Rabbit lymph node cell populations cultured in vitro in the presence of fetal calf serum are induced to produce immunoglobulin M-secreting cells. The induction of such immunoglobulin production, measured by the capacity of the cell population to secrete immunoglobulins, was inhibited when cells were cultured with sera from a variety of species despite the presence of fetal calf serum. The addition of such inhibitory serum 36 hours after initiation of the cell culture or thereafter was without effect on the extent of induction of immunoglobulin production. On the other hand, the presence of inhibitory serum in culture during only the first 24 hours yielded the same inhibition as when serum was present throughout the 72-hour culture period. Inhibitory sera also suppressed the incorporation of thymidine into DNA. The induction of immunoglobulin production and the incorporation of thymidine into DNA were essentially equally inhibited by the same range of serum concentrations. Unlike conventional inhibitors of DNA synthesis, the inhibitory sera exhibited selective specificity with regard to the kind of cells that could be affected. Thus, such sera inhibited the DNA synthesis of lymph node cells cultured in the presence of fetal calf serum but did not inhibit concanavalin A-stimulated DNA synthesis of such cultured cells and, similarly, serum did not inhibit DNA synthesis of thymus cells cultured in the presence of fetal calf serum. The sera of all species examined were inhibitory except for fetal sera. As judged from a quantitative assay, bovine and porcine serum contained the highest titer of inhibitor, whereas sera from human, rat, mouse, and rabbit were clustered in a group exhibiting less inhibitor. Ascites fluid and lymph node extracellular fluids contained less inhibitor than found in the serum of the same animal and lysates of washed lymph node cells were devoid of inhibitor. Although fetal bovine serum and newborn bovine serum did not contain the inhibitor, it was detectable within 24 hours of parturition. The inhibitor is of relatively large apparent molecular weight (about 300,000) and has been purified about 70-fold. 相似文献

Sheep red blood cells (SRBC) were agglutinated by all six chicken anti-MSB-1 sera examined, but not by sera of thirty specific pathogen-free chickens. The SRBC-agglutination titer was greatly reduced by absorption with SRBC, bovine red blood cells (BRBC) or guinea-pig kidney cells (GPKC). The dissociation of heterophile antibody and antibody to so-called Marek's disease tumor-associated surface antigen (MATSA) is discussed. 相似文献

Heterogenetic antigens of gram-positive bacteria 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Chorpenning, Frank W. (The Ohio State University, Columbus), and Matthew C. Dodd. Heterogenetic antigens of gram-positive bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 91:1440-1445. 1966.-Soluble antigens obtained by various methods from gram-positive bacteria were used to modify erythrocytes whose hemagglutinating reactions with immune rabbit sera and normal human sera were then studied. Antigens from all gram-positive organisms studied except corynbacteria altered red cells, causing them to react with specific bacterial antisera and with normal human sera; however, cross-absorption and inhibition tests indicated that at least three different specificites were involved. One of these antigens seemed to be similar to Rantz's streptococcal NSS, which is shared with Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus spp., and is therefore heterogenetic. Another was found in streptococci but was apparently not present in S. aureus and Bacillus spp. A third antigen, also heterogenetic, appeared to be shared by several species of Bacillus and by S. aureus, but not by streptococci or any gram-negative bacteria. The third antigen was heat-stable at pH 8.0, and appeared to be essentially polysaccharide in nature. Normal human sera varied in their content of antibodies which reacted with erythrocytes modified by extracts from gram-positive bacteria. Whereas some sera reacted very broadly with red cells modified by extracts of practically any gram-positive organism, other sera agglutinated only cells which had been modified by streptococcal antigen. 相似文献

