BACKGROUND: Chondroitin-4-sulfate (CSA) was recently described as a Plasmodium falciparum cytoadherence receptor present on Saimiri brain microvascular and human lung endothelial cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To specifically study chondroitin-4-sulfate-mediated cytoadherence, a parasite population was selected through panning of the Palo-Alto (FUP) 1 P. falciparum isolate on monolayers of Saimiri brain microvascular endothelial cells (SBEC). Immunofluorescence showed this SBEC cell line to be unique for its expression of CSA-proteoglycans, namely CD44 and thrombomodulin, in the absence of CD36 and ICAM-1. RESULTS: The selected parasite population was used to monitor cytoadherence inhibition/dissociating activities in Saimiri sera collected at different times after intramuscular injection of 50 mg CSA/kg of body weight. Serum inhibitory activity was detectable 30 min after injection and persisted for 8 hr. Furthermore, when chondroitin-4-sulfate was injected into monkeys infected with Palo-Alto (FUP) 1 P. falciparum, erythrocytes containing P. falciparum mature forms were released into the circulation. The cytoadherence phenotype of circulating infected red blood cells (IRBC) was determined before and 8 hr after inoculation of CSA. Before inoculation, in vitro cytoadherence of IRBCs was not inhibited by CSA. In contrast, in vitro cytoadherence of circulating infected erythrocytes obtained 8 hr after CSA inoculation was inhibited by more than 90% by CSA. CONCLUSIONS: In the squirrel monkey model for infection with P. falciparum, chondroitin-4-sulfate impairs in vitro and in vivo cytoadherence of parasitized erythrocytes. 相似文献

The role of avian lymphokines as nonspecific immunomodulators of host immunity against the intracellular parasite Eimeria was investigated. Prophylactic treatment of normal chickens with crude cell-free supernatants obtained from JMV-1 culture, concanavalin A (Con A)-stimulated normal spleen cells, or sporozoite-stimulated immune T cells prior to inoculation with E. tenella or E. acervulina conferred significant protection. These crude cell-free culture supernatants also inhibited intracellular development of eimerian parasites in vitro. Avian macrophages pretreated with these supernatant preparations showed inhibitory activity against Eimeria. This inhibitory activity could not be ascribed to anti-Eimeria antibody, complement, or cell-free Marek's disease virus and was therefore considered to be due to immunomodulating lymphokines present in the culture supernatants. These results suggest that JMV-1-transformed T lymphoblastoid cells, immune T lymphocytes, and Con A-stimulated normal spleen cells secrete lymphokines that can enhance host immunity in a nonspecific manner and implicate cell-mediated immunity as a major mechanism of the protective host immune response against eimerian infections. 相似文献

RESA-IFA assays were conducted using 63 adult sera from 7 different malarious areas against 7 different strains of Plasmodium falciparum, and 28 children's sera against 3 different parasite strains. Generally, where immunity to malaria was high, there was little or no antigenic diversity among the different strains examined. However, where sera were collected from semi-immunes, or from children, some variation in the RESA-IFA endpoint titers was discernible. Correlation between antibody titers determined by RESA-IFA and in vitro parasite invasion inhibition was not complete. Sera having high RESA-IFA titers were predictably inhibitory; however, many sera having low RESA-IFA titers were as inhibitory as sera having high titers, indicating that antibodies with specificities different from the RESA may be as important, or more important, to clinical immunity to blood-stage infections. 相似文献

