Passive transfer of delayed-type hypersensitivity to cell walls of Staphylococcus aureus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Protracted inflammatory dermal reactions to staphylococcal cell walls were observed in guinea pigs passively sensitized by transfer of peritoneal exudate cells but not by immune serum from guinea pigs actively sensitized with heat-killed cells of Staphylococcus aureus. The experiments verify the hypothesis that the protracted reaction is a cell-mediated immune response which is resolvable from the toxicity of the cell walls.

Staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid inhibits delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions via the platelet-activating factor receptor.
Staphylococcus aureus infections are known triggers for skin inflammation and can modulate immune responses. The present studies used model systems consisting of platelet-activating factor receptor-positive and -negative (PAF-R-positive and -negative) cells and PAF-R-deficient mice to demonstrate that staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a constituent of Gram-positive bacteria cell walls, ac...
متن کاملImmunobiological activity of cell wall antigens of Staphylococcus aureus.
Guinea pigs sensitized with washed, Formalin-killed cells of Staphylococcus aureus, strains 263 or Copenhagen, were skin-tested with various antigens from these strains including washed viable and heat-killed whole cells, cell walls, the peptidoglycan complexes of the walls, teichoic acid, teichoic acid-peptidoglycan fragments, and peptidoglycan fragments. In nonsensitized control animals, all ...
متن کاملStaphylococcidal capability of rabbit peritoneal macrophages in relation to infection and elicitation: delayed-type hypersensitivity without increased resistance.
The staphylococcidal capability of populations of peritoneal macrophages in rabbits has been measured before and after repeated infections with Staphylococcus aureus. Such rabbits after infection showed delayed-type hypersensitivity to S. aureus antigens, but the staphylococcidal capability of the peritoneal macrophages was not increased. This result at the cellular level is in agreement with p...
متن کاملOral tolerance for delayed type hypersensitivity contribution of local and peripheral mechanisms
Oral tolerance is a physiological immune mechanism, which controls the outcome of deleterious hypersensitivity reactions to environmental antigens absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, and maintains homeostasis. Using a mouse model of oral tolerance of delayed type hypersensitivity to contact allergens, i.e. haptens, we have examined the mechanisms involved in the induction of oral toler...
متن کاملStudies on the Interactions between Components of Staphylococcus Aureus and Staphylococcus Bacteriophage
The cell walls of Staphylococcus aureus are capable of inactivating S. aureus bacteriophage. Furthermore, the cell walls isolated from S. aureus of a given phage type inactivate a variety of different staphylococcal bacteriophages. Under the conditions employed neither the isolated mucopeptide nor teichoic acid components of the cell walls act as bacteriophage receptor.
