Activation of bovine neutrophils by partially purified Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin.
In this study we developed a new method for the partial purification of Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin by size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography. The partially purified leukotoxin had a molecular weight of 104,000, as estimated by using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and reacted on an immunoblot with an antileukotoxin monoclonal antibody. As expect...
متن کاملPasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin-induced synthesis of eicosanoids by bovine neutrophils in vitro.
Exposure of isolated bovine neutrophils to partially purified Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin caused increased synthesis of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) but not thromboxane B2 (TXB2) from endogenous arachidonic acid. Synthesis of LTB4 was closely correlated with leukotoxin-induced neutrophil lysis. At low toxin concentrations, LTB4 production lagged behind leukotoxin-induced neutrophil lysis over a...
متن کاملBinding of Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin to bovine leukocytes.
Pasteurella haemolytica is the principal bacterial pathogen in the bovine respiratory disease complex. This organism produces an exotoxin (referred to as leukotoxin) during logarithmic-phase growth that is a potent leukocyte-modulating agent. At low concentrations, it activates neutrophils and mononuclear phagocytes to release inflammatory mediators, while at the same time making these cells de...
متن کاملPasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin-induced increase in phospholipase A2 activity in bovine neutrophils.
Exposure of bovine neutrophils to Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin (LKT) stimulates the production of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), which is believed to be an important chemotactic agent in the development of acute fibrinopurulent pneumonic infection in cattle. The involvement of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in LKT-induced synthesis of LTB4 was studied by using bovine neutrophils labeled with 3H-arachido...
متن کاملPulmonary Endothelial Cells by Pasteurella haemolytica Leukotoxin
In this study, we used an in vitro coculture system to determine which virulence factor from Pasteurella haemolytica Al was responsible for augmenting bovine polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN)-mediated killing of bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAEC). A 5"Cr release cytotoxicity assay was used as a measure of BPAEC killing. The mechanisms associated with this BPAEC killing were also...
