Mycobacterium lepraemurium infection of nude athymic (nu/nu) mice.
Nude athymic (nu/nu) mice on a BALB/c background and their heterozygous euthymic litter mates (nu/+) were infected with either 10(8) or 10(6) Mycobacterium lepraemurium organisms intravenously or in the left hind footpad (LHF). After LHF infection with 10(8) M. lepraemurium organisms, nu/+ mice slowly developed a response that consisted of LHF swelling and local resistance to Listeria monocytog...
متن کاملDelayed-type hypersensitivity to influenza virus. Induction of antigen- specific suppressor T cells for delayed-type hypersensitivity to hemagglutinin during influenza virus infection in mice
Mice infected with A/England/939/69 X A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (Rec 31) influenza virus by aerosol develop significantly lower levels of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to A/Hong Kong/1/68 X A/Puerto Rico/8/34/ (X31) virus compared to uninfected mice. The suppression of DTH to the hemagglutinin appears to be mediated by suppressor T cells which carry Lyt-1 membrane antigen marker, and not by sy s...
متن کاملSuppression of immunity to Mycobacterium lepraemurium infection.
After injection of 10(8) live Mycobacterium lepraemurium (MLM) into the left hind footpad of mice, there is development of local swelling attributable to a granuloma of the cell-mediated immunity type. Concomitant intravenous inoculation of live MLM delays and may even suppress footpad swelling, the effects being proportional to the intravenous dose of organisms. Concomitant footpad infection a...
متن کاملTwo types of suppressor T cells that inhibit delayed-type hypersensitivity to Mycobacterium intracellulare in mice.
Mycobacterium intracellulare Mino grows progressively in the organs of C57BL/6 mice. When C57BL/6 mice were injected with strain Mino, very weak or almost no delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to the specific antigen, M. intracellulare purified protein derivative, was observed. The DTH response was enhanced by cyclophosphamide pretreatment, indicating that some suppression mechanism(s) might b...
متن کاملGenetic control of delayed type hypersensitivity to Mycobacterium leprae antigen.
The mechanism of genetic control of Mycobacterium leprae-specific delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) in mice was investigated in terms of footpad swelling response. Studies with various congenic and recombinant inbred strains of mouse revealed that M. leprae-specific DTH was controlled by genes within the I-A subregion. The footpad swelling response showed an antigen-specific pattern, revealin...
