Heparin, a glycosaminoglycan synthesized in connective tissue-mast cells, appeared to inhibit the hemagglutination of rabbit erythrocytes induced by the filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), a major adhesin of Bordetella pertussis. This inhibition suggested an interaction of heparin with the FHA region responsible for the hemagglutination activity. FHA-heparin interactions may play a role in bacterial attachment and persistence in the lungs during human pertussis. To confirm a direct FHA-heparin interaction, heparin was used as ligand in an affinity chromatography procedure. This technique allowed to purify FHA directly from the bacterial culture medium in a single-step using heparin-Sepharose CL-6B or Zetaffinity heparin 60 disks. The purified FHA was highly immunoreactive with anti-FHA monoclonal antibodies and showed no signs of degradation after 15 successive cycles of freezing-thawing. The described purification method is simple, and suitable for the rapid preparation of FHA. 相似文献

Abstract Intra-nasal immunization of mice with purified Bordetella pertussis filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA) or a crude cell sonicate was shown to protect against subsequent B. pertussis aerosol challenge. Immunization with FHA was found to be the most effective and resulted in complete clearance of the bacterial infection from the lungs within 14 days. Serum IgG and lung IgA anti-FHA antibodies were detectable within 4 weeks of the first immunization and anamnestic responses were seen following secondary immunization and subsequent challenge with B. pertussis . Nasal administration of pertussis is a route which induces good systemic serum, as well as local secretory, antibody responses. 相似文献

Abstract It has been demonstrated that filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA) purified from Bordetella pertussis is stable on static incubation but is unstable and quickly loses HA activity when incubated with shaking. Methylβcyclodextrin (CD) was found to have a concentration-dependent stabilizing effect on FHA incubated with shaking, suggesting that the ability of CD to enhance yields of FHA in shaken cultures could be wholly or partly due to a stabilizing effect of CD on FHA. However, only weak binding of CD to FHA was demonstrated by an ultrafiltration micropartition method and binding of CD to B. pertussis cells was not related to the presence or absence of FHA on the cell surface. 相似文献

Inhibition of Bordetella pertussis filamentous hemagglutinin-mediated cell adherence with monoclonal antibodies 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Abstract Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), a 220-kDa protein located on the surface of Bordetella pertussis , is one of the major cell adhesins of this bacterium. We have produced three hybridoma cell lines that express monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against FHA: X3C, X3E and X4B. The anti-FHA mAbs X3C and X3E reacted with 220-kDa FHA protein bands on Western blots. The mAb X4B, which reacted with FHA in ELISA, did not bind to FHA in a Western blot assay. All three mAbs seemed to be directed to the same epitope or to epitopes in close proximity as suggested by competition ELISAs. All three mAbs were able to inhibit the adherence of Chinese hamster ovary cells to purified FHA, and they could also inhibit the FHA-mediated agglutination of goose red blood cells. The attachment of B. pertussis to epithelial cell monolayers was inhibited by the mAb X3C. These antibodies are very useful probes to identify the presence of FHA in bordetellae species and in clinical reagents such as pertussis vaccines, and to characterize the functional domains of this important bacterial adhesin. 相似文献

To analyze the described lysogenic conversion of Bordetella parapertussis to a Bordetella pertussis-like form we used the phage 134 to lysogenize a B. parapertussis strain. Southern blot analysis of the isolated ‘lysogens’ showed that they were not true lysogens, but rather chronically infected strains. These pseudo-lysogens did not show any changes in virulence properties compared with the parental strain. The only difference we could show was a change in the LPS-structure: the pseudolysogens had a rough LPS, like B. pertussis, whereas the parental B. parapertussis strain was smooth. 相似文献

Attachment to epithelial cells in the respiratory tract is a key event in Bordetella pertussis colonization. Filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA) is an important virulence factor mediating adhesion to host cells. In this study, the relevance of the interaction between FHA and adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT) during bacterial attachment was investigated. Mutants lacking either FHA or ACT showed significantly decreased adherence to epithelial respiratory cells. The use of several ACT-specific monoclonal antibodies and antiserum showed that the decrease in attachment of strains lacking ACT expression could not be explained by the adhesin-like activity of ACT, or a change of any of the biological activities of ACT. Immunoblot analysis showed that the lack of ACT expression did not interfere with FHA localization. An heparin-inhibitable carbohydrate-binding site is crucial in the process of FHA-mediated bacterial binding to epithelial cells. In the presence of heparin attachment of wild-type B. pertussis, but not of the isogenic ACT defective mutant, to epithelial cells was significantly decreased. These results suggest that ACT enhances the adhesive functions of FHA, and modifies the performance of the FHA heparin-inhibitable carbohydrate binding site. We propose that the presence of ACT in the outer membrane of B. pertussis to play a role in the functionality of FHA. 相似文献

