Protection of Pasteurella multocida dermonecrotic toxin-challenged rats by toxoid-induced antibody.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two different doses of glutaraldehyde-treated Pasteurella multocida dermonecrotic toxin (PMDT) were used to immunize rats. Rats developed serum IgG antibodies specific for native PMDT, and IgG titers increased with dose and number of toxoid immunizations. Survival rates in both active immunization and passive serum neutralization experiments were dependent on dose of toxoid vaccination and serum levels of anti-PMDT IgG. Vaccination with toxoid prevented weight loss but not leukocytosis and increased complement titers in toxin-challenged rats. Toxoid, itself, induced minimal leukocytosis but no alterations in complement titers or weight gain.

Use of rats to compare atrophic rhinitis vaccines for protection against effects of heat-labile protein toxin produced by Pasteurella multocida serogroup D.
Four bacterin-toxoid and three bacterin commercial vaccines against atrophic rhinitis were tested in rats for their capacity to immunize against the lethal and systemic effects of purified heat-labile protein toxin (D-toxin) produced by Pasteurella multocida serogroup D. Only one bacterin-toxoid vaccine stimulated sufficient immunity to prevent the death of all rats challenged with D-toxin. Non...
متن کاملImmunity induced in rats vaccinated with toxoid prepared from heat-labile toxin produced by Pasteurella multocida serogroup D.
Rats were vaccinated with a toxoid (D-toxoid) prepared from purified heat-labile toxin (D-toxin) produced by Pasteurella multocida serogroup D. Vaccination of rats with D-toxoid prevented death and other effects of D-toxin (hepatic necrosis, development of elevated leukocyte counts, lymphopenia, neutrophilia, and elevated complement titers) that occurred in phosphate buffered saline (PBS)-vacci...
متن کاملExpression of the dermonecrotic toxin by Bordetella bronchiseptica is not necessary for predisposing to infection with toxigenic Pasteurella multocida.
This experiment was designed to determine whether a Bordetella bronchiseptica mutant that does not produce dermonecrotic toxin (DNT) is still capable of predisposing pigs to infection with toxigenic Pasteurella multocida. Three groups of pigs were initially inoculated intranasally with a wild type B. bronchiseptica that produces DNT, an isogenic mutant of B. bronchiseptica that does not produce...

Cytotoxic necrotizing factors from E. coli (CNF1, CNF2) and Yersinia (CNFy)share N-terminal sequence similarity with Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT). This common N-terminal region harbors the receptor-binding and translocation domains that mediate uptake and delivery of the C-terminal catalytic cargo domains into the host cytosol. Subtle variations in the N-terminal ~500 amino acids of CNFs a...

The effects of sub-MICs of certain antibiotics, namely, penicillin G, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, on the cell surface characteristics and the virulences of two toxigenic isolates of Pasteurella multocida representing capsular types A and D were evaluated. Expression of proteins, in particular, outer membrane proteins and iron-regulated proteins, was not affected by exposure...
