The Human T lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) infects predominantly T cells, inducing proliferation and lymphocyte activation. Additionally, HTLV-1 infected subjects are more susceptible to other infections caused by other intracellular agents. Monocytes/macrophages are important cells in the defense against intracellular pathogens. Our aims were to determine the frequency of monocytes subsets, expression of co-stimulatory molecules in these cells and to evaluate microbicidal ability and cytokine and chemokine production by macrophages from HTLV-1 infected subjects. Participants were 23 HTLV-1 carriers (HC), 22 HAM/TSP patients and 22 healthy subjects (HS) not infected with HTLV-1. The frequencies of monocyte subsets and expression of co-stimulatory molecules were determined by flow cytometry. Macrophages were infected with L. braziliensis or stimulated with LPS. Microbicidal activity of macrophages was determined by optic microscopy. Cytokines/chemokines from macrophage supernatants were measured by ELISA. HAM/TSP patients showed an increase frequency of intermediate monocytes, but expression of co-stimulatory molecules was similar between the groups. Macrophages from HTLV-1 infected individuals were infected with L. braziliensis at the same ratio than macrophages from HS, and all the groups had the same ability to kill Leishmania parasites. However, macrophages from HTLV-1 infected subjects produced more CXCL9 and CCL5, and less IL-10 than cells from HS. While there was no correlation between IFN-γ and cytokine/chemokine production by macrophages, there was a correlation between proviral load and TNF and CXCL10. These data showed a dissociation between the inflammatory response and microbicidal ability of macrophages from HTLV-1 infected subjects. While macrophages ability to kill an intracellular pathogen did not differ among HTLV-1 infected subjects, these cells secreted high amount of chemokines even in unstimulated cultures. Moreover the increasing inflammatory activity of macrophages was similar in HAM/TSP patients and HC and it was related to HTLV-1 proviral load rather than the high IFN-γ production observed in these subjects. 相似文献

Secretory IgA specific for Toxoplasma gondii 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Secretory IgA specific for Toxoplasma gondii was identified in intestinal secretions of mice infected perorally with bradyzoites (encysted in brain) of the Me49 strain of T. gondii by using immunofluorescence microscopy and an ELISA. This activity was absorbed with tachyzoites of T. gondii but not mouse brain. To determine whether increased total amount of intestinal IgA might cause a nonspecific reaction in the ELISA for T. gondii-specific IgA, mice were immunized perorally with cholera toxin. This immunization produced intestinal IgA antibody to cholera toxin and increased the total amount of intestinal IgA, but there was no reactivity of intestinal secretions in the ELISA for T. gondii-specific IgA. Experiments in which ELISA were performed with monoclonal IgA, IgG, or IgM and antisera to IgA, IgG, or IgM demonstrated that the ELISA was specific for each Ig class. In addition, monoclonal IgA competed with the anti-Toxoplasma IgA activity of intestinal secretions obtained from mice infected with T. gondii. 相似文献

DNAase activity of 110 samples of IgG from the blood of AIDS patients was analyzed. It was shown that the relative activity of preparations varies very much from patient to patient, but 96% preparations show detectable level of DNAase activity. Several rigid criteria were applied and it was shown that DNAase activity is an intrinsic property of antibodies from AIDS patients. It was shown that catalytic activity could posses not only intact IgG, but also separated light chains of polyclonal antibodies. The abzymes catalyze DNA hydrolysis effectively in a wild range of pH (5.0-9.5). K(M) and V(MaKC) values of antibody-dependent hydrolysis of DNA was estimated. 相似文献

