Intravesical BCG administration is used as an adjuvant therapy after transurethral resection for superficial bladder cancer in man. The mechanisms of its antitumor activity are not known. The aim of this study was to characterize the histomorphological changes in various organs of the guinea pig after intravesical BCG administration. The BCG preparation used was BCG-RIVM, a Dutch BCG preparation. Instillations were performed in previously undamaged bladders weekly for 6 consecutive weeks and lasted 30 min or 1 h. Different doses were used ranging from 10(3) culturable particles (c.p.) to 5 x 10(7) c.p. of BCG. After 6 weeks, the animals were killed and postmortem examination was performed. The bladder wall, retroperitoneal lymph nodes, spleen, liver, lungs and distant lymph nodes were examined histologically. The BCG therapy, with a dose of 10(6) culturable particles and higher, induced an inflammatory reaction consisting of mononuclear infiltrates in the subepithelial tissue of the bladder wall. In approximately 50% of the animals investigated, the infiltrates were accompanied by non-caseating granulomatous lesions indicated by the presence of epithelioid cells. In general, the epithelial layer of the bladder showed no visible alterations. Similarly, a granulomatous inflammatory reaction was observed in the first retroperitoneal (iliac) lymph nodes draining the bladder. Granulomatous lesions were occasionally also present in liver and lung. In three of the 29 animals investigated, lesions were present both in liver and lungs, and in two of these three animals a granulomatous reaction was observed in the spleen and distant lymph nodes indicating a generalized inflammatory response induced by BCG.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The intravesical administration of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is used as an adjuvant therapy after transurethral resection for superficial bladder cancer in man. The aim of this study was to characterize with monoclonal antibodies the cellular infiltrates in the bladder wall occurring after one or two cycles, each comprising six weekly intravesical BCG administrations in guinea pigs. BCG-RIVM and BCG-TICE were instilled once a week in undamaged bladders at weeks 1-6 and 11-16, respectively, and retained in the bladder for 1 h. Autopsy was performed 1 week after the last BCG administration at weeks 7 and 17. By routine histology, a single BCG course induced scattered focal infiltrates consisting of minor to severe accumulations of mononuclear cells. After two cycles of BCG, a much more severe inflammatory reaction sometimes occupying almost the total bladder mucosa was noted. The major component of this inflammation was mononuclear cells, mainly lymphocytes, while typical BCG granulomas were occasionally observed. In general, the epithelial layer of the bladder showed no visible alterations. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the majority of mononuclear cells present in the infiltrate were T-cells. Widely scattered B-cells and macrophages were also present, but were much fewer in number than the T-cells. In general, T-helper/inducer cells were more frequent than T-suppressor/cytotoxic cells. Pseudofollicles, also noted after H&E staining, consisted mainly of B-cells. The second series of BCG administrations produced pseudofollicles in the infiltrates in all animals investigated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The relationship between kinetic activity of the alternative pathway (AP) of complement and susceptibility to Mycobacterium bovis (BCG) and M. fortuitum was examined in inbred mice. After subcutaneous injection of BCG, the organisms were mostly contained by the draining lymph nodes, with minimal effects on spleen and no apparent relationship with serum AP. After intravenous injection of BCG or M. fortuitum, male mice, which had a more effective AP than female mice, showed lower spleen bacterial counts. AP kinetics became faster in mice with high spleen bacterial counts and slower in mice with low counts, suggesting that infection or inflammatory processes affected AP. These experiments suggest that if tuberculosis is confined to tissues and draining lymph nodes AP plays no part in pathogenesis or host resistance, but AP might reduce the infectivity of low numbers of organisms spreading by blood or lymph from a primary focus of infection. 相似文献

