Characteristics of Streptococcal Group-specific Antibody Isolated from Hyperimmune Rabbits
Intravenous immunization of New Zealand red rabbits with streptococcal group-specific bacterial vaccines yielded sera which possessed markedly elevated gamma-globulin. The sera of one rabbit immunized with Group A-variant vaccine possessed 55 mg/ml of gamma-globulin. The bulk of this gamma-globulin, identified as gamma(G)-globulin, was homogeneous by zone electrophoresis and of specificity dire...
متن کاملAntibody response to the streptococcal group A-variant polysaccharide in BASILEA rabbits lacking kappa-polypeptide chains
Rabbits from a variant strain called BASILEA, in which homozygotes express only lambda-type chains and heterozygotes have normal kappa/lambda ratios, were hyperimmunized with a streptococcal group A variant vaccine. Homozygotes (bas/bas) produced antibodies with lambda-chains, heterozygotes, however, produced predominantly antibodies with kappa-chains. The incidence of restricted high responder...
متن کاملRates of Antibody Synthesis during First, Second, and Hyperimmune Responses of Rabbits to Bovine Gamma Globulin
Determinations of the rates of antibody synthesis during first, second, and hyperimmune responses to bovine gamma globulin using S(35)-labelle aminod acids indicate the following: 1. In all three responses the rate of antibody synthesis increases while antigen is circulating and then begins to decline rapidly after elimination of detectable circulating antigen. 2. The initial rates of decline o...
متن کاملStreptococcus pharyngis sp. nov., a novel streptococcal species isolated from the respiratory tract of wild rabbits.
Four isolates of an unknown Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative coccus-shaped organism, isolated from the pharynx of four wild rabbits, were characterized by phenotypic and molecular genetic methods. The micro-organisms were tentatively assigned to the genus Streptococcus based on cellular morphological and biochemical criteria, although the organisms did not appear to correspond to any spec...
متن کاملMicro complement fixation assay for type-specific group A streptococcal antibody.
A micro complement fixation assay was devised to measure the type-specificity of anti-M antibody. Unabsorbed sera were from rabbits hyperimmunized with heat-killed streptococci and from humans with naturally occurring antibody or immunized with purified M protein vaccines. These sera fixed complement only in the presence of homologous M proteins (serotypes 1, 3, 6, 12, and 14). The complement f...