Ten stable hybridoma cell lines, M As l -10, secreting monoclonal antibodies specific to the causal bacterium of pear leaf scorch (PLS), Xylella fastidiosa. were produced. The monoclonal antibodies can detect 3 × 105 PLS-bacterium cells by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In the antibody titer determination by indirect ELISA, hybridoma-culture supernatant from clone MA4 had the highest titer of 20480. In the antibody specificity tests, nine of the 10 monoclonal antibodies did not cross-react with 14 other bacterial strains belonging to nine genera. Only the antibody from hybridoma clone MAI cross-reacted with Xanthomonas campestris pv. cam-pestris and X. campestris pv. vesicatoria. In western blot analysis, all the monoclonal antibodies recognized the major 46.9-kDa polypeptide from all 12 X. fastidiosa strains and a distinct 21.5-kDa polypeptide only from PLS bacterium. In tissue-blotting detection, the PLS bacteria were specifically detected in blots of tissue sections from infected pear with the antibodies developed. 相似文献

Purified H.8 (Lip) antigen was coupled to tresyl-activated Sepharose 4B and used in affinity columns to purify anti-Lip antibodies from convalescent patient sera and from immune rabbit sera. Affinity-purified anti-Lip antibodies isolated from two convalescent patient sera contained 1000 and 1280 ELISA units of antibody and included antibodies of IgG, IgA, and IgM isotypes. An anti-Lip mouse monoclonal ascites (2-1-CA2) had 28,400 ELISA units of antibody. Bactericidal assays were performed using three different case strains of Neisseria meningitidis group B, namely 44/76, 8532, and 8047. Neither preparation of purified human anti-Lip antibodies had detectable bactericidal activity against strains 44/76 and 8532, but one of the two had a titer of 1:4 against strain 8047. Anti-Lip antibodies that were purified from immune rabbit serum and contained 1600 ELISA units of anti-Lip antibodies also failed to show detectable bactericidal activity. The rabbits were immunized with purified Lip antigen and showed specific antibody levels of 2000-2200 units by ELISA, but even the unfractionated sera had little or no bactericidal activity against the test strains. The high titer mouse monoclonal ascites had no bactericidal activity against the test strains. The poor bactericidal activity associated with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to the Lip antigen suggest that in spite of other attractive properties it may not be useful as a meningococcal vaccine. 相似文献

Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) from porcine brain was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography, and the highly purified enzyme was subsequently used for immunization of mice and rabbits. After fusion of mouse spleen cells, 32 cultures producing monoclonal antibodies directed against ChAT were detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with immunoaffinity-purified ChAT. Of these original 32, the most active 11 cultures were cloned and used for ascites production. The 11 clones generated monoclonal antibodies of the immunoglobulin (Ig) M class (three), the IgG1 subclass (seven), and the IgG2b subclass (one). The isoelectric points of the antibodies of the IgG class were different in each case. The monoclonal antibodies exhibited different binding characteristics in the above ELISA and on western blots. Two monoclonal antibodies demonstrated excellent immunohistological results with neurons of rat brain and spinal cord. One of them reacted well immunohistochemically with neurons of human brain and also recognized partially purified human placenta ChAT in the ELISA. 相似文献

Two procedures have been used for measuring antibody titres to bovine herpes virus 1 (BHV1): the serum neutralization (SN) test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). One hundred and thirty-two sera selected for their low SN titres were tested both unadsorbed and after adsorption with kaolin to determine the effect of kaolin on the titres. With ELISA, the titres of unadsorbed and kaolin adsorbed were not significantly different but with the SN test many treated sera, originally with weak positive titres, became negative after kaolin adsorption. Thus, if the ELISA results are specific for BHV1 antibody then the SN test findings suggest that treatment of sera with kaolin, rather than removing a viral inhibitor, removes a substance from the serum which potentiates SN antibody. This in turn indicates that low SN titres (reciprocal of titre less than or equal to 4, for instance) are probably specific for BHV1 SN antibody whether or not they are abolished by kaolin treatment of the serum. 相似文献

A human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection-enhancing factor in seropositive sera 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

