When stored at 4 C, or heated at 22 or 35 C followed by storage at 4 C, the potency of pertussis vaccines preserved with Merthiolate was more stable than the potency of vaccines preserved with benzethonium chloride or the parabens (methyl- and propyl-p-hydroxybenzoate). Without preservative, potency was more stable than in the presence of benzethonium chloride or the parabens, but less stable than when Merthiolate was present. The histamine-sensitizing factor of the vaccines likewise decreased with the loss of potency. The deleterious effect of benzethonium chloride and the absence of the stabilizing effect of Merthiolate were contributing factors, if not the sole cause, for the instability of pertussis vaccine in quadruple antigen vaccine (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis and poliomyelitis vaccines). 相似文献

Protection against a Schistosoma mansoni cercarial challenge was evaluated in mice immunized with a vaccine composed of 10-krad-irradiated, cryopreserved schistosomules. The level of resistance induced in C57B1/6 or NMRI (CV) mice increased with the number of schistosomules injected. Up to 83% reduction in challenge worm burden was achieved when 5000 schistosomules were injected per mouse. Intramuscular injection of the vaccine was superior to subcutaneous. Multiple immunizations, up to 3 at 4-week intervals, did not increase the resistance induced by a single immunization. A high level of protection developed in as little as 2 weeks and was maintained through at least 12 weeks postimmunization. The vaccine irradiated with 10 krad from either a 60-cobalt or 137-cesium source induced equivalent levels of resistance, and no differences were found in the immunogenicity of vaccines comprised of organisms irradiated as cercariae or as 1- to 3-hr-old schistosomules. These findings are basic to the development of a cryopreserved, live vaccine against schistosomiasis of humans or domestic animals. 相似文献

Munoz, J. (Rocky Mountain Laboratory, Hamilton, Mont.), and B. M. Hestekin. Antigens of Bordetella pertussis. IV. Effect of heat, Merthiolate, and formaldehyde on histamine-sensitizing factor and protective activity of soluble extracts from Bordetella pertussis. J. Bacteriol. 91:2175-2179. 1966.-Both histamine-sensitizing and protective activities of soluble preparations from Bordetella pertussis cells are destroyed by heating at 80 C for 0.5 hr. The histamine-sensitizing activity appeared to be more susceptible to inactivation by heat than the protective activity. Formaldehyde in a final concentration of 0.5% rapidly diminished the histamine-sensitizing ability of saline extract (SE) held at 37 C. The protective activity was clearly more resistant to inactivation by formaldehyde at similar temperature. The inactivating action of formaldehyde was slower when the concentration of SE was increased or when the mixture was kept at 2 to 5 C. Merthiolate in a final concentration of 1:10,000 had no demonstrable deleterious effects on either protective or histamine-sensitizing activity of SE. 相似文献

The median effective doses (ED50) of 28 lots of killed Pasteurella pestis strain 195/P vaccine were determined in mice and guinea pigs. Mice were injected with vaccine alone, whereas guinea pigs received vaccine suspended in incomplete Freund's adjuvant. Potency ratios of vaccines were obtained by comparing the ED50 of the test with that of a reference vaccine. Mean potency ratios of 1.82 ± 0.50 in mice and 3.22 ± 0.56 in guinea pigs were obtained, and the difference between these means was significant, P = <0.01. The number of organisms in the challenge dose did not significantly affect the ED50 of a vaccine in guinea pigs. However, irrespective of vaccinating route, nearly 1,000 times as much vaccine was required in the absence of adjuvant as in its presence to produce comparable protective indexes in the guinea pig. The response of guinea pigs did not offer any improvement over mice in evaluating the efficacy of plague vaccines. 相似文献

Phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages of guinea pigs injected subcutaneously with bacterial vaccines was found to
be increased. The phagocytic index remained unchanged or was decreased. In addition, a decreased candidacidal activity was
observed. Metabolic activation of macrophages, measured by the INT test, was inhibited in unstimulated cells while cells stimulated
with zymosan or opsonized zymosan exhibited higher values of the INT test as compared with control animals. After injection
of vaccines the number of peritoneal macrophages was increased, but the spleen mass decreased.

