چکیده

Brucella abortus and polyacrylic acid, two agents whose interferon-inducing capacity in the mouse has been well established, failed to stimulate circulating interferon production in rabbits, yet protected rabbits against local vaccinia virus infection.

Interferon Induction and Resistance to Virus Infection in Mice Infected with Brucella abortus.

Induction of circulating interferon and protection against vaccinia virus infection in mice by injection of Brucella abortus were studied. It was demonstrated that morphologically intact brucellae (either live or killed by heat or exposure to NaOH) induce high and prolonged levels of circulating interferon in mice. In each instance, the inducing principle remained associated with the bacterial ...

Antiviral activity of an ether-extracted nonviable preparation of Brucella abortus.

Extraction of living Brucella abortus (strain 456) with aqueous ether yielded a nonviable, insoluble residue (Bru-Pel). When injected into mice, Bru-Pel was an effective, nontoxic interferon stimulus. Mice pretreated with Bru-Pel were protected against challenge with otherwise lethal doses of Semliki Forest virus. Significant protection was afforded when Bru-Pel was given as many as 7 days befo...

Immunogencity of HSA-L7/L12 (Brucella abortus Ribosomal Protein) in an Animal Model

Background: The immunogenic Brucella abortus ribosomal protein L7/L12 is a promising candidate antigen for the development of subunit vaccines against brucellosis. Objective: This study was aimed to evaluate the protection of recombinant Human Serum Albumin (HAS)-L7/L12 fusion protein in Balb/c mice. Methods: The amplified L7/L12 gene was cloned in pYHSA5 vector, pYHSA5-L7/L12 construct was tra...

Protection of BALB/c mice against pathogenic Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis by vaccination with recombinant Omp16

Objective(s): Prevention of the globally spread zoonotic infection, brucellosis which affects an extensive range of hosts is still challenging researchers. There are no approved vaccines for the prevention of human disease and those used for animal brucellosis have adverse properties, which limit their application. We investigated the immunological and protective effec...

Immunization of Mice with Recombinant Protein CobB or AsnC Confers Protection against Brucella abortus Infection

Due to drawbacks of live attenuated vaccines, much more attention has been focused on screening of Brucella protective antigens as subunit vaccine candidates. Brucella is a facultative intracellular bacterium and cell mediated immunity plays essential roles for protection against Brucella infection. Identification of Brucella antigens that present T-cell epitopes to the host could enable develo...
