We have recently demonstrated that single shot vaccinations against tetanus and diphtheria do not lead to long-lasting immunity against diphtheria in elderly persons despite administration at 5 year intervals. In the present study we have immunized a group of young adults against tetanus and diphtheria to compare the pre- and 28 days post-vaccination immune responses in the young group with results of the same vaccination performed in an elderly group of a previous study. We also studied protection in both groups 5 years after vaccination. We compared antibody titers at all three time points and also analyzed the T cell responses in both age groups 5 years after vaccination.Before vaccination 9 % of the elderly persons were not protected against tetanus, and 48 % did not have protection against diphtheria. In the young group all participants were protected against tetanus, but 52 % were also unprotected against diphtheria before vaccination. 28 days after vaccination 100 % of all participants had protective antibody concentrations against tetanus and only a small percentage in each age group (<10 %) was unprotected against diphtheria. 5 years later, 100 % of both cohorts were still protected against tetanus, but 24 % of the young and 54 % of the elderly group were unprotected against diphtheria. Antibody concentrations against diphtheria measured by ELISA correlated well with their neutralizing capacity. T cell responses to tetanus and diphtheria did not differ between young and old persons. We conclude that booster vaccinations against tetanus and diphtheria according to present recommendations provide long-lasting protection only against tetanus, but not against diphtheria, independently of age. In elderly persons, the level of protection is even lower, probably due to intrinsic age-related changes within the immune system and/or insufficient vaccination earlier in life. 相似文献

Comparison of anticonvulsant effect of ethanol against NMDA-, kainic acid- and picrotoxin-induced convulsions in rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The anticonvulsant effect of ethanol against N-methyl-D-aspartic acid-(NMDA), kainic acid-, and picrotoxin-induced convulsions was studied in rats. Ethanol (2 g/kg, ip) offered protection against these agents, and it was most effective against picrotoxin and least effective against kainic acid. MK801, NMDA receptor antagonist, also provided protection against these agents. However, it was most effective against NMDA and least effective against kainic acid. Ineffective doses of MK801 (0.1 mg/kg, ip) and ethanol (0.5 g/kg, ip), when administered concurrently, had a facilitatory anticonvulsant effect, thereby providing protection against mortality following severe convulsions induced by NMDA or picrotoxin, but not against kainic acid. The protective effect of ethanol against NMDA- and kainic acid-induced neurotoxicity, in contrast to picrotoxin-induced toxicity, was not reversed by imidazodiazepine, Ro 15-4513, an ethanol antagonist. Furthermore, Ro 15-4513 did not produce any proconvulsant effect with NMDA or kainic acid. These findings suggested that the anticonvulsant actions of ethanol may be attributed to its ability to antagonize NMDA-mediated excitatory responses and facilitate the GABAergic transmission. 相似文献

A number of peptide analogs derived from the N-terminal alpha-helical region of bovine lactoferrin (LFB 14-31), were designed in order to investigate how deviating numbers and positions of positively charged residues and numbers of aromatic residues affected their activity against prokaryotic, normal and transformed eukaryotic cells. Most of the LFB derivatives were highly active against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The peptides were more active against the tumor cell lines MethA, HT-29 and MT-1 than normal eukaryotic cells. The peptides that were most active against the tumor cell lines had all cationic residues concentrated in one sector of the helical structure. These peptides were less selective against the tumor cell lines than against normal fibroblasts. Quantitative structure-activity relationship studies showed that certain structural parameters affected toxicity against the tumor cell lines more than against fibroblasts. Peptides encompassing these parameters were slightly less active against tumor cells, but gained significant selectivity. 相似文献

A series of cysteine diazomethyl- and chloromethyl ketone derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated against human B-lineage (Nalm-6) and T-lineage (Molt-3) acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines. The chloromethyl ketone compounds showed potent cytotoxicity against these cell lines, with IC50 values in the low micromolar range. The best compounds were N-acetyl-S-dodecyl-Cys chloromethyl ketone (IC50 = 2.0 microM against Nalm-6, 2.3 microM against Molt-3) and N-acetyl-S-trans,trans-farnesyl-Cys chloromethyl ketone (IC50 = 3.0 microM against Nalm-6 and 1.4 microM against Molt-3). 相似文献

Novel dinitroaniline sulfonamides based on the herbicide oryzalin 3 were synthesized and evaluated for activity against the parasitic protozoan Leishmania donovani and against leishmanial tubulin, the putative antiparasitic target of oryzalin. A subset of these compounds possess more activity against both Leishmania and the target protein in vitro. Compound 20 displays improved potency against leishmanial tubulin and is 13.4-fold more active against L. donovani axenic amastigotes than oryzalin. 相似文献

The minimal inhibitory concentrations of 11 growth promoting agents were determined by agar-dilution method against 113 strains of lactobacilli isolated from caeca of pigs, cattle and poultry. Only Lactobacillus acidophilus strains were susceptible to avoparcin and all strains were resistant to copper sulphate. Resistance was noted in cattle and poultry strains against bacitracin, in pig strains against virginiamycin, and in pig and poultry strains against nitrovin. Resistance against carbadox, flavomycin, lincomycin, oleandomycin, spiramycin and tylosin was noted in strains from all three host species. 相似文献

