Peptides and multiple antigen peptides from Schistosoma mansoni glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase: preparation, immunogenicity and immunoprotective capacity in C57BL/6 mice.

Four monoepitopic MAPs (MAP A, B, C and E) and one bis-diepitopic MAP B-E derived fromthe primary sequence of Schistosoma mansoni glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, previously tested in BALB/c mice, were examined for their immunogenicity and protective capacity in C57BL/6 mice. Despite multimerization into MAPs, MAP Aand MAP C were poorly immunogenic. In contrast toBALB/c mice, MAP E was non-immunogenic in C57BL/6 mice. Peptide B in the form of MAP B orbis-diepitopic MAPB-E elicited immune responses in C57BL/6 mice that were associated with a significant decrease in worm burden. The MAPs were prepared by the stepwise solid-phase peptide synthesis using Boc/Bzl chemistry, successfully purified on the RP-HPLC column and characterized by RP-HPLC, HPCE and MALDI-TOF MS techniques. A general strategy for MAPs purification is discussed here and the purification of MAP Band MAP E is documented in detail.     

流行性出血热地鼠肾细胞灭活疫苗人体试用细胞免疫反应观察

观察了20位志愿者在接种试验性流行性出血热(EHF)地鼠肾细胞(GHKC)双价灭活疫苗后的细胞免疫反应,并以其体液免疫反应作对照观察。用淋巴细胞转化试验测定细胞免疫水平。结果首针疫苗接种后42天和56天,特异性刺激指数(SSI)和非特异性刺激指数(NSI)均较免疫前显著增高(P_(SSI)<0.001;P_(NSI)<0.02),免疫后SSI累计阳转率为100％,NSI累计阳转率为60％,免疫后6个月二者均降低至正常水平。免疫后56天测定抗体,荧光抗体阳转率为100％;微量感染性中和试验表明,针对家鼠型病毒L99株中和抗体阳转率为95％,而针对野鼠型病毒JR株阳转率为65％。     

A novel immunoassay with direct relevance to protection against organophosphate poisoning

Antiparaoxon immune sera were employed in a new immunoassay based on competition between acetylcholinesterase and antibodies for the binding ofparaoxon. Unlike radioimmunoassay, the new assay described herein can be extended to predict the feasibility of antibodies to confer in vivo protection of acetylcholinesterase against organophosphate poisoning. The toxicity of paraoxon was reduced in mice which were pre-injected with the immune sera.     

应用乙型肝炎疫苗阻断围产期乙型肝炎病毒的母婴传播

993名HBsAg携带者母亲所生新生儿,以768名新生儿为试验组,226名新生儿为对照组,试验组分别注射HBsAg血源性氢氧化铝佐剂疫苗,乙型肝炎高价免疫球蛋白(HBlg)或疫苗加HBIg,对照组注射安慰剂,所用疫苗为国产81-2、82-1-2、83-1和美国NIHA9,观察表明,出生后六个月,试验组各批疫苗的保护率为60～93％,以83-1批为最高;疫苗加HBIg的保护效果与疫苗相似,HBIg组亦有70％的保护效果,以上结果证明单独应用HBsAg疫苗阻断母婴传播的效果是理想的。     

Taenia solium: cell reactions to the larva (Cysticercus cellulosae) in naturally parasitized, immunized hogs

In hogs naturally infected with Taenia solium larvae (i.e., Cysticercus cellulosae), we studied the host response induced by antigens obtained from the larvae. Histopathological studies of cysticerci removed after 4 and 8 weeks of immunization showed an intense inflammatory reaction surrounding the larvae. The response was greater in the 8-week specimens. A dense layer of eosinophils was in close contact with the external membrane of the bladder wall and, in several cases, the eosinophils had infiltrated this tegument. Many eosinophils were seen in the spiral canal of larvae. This infiltration by eosinophils increased with time. Preparations from the 8-week samples showed many degenerated and disrupted eosinophils whose granules were found in close contact with the outer membrane of the larval tegument and, in some cases, had entered through the broken surface of this structure. More than 90% of the larvae were found in various stages of degeneration; the rest were completely destroyed and surrounded by a mass of eosinophils. After immunization, peripheral blood eosinophilia increased to 17%, whereas the eosinophilia of the control hog was 4% throughout the study. The larval worms removed from control hogs showed intact structures, with a low degree of infiltration by eosinophils and a discrete inflammatory reaction surrounding the bladder wall of the larvae.     

Trypanosoma congolense. I. Clinical observations of experimentally infected cattle

The course of disease was studied in 8 cattle infected with Trypanosoma congolense. Although the onset of patency was dependent on the numbers of infecting organisms, the duration of the infection was not. High fevers were present on the day of or the day after initial patency. Succeeding peaks of parasitemia, and a progressive weight loss of over 30% occurred. A decrease in packed cell volume (PCV) beginning the first week after infection was observed. Early in the course of the developing anemia, many polychromatophilic erythrocytes and occasional normoblasts were found in the blood. A leucopenia persisted for the duration of the disease. Total serum protein concentrations fell sharply during the first 5 weeks of infection, then gradually increased to low normal levels. Serum albumin levels followed a similar pattern for the first 5 weeks, and remained at a relatively low level. Although gamma globulin levels also declined during the first 5 weeks, their levels gradually surpassed those of preinfection samples. No marked changes in serum glucose were noted. A mild elevation of serum urea nitrogen values occurred early during infection, but subsided. The animals dying early after infection developed elevated total bilirubin levels.

少年人群接种乙肝疫苗后七年随访观察

对７９名ＨＢＶ标志阴性少年人群,以乙肝疫苗１０μｇ×３的免疫剂量和０、１、２月的免疫程序进行接种,对其抗－ＨＢｓ免疫应答和临床保护效果作了为期７年的定人随访。结果表明,抗－ＨＢｓ阳转率在免后三个月时为１００％,均值为３０８４ＭＩＵ／ｍｌ。至免后８４个月时疫苗接受者中仍有５５．７％的抗－ＨＢｓ水平≥１０ＭＩＵ／ｍｌ。６例检出抗－ＨＢｓ,其中５例的抗－ＨＢｓ持续处于高水平。全部观察对象无一例检出ＨＢｓＡｇ或发生临床肝炎。少年接种乙肝血源疫苗至少７年内可具有保护性抗体。故在此期内不需加强免疫。
