A long-term antimalaria T-cell line (AMTL) expressing a helper phenotype (Thy 1.2+, Lyt 2.2-) was established from Plasmodium berghei-recovered Balb/c mice. The ability of this T-line to induce macrophage motility was measured in vivo and in vitro. Adoptive transfer of AMTL cells to normal Balb/c mice showed an increased delayed hypersensitivity response to the homologous antigen, i.e., parasitized erythrocytes (PE). In vitro, AMTL culture supernatant (AMTL-SUP) augmented chemotactic locomotion of macrophages derived from both normal and infected mice. However, the effect on normal macrophages was significantly higher. AMTL cells adoptively transferred to normal mice had no effect on parasitemia levels or mortality rate after subsequent infection with P. berghei. Partial characterization of the AMTL-SUP indicated the involvement of a protein of about 12,600 Daltons in the enhancement of chemotaxis. These findings suggest that the AMTL cells and chemoattractants produced by them can induce macrophage motility, and that the macrophage malfunction in Balb/c with P. berghei infection is not due to defects at the T-lymphocyte level. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to establish the function of T-lymphocytes in protective immunity against a cryptococcal infection in animals treated with Cyclophosphamide (Cy) pre or post infection and to determine how they relate to the progression of the disease.Inbred Suquía rats were infected either intranasally (i.n.) or intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 105 viable Cryptococcus neoformans cells. The infected rats were divided in three groups. One of the groups (group I) was utilized as a control. The second group (group II) was treated with Cy 3 days before the infection. The third group (group III) was treated with Cy 3 days after the infection.At approximately 22 days post infection, C. neoformans growth in selected organs of all animals were determined. In addition, humoral and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response were assayed in the rats.When the Cy was applied after the infection the DTH was significantly diminished and inverse to the colony forming unit (CFU) which increased leading to the animals death. On the other hand, injection of the drug 3 days before infection did not modify the response, that was comparable in both treated and the control animals.In this study it were found haemagglutinating antibodies in sera from i.n. and i.p. infected rats although at minimal levels and were not present in all animals.The results show that with a low T-cell function induced as a consequence of injecting Cy after the infection, rats did not develop a normal DTH response to cryptococcal infections and were not able to control a cryptococcal infection as well as animals with normal T-cell function. 相似文献

Attenuation of collagen arthritis and modulation of delayed-type hypersensitivity by type II collagen reactive T-cell lines 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
T-cell lines were established from the lymph node cells of syngeneic Louvain (LOU) rats previously immunized with native chick type II collagen (CII) emulsified in incomplete Freund's adjuvant. The CII lines proliferated in vitro to type II collagen but not to type I collagen, ovalbumin (OV), or PPD. Control lines, developed from LOU rats immunized with OV emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant, were OV specific because they did not respond to other antigens in vitro. CII line cells could adoptively transfer delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) but did not induce IgG antibody production to collagen. Moreover, the intravenous administration of 2 X 10(7) CII line cells prevented the subsequent induction of collagen arthritis following immunization and suppressed DTH to collagen without affecting antibody responses in the recipients. Spleen cells, but not sera, from these resistant rats decreased CII line reactivity in vitro. OV or irradiated CII lines had no effect on clinical or immunologic parameters in this model. These findings demonstrate protection from arthritis afforded by T-cell line transfer and suggest that the phenomenon results from down-regulation of the recipients' cellular immunity to collagen. 相似文献

A myelin basic protein-specific T lymphocyte line that mediates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A T lymphocyte line, BP-1, expressing the T helper phenotype was selected from Lewis rats immunized with guinea pig myelin basic protein (GP-BP) in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). The BP-1 line responded specifically to GP-BP but not to PPD after the first round of selection, and responded to rat but not human or bovine BP. When injected i.p. into histocompatible Lewis or F1 (Lewis X P2) recipients, the BP-1 line induced both clinical signs of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions in ears challenged intradermally with GP-BP but not PPD. The severity of clinical signs and the degree of ear swelling were dependent on the dose of BP-1 cells injected. Both activities were detectable with as few as 0.1 X 10(6) BP-1 line cells and required prior activation of the line cells with GP-BP presented by accessory cells. Lewis rats that had recovered from EAE induced by injection of GP-BP in CFA were more susceptible than naive rats to BP-1 line-mediated disease, requiring as few as 0.03 X 10(6) line cells. Clinical EAE and DTH could be serially transferred into F1 (Lewis X P2) recipients with BP-1 cells and back to nonirradiated Lewis parents with activated splenocytes, suggesting that BP-1 cells persist in recipient rats. These results demonstrate the potent biologic activities of an autoreactive BP-specific T lymphocyte line. This line possesses properties similar to BP lines described previously as well as to culture-conditioned splenic T effector cells; thus, the data presented here bridge the gap between these two approaches for studying T effector lymphocyte functions. 相似文献

