue by disruption and collagenase digestion, and from blood by differential centrifugation. Cells were stimulated with Ty21a or control antigens, and stained for surface phenotype and intracellular cytokine production. Antigen-specific IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-2 production was determined