Abstract Adherence of B. pertussis to NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts was efficiently inhibited by a mouse immune serum reacting specifically with the filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA), whereas a mouse immune serum reacting specifically with the pertussis toxin (Ptx) produced partial inhibition only significant after 3 h infection. Protection against cytopathic effects on infected 3T3 cells with anti-FHA antibodies was at least as effective (83.3%± 7.5) as with anti-Ptx antibodies (75%± 4). This suggests that adherence of B. pertussis to eukaryotic receptors is a primary mechanism determining both bacterial proliferation and toxic effects in susceptible cells, and that prevention of B. pertussis attachment to cell receptors might be sufficient to protect against both infectious and toxic processes in whooping cough. 相似文献

Antimicrobial effect of human milk on Bordetella pertussis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
It has been demonstrated that human milk, unlike bovine milk, can reduce the viability of Bordetella pertussis. This antibacterial activity was not due to the presence of antibiotics or antibodies in the human milk. Reducing the level of available iron or increasing the concentration of lysozyme in bovine milk did not induce anti-B. pertussis activity. Analysis of total fatty acids revealed that human milk contained significantly more linoleic acid than bovine milk. However, the addition of linoleic acid to bovine milk did not inhibit the growth of B. pertussis. 相似文献

Pertactin, which is a membrane-associated antigen of Bordetella pertussis and which is present in many acellular vaccines against whooping cough, has been reported to be similar to the homologous
protein in Bordetella bronchiseptica. By running parallel experiments using proteins derived from the two species, we show that the isoelectric point of pertactin
from B. pertussis is lower than reported and clearly distinguishable from the homologous protein of B. bronchiseptica.

Variability in LPS composition, antigenicity and reactogenicity of phase variants of Bordetella pertussis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Comparison of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from phase variants of different strains of Bordetella phase variants of different strains of Bordetella pertussis has shown a difference in their composition, antigenicity and reactogenicity. Phase I variants of B. pertussis, with the exception of strain 134, contain a preponderance of LPS I whereas the major component of LPS of phase IV variants is LPS II. Sera raised to LPSs of phase I strains, other than 134, cross-react with each other but not with phase IV LPSs; and similarly all sera raised to phase IV LPSs cross-react with each other and with LPS from 134 phase I. The LPSs of all phase I variants, including that of 134, are approximately ten-fold or more reactive in the limulus amoebocyte lysate assay (LAL) than phase IV LPSs. In the human mononuclear cell pyrogen assay phase IV LPSs also stimulated a lower response than phase I LPSs. The B. pertussis phase I LPSs are 10-times more reactive than Escherichia coli standard endotoxin in the LAL assay but 100-times less reactive than E. coli LPS in the monocyte test for pyrogen. The SDS-PAGE profiles of B. pertussis LPSs are quite different from those of B. parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica strains. B. pertussis LPSs produced a typical lipo-oligosaccharide (LOS) pattern. B. bronchiseptica LPS produced a similar pattern but was antigenically distinct from B. pertussis LPSs I and II. B. parapertussis in contrast produced a ladder pattern typical of smooth type LPS. 相似文献

Bordetella pertussis is a re-emerging human respiratory pathogen whose infectious process is not fully understood, hampering the design of effective vaccines. The nature of bacterial attachment to host cells is a key event in the outcome of the infection. However, host cell receptors involved in B. pertussis colonization of the respiratory tract are still under investigation. Here, we report that cholesterol-rich domains are involved in B. pertussis adhesion to epithelial cells. Treatment of A549 cells with cholesterol-sequestering drugs such as methyl-β-cyclodextrin, nystatin, or filipin resulted in a significant decrease of B. pertussis attachment. Confocal laser microscopy studies showed B. pertussis associated with cholesterol-rich domains. Accordingly, B. pertussis was found in detergent-resistant membrane domain fractions isolated from bacterial-infected A549 cells. Our results indicate a main role of filamentous hemagglutinin, an environmentally regulated virulence factor, in this interaction, and a specific affinity for cholesterol, one of the major components of traqueal secretions, which might additionally contribute to the effective colonization of the respiratory tract. 相似文献

