Bactericidal Action and Cytophilic Antibodies of Macrophages of Infected Guinea Pigs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fate of virulent Salmonella typhimurium within macrophages of guinea pigs was assessed by a suspended cell culture procedure. The present study confirmed that macrophages of normal guinea pigs were capable of inactivating the ingested salmonellae. Macrophages of previously infected guinea pigs were not endowed with any significant increase in their ability to eliminate the ingested pathogen. However, the immune macrophages were observed to clump together tightly when they were exposed to salmonellae. This phenomenon was attributed to the presence of specific cytophilic antibodies on the immune macrophages. When immune macrophages were inactivated with Merthiolate, they agglutinated with both the H and the 0 antigens of S. typhimurium, but not with the 0 antigens of other species of Salmonella nor with the 0 antigens of Escherichia coli. Cytophilic antibodies could be eluted from immune macrophages by incubation in the absence of immune serum. Conversely, cytophilic antibodies could be passively transferred onto normal macrophages by incubation in the presence of immune serum. Furthermore, using immune serum previously adsorbed with the 0 antigens of S. typhimurium, cytophilic antibodies against the H antigens alone could be transferred onto normal macrophages, or those against the 0 antigens alone could be eluted from immune macrophages.These data suggest that immune macrophages possess specific cytophilic antibodies against both the H and the 0 antigens of S. typhimurium. It is proposed that the presence of cytophilic antibodies on immune macrophages represents an expression of antibacterial cellular immunity by enhanced clumping and phagocytic activities of the macrophages.

The in vitro macrophage migration inhibition test was used to detect the development of delayed-type hypersensitivity in guinea pigs infected with Salmonella typhimurium. Four different preparations from supernatants of S. typhimurium cultures were used as the antigens in this test. They included the concentrated bacterial antigens, the high-molecular-weight (>50,000) antigens, the ammonium sul...
متن کاملSuppression of severe airway inflammation with non-toxic dietary nutrients in histamine-challenged guinea pigs: A comparison with Ibuprofen
We hypothesize that selected combinations of nutrients commonly encountered in the human diet, suppress asthma-associated airway inflammation more effectively than currently available anti-inflammatory medications. Here we demonstrate that biflavones and terpenes, distributed widely in human diet (in this case derived from Ginkgo biloba) synergize with the carotenoid antioxidant astaxanthin and...
