An agglutination test has been developed for the detection of rabies antibodies after human vaccination. The rabies agglutination test (RAT) is based on the capability of specific antibody to agglutinate sensitized polystyrene (or latex) beads. In the RAT, latex beads were coated, in a first step, with inactivated and purified rabies virus (PV strain adapted and propagated on BHK-21 cells) and, in a second step, with bovine serum albumin. Negative control beads were coated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) only. To test for human antibody, several microliters of serum were mixed on a glass slide with an equal volume of virus-sensitized beads and the mixture was gently agitated. After a few minutes, agglutination was visible with sera which had been characterized as positive by the virus neutralization antibody (VNAb) technique. No agglutination was observed with negative sera tested with virus-coated beads or with positive sera tested with BSA-coated beads. Virus-sensitized beads were agglutinated when the virus neutralizing antibody titres were equal to or greater than 2.5 international units per ml (IU/ml) in human sera. The concordance between the RAT results and VNAb titres was about 97% when 2.5 IU/ml was taken as the cut off value for determining the positive sera with the VNAb technique. The possibility that clinicians might use the RAT as a simple means to determine sero-conversion at the end of the post-exposure treatment of patients is discussed. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies reactive with defined T lymphocyte surface antigens were covalently coupled to protein A-Sepharose beads using the bifunctional imidoester, dimethyl pimelimidate. Sepharose-immobilized antibody reactive with T3 induced the proliferation of resting T lymphocytes in the presence of either recombinant interleukin 2 or phorbol myristate acetate. When monoclonal antibodies reactive with T3 and T4 were coupled to the same Sepharose bead (hereafter designated Sepharose (T3:T4)), proliferation was enhanced an average of three-fold. Similarly prepared Sepharose beads coupled to anti-T3 and anti-T8 also enhanced proliferation over that observed with anti-T3 alone. Sepharose (T3:T4) similarly increased the proliferation of T4+ lymphocytes and a T4+ clone but failed to enhance the proliferation of T8+ lymphocytes. The increased proliferation of T4+ lymphocytes resulted from a preferential activation of the T4+2H4- helper population over the T4+2H4+ suppressor-inducer population. The enhanced proliferation induced by Sepharose (T3:T4) could be completely inhibited by soluble anti-T4. These results suggest that perturbation of T3 may be a minimal signal for T cell activation and that the assembly of a multimeric complex including T3 and T4 may be required for optimal T cell activation. 相似文献

A sandwich format immunochromatographic assay for detecting foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotypes was developed. In
this rapid test, affinity purified polyclonal antibodies from Guinea pigs which were immunized with sucking-mouse adapted
FMD virus (A/AV88(L) strain) were conjugated to colloidal gold beads and used as the capture antibody, and affinity purified
polyclonal antibodies from rabbits which were immunized with cell-culture adapted FMD virus (A/CHA/09 strain) were used as
detector antibody. On the nitrocellulose membrane of the immunochromatographic strip, the capture antibody was laid on a sample
pad, the detector antibody was printed at the test line(T) and goat anti-guinea pigs IgG antibodies were immobilized to the
control line(C). The lower detection limit of the test for a FMDV 146S antigen is 11.7ng/ml as determined in serial tests
after the strip device was assembled and the assay condition optimization. No cross reactions were found with FMDV serotype
C, Swine vesicular disease (SVD), Vesicular stomatiti svirus (VSV) and vesicular exanthema of swine virus (VES) viral antigens
with this rapid test. Clinically, the diagnostic sensitivity of this test for FMDV serotypes A was 88.7% which is as same
as an indirect-sandwich ELISA. The specificity of this strip test was 98.2% and is comparable to the 98.7% obtained with indirect-sandwich
ELISA. This rapid strip test is simple, easy and fast for clinical testing on field sites; no special instruments and skills
are required, and the result can be obtained within 15 min. To our knowledge, this is the first rapid immunochromatogarpic
assay for serotype A of FMDV. 相似文献

