Human immunoglobulin G mediates protective immunity and identifies protective antigens against larval Strongyloides stercoralis in mice.
Protective immunity to larval Strongyloides stercoralis in mice has been shown to be dependent on antibody, complement, and granulocytes. The goals of the present study was to determine the following: (1) whether human serum could passively transfer immunity to mice, (2) the mechanism by which the serum mediated killing, and (3) whether the antigens (Ags) recognized by the protective human anti...
متن کاملProtective Immunity in Mice
A transposon insertion mutant of Listeria monocytogenes was shown to be deficient in prephenate dehydratase, an enzyme acting late in the pathway for biosynthesis of phenylalanine. This mutant had reduced virulence in mice. The mutant and parent strains persisted to the same extent in the tissues of infected mice and elicited similar degrees of splenomegaly. Mice vaccinated with the mutant were...
متن کاملCathepsin G and neutrophil elastase contribute to lung-protective immunity against mycobacterial infections in mice.
The neutrophil serine proteases cathepsin G (CG) and neutrophil elastase (NE) are involved in immune-regulatory processes and exert antibacterial activity against various pathogens. To date, their role and their therapeutic potential in pulmonary host defense against mycobacterial infections are poorly defined. In this work, we studied the roles of CG and NE in the pulmonary resistance against ...
متن کاملProtective immunity against Trypanosoma cruzi.
Upon infection, Trypanosoma cruzi triggers a strong immune response that has both protective and pathological consequences. In this work, several important questions regarding protective immunity are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on recent studies of the important protective role of CD8+ T cells and on previous studies of immunisation of domestic T. cruzi reservoirs that sought to address practi...
متن کاملProtective Role of Antigens from Peritoneal Exudates of Infected Mice against Toxoplasmosis
Background: Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that infects all mammalian cells. Several antigens such as excreted/secreted antigens have been identified as a potential vaccine candidate. Objective: To determine how excreted/secreted antigens from peritoneal exudates of infected mice (mESA) stimulate cell-mediated immune responses and induce protective immunity against toxo...
