چکیده

Ribosomal and ribonucleic acid (RNA)-rich preparations derived from Salmonella typhimurium were examined for their ability to enhance the primary in vitro antibody response of normal mouse spleen cell cultures to sheep erythrocytes. Both of these fractions were consistently more active in elevating the antibody response of normal mouse splenocytes from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) responder mice than was LPS. Furthermore, injection of mice with either the ribosomal or RNA-rich fraction induced antibody response helper factor activity in 2-h post-treatment serum similar to that induced by LPS. Endotoxin low-responding C3H/HeJ mice were stimulated to release helper factors by ribosomes and the RNA extracts but not by LPS. Treatment of the ribosomes and RNA fractions with ribonuclease destroyed their ability to stimulate the production of the helper factor in serum of treated mice. Therefore, it appears likely that ribosomes and RNA-rich fractions stimulated an intermediate helper factor due to the presence of RNA and not LPS.

Interleukin-12 is critical for induction of nitric oxide-mediated immunosuppression following vaccination of mice with attenuated Salmonella typhimurium.

Studies from our laboratory have shown that infection of mice with an attenuated strain of Salmonella typhimurium causes a marked suppression in the capacity of splenocytes to generate an in vitro plaque-forming cell (PFC) response to sheep erythrocytes. The suppression has been shown to be mediated by mature, adherent macrophages (Mphis) and nonadherent, precursor Mphis. Nitric oxide has been ...

First enzyme of histidine biosynthesis and repression control of histidyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase of Salmonella typhimurium.

The regulation of formation of histidyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase was examined in strains of Salmonella typhimurium. When the first of the histidine-forming enzymes was wild type, the presence of 2-thiazolealanine in the growth medium prevented repression of histidyl-tRNA synthetase formation elicited by the addition of 1, 2, 4-triazole-3-alanine to these cultures. Conversely,...

Salmonella typhimurium infection in mice induces nitric oxide-mediated immunosuppression through a natural killer cell-dependent pathway.

Splenocytes isolated from C57BL/6J female mice 3 to 7 days after inoculation with an attenuated strain of Salmonella typhimurium produced high levels of nitric oxide (39 to 77 microM) and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma). Additionally, spleen cell cultures from Salmonella-inoculated mice were markedly suppressed in their ability to generate an in vitro plaque-forming cell (PFC) response to sheep er...
