An immunodominant epitope from mycobacterial 65-kDa heat shock protein protects against pristane-induced arthritis.
Previous studies showed that mice with pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) and those protected from the disease by preimmunization with mycobacterial 65-kDa heat shock protein (hsp65) possess raised immune responses to hsp65. Additionally, T cells from hsp65-protected mice, but not from pristane-injected or normal mice, produced the Th2-associated cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10 in response to sti...
متن کاملCD4+ Th2 cells specific for mycobacterial 65-kilodalton heat shock protein protect against pristane-induced arthritis.
Previous studies showed that mice with pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) and those protected from the disease by preimmunization with mycobacterial 65-kDa heat shock protein (hsp65), possess raised immune responses to hsp65. Thus, a paradox exists whereby T cells from both arthritic and hsp65-protected animals proliferate vigorously in response to the same Ag. Here we demonstrate that T cells fr...
متن کاملActivation of T cells recognizing self 60-kD heat shock protein can protect against experimental arthritis
Lewis rats are susceptible to several forms of experimental arthritis-induced using heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis (adjuvant arthritis, or AA), streptococcal cell walls, collagen type II, and the lipoidal amine CP20961. Prior immunization with the mycobacterial 65-kD heat shock protein (hsp65) was reported to protect against AA, and other athritis models not using M. tuberculosis, via a...
متن کاملProtection against streptococcal cell wall-induced arthritis by pretreatment with the 65-kD mycobacterial heat shock protein
We report that streptococcal cell wall (SCW)-induced arthritis in rats, a T cell-dependent chronic, erosive polyarthritis, can be prevented by pretreatment of the rats with the mycobacterial 65-kD heat shock protein. This 65-kD protein shows extensive amino acid homology with prokaryotic and eukaryotic 65-kD heat shock proteins and is a ubiquitous bacterial common antigen. Both the clinical and...
متن کاملArthritogenic potential of the 65 kDa stress protein--an experimental model.
OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of an intra-articular presentation of stress (heat shock) proteins (hsp) on joint inflammation. METHODS Wistar rats were sensitised with a suspension of heat killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis in oil in the scruff of the neck and challenged intra-articularly with stress protein or M tuberculosis preparations. Inflammation was assessed by joint swelling and, usin...