Background
Antibodies targeting blood stage antigens are important in protection against malaria, but the key targets and mechanisms of immunity are not well understood. Merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP1) is an abundant and essential protein. The C-terminal 19 kDa region (MSP1-19) is regarded as a promising vaccine candidate and may also be an important target of immunity.Methodology/Findings
Growth inhibitory antibodies against asexual-stage parasites and IgG to recombinant MSP1-19 were measured in plasma samples from a longitudinal cohort of 206 children in Papua New Guinea. Differential inhibition by samples of mutant P. falciparum lines that expressed either the P. falciparum or P. chabaudi form of MSP1-19 were used to quantify MSP1-19 specific growth-inhibitory antibodies. The great majority of children had detectable IgG to MSP1-19, and high levels of IgG were significantly associated with a reduced risk of symptomatic P. falciparum malaria during the 6-month follow-up period. However, there was little evidence of PfMSP1-19 specific growth inhibition by plasma samples from children. Similar results were found when testing non-dialysed or dialysed plasma, or purified antibodies, or when measuring growth inhibition in flow cytometry or microscopy-based assays. Rabbit antisera generated by immunization with recombinant MSP1-19 demonstrated strong MSP1-19 specific growth-inhibitory activity, which appeared to be due to much higher antibody levels than human samples; antibody avidity was similar between rabbit antisera and human plasma.Conclusions/Significance
These data suggest that MSP1-19 is not a major target of growth inhibitory antibodies and that the protective effects of antibodies to MSP1-19 are not due to growth inhibitory activity, but may instead be mediated by other mechanisms. Alternatively, antibodies to MSP1-19 may act as a marker of protective immunity. 相似文献5.

Rabbit anti-murine TNF-alpha antibodies were administered in vivo to mice to evaluate the role of TNF-alpha in T cell-mediated immunity. Anti-TNF suppressed the in vivo development of contact sensitivity to the hapten TNP in a dose-dependent fashion. Similarly anti-TNF suppressed the in vivo priming for TNP-specific CTL. Control antibodies did not suppress cell-mediated immunity, whereas purified murine rTNF-alpha neutralized the antibody activity. Antibody therapy was effective during the afferent or priming limb of immunity, but could not inhibit the response if administered during the efferent limb. FACS for CD2, CD3, CD4, and CD8 T, B, and NK cell surface markers demonstrated no major change in the distribution of splenic lymphoid cell populations in animals pretreated with anti-TNF antibody. These results suggest that anti-TNF antibody may be interfering with soluble cytokines rather than with cell surface TNF causing depletion of cell populations. In vitro analyses also showed that anti-TNF has minimal inhibitory effects on secondary (secondary CTL) or strong primary (primary CTL, alpha CD3, MLR) responses, even though these in vitro cultures produce TNF mRNA as shown by polymerase chain reaction amplification. Although anti-TNF antibody did not affect the above responses, primary interactions are strongly inhibited in vivo. These findings suggest that TNF is important during afferent, priming events in immunity and that inhibition of TNF receptor-ligand interactions may alter immunity early in a response. Conversely such inhibition is ineffective later in a response, perhaps due to the ability of multiple other receptor-ligand pathways to bypass TNF. 相似文献

The glutamate-rich protein (GLURP) is an exoantigen expressed in all stages of the Plasmodium falciparum life cycle in humans. Anti-GLURP antibodies can inhibit parasite growth in the presence of monocytes via antibody-dependent cellular inhibition (ADCI), and a major parasite-inhibitory region has been found in the N-terminal R0 region of the protein. Herein, we describe the antiplasmodial activity of anti-GLURP antibodies present in the sera from individuals naturally exposed to malaria in a Brazilian malaria-endemic area. The anti-R0 antibodies showed a potent inhibitory effect on the growth of P. falciparum in vitro, both in the presence (ADCI) and absence (GI) of monocytes. The inhibitory effect on parasite growth was comparable to the effect of IgGs purified from pooled sera from hyperimmune African individuals. Interestingly, in the ADCI test, higher levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were observed in the supernatant from cultures with higher parasitemias. Our data suggest that the antibody response induced by GLURP-R0 in naturally exposed individuals may have an important role in controlling parasitemia because these antibodies are able to inhibit the in vitro growth of P. falciparum with or without the cooperation from monocytes. Our results also indicate that TNF-α may not be relevant for the inhibitory effect on P. falciparum in vitro growth. 相似文献

