Blastogenic response of human lymphocytes to oral bacterial antigens: comparison of individuals with periodontal disease to normal and edentulous subjects.
Cell-mediated immunity in humans to antigens derived from oral plaque bacteria was investigated by using the lymphocyte blastogenesis assay. Subjects with varying severities of periodontal disease including normal, gingivitis, periodontitis, and edentulous were compared. Mononuclear leukocytes were separated from peripheral blood and cultured with antigens prepared by sonication of Actinomyces ...
متن کاملLocal IgA-memory response to bacterial antigens.
For over 100 years, it has been known that oral immunization can protect against challenge by certain enteropathogenic ba~teria. ' .~ The mechanism of this protection was unclear as most individuals did not demonstrate strong serum agglutinins to the orally administered vaccine. Work by Davies in 1922 provided evidence that agglutinating antibodies in stool specimens from patients with dysenter...
متن کاملIrradiated β-glucan enhances immune response to bacterial infection through CD4 and CD8 T-lymphocytes
Background: &beta-glucans are glucose polymers with a variety of stimulatory effects on the immune system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the immune-enhancing activities of low molecular weight gamma irradiated &beta-glucan (I&beta-g) extracted from Pleurotus ostreatus in response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in rats. Materials and Methods: &beta-glucan (&beta-g) powder was ...
متن کاملBlastogenic response of human lymphocytes to early antigen(s) of human cytomegalovirus.
The lymphocytes of asymptomatic, seropositive donors demonstrated blastogenic responses to early antigens of human cytomegalovirus whether or not antibodies to early antigens were detectable. The lymphocytes of six of nine patients with active cytomegalovirus infections gave stimulation indexes of greater than or equal to 2.00 with antigens of productively infected cells, whereas only two patie...
متن کاملAntibody Response to Bacterial Antigens: Characteristics of Antibody Response to Somatic Antigens of Salmonella typhimurium.
The character of the antibody response in the rabbit to Salmonella typhimurium somatic (O) antigen was similar to the response to each of several serotypes of Shigella flexneri O antigens, namely a predominance of production of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody. Lipopolysaccharide protein (LPSP) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) fractions of Salmonella O antigen differed significantly in both quantita...