The possibility was examined of using the chemostat to produce cholera vaccine of immunogenicity similar or superior to that of conventional vaccine produced from organisms grown on nutrient agar. The immunogenicity in mice of vaccines prepared from organisms grown under carbon, nitrogen, magnesium and phosphate limitation each at low and high growth rates was inferior to that of conventional vaccine. It was concluded that under the conditions used in this study the chemostat could not be used to produce cholera vaccine of acceptable immunogenicity. The sensitivity of organisms grown under the same conditions in the chemostat to agglutination by specific agglutinating antiserum showed phenotypic variation and under carbon limitation was growth rate related, although the increased sensitivity to agglutination of carbon-limited organisms at high growth rates was not paralleled by increased ability of these organisms to induce agglutinating antibodies. 相似文献

Abstract: The effect of encapsulation on the virulence, survival, and protection of anaerobic bacteria from phagocytosis is reviewed. Support for the importance of encapsulated Gram-negative anaerobic rods ( Bacteroides sp., Prevotella sp. and Porphyromonas sp.), anaerobic and facultative Gram-positive cocci (AFGPC) was provided by their higher recovery rate in oropharyngeal infections, abscesses and blood, compared to their number in the normal flora. The pathogenicity of Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Clostridium , and AFGPC was studied by inoculating them into mice and observing their ability to induce subcutaneous abscesses. Encapsulated Bacteroides, Fusobacteria , and AFGPC generally induced abscesses, whereas non-encapsulated organisms did not. However, many of the strains that had only a minimal number of encapsulated organisms (< 1%) survived in the abscesses, and they became heavily encapsulated when inoculated with other viable or non-viable encapsulated bacteria. Thereafter, these strains were able to induce abscesses when injected alone. Encapsulated Gram-negative anaerobic rods and AFGPC-induced bacteraemia and translocation, and increased the mortality of the infected animals more often than did the non-encapsulated form of the same strains. As determined by using selective antimicrobial therapy and quantitative cultures of abscesses induced in mice, possession of a capsule generally made Gram-negative anaerobic rods more important than their aerobic counterparts. Synergistic potentials were seen between encapsulated Gram-negative anaerobic rods and all tested aerobic bacteria and most AFGPC, and also between most AFGPC and Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Staphylococcus aureus . These studies demonstrated the importance of encapsulated anaerobes in mixed infections. 相似文献

Four strains of influenza virus were treated with Formalin, Merthiolate, Merthiolate and Formalin, ultraviolet light, and beta-propiolactone (BPL) for 18, 48, and 72 hr. Infectivity, chicken cell agglutination (CCA), hemagglutination (HA), and antigenicity determinations were made. Except for Merthiolate, each method of inactivation was equally effective in reducing infectivity. Loss of infectivity was related to length of treatment. CCA determinations were higher for all treated groups except for BPL-treated samples; these had lower determinations. BPL treatment also lowered the HA titer. Antigenicity was lessened by BPL treatment and by Merthiolate and Formalin treatment. Generally, the length of inactivation up to 72 hr did not affect CCA, HA, or antigenicity determinations. For the most part, there was no significant differences in the reactivity of the four strains. 相似文献

热休克蛋白gp96作为抗原载体的研究进展 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
gp96是存在于真核生物细胞内质网中的分子量约为96kD的热休克蛋白(又称GRP94)。它属于HSP90家族,是胞质HSP90的旁系同源蛋白。研究证实从小鼠肿瘤组织中分离的gp96注射小鼠后,可使小鼠获得针对该肿瘤细胞的特异细胞免疫力。随后发现这种特异性免疫不是由gp96引起,而是由其结合的小肽诱发。gp96受体的发现给这种现象的解释提供了线索。人们提出了多种假说来解释这种现象,其中一些得到了广泛的支持。另外,gp96还参与免疫调节过程。完全了解gp96在免疫系统中的作用机制对开发新型药物如肿瘤和病毒感染治疗性疫苗具有重要意义 。 相似文献

A cell suspension of Staphylococcus aureus (196E) was injected into raw skim milk which contained different concentrations of sugar, serum solids, fat, stabilizers, and emulsifiers. The ingredient samples were exposed for the desired length of time in a constant-temperature water bath (60 C). Standard plate counts were made, and the number of surviving organisms was determined. Regression coefficients for each ingredient concentration were calculated and plotted against the per cent ingredient concentration to give an indication of protective action. Analyses of variance were conducted on bacterial counts to test the protective action of each ingredient. A comparison of the number of survivors in different sugar concentrations showed that with up to 14% sugar all the organisms were killed within 30 min. In sugar concentrations above 14%, the number of survivors increased regularly with each increase in sugar concentration up to 57%, which was the maximum used. In concentrations of serum solids above 9%, some organisms survived 35 min of heat treatment. Butter fat, stabilizer, and emulsifier did not offer any protective action in the concentrations observed. 相似文献

Besides specific antigens medical immunobiological agents (MIBA) contain chemical compounds (formaldehyde, aluminium hydroxide and mercury salt, merthiolate) in permissible concentrations. Therefore, the investigation of MIBA and their components should involve methods studying the effect of chemical compounds on cells and their structural components. For this purpose WHO recommends to use cell cultures. The results obtained show that cell cultures (constant and diploid lines) allow the differentiation in the degree of toxicity of chemical compounds constituting MIBA. Merthiolate had the strongest irreversible lethal effect. The technique can prove useful for more accurate evaluation of toxicity in inactivated bacterial and viral vaccines as well as in serum preparations. Cell culture can be successfully used for the detection of toxic components in vaccines and serum drugs, with the final safety tested by their injection to animals. 相似文献

