Human red cells O Rh + are coated with purified tetanus toxoid, by means of chromic chloride as coupling agent. With this reagent and by passive haemagglutination technique, antitetanus antibodies can be automatically screened and titrated in blood donnors plasmas, on Groupamatic equipments. Comparative results of three techniques: counter immunoelectrophoresis; manual passive haemagglutination; automatic passive haemagglutination are given, 4, 92 percent among the 1.219 tested blood donnors plasmas have an antibody greater than or equal to 5 U.I., 16, 24 percent have a titre between 1 and 5 U.I.  相似文献

Antitetanus antibodies from each of 20 hyperimmunized human donors were isolated on a tetanus immunoadsorbent, eluted with acidic buffer, and examined by isoelectric focusing (IEF). There was electrophoretic restriction, as determined by IEF, in the IgG of only 20% of the purified antibodies studied. The remaining 80% showed a more diffuse polyclonal spectrotype. Several IEF bands from the most electrophoretically restricted sample were isolated and used to immunize rabbits. Virtually every IgG-IEF band in the antitetanus antibodies of the original donor shared idiotypic cross-reactivity as detected by one or more of the three rabbit anti-Id reagents, even though major qualitative differences in binding from one rabbit anti-Id reagent to another were noted. Antitetanus antibodies of each of the 20 donors were separated by IEF and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. By using a sensitive and specific ELISA detection method, cross-reactivity was detected with the rabbit anti-Id reagents in 1 to 50% of the antitetanus antibodies of individual donors. This cross-reactivity was greater than 10% in 15 of the 19 antisera studied. In addition, these cross-reactive antibodies had very different electrophoretic mobility. Binding of the rabbit anti-Id reagents to the tetanus antibodies was almost completely blocked by pretreatment with soluble tetanus toxoid antigen. This idiotypic cross-reactivity with antibodies of different electrophoretic mobility from the same and unrelated donors suggests sharing among these antibodies of one or more of the germ-line DNA-encoded hypervariable regions present in the antibody-combining site.  相似文献

A micro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been adapted to the quantitation of specific tetanus antibodies in commercial preparations of human immunoglobulins. The results of the assay are compared with those obtained from the same samples tested by seroneutralization tests in vivo. Statistical analysis of the data shows good correlation between the titres obtained with the two tests. Results obtained by indirect haemagglutination are also reported. It is proposed that all interested laboratories perform the described immunoenzymatic method in vitro for a given period in parallel with the in vivo test to gain sufficient experience of this technique with a view to its use as an alternative to the in vivo test.  相似文献

Immunization of BALB/c mice by horse antiserum against diphtheria made it possible to obtain IgG1 monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) 2B7E4 specific for light chains of horse immunoglobulin (Ig). Unlike commercial preparations of anti-horse immunoglobulin antibodies, which are specific for the whole Ig molecule or its Fc-fragment, the peroxidase (HRP) conjugate of the MoAb, 2B7E4-HRP did not interact with human, mouse, rabbit, and sheep Igs, or horse albumin. The conjugate obtained was used with MoAbs against bacterial toxins and commercial horse anatoxins, as a universal reagent in sandwich enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) for bacterial toxins and anatoxins. The detection sensitivity of diphtheria toxin/anatoxin equaled 0.0005 Lf/ml; tetanus toxin and anatoxin were detected with sensitivities of 20 LD50/ml and 0.005 UI/ml, respectively. A similar sandwich ELISA for botulinum anatoxins (group measurement) allowed types A, B, and E to be detected at 0.02, 0.002, and 0.001 UI/ml, respectively; selective measurement was only possible in the case of type E anatoxin (0.001 UI/ml).  相似文献

Combinations of T and B lymphocytes from normal individuals booster immunized 14–30 days previously with a combination of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids, synthesized IgG antitetanus toxoid, and IgG antidiphtheria toxoid antibodies when stimulated by pokeweed mitogen in vitro. The addition of 5 μg of soluble tetanus toxoid to the cultures during the first 2 days incubation resulted in greater than 90% suppression of the subsequent production of IgG antitetanus toxoid antibodies. The synthesis of IgM antitetanus toxoid antibodies, total IgG, total IgM, and IgG antidiphtheria toxoid antibodies were unaffected. Similarly, the addition of 5 μg of soluble diphtheria toxoid suppressed the synthesis of IgG antidiphtheria toxoid antibodies with no effect on the synthesis of IgG antitetanus antibodies. Allogeneic combinations of B and T lymphocytes were capable of mediating the suppression, and irradiation of the T cells caused only a partial and variable reversal of the suppression. The antigen-induced specific suppression of antibody synthesis could not be demonstrated in cultures stimulated with soluble T-cell-derived helper factors.  相似文献

