Edwardsiella tarda is a severe aquaculture pathogen that can infect many different fish species cultured worldwide. Et49 is a major E. tarda antigen with weak immunoprotective potential. In this study, using Et49 as an example vaccine, the adjuvanticity of Freund's incomplete adjuvant (FIA), aluminum hydroxide, and aluminum phosphate adjuvant were evaluated in a Japanese flounder model. The results showed that the presence of FIA, aluminum hydroxide, and aluminum phosphate adjuvant increased the relative percent of survival of Et49-vaccinated fish by 47%, 19%, and 35%, respectively. Fish vaccinated with FIA-adjuvanted Et49 exhibited longer persistence of vaccine at the injection site and more severe intra-abdominal lesions than fish vaccinated with aluminum-adjuvanted Et49. Both aluminum adjuvants and, to a lesser degree, FIA augmented the production of specific serum antibodies, which reached the highest levels at 6 and 7 weeks post-vaccination. Passive immunization of Japanese flounder with sera from fish vaccinated with aluminum-and FIA-adjuvanted Et49 induced no protection against lethal E. tarda challenge. Examination of the transcription profile of immune-related genes showed that vaccination with aluminum-adjuvanted Et49 significantly enhanced the expression of the genes that are associated mainly with humoral immunity, whereas vaccination with FIA-adjuvanted Et49 induced the expression of a much broader spectrum of genes that are likely to be involved in humoral and innate cellular immunity. These results provide new insights to the action mechanisms of FLA and aluminum adjuvants in Japanese flounder and may be useful for the selection of adjuvant for vaccine formulations intended for Japanese flounder.