Summary The immunological and pathological responses of guinea pigs to an intramural colonic injection of emulsions containing cell wall (CW) extracts of Mycobacterium bovis BCG and mineral oil were studied from week 1 to week 36 post-inoculation. The emulsions contained variable concentrations of BCG CW attached to (lipid-phase), or separate from (aqueous-phase), the mineral oil. Delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity to PPD was present throughout the course of the study in a variable percentage of guinea pigs inoculated with either type of emulsion. PPD-induced blast transformation of peripheral blood lymphocytes, studied in guinea pigs which received lipid-phase emulsion, was also detectable throughout the course of the study, with maximal response seen 2 weeks post-inoculation. The intracolonic inoculations were well tolerated, with the exception of the most concentrated lipid-phase emulsion (3 mg/ml BCG CW and 5% oil), after which one of eight guinea pigs died due to a colonic impaction and rupture at the site of inoculation. The pathological response to either type of emulsion was a focal granulomatous colitis, which tended to be more severe as the concentration of BCG CW and oil increased. Extracolonic lesions were usually limited to a granulomatous lymphadenitis of lymph nodes draining the injection site; however, the most concentrated lipid-phase emulsion occasionally produced granulomatous inflammatory foci in the liver and lungs. In general, the lesions induced by the lipid-phase emulsions were more severe than those induced by aqueous-phase emulsions, but the intensity of both types of lesions peaked at 2 or 4 weeks post-inoculation. It was concluded that the guinea pig may serve as a useful model to study BCG immunotherapy of colonic neoplasms, since intracolonic injection of BCG CW resulted in systemic immunity toward mycobacterial antigens and a localized accumulation of macrophages without untoward complications.

Summary The toxicity of fresh preparations of BCG administered intravenously as single or weekly repeated doses of 1 g, 100 mg, 10 mg, and 1 mg, was studied in 9 adult baboons. Clinical, biochemical, histologic, and bacteriologic examinations were performed. Tissues for histopathologic and bacteriologic examinations were obtained by laparotomy and biopsy, or by autopsy. Four and 5 months after the first injection, the surviving animals were killed purposely for examination. With high doses of BCG (2 g, 1 g, 500 mg) the severe toxicity with death of 2 animals was demonstrated. Diffuse cellular infiltrations of macrophages and lymphocytes in the liver, spleen, lungs, and lymph nodes, with formation of early, typical granulomas and great numbers of cultivable units of BCG were found in these animals. With small doses of BCG, general granulomatous reactions occurred in all organs sampled. Four months after BCG injection, granulomas had regressed, but viable organisms persisted in the lymph nodes. Future investigations may prove feasible the possibility of immunotherapy with small doses of BCG administered intravenously, since live bacilli persist for months after injections, presumably creating the chronic BCGitis necessary for effective immunotherapy.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection depresses contact sensitivity to oxazolone in mice. To test whether an altered lymphocyte circulation plays a role
in this depression51Cr-labeled lymphocytes fromP. aeruginosa-infected and oxazolone-sensitized donors were injected intravenously into infected and sensitized recipients, and the radioactivity
uptake of several organs was determine. The controls consisted of normal mice receiving labeled lymphocytes from normal donors.
While the radioactivity recovered from the liver, spleen, and mesenteric lymph nodes was similar in the test and the control
group, significantly more radioactivity was recovered from the draining lymph nodes of infected and sensitized recipients.
The concentration of labeled lymphocytes from sensitized donors in the draining lymph nodes of sensitized recipients was 18%
greater than that of the controls but 31% lower than that of infected and sensitized animals receiving cells from infected
and sensitized donors.P. aeruginosa infection enhances lymphocyte entrapment within the draining lymph nodes of oxazolone-sensitized mice. 相似文献

NK cells in the lymph nodes play important roles in inhibiting tumor metastasis into draining lymph nodes. Previously, we reported that chronic alcohol consumption interferes with NK cell trafficking from the bone marrow to the spleen. Herein, we found that alcohol consumption decreases the numbers of NK cells in lymph nodes. Adoptive transfer experiments indicated that continued exposure of donor splenocytes to alcohol inhibits NK but not T cell trafficking to lymph nodes. Alcohol did not negatively affect CCR7+ and CXCR3+ NK cells, but decreased the percentage and number of CD62L+ NK cells in the spleen, which are an important source of NK cell trafficking into the lymph nodes. These data suggest that modulation of the microenvironment associated with alcohol consumption impairs the trafficking of NK cells to lymph nodes. The decreased number of NK cells in the lymph nodes was associated with increased melanoma metastasis into the draining lymph nodes. 相似文献

