Antigen-reactivity pattern of T-cell hybridomas from Mycobacterium bovis BCG-infected mice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lymph node cells from mice infected with live Mycobacterium bovis BCG were fused with BW5147 cells after short-term culturing in vitro. Both mycobacterium- and self-reactive T-cell hybridomas were identified. Some T-cell hybridoma clones displayed dual reactivity to self and to self plus mycobacterial antigen but did so to a different degree, indicating that infection with mycobacteria stimulates autoreactive immune responses.

Isolation, Molecular Identification And Genomic Pattern of Mycobacterium Bovis Isolates Collected From Tuberculin-Positive Cattle in Infected Farms of Shiraz
Background: Mycobacterium bovis is the main cause of tuberculosis in cattle. At the global scale and also in Iran, the most frequent currently-in-use method in the detection of infected cattle is tuberculination. Objective: The present study was aimed to improve our genomic knowledge of Mycobacterium bovis population structure in cattle farms of Shiraz. Materials and Methods: Fifty pathologic...
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 کاملPreexisting inflammation due to Mycobacterium bovis BCG infection differentially modulates T-cell priming against a replicating or nonreplicating immunogen.
Induction of T-cell memory by vaccination ensures long-term protection against pathogens. We determined whether on-going inflammatory responses during vaccination influenced T-cell priming. A preexposure of mice to Mycobacterium bovis BCG impaired their subsequent ability to prime T cells against Listeria monocytogenes. This was characterized by a decrease in L. monocytogenes-specific gamma int...
متن کاملSecretion of functional monocyte chemotactic protein 3 by recombinant Mycobacterium bovis BCG attenuates vaccine virulence and maintains protective efficacy against M. tuberculosis infection.
A strain of Mycobacterium bovis BCG that secretes high levels of functional murine monocyte chemotactic protein 3 (BCG(MCP-3)) was developed. Mice vaccinated with BCG(MCP-3) displayed increased lymphocyte migration in vivo and augmented antigen-specific T-cell responses compared to mice vaccinated with BCG alone. The level of protection afforded by BCG(MCP-3) was equivalent to that with control...
متن کاملExosomes Derived from M. Bovis BCG Infected Macrophages Activate Antigen-Specific CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells In Vitro and In Vivo
Activation of both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells is required for an effective immune response to an M. tuberculosis infection. However, infected macrophages are poor antigen presenting cells and may be spatially separated from recruited T cells, thus limiting antigen presentation within a granuloma. Our previous studies showed that infected macrophages release from cells small membrane-bound vesicl...
