Craig P.S. and Rickard M.D. 1981. Studies on the specific immunodiagnosis of larval cestode infections of cattle and sheep using antigens purified by affinity chromatography in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). International Journal for Parasitology11: 441–449. Crude somatic or cyst fluid extracts prepared from Taenia saginata, T. hydatigena or Echinococcus granulosus were partially purified by absorption against homologous and heterologous bovine or ovine antisera on immunoabsorbent affinity columns. Antigens in parasite extracts which were eluted after binding to the homologous anti-parasite antisera (bovine or ovine) coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose were then passed sequentially through affinity columns containing heterologous anti-parasite Ig and the ‘run-through’ antigens collected. The level of cross reactions to these absorbed antigens, in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using sera from cattle or sheep given heterologous parasite infections (including Fasciola hepatica), were significantly decreased. Absolute specificity was not achieved, and some loss in sensitivity occurred. The absorption of cross-reactive antigen(s) using affinity Chromatographie techniques may be a useful first step in the production of species-specific immunodiagnostic antigens for larval cestode infections. 相似文献

Trichinella spiralis: murine strain variation in response to monoclonally defined, protective, nonstage-specific antigens 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Nine hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against Trichinella spiralis muscle larvae (ML) excretory/secretory antigens (ESA) were developed. Two mAbs, 6-D8-E3 (6D8) and 6-B1-G10 (6B1), were studied in detail. Western blot analysis using ML ESA showed that 6D8 recognized 35- and 40-kDa constituents whereas 6B1 identified a doublet of 33 kDa. However, Western blots of SDS-PAGE of crude ML homogenate showed that 6D8 identified proteins of approximately 35 and 43-60 kDa, whereas 6B1 recognized bands of 42-50 kDa. These results indicated substantial apparent MW differences between secreted and nonsecreted proteins recognized by both mAbs. Neither 6D8 nor 6B1 reacted with adult worm ESA, but both recognized antigens in aqueous extracts of homogenates of whole adult worms. Competitive inhibition experiments using ML ESA as a target demonstrated that the antigen epitopes recognized by monoclonals 6D8, 6B1, a rat mAb, 9D4, and a 37-kDa antigen previously defined were noncross-reactive. MAbs 6D8, 6B1, and 9D4 were used to isolate proteins possessing target determinants by affinity chromatography from crude ML homogenates. Each mAb isolated distinct protein species as determined by SDS-PAGE (6B1, approximately 42 kDa; 6D8, approximately 28, 37, and 61 kDa; 9D4, approximately 29, 33, 38-57, 80, and 86 kDa). NFS mice responded in a dose-dependent manner to affinity-purified antigens and were 25-fold more effective (by weight of antigen) than either C3Heb/Fe(C3H) or B10.BR mice. Immunization of mice with 6D8, 6B1, or 9D4 antigens induced strong protection against a subsequent challenge infection in NFS mice as indicated by accelerated intestinal adult worm expulsion, reduced fecundity of the female worms, and reduction of ML burden. Affinity-isolated antigens stimulated in vitro proliferation of spleen and MLN cells from immune mice; however, the mitogenic response to these antigens barely varied among NFS, C3H, and B10.BR strains. 相似文献

A two-colour fluorescence micro cytotoxicity test was used to screen antisera for antibodies specific for bovine B lymphocytes. A total of 114 cattle alloantisera were screened against peripheral blood lymphocytes from 100 unrelated individuals. Anti-B lymphocyte activity was detected in 47 antisera. Cytotoxic antibodies to antigens other than B lymphocyte specific antigens were removed by absorbing the antisera with buffy coat cells or platelets isolated from whole blood. Selected antisera were used to type paternal half-sib families. The presence of a polymorphic, MHS-linked antigen system on B lymphocytes was demonstrated. The tissue distribution and MHS linkage of these antigens suggests this system is analogous to the class II or Ia antigens of other species. 相似文献

