Immunoglobulin isotype isolated from human placental extract does not interfere in complement-mediated bacterial opsonization within the wound milieu
نویسندگان
چکیده
The wound healing potency of an aqueous extract of placenta can be evaluated through the presence of numerous regulatory components. The presence of glycans was detected by thin layer chromatography and fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed the existence of multiple fragments of immunoglobulin G (IgG). IgG was present in the extract at a concentration of 25.2 ± 3.97 μg/ml. IgG possesses anti-complementary activity by diverting the complement activation from target surface. Thus, effect of placental IgG on complement-bacteria interaction was investigated through classical and alternative pathway and the preparation was ascertained to be safe with respect to their interference in the process of bacterial opsonization.

Soluble human complement receptor type 1 inhibits complement-mediated host defense.
Soluble complement receptor type 1 (sCR1) is a powerful inhibitor of complement activation. Because of this ability, sCR1 may prove to be an important therapeutic agent that can be used to block the immunopathologic effects of uncontrolled complement activation in a variety of clinically significant disorders. Although several previous studies have examined the ability of sCR1 to inhibit comple...

The role of the classical complement pathway and specifically the first component, C1 in antibody-independent opsonization of type Ia group B Streptococcus (GBS) was investigated. For these studies a radiolabeled bacterial uptake assay was developed that was dependent on time and bacterial concentration and that required an intact classical complement pathway. To directly investigate the role o...

Opsonization of clinical isolates of B. fragilis and B. thetaiotaomicron with the six isolated proteins of the alternative complement pathway under physiological conditions resulted in considerable C3 deposition on the bacterial surfaces. The time course of C3 deposition was similar to that observed in EGTA-serum; however, the magnitude of C3 deposition was twofold greater in EGTA-serum. Opsoni...

Virulent isolates of Vibrio vulnificus resist the bactericidal and opsonizing effects of normal human serum, in contrast to environmental isolates, which are highly serum susceptible. Immune responses to bacteremic V. vulnificus infections in human subjects have not been characterized. Serum from a patient who survived sepsis caused by V. vulnificus had substantial bactericidal and opsonizing i...

Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS), particularly Salmonella enterica serovars Typhimurium and Enteritidis, is responsible for a major global burden of invasive disease with high associated case-fatality rates. We recently reported the development of a candidate O-antigen-CRM197 glycoconjugate vaccine against S. Typhimurium. Here, using a panel of mouse monoclonal antibodies generated by the vaccine,...