Summary Guinea pigs, each with an established, syngeneic dermal line 10 tumor and lymph node metastases, were immunized by intradermal injection of a mixture of irradiated line 10 cells and an emulsion containing heat-killed BCG. Immunization eradicated 7- or 10-day-old dermal tumors (about 10 or 12 mm in diameter, respectively) and prevented growth of microscopic lymph node metastases. Fourteen-day-old dermal tumors (about 15 mm in diameter) were not rejected by immunization.Guinea pigs with stage II disease (21-day-old dermal tumors and palpable metastases in the first draining lymph node) were treated by excision of the dermal tumor and the first draining lymph node, and by specific immunization. This treatment eliminated tumor cells remaining in the second draining lymph nodes. The surgical treatment alone was not curative, palpable metastases in the second draining lymph nodes progressed and the animals died (some with visible lung metastases).Emulsions containing killed BCG were good adjuvants even after prolonged storage at 4° C, but lost most of their adjuvant activity after autoclaving or freezing. 相似文献

“Test-and-slaughter” has been successful in industrialized countries to control and eradicate tuberculosis from cattle; however, this strategy is too expensive for developing nations, where the prevalence is especially high. Vaccination with the Calmette-Guérin (BCG) strain has been shown to protect against the development of lesions in vaccinated animals: mouse, cattle and wildlife species. In this study, the immune response and the pathology of vaccinated (BCG-prime and BCG prime-CFP-boosted) and unvaccinated (controls) calves were evaluated under experimental settings. A 106 CFU dose of the BCG strain was inoculated subcutaneously on the neck to two groups of ten animas each. Thirty days after vaccination, one of the vaccinated groups was boosted with an M. bovis culture filtrate protein (CFP). Three months after vaccination, the three groups of animals were challenged with 5×105 CFU via intranasal by aerosol with a field strain of M. bovis. The immune response was monitored throughout the study. Protection was assessed based on immune response (IFN-g release) prechallenge, presence of visible lesions in lymph nodes and lungs at slaughter, and presence of bacilli in lymph nodes and lung samples in histological analysis. Vaccinated cattle, either with the BCG alone or with BCG and boosted with CFP showed higher IFN-g response, fewer lesions, and fewer bacilli per lesion than unvaccinated controls after challenge. Animals with low levels of IFN-g postvaccine-prechallenge showed more lesions than animals with high levels. Results from this study support the argument that vaccination could be incorporated into control programs to reduce the incidence of TB in cattle in countries with high prevalence. 相似文献

Summary
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin was given intravenously (i.v.) or subcutaneously (s.c.), 14 days before antigenic or mitogenic stimulation.When given i.v., BCG increased plaque-forming cell production against thymus-dependent antigens (sheep red blood cells and a hapten coupled to hemocyanin) and against a thymus-independent antigen (the same hapten coupled to polymerized flagellin). BCG given s.c. was generally ineffective in potentiating humoral responses.In contrast, a marked depression of spleen cell reactivity in vitro to a T-cell mitogen, concanavalin A (Con A) but an increased response to a B-cell mitogen, dextran sulfate, were observed after BCG i.v., and to a lesser extent after BCG s.c. This inhibitory effect was reversed after removal of cells adherent to nylon or plastic. Normal spleen cell reactivity to Con A was strongly depressed when the cells were cultivated in presence of unfractionated or plastic-adherent BCG-treated spleen cells, suggesting that BCG induces suppressor cells which inhibit T-cell responses in vitro. Similar impairment of T-cell functions in vivo was not observed since BCG given i.v. significantly increased the intensity of delayed-type hypersensitivity to picryl chloride.BCG also induced macrophage activation, measured by macrophage tumoricidal activity in vitro, more strongly and more rapidly when given i.v. than s.c.Modifications of the distribution of lymphocytes from the circulation to the organs were observed. An early increase of lymphocyte migration to the spleen and a long-lasting depression of cell migration to mesenteric lymph nodes and bone marrow were seen after BCG given i.v. When given s.c., BCG induced a progressive increase of cell migration to the draining lymph nodes concomitant with a depression of migration to mesenteric nodes.These results demonstrate the complexity of the mode of action of BCG, but many of its effects on immune responses may result from a primary action on macrophages. 相似文献

