Antileishmanial immune response is shown to be host genotype dependent so that some inbred strains of mouse are susceptible while others are resistant. The resistance is conferred by T-helper type-1 (Th1) cells while the susceptibility is conferred by Th2 cells. Th1 cells secrete IL-2 and IFN-gamma but Th2 cells secrete IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10. It has been shown that IFN-gamma activates macrophage...
متن کاملAdjuvant Effect of Leishmania major Promastigotes on the Immune Response of Mice to Ovalbumin
The immune responses of mice immunized with ovalbumin (OVA) together with killed L. major (KLM) promastigotes as adjuvant were studied. Three doses (5 × 107, 1 × 108 and 2 × 108) of KLM combined with OVA (100 mg) were injected into the groups of C57BL/6 mice. BCG and complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) were used as control adjuvants. Lymphocyte proliferation and antibody titers were determined, an...
متن کاملCationic Immune Stimulating Complexes Containing Soluble Leishmania Antigens: Preparation, Characterization and in Vivo Immune Response Evaluation
Background: Cationic immune stimulating complexes (PLUSCOMs) are particulate antigen delivery systems. PLUSCOMs consist of cationic immunostimulatory complexes (ISCOMs) derivatives and are able to elicit in vivo T cell responses against an antigen. Objective: To evaluate the effects of PLUSCOMs containing Leishmaniamajor antigens (SLA) on the type of immune response generated in the murine mod...