In vitro methods are used as an alternative to the expensive and time-consuming official method in mice for the titration of tetanus antibodies. Numerous techniques have been developed and used for this purpose, but with mixed results. The difficulty is to get good correlation with in vivo units whatever the vaccinal status of the individual. Today, some of these serological techniques have been virtually abandoned in favor of others which are becoming widespread. RIA is still used, but only in laboratories which already have the necessary equipment and skill. It is gradually replaced by ELISA, a rather delicate technique which however has kept its promises and is amenable to further progress. Passive haemagglutination has been greatly improved by the use of turkey erythrocytes. With this modification, this technique becomes reliable and sensitive and is apparently able to give good results for a large number of sera in case of mass investigation as well as for a quick estimate of the protective level in an individual.  相似文献

Human PBL from vaccinated healthy blood donors, which was transplanted i.p. into mice with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), exhibited an Ag-dependent humoral Ir against tetanus toxoid. This Ir was dose dependent and was completely abrogated by immunizing with large amounts of Ag, suggesting a high dose tolerization of the B cells. A dose-dependent selection of specific, high affinity B clonotypes was also suggested, since immunization with low concentrations of tetanus toxoid produced antisera with higher avidity than immunizations using a high dose of Ag. The production of human Ig and the clonal outgrowth of normal human B cells in the SCID mouse was strongly down-regulated by human NK cells. Human immune B lymphocytes were also recovered from immunized SCID mice and transformed with EBV, yielding lymphoblastoid cell lines producing high affinity antitetanus human IgG antibodies. These results suggest that SCID mice, repopulated with human PBL, can constitute a functional model of several parameters of a normal human humoral Ir and can provide a source of immune B cells for the production of human mAb.  相似文献

The reverse indirect haemagglutination (RIHA) test has been standardized for the assay of the viral antigen of purified Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine. Glutaraldehyde fixed sheep erythrocytes were sensitized with ammonium sulphate purified antibodies to JE vaccine raised in mice. The sensitivity of the erythrocytes fell to about one hundredth of the initial sensitivity in the first two days after preparation. After initial loss in sensitivity the stability of the cells became stabilized and the cells retained their titre for one year at 4-8 degrees C. The initial loss in sensitivity was not reduced by storing the cells at -70 degrees C, but after freeze drying the sensitized cells with a stabilizer one day after their preparation the cells retained their sensitivity. The RIHA test has been found to be a highly reproducible and sensitive method for detecting viral antigen in 5-10 ng of protein nitrogen. The sensitivity of the test was affected by the origins of the erythrocytes, i.e. from the different sheep from which they were drawn. To obtain results more rapidly, goose erythrocytes were used in place of sheep erythrocytes and the sensitized goose erythrocytes gave RIHA results in only 40 min.  相似文献

In order to increase the sensitivity of the method of immunoelectrodiffusion (I.E.D.) and to isolate the class of immunoglobulins implicated or involved in the Aspergillose antigen-antibody reaction, we supplemented the I.E.D. by combining or incorporating it with an enzymatic technique. By this method the immune complexes precipitated are taken up by antibodies conjugated to one enzyme and specific to the immunoglobulins of each class. This constitutes the technique of E.L.I.E.D.A. (enzyme-linked-immuno-electro-diffusion assay). The sensitivity and the specificity of the proposed method would allow us to follow the qualitative evolution of the aspergillar antibodies and would lend support to further arguments on the evolutionary character of the inflammatory response.  相似文献

Semi-purified DEN-4 envelope protein, obtained in Pichia pastoris, was capable of generating neutralising and protecting antibodies after immunisation in mice. Here we compared two purification processes of this recombinant protein using two chromatographic steps: immune-affinity chromatography and immobilised metal ion adsorption chromatography (IMAC). The protein purified by both methods produced functional antibodies reflected by titres of haemagglutination inhibition and neutralisation. IMAC could be used as an alternative for high scale purification.  相似文献