Immune phagocytosis inhibition by commercial immunoglobulins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sixteen commercially available immunoglobulins (Ig) and 5 anti-Rho (D) hyperimmune globulins were investigated for immune phagocytosis inhibition (IPI) factors as well as for T, B lymphocytotoxic and monocytotoxic antibodies. All Ig contained IPI factors with lowest inhibitory IgG concentrations ranging from 0.08 to 50 mg/ml. Pepsin-digested Ig was noninhibitory. IPI factors in anti-D preparations were uniformly high (inhibitory IgG concentrations 0.6-2.5 mg/ml). Cytotoxic antibodies against T, B lymphocytes and monocytes were found in 2,2 and 7 products, respectively. Since we have recently shown that IPI is caused by antibodies against major histocompatibility complex antigens, most likely HLA, the hypothesis is put forward that IPI factors in Ig are HLA-related, cytotoxic as well as noncytotoxic antibodies which act via Fc receptor blockade of human monocytes. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that squirrel monkeys vaccinated with a particular protein fraction of Plasmodium falciparum develop a protective immunity that is expressed at the humoral level by the presence of antibodies directed essentially against two parasite proteins. We have now isolated a mAb that recognizes one of these polypeptides of an apparent m.w. of 90,000 and an isoelectric point of 6.2. This parasite protein is synthesized in a short period of the asexual blood cycle corresponding to the mature tropho and early schizont stages, but is stable up to the end of the schizogony. By immunofluorescence analysis, the protein seems to be located essentially at the surface of the parasite and/or in the parasitophorous vacuole. The protein is degraded or modified in the process of reinvasion, because it was not detected in merozoites or in newly invaded RBC. Monoclonal antibody XIV-7 has no inhibitory effect against the parasite in vitro. 相似文献

Immune gamma-globulins containing antibodies to bovine DNAse I inhibit activities of bovine and mouse DNAse I both in vitro and in vivo. Bovine DNAse I was used as exogenous DNAse I in the in vivo studies and was injected to mice intraperitoneally in combination with gamma-globulins. The serous fluid of mice was used as a source of endogenous DNAse I. Both in in vitro and in vivo studies immune gamma-globulins caused a practically complete inhibition of bovine DNAse I activity, whereas the activity of mouse DNAse I (endogenous) was inhibited by 60-80%. Nonimmune gamma-globulins had no inhibitory effects whatsoever. 相似文献

Various monosaccharides have been shown capable of inhibiting lymphokine activity in in vitro assay systems. In this study, we demonstrate that L-fucose can inhibit the ability of lymphokine-containing supernatants to induce skin reactions or cause reductions in the macrophage content of peritoneal exudates. Moreover, L-fucose can inhibit the cutaneous delayed hyoersensitivity reaction and the peritoneal macrophage disappearance reaction (MDR) induced by antigen in actively immunized guinea pigs. The effect of L-rhamnose, another sugar with in vitro inhibitory activity, was investigated in the MDR, and was also shown to be inhibitory. L-arabinose, which has no in vitro effects on lymphokines, had no suppressive effect on any of the in vivo systems studied. No monosaccharide inhibition of Arthus reactions or nonspecific inflammation could be found in these studies. The results demonstrate that monosaccharides capable of inhibiting lymphokine activity in vitro are effective in suppressing in vivo manifestations of cellular immunity. 相似文献

