title: Serum IgG response in calves to the putative pneumonic virulence factor Gs60 of Mannheimia haemolytica A1.
abstract: Bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis vaccines incorporate various antigens of Mannheimia haemolytica, including the acknowledged virulence factor leukotoxin (Lkt), and Gs60, a surface lipoprotein. To examine the role of antibodies to Gs60 in protection, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for retrospective analysis of serum samples from previous trials in which vaccines containing native or recombinant Gs60 were administered parenterally. The analysis revealed a positive correlation between the titer of antibodies to Gs60 and protection against experimental challenge in both vaccinates and naturally exposed controls. There was a strong correlation between production of IgG antibodies to Gs60 and Lkt neutralizing antibodies. Analysis of the relationship between the serum antibody titers and resistance to experimental challenge using linear statistical models revealed a significant association between prechallenge titers of serum antibodies to Lkt and protection. Further analysis suggested that antibodies against Gs60 were beneficial when Lkt neutralizing antibody titers were low.