Mitogenic effect on human lymphocytes of insolubilized anti-immunoglobulins. I. Specificity of the stimulating agent 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The mitogenic response of peripheral blood lymphocytes to various anti-immunoglobulin reagents has been studied by measuring incorporation of a radioactive thymidine into macromolecules. Coupling of anti-F(ab')2 or anti-light chain antibodies to Sepharose beads leads to a 5-fold increase in their mitogenic capacity with 50-fold less antibodies per culture. Pepsin-digested F(ab')2 fragments had a mitogenic capacity similar to intact antibody molecules. Anti-F(ab')2 antibodies purified by immunoabsorbent columns were found to be more effective as mitogen than unpurified antibody fractions. Antibodies to kappa- or lambda-light chains were found to be mitogenic, whereas antibodies specific to various heavy chain classes failed to induce a significant response. Isolated light chains were much more effective in inhibiting the reaction than isolated mu-chains. It is concluded that insolubilized anti-light chain antibodies are mitogenic to human peripheral blood lymphocytes. 相似文献

The effect of murine monoclonal antibodies binding monomorphic epitopes of Class II, HLA-DR molecules on responding human B lymphocytes stimulated by anti-immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies was studied. Goat F(ab')2 anti-human IgM coupled to Sepharose beads (insoluble), or in solution, was added to macrophage-depleted B cells in culture with, or without, anti-human HLA-DR monoclonal antibodies. The addition of monoclonal anti-HLA-DR antibodies to anti-human IgM-stimulated B lymphocytes inhibited this T-independent B-cell proliferation by 82-94%. The role of Class II, HLA-DR molecules on B cells may therefore exceed that of antigen presentation alone, to include responding B-cell activation induced by anti-immunoglobulin. 相似文献

Monoclonal anti-GnRH antibodies reacting to the heptapeptide 4-10 (H-Ser-Tyr-Gly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-OH) were isolated by affinity chromatography using Sepharose 4B-heptapeptide (4-10) column. The ELISA additivity test and antibody-antibody competition techniques were used to study whether the affinity purified MoAb (A-MoAb) fraction recognize the sequence or the conformation of the native hormone. All four A-MoAbs, P862, P778, P764 and P813, were able to recognize the common epitope and did not allow to bind the conventional anti-GnRH antibodies (CoAbs) indicating that the CoAbs were conformation specific. Similarly in antibody-antibody competition technique, all A-MoAbs were able to compete with CoAbs, indicating that MoAbs were generated against the conformation of GnRH involving the entire molecule. 相似文献

Rabbit antibodies against Encephalitozoon cuniculi were detected in an indirect microagglutination test using a bead substrate to which anti-rabbit immunoglobin G light and heavy chain antibodies were coupled. The test was positive using immune whole serum or F(ab)' and F(ab)'2 fragments of immunoglobin G but negative using the F(c) fragment. The reaction was blocked by saturating the beads with rabbit serum or by absorbing positive sera with excess Encephalitozoon cuniculi. The test provided a simple method to detect antibodies to Encephalitozoon cuniculi, did not require elaborate equipment and could be performed using frozen antigen. 相似文献

The cytochemical detection of specific DNA sequences by hybridization with fluorochrome-labeled RNA and detection of the hybrids by fluorescence microscopy is described. RNAs complementary to the DNA of the kinetoplasts of Crithidia luciliae (an insect trypanosome) or to adenovirus-5 (Ad-5) DNA were labeled with the hydrazine derivative of tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC). The specificity of the reactions between the complementary RNAs labeled both with 3H and tetramethylrhodamine was studied by cross-hybridization experiments using a model system in which the DNAs were bound to Sepharose beads. The extent of the reaction was measured by scintillation counting of the bead suspensions and quantitative fluorescence microscopy of individual Sepharose beads. The ability of the rhodamine-labeled cRNAs to hybridize and the absence of interference of the fluorochrome label with the specificity of the hybridization reaction was thus demonstrated. After cytochemical hybridization on microscopic preparations of C. luciliae cells the rhodamine-labeled kinetoplast cRNA stains only the kinetoplasts. No fluorescence was observed in the nuclei. After cytochemical hybridization of rhodamine-labeled Ad-5 cRNA with virus infected KB cells a distinct staining pattern in the nuclei was observed. No fluorescence was seen in uninfected cells, or after hybridization with heterologous rhodamine-labeled RNA. The possibilities and limitations of cytochemical hybridization with rhodamine-labeled RNA are discussed. 相似文献

