چکیده

Nude and normal BALB/c mice were primed by intravenous inoculation of purified, infectious foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) type A24, strain Cruzeiro. Frequency estimation of antigen-specific antibody-secreting cells (ASC) and Thy 1+ T cells in the spleens of immunized mice identified that the IgM response was similar for both nude and normal mice, whereas substantial numbers of both IgG ASC and Thy 1+ cells were present in normal mice only. In contrast, nude and normal mouse sera both contained IgG although the nude mouse serum was deficient in IgG1. Antigen-specific antibody could not be induced in spleen cell cultures from C57BL/6 mice after depletion of T cells with monoclonal antibody plus complement. However, the antibody response could be reconstituted if either a source of exogenous lymphokines or T cells from primed but not unprimed mice were added. Similarly, polyclonal stimulation or unprimed T cells could restore the in vitro response and thus complemented the finding of a low frequency of helper T cells in unprimed mice. Taken together, these data identify that the induction of IgG in FMDV-immunized mice is T cell-dependent and regulated by lymphokines. Furthermore, in nude mice a site other than the spleen must be responsible for the synthesis of the observed serum IgG.

Development of an Indirect Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay to Detect Antibodies against Serotype A2013 of Foot and Mouth Disease Virus in Cattle

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a contagious animal disease that causes irreparable damage to the economy of countries, including Iran in which this disease is a native one. Among the ways to combat FMD are vaccination and slaughter. Due to the specific situation of Iran, it is not possible to kill infected animals. Therefore, vaccination is the most important way to fight this disease. S...

Induction of antibody to foot-and-mouth disease virus in presensitized mouse spleen cell cultures.

Cultures of spleen cells from immunized mice were stimulated in vitro by soluble preparations of purified foot-and-mouth disease virus. Virus-specific antibody, as detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, was produced by immune spleen cells but not by normal, nonimmune cells. The optimal specific response was obtained with 1 microgram of virus per ml of culture; as the virus concentrat...
