Effect of Prior Immunization with Attenuated Mycobacterium bovis (BCG) Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Angora, New Zealand, and Dutch-belted rabbits were tested for their susceptibility to graded doses of Herpesvirus hominis type 2 administered by vaginal instillation, intracorneal injection, and scarification of the cornea. Central nervous system involvement and death occurred after infection by the various routes employed. Prior immunization of Dutch-belted and New Zealand rabbits with viable Mycobacterium bovis (BCG) cells injected intravenously provided protection against subsequent infections with type 2 virus.

متن کاملLymphocyte recruitment and protective efficacy against pulmonary mycobacterial infection are independent of the route of prior Mycobacterium bovis BCG immunization.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects humans through the lung, and immunity to this chronic infection is mediated primarily by CD4(+) T lymphocytes. Recently we have demonstrated that the recruitment of lymphocytes to the lung during primary aerosol M. tuberculosis infection in mice occurs predominantly through the interaction of alpha(4)beta(1) integrin on CD4(+) T cells and vascular cell adhesio...
متن کاملBCG Vaccine-Beginning of its End
In TB, prophylactic immunization plays a key preventive strategy. A live attenuated vaccine called bacille CalmetteGuérin (BCG) was developed way back in 1906 by Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin. The BCG vaccine was derived from an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis and first used on humans in 1921 in France [2]. Currently the vaccine is given to neonates and children as a part of unive...
متن کاملEffect of Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccination on Mycobacterium-specific cellular proliferation and tumor necrosis factor alpha production from distinct guinea pig leukocyte populations.
In this study, we focused on three leukocyte-rich guinea pig cell populations, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells, resident peritoneal cells (PC), and splenocytes (SPC). BAL cells, SPC, and PC were stimulated either with live attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra or with live or heat-killed virulent M. tuberculosis H37Rv (multiplicity of infection of 1:100). Each cell population was deter...
متن کاملPriming by DNA immunization augments protective efficacy of Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette-Guerin against tuberculosis.
Sequential immunization with mycobacterial antigen Ag85B-expressing DNA and Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) was more effective than BCG immunization in protecting against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Depletion of the CD8(+) T cells in the immunized mice impaired protection in their spleens, indicating that this improved efficacy was partially mediated by CD8(+) T cells.