Accuracy and repeatability of a micro plaque reduction neutralization test for vaccinia antibodies. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The detection of neutralizing antibodies against vaccinia virus is a valuable tool for the investigation of previous smallpox vaccination. Compulsory smallpox vaccination ended in Brazil during the early 1970s, although the vaccine was available until the late 1970s. The threat of smallpox as a biological weapon has called the attention of public health authorities to the need for an evaluation of the immune status of the population. Based on our previous experience with a micro plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) for the evaluation of yellow fever immunity, a similar test was developed for the detection and quantification of vaccinia neutralizing antibodies. A cross-sectional study to test the repeatability and validity of plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) for vaccinia antibodies was performed in 182 subjects divided into two categories: subjects above 31 years old and the other > or = 35 years old. Cases were subjects considered to have been vaccinated with vaccinia virus if they declared vaccination history or evidenced vaccination marks. The assay is carried out in 96-well plates, provides results within 30 h, is easily performed, has good sensitivity (92.7%) and specificity (90.8), excellent repeatability (ICC 0.89 (0.88; 0.92)) and is thus suitable for use in mass screening of a population's antibody levels. 相似文献

Antibody inhibition studies were done to determine which molecules on the surface of the T cell hybridomas other than their receptors for antigen plus IAd were involved in interaction with antigen-presenting B cells, with artificial IAd membranes on glass beads, or with anti-receptor antibodies coupled to Sepharose beads. We found that T cell LFA-1 was only involved when B cells were used to present antigen plus IAd, whereas T cell L3T4 was involved in the response of T cells to antigen plus IAd either on cells or in artificial membranes, but not if anti-receptor antibodies were used to stimulate the T cells. From these results we concluded that LFA-1 may be involved in the recognition of a ligand on cells that was not present in artificial membranes, but that L3T4 might interact with a nonpolymorphic portion of class II molecules present in both intact antigen-presenting cells and the antigen-presenting artificial membranes. 相似文献

125I-labeled low density lipoprotein (LDL) covalently bonded to Sepharose beads was not degraded by normal human fibroblasts nor did it trigger inhibition of sterol synthesis. The Sepharose beads loaded with LDL bound very tightly to the surface both of normal fibroblasts and fibroblasts from a subject with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia; control Sepharose beads (activated sites covered with glycine) did not adhere to either cell type. LDL was extracted by a modification of the method of Gustafson (Gustafson, A. (1965) J. Lipid Res. 6, 512-517), so as to remove essentially all cholesterol, cholesterol ester and triglyceride. This modified LDL was bound, internalized and degraded as well as or better than native LDL. However, it failed to suppress sterol synthesis. These results provide additional evidence that the sterol moiety of the LDL is the key component affecting sterol synthesis. They also imply that the neutral lipids of LDL play a minor role in the binding of LDL to cell membranes and that the apoprotein rather than molecular size and shape is the critical factor. 相似文献

In its role as an effector capable of killing large multicellular parasites, the eosinophil must be especially adapted for dealing with noningestible surfaces. A model system of Sepharose beads coated with serum protein or concanavalin A (Con A) has been used to study interactions between guinea pig peritoneal exudate eosinophils and noningestible particles. A small percentage of eosinophils were adherent to serum treated Sepharose; however, many cells were adherent to Con A-Sepharose. Adherence to Con A-Sepharose was decreased by pretreatment with 1 mM alpha-methylmannoside (alpha-MM). As compared to resting eosinophils, incubation of eosinophils with serum-treated Sepharose led to activation of oxidative metabolism as indicated by an eight-fold increase in superoxide anion production and an approximately threefold increase in quantitative leukocyte iodination. Eosinophils which were adherent to Con A beads could not be activated by either phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or preopsonized zymosan. However, if adherence was reduced by preincubation with alpha-MM, PMA was able to activate the eosinophils. Neither soluble Con A nor Sepharose beads interfered with the assay of superoxide anion. These studies demonstrate the utility of Sepharose beads for studying interactions between eosinophils and noningestible particles. 相似文献

Influenza virus particles, inactivated with formalin, have been covalently bound to cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose beads (Se-vi beads). Preservation of the hemagglutination properties of the viral particles enabled a strong binding of pigeon or human group O erythrocytes (PRBC or HoRBC) to these Se-vi beads. The conditions for preparation of PRBC- or HoRBC-Se-vi columns are described.Spleen cell suspensions from mice immunized with the above erythrocytes were considerably depleted of cells forming hemolytic plaques (PFC) against the corresponding erythrocytes after passage through these columns. In the case of cells from nonimmunized mice, the depletion is still greater and reaches up to 95–100%. However, the number of PFC reactive to unrelated erythrocytes is not affected in the filtered population. Specifically attached cells recovered from the Se-vi-RBC columns passed with normal spleen cells are considerably enriched in the number of PFC against homologous erythrocytes. Syngeneic irradiated hosts transferred with filtered cells are able to give a normal primary PFC response against heterologous, but not against homologous RBC up to the 12th day after immunization. These results are discussed in relation to the problem of precommitment of specific PFC precursor cells. 相似文献

