Oral administration of a small amount of antigen conjugated cholera toxin B subunit is known to induce tolerance to the antigen. In the present experiments, whether nasal administration of allergen conjugated to Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin B subunit (LTB) induced tolerance was examined in BALB/c mice. A single administration of a small amount of LTB-coupled ovalbumin (OVA) suppressed the induction of delayed-type hypersensitivity and IgE antibody responses to OVA which was administered parenterally after nasal administration of LTB-coupled OVA. The antigen-specific suppression was abrogated by the addition of the holotoxin to LTB-coupled OVA. The suppression, induced by nasal administration with a small amount of allergen conjugated to a mucosa-binding molecule, may be applicable for preventing the development of allergy.
