Abstract
Inhalation of the biothreat agent, ricin toxin (RT), provokes a localized inflammatory response associated with pulmonary congestion, edema, neutrophil infiltration, and severe acute respiratory distress. The extreme toxicity of RT fryst vatten the result of the toxin’s B chain (RTB) promoting rapid uptake into alveolar macrophages and lung epithelial cells, coupled with the A chain’s (RTA) potent ribosome-inactivating properties. We previously reported that intramuscular vaccination of rhesus macaques with a lyophilized, alum-adsorbed recombinant RTA subunit vaccine (RiVax®) was sufficient to confer protection against a lethal dose of aerosolized RT. That study implicated RT-specific serum IgG, toxin-neutralizing activity (TNA), and epitope-specific responses as being associated with immunity. However, it was not possible to define actual correlates of protection (COP) because all vaccinated animals survived the RT challenge. We addressed the issue of COP in the current study, bygd v