Characteristic properties of the antigens recognized by sperm-immobilizing monoclonal antibodies (SI-mAbs) from different sources were compared by ELISA competitive inhibition assay, Western blot analysis, chromatographic analysis, and enzymatic digestion studies. Among 9 SI-mAbs, human mAb H6-3C4 and three mouse mAbs--2C6, 2B6, and 2E5--also possessed strong sperm-agglutinating activity. Binding of human mAb H6-3C4 to sperm was strongly inhibited by the three mouse mAbs (2C6, 2B6, and 2E5), but not by the rat or the other four mouse mAbs. SDS-PAGE revealed that mAb H6-3C4 and three mouse mAbs recognized the same antigen molecules of 15-25 kDa present in both sperm extracts and seminal plasma. Chemical treatments with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and sodium metaperiodate destroyed the antigen determinants recognized by the above four mAbs, as detected by both ELISA and antibody absorption tests. Western blot analysis revealed that the antigens were susceptible to treatments with papain, proteinase K, and N-glycanase, but resistant to trypsin, V8 protease, and thermolysin. These results indicate that one of the major antigens recognized by mAbs with sperm-immobilizing action may be a sperm membrane-associated glycoprotein of 15-25 kDa and the epitope may involve N-linked oligosaccharides. 相似文献

Sera were taken from 3 sheep that had been infested 5 times with Amblyomma americanum and that exhibited manifestations of humoral depression to homologous antigens and anti-tick resistance. Proteins extracted from the intestine or salivary glands of unfed ticks or salivary glands from partially (3-day) fed ticks were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE. Antigens recognized by the sheep in the same materials before and after each infestation were analyzed by western blots. The sheep responded to 44 antigens. Nine to 23 antigens were recognized by the preinfestation sera and the sera of 2 gnotobiotic sheep. Four antigens (34,000, 36,500, 38,000, and 115,000 MW) were revealed conspicuously by the serum of the first infestation but very weakly or not at all by the sera of the third infestation onward. Two antigens (35,500 and 29,000 MW) from fed salivary glands were revealed only by sera taken after manifestations of resistance had appeared. These antigens may be responsible for anti-tick protection. The 29,900 MW antigen was present also in salivary extracts of Boophilus microplus. 相似文献

A single intradermal injection of frozen and thawed schistosomula in conjunction with the bacterial adjuvant Mycobacterium bovis strain Bacille Calmette Guerin, Phipps substrain (BCG) induced significant levels of resistance to challenge Schistosoma mansoni infection in C57BL/6 mice. Immunization with the aqueous fraction remaining after 100,000 X G centrifugation of the larval lysate was also protective under these conditions, suggesting that some immunogenic determinants may not be membrane associated. Frozen-thawed cercariae and soluble components of adult worms also protected against challenge infection in these experiments. These observations indicate that soluble immunogens are present in both early and late developmental stages of the parasite, and therefore may be good candidate antigens for an immunochemically defined vaccine against schistosomiasis. Induction of humoral reactivity against soluble or membrane antigens was examined in mice protected against cercarial challenge by prior exposure to frozen-thawed larvae, soluble larval, or soluble adult antigens plus BCG. Animals that were immunized with frozen-thawed larvae produced low but significant levels of antibodies against larval surface antigens when examined by indirect immunofluorescence or by immunoprecipitation of surface-labeled schistosomula. Mice immunized with soluble antigens, however, showed negligible antibody reactivity against surface membrane antigens. Because mice immunized with soluble antigens were resistant to challenge infection, these results strongly suggest that anti-surface membrane reactivity is not required in the mechanism of protective immunity in this model. Sera from mice immunized with either total freeze-thaw larval lysate or soluble schistosome extracts all showed strong reactivity against soluble antigens, as detected by ELISA. Western blot analysis showed these antisera to react with a restricted number of high m.w. antigens that were present both in schistosomula and in adult worms. These antigens are therefore likely to play a major role in the development of resistance in this model as immunogens and/or as targets of protective immune response. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody (mAb) exhibiting a high degree of species specificity for the yeast phase of the dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum was produced by a modification of the standard mAb production protocol. The technique for generating mAbs involved the use of the immunosuppressive drug cyclophosphamide to diminish the response in mice to immunodominant cross-reactive epitopes. This mAb exhibited clear specificity and did not react by ELISA with the closely related genera Blastomyces, Paracoccidioides and Sporothrix. In Western blots it recognized a linear determinant on a 70-75 kDa molecule in H. capsulatum antigen, with an extremely faint reactivity to antigens of identical molecular mass derived from Sporothrix and Paracoccidioides, and no reactivity against Blastomyces antigen. 相似文献