Summary Killed Brucella abortus organisms of the vaccinal strain B19 were detoxified by incubation in NaOH. A 24-h incubation in 0.01 M NaOH increased the LD50 of smooth (S) and rough (R) organisms 2–3 times in normal mice and 50–100 times in adrenalectomized mice. This NaOH treatment did not alter the antitumor activity of Brucella abortus as shown in EL4 lymphoma- and Lewis carcinoma-grafted mice. After incubation in NaOH, S bacteria injected IV retained their ability to provoke spleen hypertrophy and antibody synthesis, and S and R organisms injected into he footpad had comparable ability to induce granulomas. NaOH treatment tended to diminish the mitogenic activity of R bacteria for spleen cell cultures. 相似文献

Mink feed raw materials were analyzed for total bacterial count, the number of faecal streptococci, the coliform count, the number of haemolytic bacteria and the number of sulphite reducing bacteria. The investigation comprised samples from the following raw materials: four slaughter-house offal products, preserved and unpreserved slaughter blood, Baltic herring, cod filletting offal, fish silage, blood meal, fish meal, meat-bone meal, protein concentrate, brewer’s yeast and cereal feed. The slaughter-house offals and unpreserved slaughter blood had the poorest quality, in terms of all the bacterial types for which the samples were analyzed. There were statistically significant differences in bacterial contents between slaughter-house offals from different sources. The preserved slaughter blood had significantly lower bacterial contents as compared to the unpreserved slaughter blood. Single samples of the cod filletting offal, Baltic herring and the blood meal had relatively high total bacterial counts, but the specified mean bacterial counts were relatively low. The bacterial counts for the rest of the investigated raw materials were relatively low. 相似文献

A retrospective analysis of transgenesis rates obtained in seven pronuclear microinjection programs was undertaken to determine if a relationship existed between the amount of DNA injected and transgenesis rates in the pig. Logistic regression analysis showed that as the concentration of DNA injected increased from 1 to 10ng/l, the number of transgenics when expressed as a proportion of the number liveborn (integration rate) increased from 4% to an average of 26%. A similar relationship was found when the number of molecules of DNA injected per picolitre was analysed. No evidence was obtained to suggest either parameter influenced integration rate in mice when the same constructs were injected. The number of transgenics liveborn when expressed as a proportion of ova injected (efficiency rate), increased as DNA concentration increased up to 7.5ng/l and then decreased at 10ng/l for both species suggesting that at this concentration DNA (or possible contaminants) may have influenced embryo survival. The relationship between efficiency and the number of molecules injected per picolitre was complex suggesting that the concentration at which DNA was injected was a better determinant of integration and efficiency rates. In conclusion, the present study suggests that transgenes need to be injected at concentrations of between 5 and 10ng/l to maximise integration and efficiency rates in pigs. 相似文献

The effect of prior opsonization of virulent Salmonella enteritidis on the growth of this organism in blood, liver, spleen, peritoneal cavity, and inguinal lymph node of specific pathogen-free mice prevaccinated with ethyl alcohol-killed S. enteritidis or living S. gallinarum was determined by daily enumeration. Both the vaccines and the challenge inocula were injected by the intravenous, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous routes to determine the effect of variations in the vaccinating procedure on the level of immunity induced. The survival percentage observed in mice vaccinated with killed organisms varied extensively, depending on the route of challenge. However, simultaneous organ enumeration studies revealed that vaccination with killed organisms failed to prevent the growth of the challenge organism in vivo. On the other hand, virulent S. enteritidis injected into mice vaccinated with living S: gallinarum failed to multiply and was subsequently eliminated. Immunity in these animals was so effective that a subcutaneously injected challenge did not spread beyond the regional node. Immunization with killed organisms slowed but was unable to prevent the spread of such a challenge beyond the draining node involved in the primary immune response. Neither the route of challenge nor the regimen used in the vaccination had any appreciable influence on the level of antibacterial immunity detected in the organs of the reticuloendothelial system at the time of challenge. 相似文献

The adjuvant activity in DNA immunization against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) was studied for the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) synthesized from an eukaryotic expression plasmid (pDNAGM-CSF) and for the synthetic glucosaminyl-muramyl dipeptide (GMDP). A plasmid containing the HSV gD gene (pDNAgD) was used as an immunogen. GMDP and pDNAGM-CSF each enhanced the T-cell immune response to DNA immunization. The protective effect of DNA immunization increased from 63 to 100% when the two plasmids were injected simultaneously and to 96% when pDNAgD was injected one day after injecting GMDP. The results showed that DNA vaccines combined with genetic or peptide adjuvants are promising for DNA immunization against HSV.__________Translated from Molekulyarnaya Biologiya, Vol. 39, No. 3, 2005, pp. 504–512.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Kozlov, Klimova, Shingarova, Boldyreva, Nekrasova, Guryanova, Andronova, Novikov, Kushch. 相似文献