While testing sera for Human Immunodeficiency Virus neutralizing antibody titers, three sera were identified which had the ability to enhance infectivity of the virus. The sera were from three different individuals residing in Nashville, TN. The enhancing factor was not removed by either filtration through 0.05 micron filters or by incubation for one hour with a stoichiometric amount of protein A sepharose. Two of the sera were able to enhance infection by two divergent isolates (HTLV-IIIB and HTLV-IIIRF) while one was only capable of enhancing infection of target cells by HTLV-IIIB. None of the sera induced syncytium formation in chronic HIV-infected cells. The findings suggest that the substance is neither a virus nor an IgG class 1 or 2. 相似文献

Production and some characteristics of monoclonal antibodies against beet necrotic yellow vein virus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Four rat monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) were produced. In indirect ELISA, all four MAbs reacted strongly with BNYVV infected plant leaf extracts (19 isolates from eight countries) but they did not react with beet soil-borne virus (BSBV), an unnamed rod-shaped soil-borne beet virus isolate (86 - 109) from Sweden or barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV). However, two of the MAbs, MAFF 6 and MAFF 7 did not detect BNYVV in ELISA of infected sugar beet roots whereas MAbs MAFF 8 and MAFF 9 did detect virus in root extracts. In electro-blot immunoassay (EBIA), MAFF 6 and MAFF 7 readily detected BNYVV coat protein from leaf extracts whereas MAFF 8 and MAFF 9 reacted only weakly. None of the MAbs reacted with BSBV, 86 - 109, BSMV or plum pox virus in EBIA. MAFF 6 coated BNYVV particles which were trapped from infected leaf or root sap on to electron microscope grids by polyclonal antibodies. MAFF 6 was partially purified from tissue culture supernatant fluid by cation exchange chromatography and the preparation used to coat microtitre plates and successfully trap BNYVV in ELISA of leaf sap extracts. 相似文献

Gangliosides, sialic acid-bearing glycosphingolipids, are highly enriched in the vertebrate nervous system. Anti-ganglioside antibodies are associated with various human neuropathies, although the pathogenicity of these antibodies remains unproven. Testing the pathogenic role of anti-ganglioside antibodies will be facilitated by developing high-affinity IgG-class complement-fixing monoclonal anti-bodies against major brain gangliosides, a goal that has been difficult to achieve. In this study, mice lacking complex gangliosides were used as immune-naive hosts to raise anti-ganglioside antibodies. Wild-type mice and knockout mice with a disrupted gene for GM2/GD2 synthase (UDP-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine : GM3/GD3 N-acetyl-D-glactosaminyltransferase) were immunized with GD1a conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. The knockout mice produced a vigorous anti-GD1a IgG response, whereas wildtype littermates failed to do so. Fusion of spleen cells from an immunized knockout mouse with myeloma cells yielded numerous IgG anti-GD1a antibody-producing colonies. Ganglioside binding studies revealed two specificity classes; one colony representing each class was cloned and characterized. High-affinity monoclonal antibody was produced by each hybridoma : an IgG1 that bound nearly exclusively to GD1a and an IgG2b that bound GD1a, GT1b, and GT1aalpha. Both antibodies readily readily detected gangliosides via ELISA, TLC immune overlay, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry. In contrast to prior reports using anti-GD1a and anti-GT1b IgM class monoclonal antibodies, the new antibodies bound avidly to granule neurons in brain tissue sections and cell cultures. Mice lacking complex gangliosides are improved hosts for raising high-affinity, high-titer anti-ganglioside IgG antibodies for probing for the distribution and physiology of gangliosides and the pathophysiology of anti-ganglioside antibodies. 相似文献

