Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:35:50 +0100 C3 contributes to the cross-protective immunity induced by Babesia gibsoni phosphoriboprotein P0 against a lethal B. rodhaini infection http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1778145&cid=s_33911_141_f&fid=33911&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1365-3024.2007.01026.x We have studied the impact of complement component 3 (C3) deficiency on the progression of lethal Babesia rodhaini infection in immune mice. A B. gibsoni ribosomal phosphoprotein P0 (BgP0) previously reported to be a cross-protective antigen against Babesia infection was used to immunize C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) and C3-deficient (C3[ndash]/[ndash]) mice. Test mice were immunized intraperitoneally (i.p.) with recombinant BgP0 (rBgP0), while controls either were immunized with PBS or did not receive any immunization. Following the immunization regime, test WT mice induced a specifically strong humoral response consisting of mixed immunoglobulins IgG1 and IgG2 associated with high production of IFN-[gamma] in the supernatant of splenocytes. While test C3[ndash]/[ndash] mice had significantly de...

Spleen samples were obtained from 72 stray dogs from an endemic area of visceral leishmaniasis. The animals were grouped into four categories as follows: (i) potentially resistant to visceral leishmaniasis, with a positive leishmanin skin test result, and negative splenic culture for Leishmania parasites (ii) potentially susceptible to visceral leishmaniasis, with a negative leishmanin skin test and positive splenic culture for Leishmania (iii) infected with undefined susceptibility status, with a positive leishmanin skin test and positive splenic culture for Leishmania, and (iv) noninfected, with a negative leishmanin skin test, negative splenic culture for L...

Fresh serum from nonimmunized fish showed a moderate ability to kill the parasite, which indicates that P. dicentrarchi is able to activate the alternative complement pathway (ACP). Fresh serum from immunized fish, which contained high levels of specific antibodies, showed greater killing activity. Heat-inactivated serum, with or without antibodies, and antibodies alone did not have any effect on parasite viability, which indicates that serum mainly kills P. dicentrarchi through the antibody-mediated classical complement pathway (CCP). Ascitic fluid from infected fish, but containing low levels of specific antibod...

However, the exact role of IFN-[gamma] in the pathway (s) leading to CM has not yet been described. Here, we used 129P2Sv/ev mice which develop CM between 7 and 14 days post-infection with PbA. In this strain, both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were involved in the effector phase of CM. When 129P2Sv/ev mice deficient in the IFN-[gamma] receptor [alpha] chain (IFN-[gamma]R1) were infected with PbA, CM did not occur. Migration of leucocytes to the brain at the time of CM was observed in wild type (WT) but not in deficient mice. However, in the latter, there was an accumulation of T cells in the lungs. Analysis of chemokines and their receptors in W...

In high transmission areas, individuals can be exposed to more than two infective mosquito bites daily. Their exposure to Plasmodium sporozoites, therefore, is in the form of small and frequent doses. This is very different from individuals studied in controlled immunization trials where the delivery of large numbers of radiation-attenuated sporozoites in a limited number of doses can induce sterile protective immunity. Using irradiated mosquitoes infected with Plasmodium yoelii 17XNL, we tested whether daily bites from a few mosquitoes can induce a protective immune response in mice. This immunization strategy successfully induced a protective response, preven...

It is generally accepted that such a defect in lymphocyte function could contribute to the failure of the immune system to eliminate filarial nematodes. For this reason, understanding the mechanism underlying lymphocyte 'hyporesponsiveness' is an important goal for immunologists who study filarial nematodes. Thus, although there has long been an interest in answering questions such as what stage(s) of the nematode causes hyporesponsiveness, more recently, lymphocyte hyporesponsiveness has been increasingly studied at the molecular level. The result of this is that we are now beginning to learn much of the nature and cause ...