Primary T-cell activation at mucosal sites is of utmost importance for the development of vaccination strategies. T-cell priming after vaginal immunization, with ovalbumin and CpG oligodeoxynucleotide adjuvant as model vaccine formulation, was studied in vivo in hormone-synchronized mice and compared to the one induced by the nasal route. Twenty-four hours after both vaginal or nasal immunization, antigen-loaded dendritic cells were detected within the respective draining lymph nodes. Vaginal immunization elicited a strong recruitment of antigen-specific CD4+ T cells into draining lymph nodes that was more rapid than the one observed following nasal immunization. T-cell clonal expansion was first detected in iliac lymph nodes, draining the genital tract, and proliferated T cells disseminated towards distal lymph nodes and spleen similarly to what observed following nasal immunization. T cells were indeed activated by the antigen encounter and acquired homing molecules essential to disseminate towards distal lymphoid organs as confirmed by the modulation of CD45RB, CD69, CD44 and CD62L marker expression. A multi-type Galton Watson branching process, previously used for in vitro analysis of T-cell proliferation, was applied to model in vivo CFSE proliferation data in draining lymph nodes 57 hours following immunization, in order to calculate the probabilistic decision of a cell to enter in division, rest in quiescence or migrate/die. The modelling analysis indicated that the probability of a cell to proliferate was higher following vaginal than nasal immunization. All together these data show that vaginal immunization, despite the absence of an organized mucosal associated inductive site in the genital tract, is very efficient in priming antigen-specific CD4+ T cells and inducing their dissemination from draining lymph nodes towards distal lymphoid organs. 相似文献

Tuberculosis-like lesions (TBL) in pigs have been associated with microorganisms other than mycobacteria. In this work a histopathological and microbiological evaluation of TBL in pigs is shown. A total of 352 samples belonging to 171 pigs totally condemned at slaughterhouse due to generalized TBL were sampled and selected for analysis. Pyogranulomatous (56.2%) and granulomatous lesions (20.2%) were observed in all analysed organs. Most of the granulomas observed in both lymph nodes and lungs belonged to more advanced stages of development (stages III and IV) whereas in the liver and the spleen most of lesions belonged to intermediate stages (stages II and III). Different microorganisms were simultaneously detected from TBL in the 42.7% of the animals. Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) (38%), coryneform bacteria (40.3%) and streptococci (28.1%) were the main groups of microorganisms detected after bacteriological analysis, with Trueperella pyogenes and Streptococcus suis as the most frequently isolated species. Mycobacteria belonging to MTC were the most frequently detected pathogens in granulomatous and pyogranulomatous lesions in submandibular lymph nodes (32.7%) and coryneform bacteria were the microorganisms more frequently isolated from lungs (25.9%) and spleen samples (37.2%). These results may provide new insights into the pathogenesis and diagnosis of this pathology. The importance of coryneform bacteria and streptococci in such processes must be evaluated in future studies. 相似文献

Kinetics of lymphoid cells in tumor-bearing mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The distribution patterns of 51Cr-labeled lymphoid cells from normal C3H and tumor-bearing 6C3HED mice were studied by the method of Bainbridge and Gowland (1). An increased localization of normal recirculating lymphocytes was observed in draining lymph nodes of tumor bearing animals which reached a maximum of 8.4% by the 8th–10th day following transplantation. The proportion of recirculating cells from draining nodes of tumor-bearing animals decreased with the progression of the tumor although their actual numbers increased. This decrease is thought to be related to the invasion of draining nodes by tumor cells. 相似文献

Mycobacteria and their cell wall components have been used with varying degrees of success to treat tumors, and Mycobacterium bovis BCG remains in use as a standard treatment for superficial bladder cancer. Mycobacterial immunotherapy is very effective in eliciting local immune responses against solid tumors when administered topically; however, its effectiveness in eliciting adaptive immune responses has been variable. Using a subcutaneous mouse thymoma model, we investigated whether immunotherapy with Mycobacterium smegmatis, a fast-growing mycobacterium of low pathogenicity, induces a systemic adaptive immune response. We found that M. smegmatis delivered adjacent to the tumor site elicited a systemic anti-tumor immune response that was primarily mediated by CD8+ T cells. Of note, we identified a CD11c+CD40intCD11bhiGr-1+ inflammatory DC population in the tumor-draining lymph nodes that was found only in mice treated with M. smegmatis. Our data suggest that, rather than rescuing the function of the DC already present in the tumor and/or tumor-draining lymph node, M. smegmatis treatment may promote anti-tumor immune responses by inducing the involvement of a new population of inflammatory cells with intact function. 相似文献