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most frequent cause of lower respiratory disease in infants, but no vaccine or effective therapy is available. The initiation of RSV infection of immortalized cells is largely dependent on cell surface heparan sulfate (HS), a receptor for the RSV attachment (G) glycoprotein in immortalized cells. However, RSV infects the ciliated cells in primary well differentiated human airway epithelial (HAE) cultures via the apical surface, but HS is not detectable on this surface. Here we show that soluble HS inhibits infection of immortalized cells, but not HAE cultures, confirming that HS is not the receptor on HAE cultures. Conversely, a “non-neutralizing” monoclonal antibody against the G protein that does not block RSV infection of immortalized cells, does inhibit infection of HAE cultures. This antibody was previously shown to block the interaction between the G protein and the chemokine receptor CX3CR1 and we have mapped the binding site for this antibody to the CX3C motif and its surrounding region in the G protein. We show that CX3CR1 is present on the apical surface of ciliated cells in HAE cultures and especially on the cilia. RSV infection of HAE cultures is reduced by an antibody against CX3CR1 and by mutations in the G protein CX3C motif. Additionally, mice lacking CX3CR1 are less susceptible to RSV infection. These findings demonstrate that RSV uses CX3CR1 as a cellular receptor on HAE cultures and highlight the importance of using a physiologically relevant model to study virus entry and antibody neutralization. 相似文献

The effect of Semliki Forest virus (SFV) infection of murine spleen mononuclear cells was investigated in vitro. A small percentage of spleen macrophages expressed viral antigens, but no infectious virus particles were released, indicating an abortive-type infection. Wild-type SFV infected a higher percentage of macrophages than the attenuated, demyelinating mutant A7. The proliferation of spleen mononuclear cells under Con A stimulation was inhibited by the viral infection. The supernatant (SN) harvested from infected and Con A-stimulated spleen adherent cells could not stimulate thymocytes in an interleukin 1 (IL-1) assay and indomethacin treatment of infected cultures had no effect. The stimulatory effect of SN from noninfected cultures in the IL-1 assay was reduced when SN from infected cultures was added, suggesting the presence of an IL-1 inhibitor. Interleukin 2 (IL-2) production by splenocytes also decreased after viral infection, but exogenous IL-2 restored the response to Con A stimulation of infected spleen cells. This study demonstrates that abortive SFV infection of spleen macrophages has an immunosuppressive effect which may lead to an aberrant immune regulation. 相似文献

The F strain of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) was tested for its ability to produce lytic or nonproductive infection in squamous epithelial cells cultured in a three-dimensional organotypic tissue culture. For the tissue culture, we used HaCat cells (immortalized skin keratinocytes) and normal fibroblasts derived from the skin. The cultures were infected with HSV-1 (5 PFU) either when the epithelial cells had grown as a monolayer with a confluence of 80% on the collagen fibroblast gel or 30 min after lifting of the epithelial cells into the air-liquid interface. The cultures were collected 1 week after inoculation. Typical cytopathic effects of HSV infection (ballooning and reticular degeneration with multinucleate giant cells) were seen only in those cultures in which the epithelial cells were infected before lifting. The presence of HSV was confirmed by DNA and RNA in situ hybridization and PCR. No morphological changes were found in cultures infected after lifting into the air-liquid interface. No infectious virus was recovered either from cells or culture supernatant. However, these cultures were positive for HSV DNA on PCR and showed expression of the LAT gene by in situ hybridization and Northern blot (RNA) hybridization. The present results indicate that both nonproductive and lytic HSV infection can be produced in vitro and the outcome of the infection depends on the time of viral inoculation in relation to epithelial maturation. 相似文献

Heterologous antibody responses in mice with chronic T. cruzi infection: depressed T helper function restored with supernatants containing interleukin 2 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

Antibody production to sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) or hapten-conjugated SRBC (TNP-SRBC) was studied in mice with chronic Trypanosoma cruzi infections. Studies in vivo demonstrated that both IgM and IgG anti-SRBC responses were suppressed during chronic infection. Secondary IgG responses were suppressed regardless of whether the primary immunization was given before or after infection. The ability of cells from infected mice to provide help for antibody production was examined in vitro. Anti-SRBC responses were restored to cultures of whole spleen cells from infected mice by the addition of interleukin 2 (IL 2)-rich supernatants, indicating that these cells were capable of antibody production when sufficient help was provided. T cells from SRBC-primed infected mice were unable to provide significant help to normal B cell/M phi cultures for in vitro anti-TNP or anti-SRBC responses. The percentages of Thy-1+, Lyt-1+, and Lyt-2+ spleen cells were not significantly different between normal and infected mice. Anti-TNP and anti-SRBC responses were restored to cultures that contained T cells from infected mice and normal B cell/M phi by the addition of IL 2-rich spleen cell supernatants. The suppression of in vitro antibody responses in mice with chronic T. cruzi infections was associated with a lack of T cell help, which was provided by exogenous spleen cell supernatant. 相似文献

