The advantage of mucosal immunization for polysaccharide-specific memory responses in early life

The aim of vaccination is to rapidly elicit protective immunity and generate memory for sustained protection. We studied the induction and persistence of polysaccharide (PS)-specific memory in neonatal and infant mice primed with pneumococcal conjugate (Pnc1-TT) by assessing the response to native pneumococcal PS (PPS-1), the kinetics of the PPS-1-specific IgG response to a second Pnc1-TT dose and affinity maturation. A subcutaneous (s.c.) Pnc1-TT booster induced a rapid increase in PPS-1-specific IgG, indicating efficient priming for memory by a single dose of Pnc1-TT already at 1 week of age. High levels were maintained for >12 weeks. However, a PPS-1 booster induced no response in neonatal or infant mice. The adjuvant LT-K63 significantly enhanced the IgG response and affinity to Pnc1-TT by both the s.c. and the intranasal (i.n.) route in all age groups. In neonatal and infant mice, PPS-1 and LT-K63 induced a booster response only when given i.n. following either s.c. or i.n. priming with Pnc1-TT and LT-K63. In contrast, PPS-1 with or without LT-K63 administered s.c. compromised the ongoing PPS-1-specific response elicited in neonatal mice by either s.c. or i.n. priming with Pnc1-TT and LT-K63. These results demonstrate the advantage of the mucosal route for elicitation of PS-specific memory responses in early life.     

重组卡介苗及猪苓多糖对荷瘤小鼠巨噬细胞NO释放量的影响

目的 观察重组卡介苗（rBCG)和中药猪苓多糖（PPS），对荷瘤小鼠空巨噬细胞释放NO的影响。方法 将黑色素瘤细胞株B16接种于小鼠左大腿外侧皮下，建立荷瘤小鼠模型，分别用rBCG－IL-2,rBCG-IL-2 PPSPPS进行局部治疗。于给药后第1，2，3和5wk处死小鼠，用NO酶法测定小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞释放NO的水平，并观察不同实验组瘤体的变化。结果 rBCG－IL－2组小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞释放NO的水平最高。与对照组相比较，PPS组小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞释放NO的水平在第1wk与第2wk增高，第3wk起与对照组释放的NO水平没有差异。rBCG－IL－2组小鼠随给药时间的延长，皮下瘤体逐渐缩小。PPS组小鼠瘤体在给药后第1wk和第2wk生长缓慢，第3wk起瘤体生长速度明显增加。结论 rBCG－IL－2与PPS能提高小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞释放NO的水平，rBCG－IL－2能明显抑制肿瘤生长。     

Antibodies to pneumococcal polysaccharides in pneumonia and response to pneumococcal vaccination in young children in Papua New Guinea.

Antibodies against pneumococcal polysaccharides were measured by ELISA in Papua New Guinean children with pneumonia aged 0-14 months, in age-matched healthy Papua New Guinean controls and in healthy expatriate children living in Papua New Guinea. At 0-5 months of age, the IgG antibody titres against six of the eight polysaccharides measured were significantly lower in pneumonia patients than in both control groups. Antibody titres in 6-14-month-old Papua New Guinean controls were significantly lower than in control Papua New Guineans aged 0-5 months for five of the eight polysaccharides tested. In the 6-14-months age group the antibody titre was significantly lower in pneumonia patients than in controls for only one polysaccharide. For seven of the eight serotypes tested, antibody levels in expatriate controls did not decline with age. Antibody responses of Papua New Guinean children aged 6-18 months to a 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine were serotype dependent. Fold increases in response to the vaccine were greatest for the IgA isotype. IgG antibody responses were greater than three fold to four of the eight serotypes tested.