In this study, the distribution of immune spleen cells was investigated after adoptive transfer of immunity in inbred strain 2 guinea pigs. Spleen cells obtained from line 10 immune donor animals became specifically restimulated in vitro with 3 M KCl-extracted line 10 soluble proteins, but not with 3 M KCl-extracted line 1 or liver proteins. After 4 days culture in vitro, these specifically restimulated immune spleen cells retained their antitumor activity in vivo after adoptive transfer. The specifically restimulated immune spleen cells were radiolabeled with [3H]thymidine, 1 X 10(8) viable cells were adoptively transferred in tumor-bearing guinea pigs, and their distribution was investigated. As controls for the specific localization of the immune cells at the line 10 tumor, the presence of labeled cells was studied in the contralateral transplanted line 1 hepatoma as well as in cellular inflammatory reactions elicited by injection with incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). A significantly higher localization of the labeled immune spleen cells in the line 10 tumor and the first and second draining lymph nodes of the line 10 challenge site were found when compared to the influx of these cells in the line 1 tumor and the nontumor antigen-related inflammatory reactions. Because our immune donor animals were immunized with a mixture of line 10 cells and BCG, these animals are immune to both. Line 10 immune spleen cells were restimulated in vitro with PPD and were radiolabeled. These PPD-restimulated immune spleen cells showed no preferential localization at the line 10 tumor challenge site but, as expected, a tendency for localization at the CFA (H37Ra) injection site. Furthermore, PPD-reactive spleen cells from BCG-immunized guinea pigs showed a significantly higher accumulation at the CFA injection site compared to the IFA injection site and the line 10 and line 1 tumor challenge site. From the results, it is concluded that line 10 tumor-immune and BCG-immune spleen cells are two distinct cell populations, and that the existence of cross-reacting antigens between BCG and the line 10 hepatocarcinoma are of no importance for the rejection of the line 10 tumor by immune spleen cells. 相似文献

Cellular immune response to viral infection: in vitro studies of lymphocytes from mice infected with Sindbis virus 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The development and evanescence of cell-mediated immunity to Sindbis virus infection in the mouse was studied using in vitro lymphocyte transformation. Adult mice were inoculated subcutaneously with Sindbis virus, a group A arbovirus, and cells from the draining lymph nodes and spleen were examined temporally for their ability to incorporate 3H-Tdr in the presence of Sindbis virus antigen in vitro. Lymphocyte transformation was shown to be specific and dose-related. Better stimulation was obtained with live virus antigen than with inactivated virus antigen. Specific 3H-Tdr incorporation was markedly reduced when lymph node cells were pretreated with anti-θ and complement, but anti-mouse immunoglobulin also reduced the response. Specifically sensitized cells were present in the draining lymph nodes 3–4 days after primary Sindbis virus infection, peaked at 6 days, and returned to control levels by 16 days. The response in the spleen appeared later and disappeared later. Neutralizing antibody appeared by Day 4, rose rapidly, and plateaued at a high level. The secondary cellular response differed from the primary response by being somewhat earlier and being elicitable with an amount of inactivated virus antigen which was insufficient to produce a primary response. 相似文献

A safer and more effective anti-Tuberculosis vaccine is still an urgent need. We probed the effects of monosodium urate crystals (MSU) on innate immunity to improve the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination. Results showed that in vitro MSU cause an enduring macrophage stimulation of the anti-mycobacterial response, measured as intracellular killing, ROS production and phagolysosome maturation. The contribution of MSU to anti-mycobacterial activity was also shown in vivo. Mice vaccinated in the presence of MSU showed a lower number of BCG in lymph nodes draining the vaccine inoculation site, in comparison to mice vaccinated without MSU. Lastly, we showed that MSU improved the efficacy of BCG vaccination in mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), measured in terms of lung and spleen MTB burden. These results demonstrate that the use of MSU as adjuvant may represent a novel strategy to enhance the efficacy of BCG vaccination. 相似文献

