Effective, nonsensitizing vaccination with culture filtrate proteins against virulent Mycobacterium bovis infections in mice.
Vaccination of mice with Mycobacterium bovis culture filtrate proteins (CFP), prepared in a variety of adjuvants (aluminum hydroxide, Quil-A, and dimethyldioctyldecyl ammonium bromide [DDA]), provided significant protection against an aerosol challenge of virulent M. bovis. Additionally, vaccination with CFP in DDA or Quil-A did not sensitize mice to M. bovis purified protein derivative.
متن کاملVaccination of neonatal calves with Mycobacterium bovis BCG induces protection against intranasal challenge with virulent M. bovis.
Vaccination of neonates with Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) may be a strategy that overcomes reduced vaccine efficacy associated with exposure to environmental mycobacteria in humans and cattle. Preliminary comparisons indicated that 2-week-old calves produced an immune response to vaccination at least as intense as that observed in adults. Subsequently, five gnotobiotic hys...
متن کاملVaccination of animals against Mycobacterium bovis.
Vaccination could potentially be used as a practical means of controlling bovine tuberculosis in countries in which a wildlife reservoir of the disease is present, and also in those countries which cannot afford conventional control strategies. An understanding of the processes involved in the protective immune response to tuberculosis is desirable for the rational development and testing of ne...
متن کاملRepertoires of antibodies to culture filtrate antigens in different mouse strains infected with Mycobacterium bovis BCG.
Two susceptible (Bcgs) mouse strains, BALB/c and C57BL/6, were compared by Western blot (immunoblot) analysis for their immunoglobulin G response to 14-day-old BCG culture filtrate (CF) following intravenous infection with live Mycobacterium bovis BCG. The two strains demonstrated a completely different antibody repertoire. BALB/c antibodies were directed against a wide range of CF antigens bet...
متن کاملVaccination with an Attenuated Ferritin Mutant Protects Mice against Virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis the causative agent of tuberculosis affects millions of people worldwide. New tools for treatment and prevention of tuberculosis are urgently needed. We previously showed that a ferritin (bfrB) mutant of M. tuberculosis has altered iron homeostasis and increased sensitivity to antibiotics and to microbicidal effectors produced by activated macrophages. Most importantl...