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. II. Class and subclass of specific antibody responses in vivo and in vitro

Patients with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) succumb to persistent infections with the opportunistic yeast Candida. Impaired cell-mediated responses to Candida have been repeatedly reported while antibody responses were mostly found to be normal. The underlying defect remains poorly understood. It has recently been shown that CMC patients are also susceptible to infections with encapsulated bacteria, and may have associated IgG2 and IgG4 deficiency. Our previous studies demonstrated altered cytokine production in CMC patients. As cytokines can influence production and isotype of specific antibody, in 10 patients with CMC we measured the levels and isotype distributions of serum antibodies to Candida antigens (CAg), pneumococcal polysaccharide (PPS) and tetanus toxoid (TT) antigens. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were also stimulated in culture and the antibodies made in vitro were measured. Our data demonstrated that in vivo, CMC patients had very high levels of IgG and IgA CAg-specific antibodies. CAg-specific and PPS-specific IgG1 was markedly higher than in controls. Children but not adults with CMC had significantly lower levels of IgG2-specific antibody to CAg and PPS compared with age-matched controls. Patients had significantly higher levels of IgG3-specific antibody to all three antigens tested. These findings were in accordance with increased total IgG and IgG3 levels seen in CMC patients. In vitro, CMC patients, particularly children, did not respond as frequently to antigen stimulation as did their healthy controls. The level of specific antibody produced was also lower to all antigens tested, as was the amount of total immunoglobulins following antigenic and particularly mitogenic stimulation. Addition of interferon-alpha (IFN-α) or IFN-γ to cultures had variable, sometimes marked, effects. Our results demonstrate that CMC patients manifest subtle alterations in specific antibody responses to CAg, PPS and TT, which are most pronounced in children. This may relate to altered cytokine production also seen in these patients.     

罗勒多糖对人树突细胞抗原摄取功能及共刺激分子表达的影响

目的探讨罗勒多糖对人外周血单核细胞来源的树突细胞（dendritic cells，DC）抗原摄取功能以及共刺激分子表达的影响。方法从正常人外周血单核细胞诱导未成熟和成熟的DC，实验组加入罗勒多糖（150μg/ml），对照组加入PBS，分别培养24h，收获未成熟的DC，与OVA—FTTC（100μg/ml）共同孵育，流式细胞仪检测DC的抗原摄取能力。同时收获成熟DC，流式细胞仪检测DC表面共刺激分子CD80、CD86的表达情况。结果与对照组比较，罗勒多糖作用组DC的抗原摄取能力显著提高，同时成熟DC表面共刺激分子CD80、CD86的表达也明显升高。结论罗勒多糖可显著增强DC的抗原摄取能力，并且能够提高细胞表面共刺激分子的表达，这可能是罗勒多糖发挥抗肿瘤免疫的机制之一。

黄芪多糖对糖尿病大鼠微血管病变的作用及机制的研究

目的：探讨黄芪多糖（APS）对糖尿病大鼠微血管病变的影响以及对糖尿病的治疗作用及机制。方法：成年,健康SD大鼠40只,雌雄不限,分成四组：正常对照组,糖尿病组（腹腔注射四氧嘧啶200mg/kg),APS组（造模成功后用APS治疗）,优降糖组（造模成功后用优降糖治疗）。治疗两周时测一次血糖,四周后,测血糖;颈动脉取血测定血清胰素水平,NO和MDA含量。应用形态定量的方法比较各组的心肌病理变化。结果：腹腔注射alloxan(200mg/kg)后的SD大鼠血糖浓度显升高,血清NO,MDA,胰岛素水平明显改变。APS治疗四周后,血糖浓度明显下降,与优降糖治疗组无明显差异,血清NO较未治疗组明显升高（P＜0．01）,血清MDA较未治疗组明显减少（P＜0．01）,血清胰岛素水平升高（P＜0．05）,光镜下观察,糖尿病大鼠的心肌毛细血管数量减少,基底膜增厚,微血管与心肌纤维的比率显减低,这些改变都可被APS改善.结论：APS有降低血糖和保护血管内皮细胞的作用,这可能与APS减轻氧自由基的损伤,影响NO的产生以及促进胰岛B细胞的损伤的恢复有关。
