Heat Labile Opsonins to Pneumococcus
Heat labile opsonins (HLO) in normal rat serum to both encapsulated and unencapsulated pneumococci (a) have the same heat lability as complement (C); (b) are active at 37 degrees C but not at 0 degrees C; (c) are inactivated proportionately to hemolytic C by the addition of immune aggregates to the serum; (d) are adsorbed from serum nonspecifically by bacteria at 37 degrees C but not at 0 degre...
متن کاملSerum Heat-Labile Opsonins
a study of the serum heat-labile opsonic capacity (HLOC) in such patients was undertaken. With leukocytes from normal donors, the sera of 12 of 30 patients with active SLE demonstrated decreased HLOC for E. coli 075. The phagocytic activity was partially restored by normal serum, suggesting that decreased HLOC was responsible for the defective phagocytosis. While 8 of 10 patients with active SL...
متن کاملNatural immunity to bacterial infections: the relation of complement to heat-labile opsonins.
Heat-labile opsonins to pneumococci in normal mammalian sera, unlike antibodies, fail to interact with the bacteria at 0 degrees C and require Ca(++) and/or Mg(++). They are readily removed from serum by antigen-antibody complexes that fix complement (C) and are inhibited by reagents that inactivate various C components. The principal heat-labile opsonin to pneumococci is activated C3 (C3(b)), ...

I t seems not improbable that the filling in of some of the many gaps in our knowledge of the mechanism of recovery from bacterial disease and acquired immunity may depend primarily upon a clearer understanding of the processes by which the naturally resistant animal defends itself against pathogenic microorganisms. Information conceming the nature of these processes is as yet largely general i...
