Specific recognition of mycobacterial protein and peptide antigens by γδ T cell subsets following infection with virulent Mycobacterium bovis.
Promoting effective immunity to Mycobacterium bovis infection is a challenge that is of interest to the fields of human and animal medicine alike. We report that γδ T cells from virulent M. bovis-infected cattle respond specifically and directly to complex, protein, and nonprotein mycobacterial Ags. Importantly, to our knowledge, we demonstrate for the first time that bovine γδ T cells specific...
متن کاملProduction of MPT-64 recombinant protein from virulent strain of Mycobacterium bovis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic infectious disease common to humans and animals which has been caused by a rod shaped, acid fast bacterium, called Mycobacterium bovis. The rapid and sensitive detection is a great challenge for TB diagnosis. The virulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) have 16 different regions of difference (RD) in their genome which encode some important a...
متن کاملSynthetic peptides identify promiscuous human Th1 cell epitopes of the secreted mycobacterial antigen MPB70.
MPB70 is a secreted protein of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis which stimulates both cellular and humoral immune responses during infection with bovine and human tubercle bacilli. In addition, vaccination with MPB70 has been shown to induce Th1 cell responses and protection in animal models of tuberculosis. The present study was carried out to map the dominant human Th1 cell ...
متن کاملProcessing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Bacilli by Human Monocytes for CD4 ab and gd T Cells: Role of Particulate Antigen
Mycobacterium tuberculosis readily activates both CD4 and Vd2 gd T cells. Despite similarity in function, these T-cell subsets differ in the antigens they recognize and the manners in which these antigens are presented by M. tuberculosis-infected monocytes. We investigated mechanisms of antigen processing of M. tuberculosis antigens to human CD4 and gd T cells by monocytes. Initial uptake of M....
متن کاملMycobacterium bovis-infected cervine alveolar macrophages secrete lymphoreactive lipid antigens.
Tuberculosis is caused by intracellular bacteria belonging to the genus Mycobacterium, including M. tuberculosis and M. bovis. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the primary host cell for inhaled mycobacteria. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which infected AMs can process and present mycobacterial antigens to primed lymphocytes and how these responses may affect ensuing protection ...
