Protective immunity to malaria: studies with cloned lines of rodent malaria in CBA/Ca mice. IV. The specificity of mechanisms resulting in crisis and resolution of the primary acute phase parasitaemia of. Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi and P. yoelii yoelii

Low numbers of parasites from cloned lines of the rodent malaria parasites, Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AS and P. yoelii yoelii A, injected into CBA/Ca mice produce acute but usually self-limiting infections. During crisis, i.e. 1-2 days after peak parasitaemia, 'pre-immune' mice experiencing such 'background' infections were reinfected intravenously with homologous parasites or parasites of heterologous strains or species. P. c. chabaudi AS pre-immune mice controlled an AS challenge with essentially the same kinetics as the background infection. Reinfection of AS pre-immune mice with the heterologous (CB and IP-PCI) P. c. chabaudi strains or P. chabaudi adami DS had little effect on the initial growth of these parasites, although eventually the parasitaemia was controlled. In contrast, a partial inhibitory effect on the growth of P. vinckei lentum DS was evident. Challenge with the non-lethal (A) or lethal (YM) variants of P. y. yoelii resulted in an increase in both the growth and virulence of these parasites. P. y. yoelii A pre-immune mice controlled a homologous challenge, but were less effective at controlling the YM variant. In addition, they were unable to clear rapidly a P. c. chabaudi AS or P. v. lentum DS challenge. Both the multiplication and virulence of P. berghei ANKA were enhanced. These findings demonstrate that resolution of the primary acute parasitaemia in P. c. chabaudi AS- and P. y. yoelii A-infected mice is predominantly mediated by species- and strain-specific mechanisms.

Passively transferable protection against Schistosoma japonicum induced in the mouse by multiple vaccination with attenuated larvae: the development of immunity, antibody isotype responses and antigen recognition

Vaccination of mice with attenuated S. japonicum cercariae induces protection against secondary infection which can be transferred to naive mice with serum (VMS). The presence of antibody does not per se impart protection as serum from mice carrying non-attenuated infections (CIS), contains high levels of specific antibody, but confers no protection. Here we describe the increased protection transferred (20 to 68%) with increased number of vaccinations (one to five) given to the donors, and its decline with time after the final vaccination. We also describe the development of IgM, IgA, IgE, total IgG and IgG subclass responses in VMS, giving different levels of protection and CIS, directed against sodium periodate-sensitive and -resistant epitopes in ‘skin-stage’, ‘lung-stage’and ‘liver-stage’schistosomula, adult worms and eggs. In addition, antibody affinity maturation, development of S. japonicum species-specific responses, and vaccination-specific responses were examined. No response developed in parallel with serum-mediated immunity, suggesting immunity may be due to responses against individual antigens. Preliminary examination of antigens recognized in Western blot showed that two schistosomal membrane antigens, of 13 and 40 kDa, were recognized by VMS from mice vaccinated five times (68% protection), but not by twice vaccinated VMS (27% protection). Neither antigen was recognized by non-protective CIS.     

中老年人膳食和体液免疫水平的调查

作者调查了１６１例（男：９８，女：６３）中老年人的营养素摄入量、血浆蛋白及体液免疫水平。结果：该人群的大部分人热能的摄入量达ＲＤＡ值；膳食蛋白质、维生素Ａ、Ｂ２、Ｃ、锌和铁的摄入量较低；脂肪摄入量按热能比高于３０％者约占３０％；血浆总蛋白、球蛋白水平较低，尤其是女性；免疫球蛋白ＩｇＡ偏低，ＩｇＧ和ＩｇＭ偏高。     

