Transcytosis of IgG01:15

Transcytosis of IgG

Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...
Mucosal Barrier of the Stomach01:25

Mucosal Barrier of the Stomach

The gastric glands contain parietal cells that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) for digestion. The cells secrete HCl because it is highly corrosive and essential for breaking down food. To achieve this, they secrete hydrogen and chloride ions into the lumen of the gastric glands, which combine to form HCl.
Within parietal cells, carbonic acid is first formed through the reaction of water and carbon dioxide. The dissociation of carbonic acid releases bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate...

Summary

An oral vaccine using inactivated nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) significantly reduced acute bronchitis and bacterial colonization in Papua New Guinea adults. This study highlights a promising intervention for airway infections in vulnerable populations.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Studies investigated airway protection against bacterial infections in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
  • Focus was on mucosal immunoglobulin production and airway response to an oral vaccine.
  • Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) was the target pathogen.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the mucosal IgA response to NTHi antigens in PNG populations.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of an oral NTHi vaccine in adults with chronic airways disease.
  • To understand the implications for controlling airway pathology in PNG.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of mucosal IgA responses between PNG and Australian populations.
  • Administration of an oral vaccine containing inactivated NTHi to PNG adults with chronic airways disease.

  • Monitoring of acute bronchitic episodes and NTHi colonization density.

    • Main Results:

    • The mucosal IgA response to NTHi antigens was blunted in PNG individuals compared to Australians.
    • Oral NTHi vaccination led to a 50% reduction in acute bronchitic episodes in PNG adults.
    • A 3-log reduction in NTHi colonization density was observed, persisting for approximately 10 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite a blunted IgA response, oral NTHi vaccination is effective in reducing acute bronchitis and NTHi colonization in PNG adults.
    • Findings suggest potential mechanisms for airway protection and broader control strategies for PNG's unique environment.
    • This research offers insights into managing bacterial airway infections through vaccination in resource-limited settings.