The tetanus antitoxin titres of 174 serum samples from healthy adults were determined by a standardization indirect haemagglutination test (IHA) and the conventional toxin neutralization (TN) test. The serum samples were titrated by the IHA test using glutaraldehyde-fixed and toxoid sensitized sheep erythrocytes before and after the treatment of the sera with 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME). The IHA method has been found to be very sensitive and specific for the estimation of tetanus antitoxin in human sera. The IHA titres before the treatment of the sera with 2-ME were generally about four times higher than the TN titres and the correlation coefficient between these titres was 0.94. The IHA titres after the treatment of the sera with 2-ME were in good agreement with the TN titres and there was no statistically significant differences between the titres by the two methods. The tetanus antitoxin titres of 50% of the sera were below the minimum protective titres of tetanus antitoxin (0.01 IU/ml). In 19.5% of the sera the antitoxin level (IU/ml) ranged from 0.01 to 0.1, in 20.1% from 0.1 to 1.0 and in 10.4% from 1.0 to 10.0.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies against the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the deep rough mutant I-69 Rd/b+ of Haemophilus influenzae were obtained after immunization of mice with sheep erythrocytes which had been coated with de- O -acylated LPS. Characterization of antibodies was performed by enzyme immuno assay (EIA) using LPS or neoglycoconjugates containing partial structures of LPS as solid-phase antigens and by haemagglutination with sheep erythrocytes coated with de- O -acylated LPS. Binding data were confirmed by EIA inhibition experiments using deacylated LPS or synthetic partial structures thereof. Three antibodies were specific for 3-deoxy- d - manno -octulopyranosonic acid- (Kdo) 5-phosphate, one for Kdo-4-phosphate, and one required, in addition to a Kdo-phosphate, parts of the phosphorylated glucosamine backbone of lipid A. All antibodies also bound in (i) Western blots to bacterial whole-cell lysates or isolated LPS separated by SDS–PAGE, (ii) bacterial colony blots, and (iii) immunofluorescence with live bacteria. The latter result indicated that Kdo-4- and Kdo-5-phosphate are synthesized by the bacteria and are not the result of phosphate migration.  相似文献

The effects of either intraperitoneal or intravenous injection of low doses (5 or 10 ml/kg) of the proprietary emulsified perfluorocarbon-based blood substitute, Fluosol-DA 20%, on mouse lymphoid tissue and antibody production against sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) have been investigated. Mean liver weight was significantly increased and gut mesenteric lymph node (MLN) weights decreased in all animals injected with Fluosol-DA, irrespective of route of administration. In contrast, spleen weight decreased following intravenous injection of emulsion at 5 ml/kg. The mean plasma haemagglutination response to SRBC was significantly (P less than 0.01) increased in animals injected intraperitoneally with Fluosol at both doses but was similar to control in all other cases. These results show that lymphoid tissue responses to Fluosol-DA in mice are variable and that antibody production against intraperitoneally-injected SRBC is enhanced by prior injection of emulsion into the peritoneal cavity.  相似文献

A similar frequency of positive results for rubella IgM antibodies in the sera of rubella patients and persons contacting such patients was obtained by immunofluorescence after separation of IgM is sucrose gradient and after absorption of the sera with Staphylococcus aureus and immunoglobulin aggregates. Compared to the immunofluorescence method, the haemagglutination method for rubella IgM antibodies performed after absorption of the sera with S. aureus and reduction of immunoglobulins M with 2-mercaptoethanol was less sensitive for serum samples taken in the acute phase of the disease and 5 weeks after the appearance of rubella symptoms.  相似文献

Serum samples from 77 guinea pigs immunized against tetanus have been titrated for tetanus antitoxin by a standardized indirect haemagglutination (IHA) test and the conventional toxin neutralization (TN) test. These sera were titrated before and after treatment of the sera with 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) by the IHA test using unfixed sheep erythrocytes and erythrocytes fixed with glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde and pyruvic aldehyde. The titres of these sera obtained by IHA using unfixed and glutaraldehyde-fixed sheep erythrocytes before treatment of the sera with 2-ME were two to six times higher than the TN titres, whereas the IHA-titres using formaldehyde- and pyruvic aldehyde-fixed sheep erythrocytes were 10 times higher than the TN titres in some of the sera. There was no statistically significant difference between TN and IHA titres using unfixed and glutaraldehyde-fixed sheep erythrocytes after the treatment of the sera with 2-ME.  相似文献

Structure of tetanus toxin. II. Toxin binding to ganglioside.   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
The interaction between tetanus toxin and ganglioside containing 2 N-acetylneuraminic acid residues linked in sequence to one another has been investigated using a new method involving radioactively labeled ganglioside and tetanus toxin adsorbed to Sephadex matrix. Binding between the two components was demonstrated, and it was calculated that in the nanomolar concentration range, tetanus toxin becomes half-saturated at about 5 X 10(-8) M concentration of ganglioside. Removal of the ceramide portion from the ganglioside resulted in the complete loss of binding activity, whereas removal of the terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid residue from the intact ganglioside had no effect. Among the fragments derived from tetanus toxin (Helting, T. B., and Zwisler, O. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 187-193), only the heavy chain polypeptide exhibited a binding activity of the same order of magnitude as that observed for the native toxin. The light chain polypeptide showed no interaction with ganglioside and among the fragments derived from the toxin by digestion with papain, only Fragment C, at a high protein concentration, displayed marginal binding activity. Using monovalent antibodies directed against specific regions of the tetanus toxin molecule, it was demonstrated that antibodies directed against Fragment C uniquely interfere with the binding process. Anti-light chain serum was ineffective, as well as antitetanus toxoid serum previously absorbed with Fragment C. It is concluded that the binding site for ganglioside is located on the heavy chain portion of tetanus toxin, possibly in or near the region comprised by Fragment C.  相似文献
