Vaccines for counteracting inhibition of neutrophil degranulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vaccines for counteracting inhibition of neutrophil degranulation by pathogenic cellular microorganisms comprise one or more purines conjugated to antigenic carriers. The purines include adenine and/or guanine in the form of a base, nucleoside, or nucleotide. The vaccines can be used with cattle to increase resistance to infections by Brucella abortus (brucellosis) and/or Haemophilus somnus (thromboembolic meningoencephalitis) and related symptomatic complex.

Bordetella parapertussis Circumvents Neutrophil Extracellular Bactericidal Mechanisms
B. parapertussis is a whooping cough etiological agent with the ability to evade the immune response induced by pertussis vaccines. We previously demonstrated that in the absence of opsonic antibodies B. parapertussis hampers phagocytosis by neutrophils and macrophages and, when phagocytosed, blocks intracellular killing by interfering with phagolysosomal fusion. But neutrophils can kill and/or...
متن کاملRole of neutrophil elastase in hypersecretion in asthma.
Goblet cell (GC) hyperplasia and mucous plugging are common in patients with acute asthma. These patients also show neutrophil recruitment into the airways. Neutrophils contain elastase, a potent secretagogue in airways. Therefore, it was reasoned that neutrophil recruitment, by releasing elastase, could result in GC hypersecretion. When neutrophil chemoattractants were instilled in the airways...
متن کاملSimvastatin inhibits neutrophil degranulation induced by anti-neutrophil cytoplasm auto-antibodies and N-formyl-methionine-leucine-phenylalanine (fMLP) peptide.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that simvastatin is capable of blocking human neutrophil degranulation induced by proteinase 3 (PR3)-anti-neutrophil cytoplasm auto-antibodies (ANCA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA, and by the chemotactic and inflammatory peptide N-formyl-methionine-leucine-phenylalanine (fMLP). METHODS This study was conducted between March 2010 and September 2011 at the Rena...
متن کاملAutophagy Is Required for Neutrophil-Mediated Inflammation.
Autophagy, an intracellular degradation and energy recycling mechanism, is emerging as an important regulator of immune responses. However, the role of autophagy in regulating neutrophil functions is not known. We investigated neutrophil biology using myeloid-specific autophagy-deficient mice and found that autophagy deficiency reduced neutrophil degranulation in vitro and in vivo. Mice with au...
متن کاملInvolvement of BLT1 endocytosis and Yes kinase activation in leukotriene B4-induced neutrophil degranulation.
One of the important biological activities of human neutrophils is degranulation, which can be induced by leukotriene B4 (LTB4). Here we investigated the intracellular signaling events involved in neutrophil degranulation mediated by the high affinity LTB4 receptor, BLT1. Peripheral blood neutrophils as well as the promyeloid PLB-985 cell line, stably transfected with BLT1 cDNA and differentiat...