The migration of splenic T and B lymphocytes into syngeneic tumors undergoing immunologic rejection was investigates. Spleen cells were obtained from normal BALC/c mice or BALB/c mice bearing tumors induced by murine sarcoma virus (MSV). Either whole spleen cells or immunoabsorbent purified T and B cells were radiolabeled with sodium chromate-51 and injected i.v. into normal or MSV inducted-tumor bearing syngeneic recipients. Twenty-four hours later the recipient mice were sacrificed and radioactivity was assessed for tumor, contralateral normal muscle, the lymph nodes draining the tumor and contralateral draining lymph nodes, peripheral lymph nodes, spleen, and liver. Both T and B lymphocytes from either normal or MSV tumor-bearing animals show greatly increased migration into the tumor when compared with normal muscle. Migration of T cells from both normal and MSV tumor bearers was 30 times that of migration to normal muscle. B cells from tumor-bearing mice, on the other hand, localized in the tumor itself only 50% as frequently as did B cells from normal animals. In addition, T cells from MSV tumor bearers were found in the highest proportion in the lymph node draining the tumor site. We conclude that T and B lymphocytes from either normal or tumor-bearing mice migrate to a syngeneic tumor undergoing immunologic rejection. In contrast, the migration of both T and B cells from tumor-bearing animals was decreased to the peripheral lymph nodes at the time of maximum tumor growth. 相似文献

Brown-Norway (BN) rats are uniquely susceptible to development of autoimmune phenomena and enlargement of lymph nodes and spleen after repeated injections of mercuric chloride. Despite its ability to produce autoimmunity, HgCl2 inhibited the development in BN rats of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), another autoimmune process. The inhibition by mercury was probably due to lack of the normal absorption and granulomatous reaction to the EAE inoculum in the enlarged lymph nodes draining the inoculation site. Lewis rats did not develop enlarged nodes from HgCl2 treatment. Lewis lymph nodes absorbed the EAE inoculum abundantly and developed an extensive granulomatous reaction despite the mercury treatment, and there was only a slight inhibition of EAE. Therefore, the ability of HgCl2 to produce lymphadenopathy in BN rats may be responsible for the inability of these rats to absorb the inoculated antigen. The mercury-induced failure of absorption was manifested as an inhibition of EAE in BN rats. 相似文献

The tissue localization of syngeneic thoracic duct lymphocytes was compared to that of allogeneic cells in four rat strain combinations differing at the Ag-B locus (HO → DA, DA → HO, AO → HO, HO → AO). Dual isotope labeling with [3H]uridine and [14C]uridine was applied in order so that the distribution of allogeneic and syngeneic cells could be followed in one recipient. During the first couple of hours after iv injection, allogeneic lymphocytes usually migrated as easily into the various tissues as did syngeneic cells. However, after 24 and 48 hr, a reduced amount of label associated with allogeneic cells was often measured in the tissues. This reduction differed in magnitude in the different strain combinations and was most pronounced in the lymph nodes. A reduced number of allogeneic cells also appeared in the thoracic duct. By contrast, no reduced localization of allogeneic lymphocytes was measured in the draining popliteal lymph nodes late after sc injection. In preimmunized animals allogeneic cells were rapidly removed from the blood and therefore failed to localize in the lymphoid tissues. Furthermore, the lymph node localization of allogeneic cells was more like that of syngeneic cells in splenectomized rats, as well as in irradiated recipients (when the irradiation was given shortly before cell transfer). It is concluded that transplantation antigens play no essential role in the interaction between recirculating lymphocytes and the venous endothelium at the sites where the large-scale physiological emigration of the cells takes place (the HEVS of the lymph nodes and the marginal zone vessels of the spleen). The elimination of allogeneic cells is found later; it probably takes place in the lymph nodes and spleen. Possible mechanisms responsible for this rapid removal of allogeneic lymphocytes in nonimmunized recipients are discussed. 相似文献