Lysozyme and a series of its lipid-conjugated derivatives without adjuvant were examined in mice for their abilities to induce delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH), helper T-cell activity, and antibody formation. In addition, the effect of cyclophosphamide (CY) on the immune responses was assessed in mice immunized with these lysozyme derivatives. Precipitated lysozyme without lipid conjugation was a good inducer of both antibody and DTH responses. Lipid conjugation to lysozyme to intermediate degrees readily caused the failure only in inducing the antibody response. As lysozyme was lipid-conjugated more heavily, DTH response was also reduced and finally abolished. In contrast, the helper activity was little affected by any degree of lipid conjugation. These results indicate that the helper T-cell activity was dissociated from the both DTH response and the antibody production. CY pretreatment extensively enhanced DTH response induced by such lipid-conjugated derivatives that failed to induce antibody response. Furthermore, CY pretreatment in doses in a wide range enhanced not only DTH response but also antibody formation. It is, therefore, concluded that the enhancement of DTH response by CY does not necessarily entail suppression of antibody formation. 相似文献

Using a rat model, we have previously demonstrated that infection with Cryptococcus neoformans can trigger the production of a series of suppressor cells that specifically inhibit the cell-mediated immune response to a non-related antigen, human serum albumin (HSA), that has been injected 7 days after the infection. We previously determined that the cryptococcal infection induces afferent suppressor or suppressor induction cells (Ts1) to HSA. The primary objective of the present study was to investigate the suppressor cells involved in the efferent phase of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to HSA in rats infected with C. neoformans and immunized with the non-related antigen and determine the role that the Ts1 cell plays in the induction of that cell. For this purpose, the spleen mononuclear (SpM) cells containing the Ts1 or SpM cells from immunized non-infected rats (used as donor controls) were transferred to two groups of syngeneic naive recipients (first recipients). Later, the SpM cells from both groups of animals were transferred to rats immunized with HSA (second recipients). The efferent limb of the DTH response to HSA was suppressed in the recipients that received SpM cells from donors injected with Ts1 cells. Additional HSA antigen was not required for induction of these efferent suppressor cells. Furthermore, we here show that these cells are resistant to treatment with cyclophosphamide (Cy), and that they can activate another suppressor population. The latter are Cy sensitive and are present in the immune recipient. 相似文献

Three different types of immune mouse T cells raised against influenza virus were tested for their ability to induce the formation of macrophage procoagulant activity (MPCA) by a macrophage cell line PU5-1.8. They were primary spleen cells, taken 6 days after iv injection of virus, spleen cells from sensitized mice challenged with virus and cultured in vitro for 5 days (secondary cultured cells), and cloned T cells. With the last two preparations, some samples were K,D region restricted, Lyt 2+, and had cytotoxic activity; other samples were I region restricted, Lyt 2?, and were not cytotoxic. Samples of a concanavalin A-activated T-cell supernatant which regularly induced MPCA with PU5-1.8 cells were included as controls in all assays. A few batches of T-cell preparations failed to induce MPCA production, however, most batches were active. Two sources of variation were detected: first, the number of cells (5-to 150-fold) needed to induce a certain level of MPCA, as measured by the decrease in clotting time; and second, the value of the gradient of the cell dose response. Both K,D- and I-region-restricted cells, either as cloned or secondary cultured cells, could induce MPCA but with the latter preparation, I-region-restricted cells were the better inducers by about eightfold. T cells tested in this way were also injected into mouse hind footpads and their ability to mediate delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions was measured. A positive but not proportional correlation between the abilities to induce MPCA and mediate DTH activity for primary spleen cells was found, but this was not generally observed with cultured or cloned T cells. 相似文献