A method for efficient gene isolation from phage lambda gt11 libraries: use of antisera to denatured, acetone-precipitated proteins 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Experience with cloning pseudorabies virus (PRV) DNA in the lambda gt11 phage vector has shown that there are special requirements for the antisera used in screening the libraries, in addition to the requirement that the antisera recognize proteins on a Western blot. Initial screening of a lambda gt11 library of sheared PRV DNA fragments in Escherichia coli for expression of PRV antigens using PRV hyperimmune antisera was unsuccessful. It was only after screening the library with antisera raised against PRV proteins eluted from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide (PA) gels that positive results were obtained. These "gel-slice" antisera (GSA) were equivalent in potency to hyperimmune antisera in standard immunoassays (including ELISA, immunoprecipitation, Western blots, and neutralization of virus), but only the GSA could recognize PRV fusion proteins expressed by recombinant lambda gt11 phage. This difference was seen despite the fact that hyperimmune antisera performed satisfactorily on Western blots of denatured PRV-infected cell extracts. These results show that the efficiency of screening expression libraries in E. coli can be improved if antibodies are raised against denatured proteins. 相似文献

Baylisascaris procyonis larval excretory-secretory (ES) antigens consisted of complex glycoproteins ranging from 10 kDa to over 200 kDa as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and lectin binding. Five monoclonal antibodies (Bapr1-Bapr5) produced against B. procyonis ES antigens were assayed by western blotting with larval ES antigens from B. procyonis, Baylisascaris melis, Baylisascaris transfuga, Ascaris suum, and Toxocara canis. Bapr1 and Bapr2 recognized periodate-sensitive epitopes on 14-kDa ES components of B. procyonis, B. melis, and B. transfuga, whereas Bapr4 and Bapr5 recognized periodate-resistant epitopes present on 55-kDa ES components of B. procyonis and B. melis. Bapr3 primarily recognized periodate-resistant epitopes on 33-45-kDa components of B. procyonis and B. melis ES. Heterologous rabbit antisera cross-reacted with many B. procyonis ES antigens on western blots, but recognition of the 33-45-kDa components was genus-specific. Normal human sera and T. canis-positive human sera also cross-reacted with many B. procyonis ES antigens, including those of 33-45 kDa. However, periodate oxidation markedly decreased cross-reactions and allowed for differential immunodiagnosis of B. procyonis versus T. canis. These studies demonstrated that antibody recognition of carbohydrate epitopes on ES components is an important cause of cross-reactions in antibody detection assays. Recognition of periodate-resistant (protein) epitopes on the 33-45-kDa B. procyonis ES components appears to be useful for genus-specific immunodiagnosis of larva migrans caused by Baylisascaris spp. 相似文献

Abstract Seven murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against serotype 1 of Actinobacillus (Haemophilus) pleuropneumoniae (reference strain Shope 4074) were produced and characterized. All hybridomas secreting mAbs were reactive with whole-cell antigens from reference strains of serotypes 1, 9 and 11, except for mAb 5D6 that failed to recognize serotype 9. They did not react with other taxonomically related Gram-negative organisms tested. The predominant isotype was immunoglobulin (Ig) M, although IgG2a , IgG2b , and IgG3 were also obtained. The epitopes identified by these mAbs were resistant to proteinase K treatment and boiling in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and reducing conditions; however, they were sensitive to sodium periodate treatment. Enhanced chemiluminescence-immunodetection assay showed that mAbs could be divided in two groups according to the patterns of immunoreaction observed. Group I (mAbs 3E10, 4B7, 9H5 and 11C3) recognized a ladder-like banding profile consistent with the O antigen of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from smooth strains. Group II (mAbs 3B10 and 9H1) recognized a long smear of high molecular weight which ranged from 60 to 200 kDa. The mAbs were tested against 96 field isolates belonging to serotypes 1, 5, 9, 11 and 12, which had previously been classified by a combination of serological techniques based on polyclonal rabbit sera (counterimmunoelectrophoresis, immunodiffusion and coagglutination). The panel of mAbs identified all isolates of serotypes 9 and 11, but only 66% of those belonging to serotype 1. This may suggest the existence of antigenic heterogeneity among isolates of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 1. These mAbs reacted with epitopes common to serotypes 1, 9 and 11 of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae which were located on the O antigen of LPS. 相似文献

