Abstract
To investigate enhanced disease associated with a formalin-inactivated (FI) respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, we studied the pulmonary inflammatory response to RSV in BALB/c mice immunized with live RSV, FI-RSV, or combinations of the two. After RSV challenge, the number of granular cells, the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ lymphocytes, and the level of Th2-like cytokine mRNAs in the bronchoalveolar lavage specimens in mice immunized first with live RSV and then with FI-RSV were lower than that in FI-RSV-immunized mice and close to that in live RSV-immunized mice. These data suggest that prior live RSV infection prevents most of the enhanced inflammatory response seen in FI-RSV-immunized mice and might explain lack of enhanced disease in older FI-RSV-immunized children. A live RSV vaccine might similarly decrease the risk of enhanced disease with non-live RSV vaccines.
