Ag85-focused T-cell immune response controls Mycobacterium avium chronic infection
CD4+ T cells are essential players for the control of mycobacterial infections. Several mycobacterial antigens have been identified for eliciting a relevant CD4+ T cell mediated-immune response, and numerous studies explored this issue in the context of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Antigen 85 (Ag85), a highly conserved protein across Mycobacterium species, is secreted at the early phas...
متن کاملT-cell immune responses in Mycobacterium avium-infected mice.
Mycobacterium avium infection was substantially more severe in C57BL/6 (Bcgs) than in (C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F1 hybrid (Bcgr) mice both in terms of bacterial growth in the spleens and lungs and in host survival. Prior Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination resulted in increased resistance as well as enhanced tuberculin hypersensitivity to both PPD-S (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and PPD-A (M. avium). Mic...
متن کاملSTIM1 controls T cell-mediated immune regulation and inflammation in chronic infection.
Chronic infections induce a complex immune response that controls pathogen replication, but also causes pathology due to sustained inflammation. Ca2+ influx mediates T cell function and immunity to infection, and patients with inherited mutations in the gene encoding the Ca2+ channel ORAI1 or its activator stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) are immunodeficient and prone to chronic infection...
متن کاملEffect of different cell fractions of Mycobacterium avium and vaccination regimens on Mycobacterium avium infection.
Because of the availability of uniform genetic stocks and the ability to modulate stress levels, chickens were investigated as a host for the development of an antimycobacterial vaccine. The imposition and the timing of stress significantly influenced the outcome of Mycobacterium avium infection in chickens. Simple, whole cell or lysate vaccines and combinations of vaccine preparations were ide...
متن کاملImmunopathogenesis of Mycobacterium avium infection.
One of the most obvious problems one perceives when working with Mycobacterium avium isolates is the vast array of phenotypes expressed with regard to colonial morphotype, serovar and particularly virulence. Thus whenever experimental data derived from different MAC isolates is compared the variety of this group of mycobacteria must always be considered. Another issue of concern is the extrapol...