B lymphocyte alloantigens in cattle were identified by serological analysis. Alloantisera were raised by skin implant immunization or leucocyte immunization and were absorbed with platelets to reduce class I-specific antibody activity. Leucocyte absorptions were done to reduce the complexity of some antisera. A panning technique was used to prepare B-enriched and B-depleted lymphocytes. Antisera which displayed anti-B cell activity over a number of dilutions were tested against 115 Charolais cattle, and 13 antisera were used to define five B lymphocyte alloantigens. These antigens were present on B lymphocytes but did not appear to be present, at least at the same density, on the majority of T lymphocytes or platelets. Family studies suggested that these antigens are coded by one or two loci which are closely linked to the bovine class I loci. These results suggest the five antigens are class II antigens of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of cattle. 相似文献

The excretory/secretory antigens released during in vitro culture of infective third-stage Heligmosomoides polygyrus larvae were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoblotting using sera from repeatedly infected mice. During the first 8-10 hr of culture at 37 C, freshly exsheathed larvae released only one antigen that cosedimented with trypsin (24 kDa) upon ultracentrifugation and was composed of a single 23-kDa polypeptide chain. After 10 hr of culture, the larvae released additional antigens identified by bands equivalent to polypeptides of approximately 18, 25, 26, 32, 58, and 76 kDa on nonreduced Western blots. The release of these molecules was maintained for up to 60 hr. Their staining intensity on blots was in the order 23 much greater than 25 greater than 76 greater than 18 greater than or equal to 58 greater than or equal to 32 greater than or equal to 26 kDa. Velocity sedimentation analysis showed that the 76-kDa component exists as a monomeric 76-kDa "native" antigen. The 32-, 58-, and 76-kDa antigens were specifically adsorbed by concanavalin A (Con A)-Sepharose and the 76-kDa molecule was detected on blots incubated with alkaline phosphatase-conjugated Con A, indicating the presence of mannose-like residues on these molecules. The 18-, 23-, 25-, and 26-kDa antigens did not bind to Con A-Sepharose. Hyperimmune antisera raised against lyophilized larvae had negligible antibody activity against the larval ES antigens, suggesting that the ES antigens are released soon after synthesis rather than being stored in significant quantities within the larvae. 相似文献

Abstract Protein antigens from whole cell sonicates of Porphyromonas gingivalis W50, previously shown to be discriminatory antigens for patients with adult periodontitis, were purified using SDS-PAGE. Electroeluted proteins were used to immunize mice for the production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). A combination of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting were used to screen hybridoma supernatants for mAbs. MAbs were successfully raised against M r 115 000, M r 55 000 and M r 47 000 antigens together with a second M r 55 000 polypeptide which was a contaminant of the M r 55 000 antigen. No immunological cross-reactivity was found between these four proteins. The mAbs were used to examine the distribution of these antigens among fifteen P. gingivalis strains together with related oral bacteria using immunostaining of dot blots and Western blots. The antigens were confined to P. gingivalis with the M r 115 000 and M r 47 000 antigens being present in all strains tested . The distribution of the M r 55 000 antigens were slightly more restricted: one M r 55 000 (outer membrane location) was present in nine of the fifteen P. gingivalis strains tested, while the other M r 55 000 (location unknown) was only absent from one strain. Whole cell ELISA demonstrated that the M r 115 000 and the outer membrane M r 55 000 antigen possess epitopes which are located on the surface of the bacterium. 相似文献