The effect of polyamines on cell culture cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Growth of KB cells was inhibited by both spermine and spermidine, but the inhibition is reduced in conditioned medium. The amount of spermine required for 50% inhibition of plating varied according to the type of serum used with medium 199 (calf, fetal bovine, and horse; 0.55, 0.9, and 24 μg/ml respectively). The spermine oxidase activity of the three sera was calf > horse > fetal bovine, which is not the same ordering as was obtained for the inhibition. When the concentration of sera in the media was varied, the inhibition decreased as calf and fetal bovine sera concentration increased, whereas, with horse serum, an increase in serum concentration increased the inhibition. The opposite effects of increasing concentrations of the sera on the inhibition suggest that at least two factors are involved in the inhibition. A scheme which involves three factors (spermine oxidase, another enzyme and its activator) is postulated to account for the inhibitions and reversals observed. Spermine oxidase alone cannot account for the action of polyamine on cells. 相似文献

Effects of fetal versus postnatal sera upon adipose tissue stromal-vascular cells in primary culture
Summary This experiment was conducted to determine if serum factors are responsible for differences in cellularity of prenatal and postnatal pig adipose tissue as determined by in vitro measurement of cellular proliferation and enzyme-histochemical metabolic development. Cellular proliferation of stromal-vascular cells derived from rat inguinal adipose tissue was measured by [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Coverslip cultures were used for analysis of histochemical differentiation. Cells were incubated in media containing 10% fetal bovine, fetal pig, mature pig, or various combinations of these sera. Fetal bovine serum promoted more [3H]-thymidine incorporation than fetal or postnatal pig sera. Fetal pig sera also stimulated more [3H]-thymidine incorporation than mature pig sera. Sera from adult pigs promoted differentiation and lipid filling of adipocytes. Fetal pig sera stimulated histochemical expression of enzymes, but did not induce lipid filling. Fetal bovine serum produced histochemically undifferentiated cells. Addition of fetal bovine serum to media containing mature pig sera reduced lipid accumulation and histochemical reactivity of cells. This effect of fetal serum was thus due to specific inhibition of lipid deposition and not substrate restriction. These experiments demonstrated that serum factors have a major influence on morphological development of fetal and postnatal adipose tissue. 相似文献

The common soluble antigen of the first subgroup of bovine adenoviruses was used for assaying 793 sheep sera by the agar gel diffusion test. Of the 50 farms included in the study 43 were found infected. The ratio of reacting samples was 73.7% of the sera obtained from infected farms. Virus neutralization tests revealed that a considerable number of sera reacted specifically with all types of ovine adenoviruses, even with serotypes which had never been isolated in Hungary. The results yielded by the agar gel diffusion tests were compared with the results of virus neutralization tests. Of 850 cattle serum samples, agar gel diffusion tests gave positive results in 33.4%. Virus neutralization test was done only with the bovine and adenovirus type 2. No differences could be detected in antibody titres when the prototype strains (No. 19) and the strain isolated from sheep (ORT/111) were compared in parallel titrations. Both ruminant species were found to be infected with hovine adenovirus type 2. Neverthless, inapparent infection with these strains seemed to be less frequent among cattle than in sheep flocks. 相似文献

Class Specificity of Avian and Mammalian Sera in Regards to Myogenic Cell Growth in vitro 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Chick myogenic cells grew in the presence of a small amount of avian serum in a culture medium composed of Eagle's minimum essential medium (MEM) and horse serum. Mammalian sera, except for fetal bovine serum at high concentrations, could not substitute for the avian serum.
Rat myogenic cells grew in the presence of a small amount of mammalian serum in a culture medium composed of MEM and chick serum: avian sera, except for dove serum at high concentrations, could not substitute for the mammalian serum.
Serum from animals of the class from which the myoblasts were obtained was needed for cell growth. It is thus concluded that there is a class specificity among sera in regards to myogenic cell growth. The only exceptions to this hypothesis found so far were fetal bovine and dove sera. 相似文献