Lymphocytes are recruited out of the blood into delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions, but the factors controlling their migration are poorly understood. Our previous studies have shown that IFN-alpha/beta, its inducers, and T cell lymphokines can induce lymphocyte migration into the skin after intradermal injection. The present studies were designed to determine the effect of rIFN-gamma, IL-1, and anti-IFN-gamma on lymphocyte recruitment into DTH. Small peritoneal exudate lymphocytes, which preferentially migrate to inflammatory sites, were labelled with 111In and injected i.v. into rats. The intradermal injection of IFN-gamma stimulated the migration of these lymphocytes into the skin. IL-1 induced very little migration by itself, but enhanced the effect of IFN-gamma. Kinetic analysis demonstrated that the migration of lymphocytes to IFN-gamma was rapid, with a peak at 6 h, whereas migration into a DTH reaction was minimal for the first 8 h and reached a peak 24 h after intradermal injection. Polyclonal rabbit anti-IFN-gamma anti-serum, and a Mab to IFN-gamma, DB-2, could almost completely block lymphocyte migration induced by IFN-gamma. Furthermore, DB-2 inhibited lymphocyte recruitment into DTH reactions by 50 to 90%. This Mab did not affect migration in response to IFN-alpha/beta, although it partially inhibited the response to polyI:C. The effect of IFN-gamma on lymphocyte recruitment was not specific for small peritoneal exudate lymphocytes, because both spleen T cells and lymph node cells migrated in response to IFN-gamma and DB-2 inhibited the recruitment of splenic T cells to DTH. Thus, IFN-gamma is a potent stimulator of lymphocyte migration into the skin and a major mediator of lymphocyte recruitment into DTH. 相似文献

Carbohydrate-lipid-containing fractions (CLF) extracted from Leishmania major promastigotes and recognized by sera from immune but not from normal human donors were evaluated for their capacity to elicit cell-mediated responses. It was found that one of these fractions, CLF-1, stimulated the in vitro response of lymphocytes from immune but not from normal human donors. A similarly extracted fraction from L. donovani parasites also elicited an in vitro response by cells from donors immune to L. major. The response was mediated by antigen-presenting cells, and specific Leu 3+ Leu 2- T cells from a human T-cell line responded to the antigen. In vivo, the CLF-1 elicited delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response in L. major-immunized C3H mice, which was comparable to the DTH response elicited by freeze-thawed and sonicated L. major promastigotes. C3H mice were vaccinated with CLF-1 prior to challenge with live L. major promastigotes. Mice vaccinated with CLF-1-containing liposomes showed a significant degree of protection to challenge. These results suggest that the carbohydrate-lipid-containing fraction described here may represent a functional antigenic entity from Leishmania parasites. 相似文献

Populations enriched in each of the major rat T-cell subsets recognized by mouse monoclonal antibodies were prepared from thoracic-duct lymphocytes by affinity chromatography. Such enriched populations obtained from donor rats immunized with BCG were tested for their capacity to mediate delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) against purified protein derivative by adoptive transfer to recipient rats. The mediator activity was found in the populations enriched in T cells recognized by the monoclonal antibody W3/25. Thus, the results formally demonstrate that mediating DTH is another function of W3/25-positive T lymphocytes. In addition, the studies show that affinity chromatography is an effective method for preparing bulk quantities of functional lymphocyte populations enriched in the major rat T-cell subsets. 相似文献

Basic protein-specific T-cell lines that induce experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in SJL/J mice: comparison with Lewis rat lines 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Myelin basic protein (BP)-specific T-cell lines were selected from SJL/J mice using techniques to select similar lines from Lewis rats. SJL/J BP-specific T-cell lines were composed of T cells with the helper/inducer phenotype (Lyt 1.2+, 2.2- and L3T4+) and proliferated in response to both the 1-37 and the 89-169 fragments of guinea pig BP. BP-specific T-cell lines transferred delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to BP that persisted for over 60 days. Most recipient animals (32/41) developed acute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), and most survivors (19/24) developed chronic relapsing EAE. Spinal cords of animals during both the acute and the chronic phases of illness contained plaques of demyelination and infiltrates of lymphocytes and macrophages. These findings differed from those of Lewis rat BP-specific lines which respond to a different region of BP, transfer DTH responses that last less than 12 days, and induce acute EAE in which demyelination does not occur. 相似文献