The chicken oviduct contains two different hormone binding forms of the progesterone receptor, A and B. We have prepared rat antisera against both forms of the receptor partially purified from laying hen oviduct. The anti-progesterone receptor A antiserum reacts with both receptor forms on Western blots, while the anti-progesterone receptor B antiserum reacts mainly with the B form. Both antisera also react with the native progesterone receptor proteins as shown by sedimentation analysis of the antibody-receptor complexes. Receptors A and B are recognized on Western blots of total protein from dissolved tissue, indicating that both forms are likely to be physiological components. Epitope mapping experiments show that immunogenicity of both receptor molecules is restricted to structurally related protein domains of 28 kDa in receptor A and of 52 kDa in receptor B. 相似文献

The roles of the fimbrial subunit and the putative basal protein antigens in the serological classification of Bacteroides nodosus have been examined by Western blot (immunoblot)-antibody binding studies of fimbriae isolated from a wide range of strains representative of different serogroups and serotypes. Fimbrial subunits were recognized by antiserum against the homologous serogroup but not generally by heterologous antisera, whereas recognition of the basal antigen was independent of serological classification. Secondary cross-reaction patterns among fimbrial subunits indicated that some serogroups may be more closely related than others. Examples include serogroups C and G and serogroups D and H. Similar analyses of isolates classified within serotypes A1 and A2, with serotype-specific antisera, showed that this subdivision is also determined by the fimbrial subunit and that significant variation does occur even at this level. These studies suggest that the various serogroups and serotypes of B. nodosus comprise a series of overlapping sets of antigenically related strains. 相似文献

Peptide-specific antibodies as probes of the orientation of the glucose transporter in the human erythrocyte membrane 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18

Antibodies were raised in rabbits against synthetic peptides corresponding to the N-terminal (residues 1-15) and the C-terminal (residues 477-492) regions of the human erythrocyte glucose transporter. The antisera recognized the intact transporter in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and Western blots. In addition, the anti-C-terminal peptide antibodies were demonstrated, by competitive ELISA and by immunoadsorption experiments, to bind to the native transporter. Competitive ELISA, using intact erythrocytes, unsealed erythrocyte membranes, or membrane vesicles of known sidedness as competing antigen, showed that these antibodies bound only to the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane, indicating that the C terminus of the protein is exposed to the cytoplasm. On Western blots, the anti-N-terminal peptide antiserum labeled the glycosylated tryptic fragment of the transporter, of apparent Mr = 23,000-42,000, showing that this originates from the N-terminal half of the protein. The anti-C-terminal peptide antiserum labeled higher Mr precursors of the Mr = 18,000 tryptic fragment, although not the fragment itself, indicating that the latter, with its associated cytochalasin B binding site, is derived from the C-terminal half of the protein. Antiserum against the intact transporter recognized the C-terminal peptide on ELISA, and the Mr = 18,000 fragment but not the glycosylated tryptic fragment on Western blots. 相似文献

The immunization of cattle with the Boophilus microplus Bm86 antigen has been successful for the control of cattle tick infestations. To monitor the Bm86 production process and to measure the anti-Bm86 antibody titers in vaccinated cattle, mAb-based ELISA were developed and validated. The development of both immunological methods is essential to obtain a product with high quality and immunogenic properties and to monitor the immunological protection induced in vaccinated cattle against B. microplus. 相似文献

Streptococci isolated from the dental plaque of five animal species were identified by physiological and serological methods. Twenty-nine strains of streptococci considered to resemble Streptococcus mitior or Strep. bovis on the basis of physiological data reacted with Lancefield group B or group K antisera respectively in tube precipitation tests. Further serological studies with standardized antigens from known serogroup B and K streptococci revealed that only three of these 29 isolates had been serogrouped accurately and carried the appropriate group antigen. Comparisons were made between the reactivity of the antisera produced by Difco and Wellcome Reagents with acid and autoclaved extracts of the strains. It was shown that the accuracy of serogrouping such isolates could be improved if the tests were made in a gel diffusion system that included a reference antigen. 相似文献