Background
Antibodies to P. falciparum apical membrane protein 1 (AMA1) may contribute to protective immunity against clinical malaria by inhibiting blood stage growth of P. falciparum, and AMA1 is a leading malaria vaccine candidate. Currently, there is limited knowledge of the acquisition of strain-specific and cross-reactive antibodies to AMA1 in humans, or the acquisition of invasion-inhibitory antibodies to AMA1.Methodology/Findings
We examined the acquisition of human antibodies to specific polymorphic invasion-inhibitory and non-inhibitory AMA1 epitopes, defined by the monoclonal antibodies 1F9 and 2C5, respectively. Naturally acquired antibodies were measured in cohorts of Kenyan children and adults. Antibodies to the invasion-inhibitory 1F9 epitope and non-inhibitory 2C5 epitope were measured indirectly by competition ELISA. Antibodies to the 1F9 and 2C5 epitopes were acquired by children and correlated with exposure, and higher antibody levels and prevalence were observed with increasing age and with active P. falciparum infection. Of note, the prevalence of antibodies to the inhibitory 1F9 epitope was lower than antibodies to AMA1 or the 2C5 epitope. Antibodies to AMA1 ectodomain, the 1F9 or 2C5 epitopes, or a combination of responses, showed some association with protection from P. falciparum malaria in a prospective longitudinal study. Furthermore, antibodies to the invasion-inhibitory 1F9 epitope were positively correlated with parasite growth-inhibitory activity of serum antibodies.Conclusions/Significance
Individuals acquire antibodies to functional, polymorphic epitopes of AMA1 that may contribute to protective immunity, and these findings have implications for AMA1 vaccine development. Measuring antibodies to the 1F9 epitope by competition ELISA may be a valuable approach to assessing human antibodies with invasion-inhibitory activity in studies of acquired immunity and vaccine trials of AMA1. 相似文献12.
Antigen-specific, interleukin 2-propagated T lymphocytes confer resistance to a murine malarial parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi adami 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
To explore cell-mediated immune mechanisms in host defense against malaria, we utilized a murine model system in which antibody-independent mechanisms of immunity are known to play a major role. Splenic T lymphocytes obtained from Plasmodium chabaudi adami-immune mice were maintained in vitro by using IL 2-containing medium and frequent antigenic stimulation. These IL 2-propagated T lymphocytes were characterized for their antigen reactivity, surface phenotype, and ability to confer protection to P. chabaudi adami in reconstituted mice. IL 2-dependent T lymphocytes maintained their capacity to proliferate in vitro to solubilized parasite preparations of homologous but not heterologous antigens. Antigen-specific proliferation was H-2 restricted, requiring antigen-presenting cells of the correct haplotype. More importantly, these propagated T lymphocytes were effective in adoptively transferring protection to both athymic nude mice and sublethally irradiated recipients. The protective response was dose dependent and antigen specific, because recipients resisted challenge infection with P. chabaudi adami but not with the heterologous parasite Plasmodium yoelii 17X. Pretreatment of the IL 2-propagated cells with anti-Thy-1.2 and complement abrogated their ability to transfer protection. Collectively, these results suggest that T lymphocytes obtained from P. chabaudi adami-immune mice, propagated and expanded in vitro, retain antigen specificity and passive protective activity in vivo. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that patients with primary malignant brain tumors have impaired in vivo and in vitro cell-mediated immunity. The purpose of the present research was to employ pokeweed mitogen (PWM)-induced secretion of immunoglobulin (Ig) by peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) to further investigate impaired lymphocyte function in these patients. The PWM response of PBL from normal individuals averaged 8384 plaque-forming cells (PFC) per 10(6) cells, whereas the response of PBL from patients averaged 1590 PFC/10(6). The decreased PWM response of PBL patients could not be improved by varying the number of PBL placed in culture or employing different concentrations of PWM. Co-culture experiments to detect the presence of suppressor cells in PBL and purified T cell preparations from patients demonstrated that enhanced suppressor cell activity was not evident. Next, experiments were performed to assess the T-helper cell activity present in purified T cell preparations obtained from patients. The results demonstrated that T cells from patients lacked the ability to provide adequate helper activity in the PWM response. Moreover, studies with monoclonal antibodies directed against T cell subsets revealed that PBL from patients have a reduced percentage of T-helper cells (40%) as compared with normal values (55%). In concert with T-helper cell anomalies, B cell function in these patients also is diminished. Thus, these observations indicate that a combined T-helper and B cell defect may contribute to the broad impairment of host immunocompetence observed in patients with primary gliomas. 相似文献

Synergistic role of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in IFN-gamma production and protective immunity induced by an attenuated Toxoplasma gondii vaccine. 总被引:44,自引:0,他引:44

