Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) represents one of the most important mediators of inflammation and host responses to infection. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of human tuberculosis, induces IL-1beta secretion at the site of infection, but the underlying mechanism(s) are poorly understood. In this work we show that Mtb infection of macrophages stimulates caspase-1 activity an...
Intradermal test (IDT) was used as an official diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis (bTB), mainly caused by Mycobacterium bovis. Test-and-slaughter policy was implemented by many countries for control of bTB due to human health as well as, the health of cattle. Purified protein derivative (PPD) was used as IDT diagnostics, which is the native protein complex from culture supernatant of M. bovis. Ho...
DURATION OF IMMUNE RESPONSE INDUCED BY THE VACCINE BASED ON RECOMBINANT Ag85, TB10 AND FliC PROTEINS
PURPOSE In the present study booster efficacies of Ag85 B, Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), and Ag85B peptides were evaluated using prime boost regimes in BALB/c mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice were primed with BCG vaccine and subsequently boosted with Ag85B, BCG and cocktail of Ag85B peptides. RESULTS Based on analysis of immune response it was observed mice boosted with Ag85B peptides sho...
The Ag85 family enzymes are responsible for the synthesis of cell wall components in mycobacterial species. Inhibitors to these enzymes are potential antimycobacterial agents. We have carried out the docking of phoshonate and trehalose analog inhibitors into the three dimensional structure of mycolyltransferase enzyme, Ag85C of M. tuberculosis using the GOLD software. The inhibitor binding posi...
This report describes the kinetics of T-cell responses to a panel of mycobacterial antigens (PPD-M, PPD-A, ESAT-6, Ag85, 38kD, MPB64, MPB70, MPB83, hsp16.1, hsp65, and hsp70) following experimental infection of cattle with Mycobacterium bovis. Increased antigen-specific lymphocyte proliferation, gamma interferon, and interleukin-2 responses were observed in all calves following infection. Posit...
The detection of tuberculosis currently relies upon insensitive and unspecific techniques; newer diagnostics would ideally co-opt specific bacterial processes to provide real-time readouts. The trehalose mycolyltransesterase enzymes (antigens 85A, 85B and 85C (Ag85A, Ag85B, Ag85C)) serve as essential mediators of cell envelope function and biogenesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Through the c...
The use of DNA constructs encoding mycobacterial proteins is a promising new approach to vaccination against tuberculosis. A DNA vaccine encoding the hsp60 molecule of Mycobacterium leprae has previously been shown to protect against intravenous infection of mice with Mycobacterium tuberculosis in both the prophylactic and immunotherapeutic modes. It is shown here, however, that this vaccine wa...
The sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, completed in 1998, facilitated both the development of genomic tools, and the creation of a number of mycobacterial mutants. These mutants have a wide range of phenotypes, from attenuated to hypervirulent strains. These phenotypes must be confirmed, to rule out possible secondary mutations that may arise during the generation of mutant strains. This m...