The T cell line specific for a bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan subunit, disaccharide tetrapeptide of diaminopimelic acid type, was examined for epitope specificity in elicitation of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) in X-irradiated Lewis rats, using pairs of analogs different in optical configuration of the COOH-terminal amino acid. The test cell line induced DTH against analogs with the COOH-terminal D-amino acid but not against those with the L-amino acid at the COOH terminus. A close correlation was found between the T cell line-induced DTH reaction in vivo and the proliferative response in vitro, in terms of clear discrimination of the optical configuration of COOH-terminal amino acid of disaccharide tetrapeptide. The L-isomers (non-stimulatory analogs of T cell proliferation) competitively inhibited the proliferation of the T cell line by the corresponding D-isomers. Thus the L-isomers appear to interact with Ia molecules on antigen-presenting cells. We conclude that COOH-terminal D-amino acid of the disaccharide tetrapeptide could be involved in binding to the T cell receptor, induction of T cell proliferation, and elicitation of DTH. 相似文献

The regulation of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to soluble antigens derived from blood-stage parasites was investigated. DTH responses to soluble blood-stage malarial antigen were induced by subcutaneous (sc) sensitization in the flanks and elicited by ear challenge with the same antigen 6 days later. Adoptive transfer studies revealed that T cells of the L3T4+ phenotype were mediating this response. When a high dose of malarial antigen was injected intravenously (iv) prior to sc sensitization, immunosuppression of DTH resulted. The degree of immunosuppression was dependent on the dose of antigen injected iv and the time at which it was administered prior to sc sensitization. Immunosuppression was antigen-specific and mediated by Lyt-2+ splenic T cells. 相似文献

The role of antibody in the desensitization of delayed-type hypersnsitivity (DTH) to dinitrophenylated bovine gammaglobulin (DNP-BGG) was studied in rats. Rats sensitized by a subcutaneous injection of DNP32-BGG in Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) were desensitized 14 days later with various doses of DNP32-BGG injected intravenously. It was found that only certain doses (100–500 μg) of DNP-BGG effectively desensitized, antigen doses outside this optimum range being ineffective in suppressing DTH. In adoptive cell transfer experiments, it was shown that sensitized peritoneal cells incubated with optimum doses of the antigen in the presence of specific antiserum in vitro failed to transfer the delayed response to normal recipients, whereas the treatment of the sensitized cells with the antigen or with the antiserum separately did not impair the ability of these cells to transfer DTH. The effect of desensitization is specific and is not permanent. The DTH reappears 3–4 wk after desensitizing injection. 相似文献

Melatonin treatment prevents modulation of cell-mediated immune response induced by propoxur in rats
Suke SG Pathak R Ahmed RS Tripathi AK Banerjee BD 《Indian journal of biochemistry & biophysics》2008,45(4):278-281
The effect of melatonin, a major secretory product of the pineal gland, in attenuation of propoxur (2-isopropoxy phenyl N-methyl carbamate)-induced modulation of cell-mediated immune (CMI) response was studied in rats. Male Wistar albino rats were exposed to propoxur (a widely used pesticide) orally (10 mg/kg) and/or melatonin (10 mg/kg) orally for 4 weeks. CMI was measured by delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH), leucocyte and macrophage migration inhibition (LMI and MMI) responses and estimation of cytokines TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma levels. Rats exposed to propoxur for 4 weeks showed significant decrease in DTH, LMI and MMI responses. Propoxur also suppressed TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma production significantly. Administration of melatonin alone caused a significant increase in DTH response. Although there were no changes in the LMI and MMI response, the cytokine levels were significantly increased, as compared to control. Co-administration of melatonin along with propoxur significantly nullified the effect of the pesticide on the CMI response, except DTH and reversed levels of cytokines to near control/normal values. Thus, melatonin treatment considerably attenuated immunomodulation caused by sub-chronic treatment of propoxur in experimental animals. 相似文献

