Cross-reactive antibodies prevent the lethal effects of Staphylococcus aureus superantigens.
The exotoxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) A-E and toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST)-1, which are associated with serious diseases, including food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome, are termed superantigens (SAgs). To examine whether common antigenic epitopes were present and whether vaccination with 1 bacterial SAg could protect against challenge with a ...
متن کاملSheep Monoclonal Antibodies Prevent Systemic Effects of Botulinum Neurotoxin A1
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is responsible for causing botulism, a potentially fatal disease characterized by paralysis of skeletal muscle. Existing specific treatments include polyclonal antisera derived from immunized humans or horses. Both preparations have similar drawbacks, including limited supply, risk of adverse effects and batch to batch variation. Here, we describe a panel of six high...
متن کاملExpression of crossreactive idiotypes by human antibodies specific for the capsular polysaccharide of Hemophilus influenzae B.
Human antibodies specific, for polyribosyl-ribitol-phosphate (PRP), the capsular polysaccharide of Hemophilus influenzae b, were studied using idiotypic analysis. Antisera were prepared against purified F(ab')2 anti-PRP from two unrelated adults, H.H. and P.T. After repeated absorption with IgG myeloma proteins and with PRP-absorbed normal human Ig and donor Ig, anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) sera we...
متن کاملMicroRNAs prevent the generation of autoreactive antibodies.
MicroRNAs have been shown to be critical for a number of aspects of immune system regulation and function. Here, we have examined the role of microRNAs in terminal B cell differentiation by analyzing Cd19-Cre(ki/+) Dicer1(fl/fl) mice. We found that in the absence of Dicer, the transitional and marginal zone (MZ) B cell compartments were overrepresented and follicular (FO) B cell generation was ...
متن کاملStructure of idiotopes associated with antiphenylarsonate antibodies expressing an intrastrain crossreactive idiotype
We have explored the structural basis of idiotopes associated with the major idiotype (CRIA) of A/J anti-p-azobenzenearsonate antibodies, with emphasis on the regions of contact with anti-idiotypic antibody. The analysis was facilitated by a recent description of the three-demensional structure of the Fab portion of a CRIA-related antibody molecule. Direct binding measurements failed to reveal ...
