Partially Induced Protection by a Fraction of Leishmania Major Promastigotes Against Murine Leishmaniasis
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Partially purified antigenic fractions of Leishmania major promastigotes were obtained by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS-PAGE) and electro-elution. Three isolated protein fractions designated as fractions (Fr.) 1, 2, and 3 correspond to 40-60, 60-80, 80-100 kilodalton (kDa) respectively. They were used for immunization of BALB/c mice against Leishmaniasis. The effects of these fractions on immune response of BALB/c mice against leishmanial infections was investigated by studying the infection course in infected mice, delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin test, lymphocyte proliferation assay (LTT) in them. Subcutaneous immunization of mice with fraction 2 in conjugation with Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) developed partial immunity against Leishmania major infection, and induced specific DTH response. Meanwhile this fraction exhibited no exacerbating effect on leishmanial infection course. Subcutaneous immunization with fraction 1 also induced partial protection in lesser extent than fraction 2 against leishmanial infection.

متن کاملAntileishmanial Activity of Liposomal Clarithromycin against Leishmania Major Promastigotes
Objective(s)Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a common parasitic disease which is endemic in some parts of the world. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown azithromycin efficacy on some Leishmania species. Because of structural similarity between clarithromycin and azithromycin and efficacy of clarithromycin against intracellular organisms and due to the absence of previous studies in this respect, ...
