A model to predict cell-mediated immune regulatory mechanisms during human infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A key issue for the study of tuberculosis infection (TB) is to understand why individuals infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis experience different clinical outcomes. Elaborating the immune mechanisms that determine whether an infected individual will suffer active TB or latent infection can aid in developing treatment and prevention strategies. To better understand the dynamics of M. tuber...
متن کاملPURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PROTEIN ANTIGENS ISOLATED FROM MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS (H37Rv STRA IN) AND THEIR EFFECTS ON CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNE RESPONSES IN GUINEA PIGS
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv strain) was used in this study. The bacterial cells were disintegrated by sonication. The separation and characterization of the soluble molecules were attempted by various techniques including gel filtration, ion exchange chromatographies and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, using SDS and 2ME. Eight protein molecules with molecular weights ranging from...
متن کاملComplete ablation of tumor necrosis factor decreases the production of IgA, IgG, and IgM in experimental central nervous system tuberculosis
Objective(s): This study aimed to explore the contribution of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the recruitment of B-cell and secretion of immunoglobulins (Igs) during cerebral tuberculosis (TB).Materials and Methods: In this work, the contributing role of TNF in regulating Ig secretions was investigated by comparing wild type TNF (TNFf/f),...
متن کاملIdentification of CD8 T Cell Epitopes Against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Although the effective immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis, Mtb) is primarily due to cell-mediated immunity, the mechanisms by which T cells participate in the control of infection are still not completely understood. The importance of CD8+ T cells in the immune response to tuberculosis has been recognized by many researchers [1]. Experimental evidence from the m...
متن کاملIdentification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis CTL Epitopes Restricted by HLA-A*0201 in HHD Mice
CD8+ T cells are thought to play an important role in protective immunity to tuberculosis. The major histocompatibility complex class I subtype HLA-A*0201 is one of the most prevalent class I alleles, with a frequency of over 30% in most populations. HLA-A*0201 transgenic, H-2Db/mouse beta2-microglobulin double-knockout mice (HHD) which express human HLA-A*0201 but no mouse class I, was shown t...