Specific rabbit polyclonal antibodies against bacterially expressed coat protein of Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV, genus Nanovirus) were produced using a recombinant DNA approach. The FBNYV capsid protein (CP) gene located on component 5 was cloned in an expression vector pQE‐9 (Qiagen, QIAGEN Inc., Chatswortch, CA91311, USA). Expression of the CP with an N‐terminal hexahistidine tag in Escheri‐ chia coli M15 cells was induced by adding isopropyl‐3‐D ‐1‐thiogalactoside (IPTG) to a final concentration of 2 mM . About 8 mg of bacterially expressed CP (BE‐CP) was purified from 1 litre of bacterial liquid culture using a Ni‐NTA resin column (Qiagen). The expressed CP which migrated as a protein of approximately 23 kDa in sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was identified by its strong reaction with polyclonal antibodies produced against FBNYV particles and 2‐5H9 FBNYV‐monoclonal in Western blots. Expressed and purified CP (SDS‐PAGE 23 kDa band) was injected into a white rabbit, using seven intramuscular injections at weekly intervals. The antiserum produced was evaluated for FBNYV detection in double antibody sandwich (DAS)‐enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), triple antibody sandwich (TAS)‐ELISA, tissue blot immunoassay (TBIA), dot blot, Western blot and goat antimouse coating (GAMC)‐ELISA using 13 different FBNYV monoclonal antibodies. The antiserum raised against the BE‐CP gave strong FBNYV‐specific TBIA reactions and very weak background reactions with non‐infected tissue, similar to those produced by monoclonal antibodies. Furthermore, BE‐CP polyclonal antibody reacted weakly with FBNYV‐infected tissue and strongly with BE‐CP in DAS‐ELISA, but not with FBNYV‐infected tissue in TAS‐ELISA when 13 detecting monoclonal antibodies were used. In addition, BE‐CP polyclonal antibody reacted strongly with BE‐CP in TAS‐ELISA only when 2‐5H9 detecting monoclonal was used. When monoclonals were used as primary antibody and BE‐CP polyclonal as detecting antibody (GAMC‐ELISA), FBNYV‐infected tissue gave moderate reactions with 2‐5H9 and strong reactions with 3‐2E9 monoclonal, whereas BE‐CP gave equally strong reactions with both monoclonals. These results showed that the BE‐CP polyclonal antibody is useful for the detection of FBNYV in infected tissue by TBIA and dot blot tests. 相似文献

This paper describes the finding of monoclonal antibody (MoAb) more reactive to cell-surface alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) than to free AFP by using a simple in vitro system. Twelve mouse MoAbs, ten IgG1, one IgG2a and one IgG2b, against human AFP from hepatocellular carcinoma were obtained by the cell fusion technique. Each hybridoma supernatant was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to solid-phase AFP. The assay results showed that two MoAbs, 67D and 80G, were most reactive to AFP. 80G had a higher affinity constant than 67D, while the both reactions were similarly difficult to inhibit by free AFP in ELISA. 67D and 80G reacted with AFP on the surface of ethanol-fixed cells from the human hepatoma cell line HuH-7 and this reaction was also difficult to inhibit by free AFP in Cell ELISA. Furthermore, Western blot analysis showed that 67D and 80G were more reactive to membrane-bound AFP than other antibodies. These findings first suggest that there could be anti-AFP MoAbs preferably binding to cell-surface AFP rather than to serum AFP. 相似文献