The effects of histamine and an antihistamine on the number and fecundity of adult Trichinella spiralis and on trichinous enteritis measured by determining myeloperoxidase activity in the small intestine of the host on days 7, 9 and 11 postinfection (PI) were examined during primary infections of the CD-1 Swiss white mouse. In mice receiving oral doses of histamine the fecundity of adult worms decreased, the number of adult worms was unaffected and enteritis was elevated above that seen with untreated mice or mice receiving oral doses of saline alone. In mice injected intramuscularly with antihistamine after day 7 PI fecundity of adult worms increased, the number of adult worms remained the same and enteritis decreased compared to untreated mice receiving intramuscular injections of saline. As the concentration of histamine present in the incubation medium (0.01, 0.1, 10, 25, 50 or 100 mg%) was increased above 0.01 mg% the fecundity of adult worms during culture in vitro decreased. As the concentration of antihistamine present in incubation medium (0.01, 0.1, 10 or 100 mg%) was increased above 0.1 mg% the fecundity of adult worms during culture in vitro decreased. 相似文献

Antibody Response and Protection Induced by Immunization with Smooth and Rough Strains in Experimental Salmonellosis 总被引:20,自引:2,他引:18
The antibody response of mice to a smooth strain of Salmonella typhimurium was shown previously to be extremely rapid and potent. As measured by the complement-mediated bactericidal reaction, it was also found to be highly specific as well as reproducible. Experiments which studied the effects of antigen type (live or heat-killed), antigen dose, and the route of immunization indicated that the most rapid and highest antibody response was achieved with live, smooth organisms injected by the intraperitoneal route. Living vaccines of rough strains of either S. typhimurium or S. enteritidis induced antibodies directed against the corresponding smooth organisms. The response to the rough strains was apparently due to antibody production rather than to the simple release of preformed natural antibody. The duration of protection conferred by the rough strain vaccines was closely correlated with the endotoxic content of the immunizing strain. Smooth heat-killed vaccines and a rough live vaccine protected against homologous but not heterologous challenge. In contrast, immunization with a smooth live vaccine protected mice against both homologous and heterologous challenge infections. Protection was not due to a local effect in the peritoneal cavity, since mice were also protected against subcutaneous challenge. The secondary antibody response, induced in immunized animals by the virulent challenge infection, was demonstrated to be rapid and potent, and hence a factor to be considered in protection. 相似文献

Streptomycin-dependent cholera vibrio strains were derived from Inaba, Ogawa, and NAG vibrios by the method of Mel. These phenotypes grew more slowly and attacked fermentable substances after a longer period of time than the streptomycin-sensitive parent strains. Rabbits injected with streptomycin-sensitive strains and their streptomycin-dependent forms showed homologous agglutinin production. Patas monkeys fed with 10(9) streptomycin-dependent strains shed them for 1 to 2 days without ill effect, whereas the same number of streptomycin-independent organisms caused disease. The possibility of the application of multiple doses of streptomycin-dependent organisms in oral immunization against cholera was considered. 相似文献

Vaccine strategies, such as influenza virus vaccination of the elderly, are highly effective at preventing disease but provide protection for only the responding portion of the vaccinees. Adjuvants improve the magnitude and rates of responses, but their potency must be attenuated to minimize side effects. Topical delivery of strong adjuvants such as heat-labile enterotoxin from Escherichia coli (LT) induces potent immune responses. We hypothesized that LT delivered alone in an immunostimulating (LT-IS) patch placed on the skin at the site of injection could augment the immune response to injected vaccines. This was based on the observation that topically applied LT induces migration of activated antigen-presenting cells (APCs) from the skin to the proximal draining lymph node (DLN), and that APCs loaded with antigen by injection in the same anatomical region also migrate to the same DLN. We observed that when influenza virus vaccine is injected and an LT-IS patch is placed to target the same DLN, the influenza virus antibody response is enhanced. Similarly, influenza virus-specific T cells isolated from the lungs show increased levels of gamma interferon and interleukin-4 production. An LT-IS patch placed near an injected vaccine also leads to increased levels of hemagglutination inhibition titers, enhanced mucosal immunoglobulin A responses, and enhanced antigen presentation. Although the mechanisms by which an LT-IS patch exerts its enhancing effects need further study, the enhanced immune responses, ability to safely use potent adjuvants, and simplicity of LT-IS patch application address an important unmet need and provide a new immune enhancement strategy. 相似文献
