چکیده

The role of Vi antigen in human immunity against typhoid fever has been debated for decades. Circumstantial evidence indicates that Vi antigen may play a role in pathogenicity and immunity. A Vi preparation was isolated from Salmonella typhosa, the causative organism in human typhoid fever, by a mild precipitation method. It was significantly more potent in animal studies than preparations from Citrobacter used in the past for human study and less toxic than conventional typhoid vaccines. With this antigen, the role of Vi antigen in human protection is now being investigated.

Vi antigen from Salmonella typhosa and immunity against typhoid fever. 11. Safety and antigenicity in humans.

Safety and antigenicity of a purified preparation of Salmonella typhosa Vi antigen was evaluated in human volunteers. Dosages of Vi antigen at 25, 50, and 100 mug were less toxic than U.S. standard typhoid vaccine (lot 6A) containing 5 X 10(8) bacteria per dosage. Vi antigen in comparison with the standard typhoid vaccine induced higher hemagglutinating antibody but lower bactericidal antibody ...

Assay of typhoid vaccines with Salmonella typhosa-Salmonella typhimurium hybrids.

Salmonella typhimurium hybrids expressing the S. typhosa antigens 9, d, and Vi were constructed by genetic crosses with an S. typhosa Hfr donor. The hybrids retained the same degree of mouse virulence as their S. typhimurium parent strain, the minimum lethal dose being less than 50 organisms when tested either in C(57) black mice or Swiss white mice. Vaccination of the Swiss white mice with S. ...

Role of typhoid antigens in protection and pathogenicity for mice.

Swiss white mice immunized with acetone-killed vaccines prepared from strains of Salmonella typhosa, S. typhimurium, and mouse-virulent S. typhimurium hybrids which had acquired, by conjugal genetic transfer, the S. typhosa antigens 9, Vi, and d were challenged with the S. typhimurium hybrids and with the S. typhimurium parent strain. The results of these experiments suggested that the Salmonel...

Y of Strains Derived from Salmonella Typhosa 58 ( Panama Carrier

Since the early days of immunology, it has been considered that high viru-lence and recency of isolation from pathological material were essential attributes of strains of bacteria to be used in production of superior immunizing agents. In spite of a surprising paucity of supporting factual information this concept has pesisted. Perhaps in no field of investigative immunology has the theory of ...