No vaccine has yet proven effective against the blood-stages of Plasmodium falciparum, which cause the symptoms and severe manifestations of malaria. We recently found that PfRH5, a P. falciparum-specific protein expressed in merozoites, is efficiently targeted by broadly-neutralizing, vaccine-induced antibodies. Here we show that antibodies against PfRH5 efficiently inhibit the in vitro growth of short-term-adapted parasite isolates from Cambodia, and that the EC50 values of antigen-specific antibodies against PfRH5 are lower than those against PfAMA1. Since antibody responses elicited by multiple antigens are speculated to improve the efficacy of blood-stage vaccines, we conducted detailed assessments of parasite growth inhibition by antibodies against PfRH5 in combination with antibodies against seven other merozoite antigens. We found that antibodies against PfRH5 act synergistically with antibodies against certain other merozoite antigens, most notably with antibodies against other erythrocyte-binding antigens such as PfRH4, to inhibit the growth of a homologous P. falciparum clone. A combination of antibodies against PfRH4 and basigin, the erythrocyte receptor for PfRH5, also potently inhibited parasite growth. This methodology provides the first quantitative evidence that polyclonal vaccine-induced antibodies can act synergistically against P. falciparum antigens and should help to guide the rational development of future multi-antigen vaccines. 相似文献

Inhibition of 12 mammalian isoforms of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), CA I-XIV, with a series of phenols was investigated. The inhibition profile by phenols of these CAs was distinct from those of the sulfonamides and their isosteres, the main class of clinically used inhibitors. Phenol and some of its 2-, 3- and 4-substituted derivatives incorporating hydroxy-, fluoro-, carboxy-, amino-, cyano- and acetamido-moieties were generally effective low micromolar CA inhibitors, with inhibition constants in the range of 9.8-4003 microM against CA I, of 0.090-870 microM against CA II, of 0.71-885 microM against CA III, of 9.5-809 microM against CA IV, of 8.7-867 microM against CA VA, of 4.2-649 microM against CA VB, of 11.4-658 microM against CA VI, of 9.1-1359 microM against CA VII, of 8.8-517 microM against CA IX, of 4.1-598 microM against CA XII, of 12.2-697 microM against CA XIII and of 10.1-49.8 microM against CA XIV, respectively. The different mechanisms of inhibition by phenols as compared to sulfonamides, and their diverse inhibition profile for these mammalian isozymes, makes this class of derivatives of great interest for the design of compounds with selectivity and/or specificity for some of the medicinal chemistry targets belonging to this enzyme family. 相似文献

The potential existence of down-regulation of cytotoxic immune response against an autologous human melanoma line was investigated as a possible explanation for cytotoxic unresponsiveness against the autologous melanoma cells. The melanoma cell line, PJ-M, was established and lymph node resident lymphocytes (LNL) were isolated from a lymph node which was partially infiltrated with the melanoma cells. Autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were sensitized in in vitro co-culture (IVC) against radiated PJ-M cells in the presence or absence of PJ-M-sensitized LNL and enriched suppressor (OKT8+) or inducer (OKT4+) LNL populations, and were assayed for cytotoxicity in a 4-hr 51Cr-release microcytotoxicity assay. Significant cytotoxic response against PJ-M could be generated in the PBL, but not in the LNL. The addition of sensitized, unfractionated LNL, OKT8+, or OKT4+ LNL populations abrogated cytotoxic response in the PBL against PJ-M. The suppression of cytotoxic response was induced selectively against the PJ-M targets, because IVC of PBL in the presence of the sensitized LNL did not affect the generation of polyclonal cytotoxic alloreactivities, nor did they abrogate the generation of cytotoxic response against allogeneic targets in IVC against the corresponding allogeneic targets. These results suggest the possibility that cytotoxic immune response against the autologous melanoma cells might have been suppressed by the individual's own immunoregulatory circuit. 相似文献