Tumor-associated antigens (TAA) expressed on the surface of enzootic bovine leukemia (EBL) cells were detected and separated from sera of bovine leukemia virus (BLV)-positive cattle using monoclonal antibody-conjugated immunoaffinity matrix. Eluted fraction from these sera showed 3 polypeptides with molecular weights of 70K, 52K, and 30K daltons, and these polypeptides reacted with a monoclonal antibody against TAA. However, only 70K peptide was isolated from culture supernatant of EBL B-cell line. We also tried to examine a reversed passive hemagglutination test to develop a rapid screening system of serum TAA level, but its sensitivity was below the level of detection when EBL sera was applied directly. This is the first report on the existence of tumor antigens in sera from leukemic cattle. 相似文献

Mouse thymocytes activated the alternative complement pathway of mouse serum in the presence of heated fetal calf serum. The activation required C3 from the fetal calf serum but was independent of antibody either in the murine or bovine serum. No other murine cells tested, including erythrocytes, peripheral blood lymphocytes, lymph node cells, spleen cells, and various cultured cell lines, activated the alternative complement pathway as effectively as thymocytes. In addition, sera from species other than cows could not substitute for fetal calf serum. The C3 deposited on thymocytes was in the form of both C3b (immune adherence positive) and C3bi (conglutinable). We propose that the basis of activation in this system is the specific protection of bovine C3b on mouse thymocyte surface. 相似文献

In a previous experiment, rabbits and goats were immunized with boiled and ethanol precipitated (BE) bovine kidney antigen, and the specificity of the antibodies produced was compared (Andersen 1975). The caprine sera were species specific while the rabbit sera, however, cross-reacted with BE antigens from other ruminant species. Sera from 2 rabbit littermates differed somewhat in that 1 serum seemed to be mainly species specific giving only weak reactions against BE antigens from kidney and spleen from other ruminants, whilst the other serum was more organ specific and reacted equally with homologous and heterologous kidney antigens. 相似文献

Summary The effects of collagenous substrata, fibronectin, and fetal bovine serum on the adhesion, proliferation, and adipogenesis of rat stromal-vascular cells are reported. There was no effect on initial stromal-vascular cell-attachment by fetal bovine serum or fibronectin. The number of cells attached to a hydrated collagen-gel was almost twice (P<0.04) the number attached to dried collagen-gel or dried denatured collagen-gel. Total number of cells after 5 days in culture was similar among the collagenous substrata and among the treatments with or without fibronectin in the growth media. Total number of cells increased significantly (P<0.02) with 10% FBS. Adipocytic formation was inhibited by hydrated collagen-gel (P<0.02) compared to dried collagen-gel or dried, denatured collagenous substrata. An interaction occurred between dried, denatured gel and fetal bovine serum so that total formation of adipocytes increased by increasing the level of fetal bovine serum (P<0.07). Adipocytic formation was inhibited by hydrated collagen-gel at all levels of fetal bovine serum. The percentage of cells that converted to adipocytes was significantly lower (P<0.01) on hydrated collagen-gel compared to dried, denatured or dried collagen-gel. Percentage of conversion was not significantly different among levels of fetal bovine serum, although this percentage increased as fetal bovine serum level increased. Adipocytic conversion was not different between fibronectin-treated or untreated cells. Morphology of stromal vascular cells was similar on dried collagen and dried, denatured collagen-gel, but tended to remain bipolar on hydrated collagen-gel. These studies indicate that fetal bovine serum in combination with the extracellular matrix (dried, denatured collagen) increased the differentiation of rat stromal-vascular cells into adipocytes, and that hydrated collagen inhibited differentiation. 相似文献

An agglutination test has been developed for the detection of rabies antibodies after human vaccination. The rabies agglutination test (RAT) is based on the capability of specific antibody to agglutinate sensitized polystyrene (or latex) beads. In the RAT, latex beads were coated, in a first step, with inactivated and purified rabies virus (PV strain adapted and propagated on BHK-21 cells) and, in a second step, with bovine serum albumin. Negative control beads were coated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) only. To test for human antibody, several microliters of serum were mixed on a glass slide with an equal volume of virus-sensitized beads and the mixture was gently agitated. After a few minutes, agglutination was visible with sera which had been characterized as positive by the virus neutralization antibody (VNAb) technique. No agglutination was observed with negative sera tested with virus-coated beads or with positive sera tested with BSA-coated beads. Virus-sensitized beads were agglutinated when the virus neutralizing antibody titres were equal to or greater than 2.5 international units per ml (IU/ml) in human sera. The concordance between the RAT results and VNAb titres was about 97% when 2.5 IU/ml was taken as the cut off value for determining the positive sera with the VNAb technique. The possibility that clinicians might use the RAT as a simple means to determine sero-conversion at the end of the post-exposure treatment of patients is discussed. 相似文献

