Serum antibody responses of cattle to iron-regulated outer membrane proteins of Pasteurella haemolytica A1.
Serum antibody responses to the 70, 77, and 100 kDa iron-regulated outer membrane proteins (IROMPs) of Pasteurella haemolytica A1 were studied in cattle vaccinated with outer membrane protein (OMP) enriched outer membrane fraction, IROMP-enriched outer membrane fraction or live P. haemolytica. Vaccination with an IROMP-enriched outer membrane fraction stimulated antibodies to the 70 kDa IROMP, whereas vaccination with live P. haemolytica stimulated antibodies to the 70 and 77 kDa IROMPs. In a second experiment, sera were used from cattle vaccinated with live or killed P. haemolytica and subsequently challenged. Significant antibody responses to OMP- and IROMP-enriched outer membrane fractions were detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for cattle vaccinated with bacterins or live P. haemolytica. Regression analysis indicated significant correlations between high antibody responses to the OMP- or IROMP-enriched fraction and resistance to challenge. Antibody responses to the 70 and 77 kDa IROMPs were significantly greater for the live P. haemolytica vaccinates than for PBS control vaccinates. There was no significant correlation between antibody responses to individual IROMPs and resistance or susceptibility to challenge. These data suggest that antibodies to IROMPs alone are probably not responsible for protective immunity against pneumonic pasteurellosis. Antibodies to IROMPs, however, in conjunction with antibodies to other surface antigens probably enhance immunity to P. haemolytica challenge.
