Strain-dependent variation in Mycobacterium bovis BCG-induced human T-cell activation and gamma interferon production in vitro.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three commonly used Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccine strains elicited different magnitudes of T-cell activation and gamma interferon production in vitro in healthy BCG-vaccinated individuals. Glaxo 1077 exhibited the greatest stimulatory capacity, followed by Pasteur 1173 and then Danish 1331. These differences may affect in vitro stimulation and vaccination-induced immunogenicity.

Overexpression of Interleukin-15 increases susceptibility to lipopolysaccharide-induced liver injury in mice primed with Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin.
Mice primed with Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) are highly sensitive to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced liver injury and lethality. We found that interleukin-15 (IL-15) transgenic (Tg) mice primed with BCG were more susceptible to LPS-induced liver injury than non-Tg mice. The numbers of CD44+ CD8+ T cells expressing intracellular gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) significantly ...
متن کاملExpression Pattern of Interferon-γ in Human Leukemic T Cell Lines Following Treatment with Phytoheamagglutinin, phorbol myristate acetate and Lipopolysaccharide
Background: As a T helper type 1 (Th1) derived cytokine, Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is an important regulator of inflammatory immune responses. Furthermore, IFN-γ plays an essential role in defense against tumors and intracellular pathogens. This study was designed to assess the pattern of IFN-γ production in human leukemic (Jurkat and Molt-4) T cell lines in vitro. Methods: Ju...
متن کاملMycobacterium bovis BCG-infected mice are more susceptible to staphylococcal enterotoxin B-mediated toxic shock than uninfected mice despite reduced in vitro splenocyte responses to superantigens.
Type 1 T-cell responses against intracellular pathogens play a crucial role in mediating protection. We examined whether the induction of a strong type 1 T-cell response during a chronic bacterial infection influences responses to superantigens capable of inducing acute shock. Intravenous infection of mice with Mycobacterium bovis BCG appeared to induce a progressive anergy towards staphylococc...
متن کاملEarly interleukin 12 production by macrophages in response to mycobacterial infection depends on interferon gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha
Interleukin 12 (IL-12) produced by macrophages immediately after infection is considered essential for activation of a protective immune response against intracellular pathogens. In the murine Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) model we assessed whether early IL-12 production by macrophages depends on other cytokines. In vitro, murine bone marrow-derived macrophages produced IL-...
متن کاملClearance of infection with Mycobacterium bovis BCG in mice is enhanced by treatment with S28463 (R-848), and its efficiency depends on expression of wild-type Nramp1 (resistance allele).
The mouse bcg host resistance gene is known to control the activation of host macrophages for killing of intracellular parasites like Leishmania donovani as well as intracellular bacteria, including Mycobacterium bovis BCG and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. The Nramp1 gene has been mapped to this locus and affects the efficiency of macrophage activation. It has been shown that imidazo...