BALB/c mice vaccinated with a temperature-sensitive mutant (TS-4) of Toxoplasma gondii develop complete resistance to lethal challenge with a highly virulent toxoplasma strain (RH). This immunity is known to be dependent on IFN-gamma synthesis. In vitro and in vivo T cell depletions were performed in order to identify the subsets responsible for both protective immunity and IFN-gamma production. When stimulated with crude tachyzoite Ag in vitro, CD4+ cells from vaccinated mice produced high levels of TH1 cytokines (IL-2 and IFN-gamma) but not TH2 cytokines (IL-4 and IL-5). CD8+ cells, in contrast, produced less IFN-gamma and no detectable IL-2. Nevertheless, they could be induced to synthesize IFN-gamma when exposed in culture to exogenous IL-2. In vivo treatment with anti-CD4 plus anti-CD8 or anti-IFN-gamma antibodies during challenge infection completely abrogated resistance to T. gondii. In contrast, treatment with anti-CD4 alone failed to reduce immunity, whereas anti-CD8 treatment partially decreased vaccine-induced resistance. These results suggest that although IFN-gamma and IL-2-producing CD4+ lymphocytes are induced by vaccination, IFN-gamma-producing CD8+ T cells are the major effectors of immunity in vivo. Nevertheless, CD4+ lymphocytes appear to play a synergistic role in vaccine-induced immunity, probably through the augmentation of IFN-gamma synthesis by the CD8+ effector cells. This hypothesis is supported by the observation that when giving during vaccination, as opposed to after challenge, anti-CD4 antibodies are capable of blocking protective immunity. 相似文献

A total of 110 cattle were examined in an area endemic for Bancroftian filariasis for the prevalence of infection of the bovine filarial parasite Setaria digitata. About 12.5% of cattle were found to harbour both adult worms in the peritoneum and microfilariae (mf) in circulation; 70% of the cattle were amicrofilaraemic but with an adult worm infection. A third group of cattle (16.5%) was free of detectable mf and adult worms. The presence of adult worms and/or mf did not influence the antibody levels to any of the four antigen preparations of S. digitata. However, there was a significant inverse relationship between the presence of antibodies to microfilarial sheaths and the absence of circulating mf as shown by the immunoperoxidase assay. Cattle immunoglobulin containing high titres of anti-sheath antibodies cleared circulating microfilariae very effectively in Mastomys coucha thus demonstrating the protective nature of anti-sheath antibodies in eliminating circulating microfilariae in vivo. 相似文献

Background
Antibodies that inhibit the growth of blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum may play an important role in acquired and vaccine-induced immunity in humans. However, the acquisition and activity of these antibodies is not well understood.Methods
We tested dialysed serum and purified immunoglobulins from Kenyan children and adults for inhibition of P. falciparum blood-stage growth in vitro using different parasite lines. Serum antibodies were measured by ELISA to blood-stage parasite antigens, extracted from P. falciparum schizonts, and to recombinant merozoite surface protein 1 (42 kDa C-terminal fragment, MSP1-42).Results
Antibodies to blood-stage antigens present in schizont protein extract and to recombinant MSP1-42 significantly increased with age and were highly correlated. In contrast, growth-inhibitory activity was not strongly associated with age and tended to decline marginally with increasing age and exposure, with young children demonstrating the highest inhibitory activity. Comparison of growth-inhibitory activity among samples collected from the same population at different time points suggested that malaria transmission intensity influenced the level of growth-inhibitory antibodies. Antibodies to recombinant MSP1-42 were not associated with growth inhibition and high immunoglobulin G levels were poorly predictive of inhibitory activity. The level of inhibitory activity against different isolates varied.Conclusions
Children can acquire growth-inhibitory antibodies at a young age, but once they are acquired they do not appear to be boosted by on-going exposure. Inhibitory antibodies may play a role in protection from early childhood malaria. 相似文献17.
Protective T cell immunity against malaria liver stage after vaccination with live sporozoites under chloroquine treatment 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Belnoue E Costa FT Frankenberg T Vigário AM Voza T Leroy N Rodrigues MM Landau I Snounou G Rénia L 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2004,172(4):2487-2495
In this study we present the first systematic analysis of the immunity induced by normal Plasmodium yoelii sporozoites in mice. Immunization with sporozoites, which was conducted under chloroquine treatment to minimize the influence of blood stage parasites, induced a strong protection against a subsequent sporozoite and, to a lesser extent, against infected RBC challenges. The protection induced by this immunization protocol proved to be very effective. Induction of this protective immunity depended on the presence of liver stage parasites, as primaquine treatment concurrent with sporozoite immunization abrogated protection. Protection was not found to be mediated by the Abs elicited against pre-erythrocytic and blood stage parasites, as demonstrated by inhibition assays of sporozoite penetration or development in vitro and in vivo assays of sporozoite infectivity or blood stage parasite development. CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells were, however, responsible for the protection through the induction of IFN-gamma and NO. 相似文献

