We studied the induction of antigen-specific IgA memory B cells (BM) in volunteers who received live attenuated Shigella flexneri 2a vaccines. Subjects ingested a single oral dose of 107, 108 or 109 CFU of S. flexneri 2a with deletions in guaBA (CVD 1204) or in guaBA, set and sen (CVD 1208). Antigen-specific serum and stool antibody responses to LPS and Ipa B were measured on days 0, 7, 14, 28 and 42. IgA BM cells specific to LPS, Ipa B and total IgA were assessed on days 0 and 28. We show the induction of significant LPS-specific IgA BM cells in anti-LPS IgA seroresponders. Positive correlations were found between anti-LPS IgA BM cells and anti-LPS IgA in serum and stool; IgA BM cell responses to IpaB were also observed. These BM cell responses are likely play an important role in modulating the magnitude and longevity of the humoral response.
