We addressed the effects of two cytokines, IL-6 and IL-12, derived from APCs, for the development of mucosal IgA Ab responses following their nasal delivery with the protein vaccine tetanus toxoid (TT). Mice treated nasally with IL-6 and TT showed higher TT-specific serum IgG (mainly IgG1 and IgG2b) Ab responses than did control mice, but exhibited no IgE and negligible secretory IgA (S-IgA) Ab responses. In contrast, IL-12 administered nasally with TT not only induced sharp increases in TT-specific serum IgG (mainly IgG1 and IgG2b) and IgA, but also elevated mucosal S-IgA Ab responses. Coadministration of IL-6 and IL-12 with TT did not enhance the mucosal or serum Ab responses over those seen with IL-12 alone. TT-specific CD4+ T cells from mice given TT with IL-6 or IL-12 produced higher levels of IFN-{gamma}, IL-6, and IL-10 than did those from control mice, but only negligible levels of IL-4 and IL-5. In summary, both intranasal IL-6 and IL-12 induced serum Abs that protected mice from systemic challenge with TT, whereas only IL-12 induced mucosal S-IgA Ab responses. The significance of IL-12-induced Th1-type responses for regulation of both mucosal and systemic immunity is discussed.