These studies assess the roles of subpopulations of T lymphocytes in inducing and modulating resistance to Schistosoma mansoni. CDF rats were depleted of RT 7.1+ (anti-Pan-T), W3/25+ (anti-T helper/inducer), or OX8+ (anti-T suppressor) cells by the in vivo administration of monoclonal antibodies (mAb). The development of parasites and immunity to challenge by S. mansoni were compared with results in undepleted normal and congenitally athymic rats. Discrete subpopulations of T lymphocytes were adoptively transferred to ascertain effects upon parasite development and the protective immune response. In vitro studies, involving utilizing cocultivation of cell subpopulations +/- cyclosporin A, were utilized to dissect mechanisms. Depletion of T lymphocytes by anti-RT7.1 mAb and anti-W3/25 mAb resulted in augmented initial worm development, suboptimal resistance, and decreased antibody and delayed-type hypersensitive reactivity directed against schistosome antigens. Depletion with OX8 mAb produced opposite effects. The adoptive transfer of T cell subpopulations produced concordant results with T cell regulation expressed B cell-dependent effector mechanisms. The coadoptive transfer of cells resulted in the suppression of resistance afforded by the W3/25+ cells by OX8+ cells, which could be augmented in vitro by cyclosporin A. Thus, protective immunity to S. mansoni in rats is regulated by discrete subpopulations of T lymphocytes. The findings suggest the possibility of selective immune regulation of resistance based on the manipulation of specific T cell subpopulation. 相似文献

Role of specific IgE antibodies in peroxidase (EPO) release from human eosinophils 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14

After the demonstration of cytophilic IgE immunoglobulins (Ig) on human blood and lung eosinophils, their role in cell activation was studied by eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) assay. Hypodense human eosinophils from filariasis-infected patients were activated by anti-human Ig or various antigens. A selective release of EPO occurred after incubation with anti-human IgE, but not with anti-human IgG. The activation by antigens showed a strict antibody specificity of cytophilic IgE antibodies. The direct involvement of IgE antibodies in activation by the specific antigen was evidenced by inhibition experiments with aggregated human IgE myeloma protein. Circulating IgE antibodies exhibiting the same specificity and able to induce EPO release were detected in the sera from filariasis patients by a passive sensitization assay. Only the hypodense eosinophils were able to release EPO after IgE-dependent activation both in the direct assay and in the passive sensitization test, confirming the functional heterogeneity of human eosinophils. These results suggest that the interaction between IgE antibodies and human eosinophils can play a role both in protective immunity and pathology by releasing active pharmacologic mediators. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. A correlation was observed between in vivo and in vitro activity of six monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against the major circumsporozoite protein of the avian malaria Plasmodium gallinaceum as follows. (1) Two mAb were protective, totally abrogating sporozoite infectivity to chicks, its natural host, in vivo; they caused 100% inhibition of sporozoite invasion (ISI) in vitro to SL-29 chicken fibroblasts and intense ISI to cultured chicken macrophages, as well as inhibited the exoerythrocytic development of sporozoites taken up by macrophages, the initial cell host of P. gallinaceum sporozoites. (2) Two mAb were partially protective in that they reduced sporozoite infectivity to chicks, caused partial ISI to SL-29 and macrophage cells and partial inhibition to the exoerythrocytic development of sporozoites in macrophages in vitro. (3) Two mAb were totally inactive in vivo although they both bound to the sporozoite antigens as detected by indirect immunofluorescence, western blot, and ELISA; they both failed to induce ISI or inhibit the exoerythrocytic development in macrophages. The possible participation of macrophages as the initial cell type involved in sporozoite destruction in the presence of anti-circumsporozoite antibodies is discussed. 相似文献