The nine ptl genes (A-I) are required for efficient secretion of pertussis toxin past the outer membrane. Mutations were made in ptlA-H by filling in unique restriction sites, generating in-frame deletions, or inserting a FLAG epitope tag. The mutations were cloned into a suicide shuttle plasmid containing the ptxptl operon and introduced into the adenylate cyclase locus of the chromosome of a Bordetella pertussis strain deleted for ptx. The wild-type ptxptl operon restored pertussis toxin expression and secretion. The ptl mutant constructs also restored expression of periplasmic pertussis toxin to the ptx deletion strain but the mutants had a statistically significant decrease in secretion of pertussis toxin of between 5- to 35-fold, suggesting all of the ptl genes must be intact for efficient pertussis toxin secretion. The mutations were also introduced into the adenylate cyclase locus of a wild-type ptxptl strain, resulting in a ptl diploid strain. The PtlC, PtlD, PtlE, PtlF, PtlG and PtlH mutants exerted dominance over the wild-type allele. 相似文献

Bordetella pertussis must survive the defenses of the human respiratory tract including the complement system. The BrkA (Bordetella resistance to killing) protein prevents killing by the antibody-dependent classical pathway. In this study, the ability of B. pertussis to activate the human complement cascade by other pathways was examined. B. pertussis was not killed in serum depleted of C2, however serum depleted for factor B killed B. pertussis as efficiently as intact serum, suggesting complement activation occurred exclusively by the classical pathway. B. pertussis was not killed by serum depleted of antibody, suggesting the bacteria fail to activate the antibody-independent branches of the classical pathway, including the mannose binding lectin pathway. Mutants lacking the terminal trisaccharide of lipopolysaccharide retained the complement-resistant phenotype, suggesting this structure does not influence activation of complement. 相似文献

Growth and siderophore production by Bordetella pertussis under iron-restricted conditions 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
It has been demonstrated that under iron-restricted conditions Bordetella pertussis can obtain iron from iron-saturated human transferrin. Direct contact between B. pertussis and transferrin was not required as B. pertussis was able to acquire iron from transferrin when they were separated by a dialysis membrane. Siderophore activity was detected in supernatants from iron-restricted cultures of B. pertussis, B. bronchiseptica and B. parapertussis. Siderophores were identified as hydroxamates and were produced by both virulent and avirulent strains of B. pertussis. 相似文献

An autotransporter of Bordetella pertussis, virulence-associated gene 8 (Vag8), binds and inactivates the complement regulator, C1 inhibitor (C1-Inh), and plays a role in evasion of the complement system. However, the molecular interaction between Vag8 and C1-Inh remains unclear. Here, we localized the minimum region of Vag8 required for interaction with C1-Inh by examining the differently truncated Vag8 derivatives for the ability to bind and inactivate C1-Inh. The truncated Vag8 containing amino-acid residues 102–548, but not 102–479 and 202–648, showed the full activity of intact Vag8, suggesting that the separate 102–202 and 548–648 amino-acid regions of Vag8 mediate the interaction with C1-Inh. 相似文献

Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of whooping cough, a contagious childhood respiratory disease. Increasing public concern over the safety of whole-cell vaccines led to decreased immunisation rates and a subsequent increase in the incidence of the disease. Research into the development of safer, more efficacious, less reactogenic vaccine preparations was concentrated on the production and purification of detoxified B. pertussis virulence factors. These virulence factors include adhesins such as filamentous haemagglutinin, fimbriae and pertactin, which allow B. pertussis to bind to ciliated epithelial cells in the upper respiratory tract. Once attachment is initiated, toxins produced by the bacterium enable colonisation to proceed by interfering with host clearance mechanisms. B. pertussis co-ordinately regulates the expression of virulence factors via the Bordetella virulence gene (bvg) locus, which encodes a response regulator responsible for signal-mediated activation and repression. This strict regulation mechanism allows the bacterium to express different gene subsets in different environmental niches within the host, according to the stage of disease progression. 相似文献

Bordetella pertussis can attach, invade and survive intracellularly in human macrophages in vitro. To study the significance of this bacterial feature in vivo, we analyzed the presence of viable bacteria in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) cells of mice infected with B. pertussis. We found B. pertussis to be present in a viable state in BAL fluid cells until at least 19 days after infection, suggesting B. pertussis to be able to survive in those cells. This intracellular niche may play an important role in the pathogenesis of pertussis. Pertussis toxin and the RGD sequence of the virulence factor filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) both play a role in the attachment of B. pertussis to human and mouse macrophages in vitro and we hypothesized these virulence factors to be required for invasion and subsequent intracellular survival of B. pertussis in macrophages in vivo. A B. pertussis double mutant, in which the FHA RGD motif was changed to RAD and the ptx genes were deleted, was also found in a viable state in BAL fluid cells, albeit at lower levels than the wild-type strain. In our model, uptake of B. pertussis by alveolar phagocytes in vivo is thus, at least in part, determined by the bacterial virulence factors FHA and pertussis toxin. 相似文献