The hen egg-white lysozyme (HEL)-specific suppression induced by soluble molecules produced by a monoclonal T-cell lymphoma line (LH8-105) obtained from HEL-specific suppressor T lymphocytes has been examined. Injection of I-J+ molecules from LH8-105 cell culture supernatant (TsFa) in HEL-primed mice during the afferent phase of the response induced Lyt-2+ second order suppressor T (Ts) cells which, upon transfer into HEL-CFA-primed syngeneic recipients, inhibit the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to HEL. Transfer of spleen cells from TsFa-injected mice primed with HEL or human lysozyme suppresses the DTH response to HEL in recipient mice whereas this response is not affected by cell transfer from ring-necked pheasant egg-white lysozyme (REL)-primed and TsFa-injected mice, indicating that induction of second order Ts by TsFa is specific for a lysozyme epitope including phenylalanine at position 3. Fine antigenic specificity of second order Ts-cell induction is confirmed by similar results obtained upon injection of TsFa in mice primed with HEL N-terminal synthetic peptide or with an analog in which, as in REL, phenylalanine has been substituted by tyrosine at position 3. The same fine antigenic specificity observed in the induction of second order Ts cells is also present in the expression of TsFe suppressive activity. The similar antigenic specificity of Tsa and Tse suggests that Tse cells could result from amplification of the Tsa cell population or these two cell subsets could reflect different maturation stages of the same cell type rather than distinct T-cell populations activated in cascade. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated that anterior chamber (AC) injection of HSV-1 before or simultaneous with topical corneal HSV-1 infection resulted in cellular immune tolerance of HSV-1 Ag and a reduced frequency of corneal stromal lesions. In the present study, we have investigated the role of the HSV-1 cell-surface glycoproteins gC and gB in the induction of tolerance, and the resulting reduced susceptibility to HSV-1 corneal stromal disease. These studies utilized mutant strains of HSV-1 with deletion or point mutations in the gene coding for gC or gB. Groups of mice received topical corneal infections with wild-type HSV-1, followed by AC injection of the same eye with wild-type HSV-1 or a mutant strain. Varying the antigenic composition of the virus injected into the AC resulted in three distinct patterns of immune responsiveness. In agreement with our previous findings, AC injection of wild-type HSV-1 induced a state of HSV-1 specific tolerance that extended to both the delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) and CTL responses. A mutant strain lacking gC (gC-) induced partial tolerance characterized by undetectable CTL activity but a normal DTH response. A mutant strain lacking gB (gB-) caused partial suppression of the CTL response and no reduction of the DTH response. Thus, whereas gB may be involved in CTL tolerance induction in this model, gC clearly is not involved. In contrast, both gC and gB must be present in the AC to induce detectable DTH tolerance. The latter interpretation was strengthened by the observation that AC injection of a mixture of gC- (expressing normal gB) and gB- (expressing normal gC) effectively suppressed the DTH response to wild-type HSV-1. A panel of mar mutants with individual point mutations affecting gC and gB was used to identify the epitopes responsible for induction of DTH tolerance. Two of the gC mutants failed to induce DTH tolerance to wild-type HSV-1 when injected into the AC, suggesting that the sites on the gC molecule that are altered by these mutations are important for the induction of DTH tolerance. Similarly, one of the mar mutants for gB uniformly failed to suppress the DTH response, while another had a variable effect. The unique pattern of cellular immune reactivity exhibited by the mice receiving simultaneous topical corneal infection with wild-type HSV-1 and AC injection of gC- (no CTL but normal DTH) was associated with significantly reduced susceptibility to HSV-1 corneal stromal lesions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

We have studied the influence of different degrees of calorie restriction on the induction and the regulation of the delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) and TNBS-modified spleen cells (TNBS-SC), injected by the sc or the iv route. Immediately after weaning, BALB/c mice were placed on restricted diets for either 2 or 4 weeks and then the DTH response was induced. The results showed that a 37.5% restriction in the food supply significantly depressed the level of the DTH response induced by the sc injection of TNBS-SC. In contrast, a 25% restriction in the food supply was insufficient to depress the response. Calorie restriction did not modify the inhibitory influence of an iv injection of TNBS-SC on the DTH response. However, iv presensitization with free hapten or the simultaneous injection of TNBS-SC by the iv and the sc routes did not significantly depress the DTH response in calorie-restricted mice, indicating a defect in the inhibitory regulation of the DTH response in these dietary groups. 相似文献
