Heterogeneity of CD4-positive human T-cell clones which recognize the surface protein antigen of Rickettsia typhi.
Immunity to the typhus group of rickettsiae is largely dependent on the effector function of several classes of T lymphocytes, including those which produce gamma interferon. Since the surface protein antigen (SPA) derived from typhus group rickettsiae has been shown to be an effective immunogen in animal models, human T-cell clones specific for the SPA of Rickettsia typhi were isolated and tes...
متن کاملFine structure of Rickettsia canada in tissues of Dermacentor andersoni Stiles.
Preliminary observations on growth and developmental fine structure of Rickettsia canada in various organs and tissues of the hard tick, Dermacentor andersoni Stiles, are reported. R. canada is typically rod-shaped, being delimited with a three-layered wall having a velvety coating adsorbed to its exterior surface. A finely reticulated cytoplasmic matrix containing prominent ribosomes is delimi...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny and rearrangement of rRNA genes in Rickettsia species.
It has previously been observed that Rickettsia prowazekii has an unusual arrangement of the rRNA genes. In this species, the three rRNA genes, 16S (rrs), 23S (rrl), and 5S (rrf), are not linked in the typical arrangements for bacteria. Rather, the 16S rRNA gene has been separated from the 23S and 5S rRNA gene cluster, and the 23S rRNA gene is preceded by a gene which codes for methionyl-tRNAf(...
متن کاملA Rickettsial Infection in Canadian Voles
From apparently normal voles captured on Grosse Isle, Province of Quebec, Canada, an infective agent has been grown in embryonated eggs, and by inoculation an inapparent infection was established in voles, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rats. No growth of the agent was obtained in the absence of living cells, and the manner of its development in the yolk sac of embryonated eggs, as well as mo...
متن کاملDetection of antibodies against spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR), typhus group Rickettsia (TGR), and Coxiella burnetii in human febrile patients in the Philippines.
A total of 157 sera from febrile patients in the Philippine General Hospital in Manila, Luzon, and the Northern Samar Provincial Hospital, the Philippines, were used. Serum antibodies against spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) and typhus group Rickettsia (TGR) were detected by indirect immunofluorescence test. Antibody positive rates were 1.3% for SFGR (Rickettsia japonica) and 2.5% for TGR ...
