The cellular immune response to an experimental infection by Haemophilus parasuis, the etiological agent of Glässer’s disease in pigs, was characterized studying changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in colostrum-deprived pigs. Five groups were studied, four of those were previously immunized with different formulations and the fifth was maintained as non-immunized control. All groups were challenged with 5 × 109 CFU of H. parasuis serotype 5. The non-commercial bacterin conferred a complete protection, while the OMP-vaccine and the exposure to a subletal dose of 105 CFU of H. parasuis protected only partially, and the recombinant Tbp B-vaccine induced no protection. PBMC were analyzed using monoclonal antibodies against porcine CD45+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8α+, CD25+, CD4+ naïve, αIgM+ and SWC3+ cells in single-colour fluorescence, and CD4+/CD8α+ and CD8α+/CD8β+ combinations in two-colour fluorescence. The different groups showed no significant changes in PBMC subsets following vaccination, and only minor changes were encountered after challenge, consisting mainly of significant increases (P < 0.05) in the relative proportions of monocytes and granulocytes (SWC3+) and B cells (αIgM+), as well as a significant reduction in CD3+ cells (P < 0.05). These changes were similar for the five groups compared, except for the significant increase of CD25+ cells, which was only observed for the bacterin-vaccinated group. These results suggest an increase of trafficking of inflammatory cells and the onset of the adaptive antibody response against H. parasuis infection; in addition, the blood cellular response developed by the different groups was not relevant to protection.
