We tested whether a Virulence Associated Protein A (VapA)/CpG vaccine against R. equi would impact the production of IL-10, IFN-γ and TNF-α in lung tissue and fluid samples, alter expression of TLR2 and TLR4 and alter their association with the lipid rafts in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) cells.

We report adaptation of previous protocols to isolate plasma membrane fractions from BAL cells and identification of lipid raft fractions based on the presence of flotillin-1 and GM-1 and absence of transferrin receptor.

TLR2 and TLR4 were restricted to plasma membrane fractions 7–9 of alveolar cells collected from vaccinated foals before and after the challenge.

Taken together, we modified previous protocols to isolate plasma membrane fractions from BAL cells of foals and report that the vaccination with a VapA/CPG vaccine increases association of TLR2 and TLR4 with lipid raft fractions and alters expression of TNF-α and IL-10.

The data point to a subtle effect of vaccination on the association of TLR2 and TLR4 with lipid rafts in BAL cells.
