Human immunoglobulin G mediates protective immunity and identifies protective antigens against larval Strongyloides stercoralis in mice.
Protective immunity to larval Strongyloides stercoralis in mice has been shown to be dependent on antibody, complement, and granulocytes. The goals of the present study was to determine the following: (1) whether human serum could passively transfer immunity to mice, (2) the mechanism by which the serum mediated killing, and (3) whether the antigens (Ags) recognized by the protective human anti...
متن کاملDetection of serum Candida antigens by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and a latex agglutination test with anti-Candida albicans and anti-Candida krusei antibodies.
Serum samples from 197 patients with and without candidiasis were assayed for Candida albicans mannan and Candida krusei mannan by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a latex agglutination test (LA) and for D-arabinitol by the enzymatic fluorometric method. Of the 43 patients positive for C. albicans mannan (> or = 0.2 ng/ml), 34 were infected with C. albicans and 9 were infected w...
متن کاملCompartmentalization of Bacterial Antigens: Differential Effects on Priming of CD8 T Cells and Protective Immunity
Bacterial pathogens synthesize numerous proteins that are either secreted or localized within bacterial cells. To address the impact of antigen compartmentalization on T cell immunity, we constructed recombinant Listeria monocytogenes that express a model CD8T cell epitope as a secreted or nonsecreted fusion protein. Both forms of the antigen, either secreted into the host cell cytoplasm or ret...
متن کاملCloned alpha and beta C-protein antigens of group B streptococci elicit protective immunity.
Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococci [GBS]) is the leading cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis in the United States. The surface-associated C proteins of GBS play a role in immunity, but their number, size, structure, function, and virulence properties have not been well characterized. A recombinant library of DNA fragments from GBS strain A909 (type Ia/C) was prepared in the plas...
متن کاملProfile and protective role of 61kDa and 47kDa antigens of Edwardsiella tarda in rohu (Labeo rohita)
Edwardsiella tarda is a versatile pathogen that could survive in different environmental conditions and infect economically important fish species. The whole cell antigenic proteins were extracted from E. tarda and assessed via Western blot using anti E. trada rohu and anti E. trada rabbit serum. Two strong reacted proteins with antibodies were recovered viz 61 kDa and 47 kDa from SDS PAGE gels...