维生素E对烧伤小鼠免疫功能改善及其机制

本实验研究了维生素Ｅ（ＶＥ）改善烧伤后免疫功能的作用，并对其作用机制进行了探讨。结果显示，小鼠１１％～１２％总体表面积（ＴＢＳＡ）全层皮肤烧伤后血、肝、脾中过氧化脂质（ＬＰＯ）水平升高、谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＨ）含量下降，淋巴细胞增殖反应、白介素一２（ＩＬ一２）生成、空斑形成细胞（ＩＪＦＣ）形成及迟发型超敏反应（ＤＴＨ）均处于抑制状态。投予ＶＥ后可防止烧伤动物体内ＬＰＯ水平、ＧＳＨ含量明显变化，免疫功能受抑制的程度也明显小于未投予组。以超氧化物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）处理的作用与ＶＥ相同。体外实验显示，过氧化亚油酸可抑制淋巴细胞增殖反应以及ＩＬ一２产生、诱发淋巴细胞脂质过氧化、降低淋巴细胞内ＧＳＨ含量。淋巴细胞上述功能的抑制与ＬＰＯ水平密切相关；加入ＶＥ可抑制过氧化亚油酸对淋巴细胞的上述作用。提示ＶＥ可改善烧伤后免疫功能，其机制可能是通过抗氧化作用而发挥的。     

Research highlights from the literature

Genes influencing the autonomic nervous system continue as a focus of research. Recent publications applied different methods to identify genes influencing autonomic cardiovascular regulation in humans. Two reports relied on a candidate gene approach. Common genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of the tyrosine hydroxylase gene were shown to influence catecholamine synthesis and blood pressure. The same group tested the hypothesis that the GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH1) gene influences catecholamine excretion and cardiovascular regulation. GCH1 affects tyrosine hydroxylase function indirectly. The authors concluded that the GCH1 gene may influence cardiovascular autonomic regulation through changes in nitric oxide production rather than a change in tyrosine hydroxylase activity. The third genetic study used a single nucleotide polymorphism chip to analyze 100,000 genetic polymorphisms scattered throughout the genome in participants of the Framingham study. The authors identified several polymorphisms that may influence QT interval duration, heart rate, and heart rate variability. The respective genes have not been identified with certainty. Another study suggested that catecholamines may be released from phagocytes and regulate pulmonary inflammation through alpha-2 adrenoreceptor activation in an autocrine or paracrine fashion.

Changes in activity of some mechanisms of specific and nonspecific immunity in vitamin B1 deficiency

The effect of thiamine deficiency on the immune response and activity of certain mechanisms of natural immunity was studied in adult rats. Thiamine deficiency was simulated experimentally by a single injection of hydroxythiamine, a vitamin B₁ antagonist. Administration of hydroxythiamine caused a marked decrease in complement activity, phagocytic activity of the peripheral blood leukocytes, bactericidal activity of the serum, and antibody production in response to immunization with sheep's red blood cells. Conversely, lysozyme activity increased. In vitamin B₁ deficiency the intensity of incorporation of [¹⁴C]leucine into liver protein synthesis was reduced.Department of Pathological Physiology, N. I.

Qualitative difference between the cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses to melanocyte antigens in melanoma and vitiligo

Vitiligo is a skin disorder characterized by depigmented macules secondary to melanocyte loss. An unusual facet is its relation to melanoma: cytotoxic T lymphocytes directed to melanocyte antigens are found in both conditions and imply a breakdown of tolerance, yet the resulting immune reaction is the opposite. The mechanisms at the basis of these opposite effects are not known. Here, we performed a direct comparison of whole melanocyte-specific T cell populations in the two diseases. We demonstrate that neither precursor frequencies of Melan-A/MART-1-specific T lymphocytes nor their status of activation differ significantly. However, by using a tetramer-based T cell receptor down-regulation assay, we documented a higher affinity of vitiligo T cells. We calculated that the peptide concentration required for 50% of maximal receptor down-regulation differed by 6.5-fold between the two diseases. Moreover, only vitiligo T cells were capable of efficient receptor down-regulation and IFN-gamma production in response to HLA-matched melanoma cells, suggesting that this difference in receptor affinity is physiologically relevant. The differences in receptor affinity and tumor reactivity were confirmed by analyzing Melan-A/MART-1-specific clones established from the two diseases. Our results suggest that the quality, and not the quantity, of the melanocyte-specific cytotoxic responses differs between the two pathologies.
