Opioid analgesics have immunomodulatory properties, which often result in immunosuppression. Sustained-release buprenorphine (SR-Bup) has recently become available as an analgesic for pain management in mice, and little is known regarding potential effects of SR-Bup on the murine immune response. To this end, we immunized female CD1 mice with ovalbumin in complete Freud adjuvant and then treated them with either saline, SR-Bup, Bup-HCl, or SR-vehicle (SR-Veh) for 18 d. Splenocytes were isolated for culture and stimulation to assess cytokine responses, and blood was collected to determine serum antibody responses to ovalbumin. In all treatment groups, levels of IL10, TNFα, and IFNγ increased in ovalbumin-stimulated splenocytes compared with unstimulated splenocytes. Cytokine responses after stimulation did not differ between treatment groups except for IL10, which was significantly higher in SR-Bup-treated mice compared with those given saline or Bup-HCl. The antibody response was significantly increased after immunization but did not differ across treatment groups, except that the response to SR-Veh was lower. These results suggest that the immunomodulatory effects of prolonged treatment with SR-Bup on innate and adaptive immunity are negligible.