Rosette formation by human thymocytes 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
A proportion of lymphocytes in human fetal and post-natal thymus, and in blood, formed rosettes with red blood cells from sheep and pig. The count of rosette-forming cells (RFC) among human thymocytes varied widely, from 2–216 per thousand cells, and was higher in fetal than in post-natal life. The count of RFC among human thymocytes was not reduced by specific rabbit anti-human immunoglobulin sera, indicating that the receptor was not of immunoglobulin character; the reaction was inhibited by antithymocyte serum and metabolic poisons and certain enzymes. The receptor may be equivalent to other “non-specific” glycoprotein hemagglutinins in plants and viruses.The importance of species differences in immunological assays is emphasized. Thus human thymocytes gave high counts of RFC only with red blood cells of sheep and pig; moreover thymus lymphocytes from only man and pig, but not several other species including rodents, were highly reactive with sheep red blood cells. The capacity for rosette formation could be a marker for T cells in human blood. 相似文献

Specificities of haemagglutinating antibodies evoked by members of the cephalosporin C family and benzylpenicillin 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
1. Antisera have been produced in rabbits to benzylpenicillin and four members of the cephalosporin C family and to conjugates of these substances with bovine gamma-globulin. 2. Deacetoxycephalosporin C reacted less readily and deacetylcephalosporin C lactone more readily with bovine gamma-globulin than did benzylpenicillin, cephalosporin C or deacetylcephalosporin C. 3. Antisera to free or conjugated benzylpenicillin agglutinated red cells sensitized with a variety of penicillins, but only reacted to a significant extent with cells sensitized with the cephalosporins tested when the latter contained an N-phenylacetyl or chemically related side chain. 4. Antisera to members of the cephalosporin C family agglutinated cells sensitized with these cephalosporins or with penicillin N, but did not react with cephalosporins whose side chains were chemically unrelated to alpha-aminoadipic acid. 5. Members of the cephalosporin C family and products of hydrolysis of cephalosporin C behaved as hapten inhibitors of antisera to cephalosporin C, but 7-aminocephalosporanic acid was relatively ineffective. 6. These findings are discussed in relation to differences in the chemical properties of penicillins and cephalosporins. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to elaborate a method of heterophile mononucleosis antigen preparation useful for latex coating. This antigen was isolated from bovine red blood cells stroma by the technique of Schwarzweiss and Tomcsik with author's own modification, in which introductory extraction of erythrocytes stroma ++ was performed by means of trichloracetic acid, aqueous extraction and elution of active substance with 80% ethanol. Besides of heterophile antigen preparation obtained by the method of Schwerzweiss and Tomcsik (preparation S-T) two serologically++ active preparations were obtained (fraction I and IV), which ability to inhibit PBD agglutinating reaction and bovine red blood cells haemolysis was 16 and 8 times lower, respectively, than S-T preparation. The preparation of heterophile mononucleosis antigen obtained differed in latex coating efficacy. In order to prepare latex reagent MZ-I (from fraction I) a solution of preparation of 125 micrograms/ml concentration was used, for MZ-II (from fraction IV)--50 micrograms and for MZ-III (from preparation S-T)--15 micrograms/ml. The reagent MZ-I showed, the highest activity in agglutinating test with human serum containing heterophile mononucleosis antibodies while two others reacted with 2-4 times lover serum dilutions. Similar differentiated reactivity with these reagents was found in latex test with 15 sera from patients suspected of having infectious mononucleosis. 相似文献

