Previous contact with Strongyloides venezuelensis contributed to prevent insulitis in MLD-STZ diabetes.
Epidemiological and experimental studies support the idea that helminth infections can induce a protective effect against the development of autoimmune and allergic diseases. In this study we characterized the immune response induced by Strongyloides venezuelensis infection in C57BL/6 mice and then evaluated the effect of a previous contact with this helminth in the outcome of type 1 diabetes. ...
متن کاملDNA vaccine containing the mycobacterial hsp65 gene prevented insulitis in MLD-STZ diabetes
BACKGROUND Our group previously demonstrated that a DNA plasmid encoding the mycobacterial 65-kDa heat shock protein (DNA-HSP65) displayed prophylactic and therapeutic effect in a mice model for tuberculosis. This protection was attributed to induction of a strong cellular immunity against HSP65. As specific immunity to HSP60 family has been detected in arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diabete...
متن کاملStrongyloides ratti and S. venezuelensis – rodent models of Strongyloides infection
Strongyloides spp. are common parasites of vertebrates and two species, S. ratti and S. venezuelensis, parasitize rats; there are no known species that naturally infect mice. Strongyloides ratti and S. venezuelensis overlap in their geographical range and in these regions co-infections appear to be common. These species have been widely used as tractable laboratory systems in rats as well as mi...
متن کاملEFFECT OF Bifidobacterium animalis ON MICE INFECTED WITH Strongyloides venezuelensis
The administration of viable Bifidobacterium animalis was tested to induce resistance against Strongyloides venezuelensis infection in mice. Effects on parasite burden, worm length, egg output, and intestinal mucosal histology were evaluated. The oral administration of B. animalis, strain 04450B, starting 14 days before the inoculation of nematode larvae significantly decreased the worm burden ...
متن کامل[Evaluation of the humoral immune response to Strongyloides venezuelensis antigens].
Strongyloidiasis affects 30 million people in 70 countries. This enteral parasitosis is usually diagnosed using parasitological tests based on hydrotropism or thermotropism of larvae eliminated in feces, but these tests have been shown to have low sensitivity. In this study, antigenic extracts were tested by means of ELISA, immunoblotting and IFI, using filariform larvae of Strongyloides venezu...
