Binding 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 induces bovine leukocytes to undergo morphologic changes consistent with apoptosis in vitro.
Infection of the bovine lung with Pasteurella haemolytica results in an acute respiratory disorder known as pneumonic pasteurellosis. One of the key virulence determinants used by this bacterium is secretion of an exotoxin that is specific for ruminant leukocytes (leukotoxin). At low concentrations, the leukotoxin can activate ruminant leukocytes, whereas at higher concentrations, it inhibits l...
متن کاملPasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin enhances production of leukotriene B4 and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid by bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
The influence of the leukotoxin of Pasteurella haemolytica on the generation of arachidonic acid metabolites by bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) was investigated. PMNs released 5-, 12-, and 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (5-, 12-, and 15-HETE) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) upon stimulation with arachidonic acid. The leukotoxin preparations dose dependently enhanced the release of the 5-...
متن کاملActivation 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 کاملLymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 is a receptor for Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin in bovine leukocytes.
Pasteurella (Mannheimia) haemolytica leukotoxin (Lkt) causes cell type- and species-specific effects in ruminant leukocytes. Recent studies indicate that P. haemolytica Lkt binds to bovine CD18, the common subunit of all beta2 integrins. We designed experiments with the following objectives: to identify which member of the beta2 integrins is a receptor for Lkt; to determine whether Lkt binding ...