The human-type A-B-O blood groups of 57 pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) were determined and the calculated gene frequencies, O = 0.8908, A = 0.0825 and B = 0.0267, gave excellent fit with the hypothesis of inheritance by triple allelic genes. In tests for simian-type blood groups with rhesus, baboon and crab-eating macaque immune antisera, it was shown that the red cells of pig-tailed macaques are polymorphic for several simian-type specificities defined by those cross-reacting sera. Pig-tailed macaques share with other macaque species the complex Drh-graded blood group system, which seems to occupy a special role among red cell antigens of macaques. Normal sera of three female macaques contained spontaneous isoagglutinins which selectively agglutinated the red cells of some pig-tailed as well as stump-tailed macaques. 相似文献

Avibacterium paragallinarum, the causative agent of infectious coryza, releases extracellular membrane vesicles (MVs), containing immunogenic proteins, proteases, putative RTX proteins, haemagglutinin, and nucleic acids, into the medium. MVs ranging 50-300 nm in diameter were observed by electron microscopy. They contained immunogenic proteins in the range of 20-160 kDa, detected using vaccinated or experimentally infected chicken sera raised against Av. paragallinarum, but not in pooled sera from specific pathogen-free chickens. Proteolytic activity was not detected in MVs through zymograms; however, immune recognition of high molecular mass bands was observed by Western blotting using an antiprotease serum against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 purified protease, suggesting its presence. MVs agglutinated glutaraldehyde-fixed chicken red blood cells indicating the presence of haemagglutinating antigens. Nucleic acids were also detected inside MVs. Avibacterium paragallinarum releases MVs containing putative virulence factors, which could be important in the pathogenesis of infectious coryza. 相似文献

Analysis of the antibody repertoire of lymphoma patients 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Cancer testis or cancer germline antigens (CGA) are promising vaccine candidates because they are expressed only in malignant but not in normal tissues, except for germ cells in the testis. Since non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) express the known CGA at low frequencies, we aimed at increasing the number of CGA with frequent expression in NHL by screening a cDNA expression library derived from normal testis for reactivity with high-titered IgG antibodies in the sera of lymphoma patients using SEREX, the serological identification of antigens by recombinant cDNA expression cloning. The analysis of 1.6x10(6) clones with the sera of 25 lymphoma patients revealed 42 clones which coded for 23 antigens, 12 of which had already been included in the SEREX databank. Four cDNA clones coded for unknown and 19 for known genes. Three antigens reacted only with the serum by which they had been detected, 9 antigens reacted with the sera of several NHL patients, but not with that of healthy controls, and 11 antigens reacted with both normal and NHL sera. Most of the antigens were ubiquitously expressed. Only HOM-NHL-6, HOM-NHL-8, HOM-NHL-21 and HOM-NHL-23 showed a restricted expression pattern. HOM-NHL-6 and HOM-NHL-8 were homologous to the previously described CGA NY-ESO-1 and HOM-TES-14/SCP-1, respectively. HOM-NHL-21 was expressed in rare cases of lymphomas, but not in normal tissues except for testis and brain, while HOM-NHL-23 appeared to be a testis-specific antigen. In summary, using the antibody repertoire of these 25 NHL patients, no new CGA were detected. The number of CGA detectable by the classical SEREX approach appears to be limited, and novel strategies are necessary to identify antigens that can serve as a vaccine target in a broad spectrum of NHL patients. 相似文献

Summary Fetal bovine serum has been reported to delay or inhibit “spontaneous” neoplastic transformation in vitro as compared with
all other sera tested. The present results indicate that fetal bovine serum is also unique in containing high levels of protein-glutathione
mixed disulfides (3 to 7 μg glutathione as mixed disulfide per ml serum). The level of mixed disulfide appears to vary in
accordance with the period of gestation of the fetal calves used to prepare the serum, decreasing below detectable levels
(less than 0.2 μg per ml) with nearterm fetal calves. Calf, adult bovine, fetal horse, and swine sera did not contain detectable
levels of this type of mixed disulfide.