The three species of the genus Bordetella-B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica-have many antigens in common. Studies on representative strains of these species have shown that there are only a few specific antigens in each species. Whole-cell vaccines and extracts from B. pertussis contained specific mouse-protective antigen and a histamine-sensitizing factor. In addition, whole-cell vaccines and some saline extracts protected mice against intracranial challenge with B. bronchiseptica. Cells and a saline extract of B. parapertussis also protected against B. bronchiseptica but not against B. pertussis. Whole cells of B. bronchiseptica protected against B. bronchiseptica, but only one of three saline extracts protected against this challenge. Neither whole cells nor saline extracts from B. bronchiseptica protected against B. pertussis. The antigen in B. pertussis responsible for cross-protection against B. bronchiseptica was less resistant to heat than the protective antigen in B. bronchiseptica. Since histamine-sensitizing factor was not detected in B. bronchiseptica or B. parapertussis cells or extracts, this factor is not required to protect mice against B. bronchiseptica challenge. Whether B. pertussis vaccines protected against B. bronchiseptica by a nonspecific mechanism was not established, but it is clear that the specific antigen responsible for protection against B. pertussis was found only in B. pertussis and not in B. bronchiseptica or B. parapertussis. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies directed against two rotavirus surface proteins (vp3 and vp7) as well as a rotavirus inner capsid protein (vp6) were tested for their ability to protect suckling mice against virulent rotavirus challenge. Monoclonal antibodies to two distinct epitopes of vp7 of simian rotavirus strain RRV neutralized RRV in vitro and passively protected suckling mice against RRV challenge. A monoclonal antibody directed against vp3 of porcine rotavirus strain OSU neutralized three distinct serotypes in vitro (OSU, RRV, and UK) and passively protected suckling mice against OSU, RRV, and UK virus-induced diarrhea. The role of vp3 in eliciting protection against heterotypic rotavirus challenge should be considered when developing a vaccine with cloned rotavirus genes. Alternatively, immunization with a reassortant rotavirus containing vp3 and vp7 from two antigenically distinct rotavirus parents might protect against diarrhea induced by two or more rotavirus serotypes. 相似文献

The effect of selected anthelmintics (albendazole, fenbendazole, piperazine dihydrochloride and clorsulon) against three major helminths (Contracaecum multipapillatum, Mesostephanus appendiculatoides, and Phagicola longus) were studied in 29 brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis). Albendazole and fenbendazole were highly effective against all three parasites. Clorsulon had moderate effect against M. appendiculatoides and poor effect against C. multipapillatum and P. longus. Piperazine dihydrochloride had no effect against these helminths. 相似文献

Brazilian plants are potential sources of useful edible and medicinal plants. Hydromethanolic extracts prepared from 54 medicinal plants used in folk medicine to treat infections were screened for antiviral properties against five different viruses (HSV-1, HSV-2, poliovirus type 2, adenovirus type 2 and VSV). Fifty-two percent of the plant extracts exhibited antiviral against one or more tested viruses. More specifically, 42.6% showed activity against HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus type 1), 42.6% against HSV-2 (herpes simplex virus type 2), 26% against poliovirus and 24% against VSV (vesicular stomatitis virus). None of the extracts was active against adenovirus. Trixis praestans (Vell.) Cabr. and Cunila spicata Benth. extracts were further characterized for antiviral activity. 相似文献

A highly specific rabbit antiserum against DNA polymerase alpha from regenerating rat liver (antigen AG 1) and an antiserum against the preparation of the enzyme proteolytic fragments possessing catalytic activity (antigen AG 2) were obtained. The enzyme neutralization test revealed that antibodies against AG 2 inhibit the DNA polymerase activity in a much stronger degree, than those against AG 1. Data from a kinetic analysis of the enzyme complexed with the antibodies against AG 1 suggest that the catalytic and binding sites for dNTP and free Mg2+ are altered. The value of apparent Km for activated DNA is unchanged in the DNA polymerase complexes with antibodies both against AG 1 and AG 2. 相似文献

Antibodies directed against the protein constituents of the outer envelope membrane of Escherichia coli O26 K60 were demonstrated in antisera elicited in rabbits against three different preparations of the bacterium. Outer membraned solubilized by sodium dodecyl sulphate were applied to the antisera in an interfacial precipitin test, followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of the resulting immunecomplexes. Protein profiles showed a complete outer membrane protein pattern, indicating the antigenic character of these proteins. Antisera containing antibodies against outer membrane proteins and free of reactive antibodies against lipopolysaccharide showed relatively low agglutinating activities against the bacteria. The antibodies against the protein constituents of the outer membrane belong mainly to the 7S class immunoglobulins, as indicated by 2-mercaptoethanol treatment of the antisera. 相似文献

Comparative susceptibility to anthelmintics of Brugia pahangi in jirds infected by different methods
It is possible to infect jirds with Brugia pahangi by three methods. Infective larvae (L3) can be injected either intraperitoneally (ip), when adults develop in the peritoneal cavity, or sub-cutaneously (sc), when they develop in the lymphatics or the heart and blood vessels associated with the lungs. Alternatively adult worms which have been grown in the peritoneal cavities of jirds can be implanted into the peritoneal cavities of other jirds. This latter system has been widely used for screening for new filaricides. We have compared the activity of 9 macrofilaricidal compounds against these 3 types of infection. Mebendazole and albendazole were more active against implanted adults than against L3 induced adults in the peritoneal cavity. Oxibendazole, flubendazole, CGP24588A and oxfendazole were equally active against both types of worm. CGP20376, Mel Ga and Mel Ni were more active against adult worms derived from inoculated L3 than implanted worms. When comparing intra-lymphatic and ip adults (both derived from L3 infections and in the same jirds) albendazole and CGP20376 were active at the same levels against both types of infection. Mebendazole, flubendazole, oxfendazole, CGP24588A, Mel Ga and Mel Ni were more active against ip adults than intra-lymphatic adults. No drug was more active against intra-lymphatic adults than against adults. 相似文献
