Streptolysin inhibitory factor in pollen.
نویسنده
چکیده
The starting material used for the isolation of a factor which inhibits the hemolytic activity of streptolysin-O is a wateracetone fraction (manufacturer’s name: Cernitin spissum) of a standardized pollen mixture obtained from six plant species: Zea maize, Pinus montana, Secale cereal, Phleum pratense, Alnus glutinosa, and Dactilus glomerata. The mixture is produced for commercial purposes by AB Cernelle, Ängelholm, Sweden. The inhibition of streptolysin-O by treatment with the Streptolysin Inhibitory Factor (SIF) in vitro, and the chemical and physio-chemical properties of the inhibiting factor have been studied.

A New Acute Phase Protein Elicited in Mice by Streptolysin O and Other Toxic or Infectious Agents
A new acute phase plasma component has been found in mice exposed to certain toxic materials and pathogenic bacteria. The abnormal component, detected by immunodiffusion employing absorbed antiserum, was chiefly studied in plasma of streptolysin O-treated mice where it appears within 24 hours after intravenous administration of a sublethal dose of the toxin. The new factor is a protein having t...
متن کاملHyperreactivity of lymphocytes to streptolysin O and lack of plasma inhibitory factor (s) in patients with mucocutaneous lymphnode syndrome.
Lymphocyte activation by streptolysin O (SLO) and factors in the plasma which inhibit the response to SLO were examined in 19 patients with mucocutaneous lymphnode syndrome (MCLS), 54 age-matched (6 months-6 years) normal children, 41 normal children older than 6 years and 10 normal adults. In normal children younger than 6 years, the response to SLO was weak and in many cases no response was s...

Pollen is a clinically important airborne allergen and one of the major causes of allergic conjunctivitis. A subpopulation of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) are also known to have exacerbated skin eruptions on the face, especially around the eyelids, after contact with pollen. This pollen-induced skin reaction is now known as pollen dermatitis. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)...
متن کاملInhibition of streptolysin O by allicin - an active component of garlic.
Streptolysin O (SLO) is a potent cytolytic toxin produced by almost all strains of group A streptococci and is considered an important virulence factor for this organism. In this study we investigated the effect of allicin and aqueous garlic extracts on the haemolytic activity of SLO. All tested materials potentially inhibited the SLO haemolytic activity. Allicin neutralized SLO in a dose- and ...
متن کاملAcute Phase Protein in Mouse Plasma
Bernheimer and Cantoni (1), in 1947, described an unusual "anti toxic" mechanism in mice, characterized by the development of a temporary state of resistance to the lethal effect of streptolysin O within hours of the intravenous administration of sublethal amounts of this toxin. Rowen and Bemheimer (2) subsequently found this induced refractoriness to be associated with an increased capacity of...