The low molecular weight mast cell activator, polymyxin B, has been covalently bound to an insoluble matrix of Sepharose 4B. It has been demonstrated that mast cells in preparations of rat peritoneal cells bind to Sepharose 4B-polymyxin B beads but not to control beads. The bound cells are stimulated to degranulate by this interaction at the cell membrane with the resultant release of biogenic amines. 相似文献

Levels of neutralizing antibody to lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) virus in the sera of 66 infected persons were assayed by a rapid fluorescent focus-inhibition test (RFFIT). The test was more sensitive than the mouse-neutralization (MN) test and could be completed in less than 24 h. The RFFIT titers were compared with titers obtained by the indirect fluorescent-antibody (IFA) and complement-fixation (CF) tests. Neutralizing antibody detected by the RFFIT remained positive after IRA, CF and MN antibodies had disappeared. The RFFIT for detection of LCM antibody is specific and reproducible and seems especially useful for determining the incidence and epidemiology of LCM virus infections. 相似文献

In vitro immunization of human lymphocytes. I. Production of human monoclonal antibodies against bombesin and tetanus toxoid 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A procedure for in vitro sensitization of human lymphocytes against bombesin conjugated to tetanus toxoid (BTT) is described. Bombesin is a tetradecapeptide associated with small cell lung carcinoma. We found that antibody responses against bombesin as well as tetanus toxoid could be generated in vitro by culturing nylon-separated human splenic lymphocytes for 6 days with lipopolysaccharide, phytohemagglutinin-activated lymphocyte supernatants, human AB serum, and bombesin conjugated to tetanus toxoid. Cells sensitized by this procedure were fused to murine myeloma cells, NS-1. The specificities of resulting hybrids were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunoassays and competitive inhibition experiments. Hybrids secreting anti-bombesin (IgM) or anti-tetanus toxoid (IgM or IgG) were obtained. The ratio of IgG to IgM antibodies against tetanus toxoid could be increased by using antigen coupled to Sepharose beads. The sensitization procedure described here offers a system for the study of antigenic stimulation of human B lymphocytes in vitro and for the production of human monoclonal antibodies with the desired specificities. 相似文献

Selected phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG (CpG-ODN) activate immune responses, including B-cell proliferation and cytokine production. The mechanism by which cells detect CpG-motifs is not known. There are conflicting reports in the literature concerning the ability of CpG-ODN linked to solid supports to stimulate immunity. We prepared a fluorescent, biotinylated CpG-ODN, a reagent that will support the growth of 7TD1 cells, a murine B-cell hybridoma line that requires CpG-ODN or interleukin-6 (IL-6) for survival. Stimulation of 7TD1 cell growth was not reduced by complexing biotinylated CpG-ODN to streptavidin, but cell growth was not supported by CpG-ODN coupled to streptavidin-coated latex, magnetic, gold, or agarose beads. A fluorescent CpG-ODN was also covalently attached to cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose beads via a 5'-amine group. These derivatized Sepharose beads did support 7TD1 cell growth, but incubation of the beads with 7TD1 cells resulted in the appearance of fluorescence within the cells, suggesting that growth stimulation may be due to CpG-ODN leached from the beads. Our results are consistent with the need for CpG-ODN to be internalized into cells to be immunostimulatory. 相似文献

RNA from Cyanophora paradoxa was separated into cytoplasmic and cyanellar fractions by using a combination of subcellular fractionation and oligo-dT chromatography. In vitro translation of the separated cytoplasmic and cyanellar RNAs in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system in the presence of [35S]methionine resulted in the incorporation of radiolabel into electrophoretically distinct sets of polypeptides. Monospecific and polyspecific antibodies that react with cyanellar polypeptides were used to probe the in vitro translation products by indirect immunoprecipitation by using Staphylococcus protein A conjugated to Sepharose beads. The results indicate that linker polypeptide L1 of the phycobilisome, the gamma subunit of coupling factor CF1, and subunit II of PS I are synthesized in the cytoplasm as precursor molecules that are 5-8 kDa larger than their mature sizes. Antibodies directed against the psbA gene product (the D1 protein) precipitated a polypeptide found in the translation products of the cyanellar RNA-directed reactions, which is about 1.5 kDa larger than the mature protein. 相似文献
