Summary Antibody responses in mice with up to 64 weeks of secondary Echinococcus granulosus hydatidosis were examined by ELISA using hydatid protoscolex antigen (Px), Antigen 5 (Ag5) and Antigen B (AgB), and by immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) using sheep hydatid cyst fluid (SHCF). Anti-Px IgG antibodies, evident from 3–5 days post infection (p.i.), increased steadily until 16 weeks and maintained a high level afterwards. Anti-Ag5 IgG antibodies were negligible up to two weeks, but they showed a small increase around 2–3 weeks which was followed by a big increase around 16 weeks p.i. The high level of anti-Ag5 IgG antibodies persisted to the end of experiment. The level of anti-AgB IgG antibodies remained relatively low throughout infection. Anti-Px IgM antibodies appeared in the early period of infection, but became insignificant as the infection proceeded. Specific IgM antibodies to Ag5 and AgB showed two waves of increase, one between 3 days to 4 weeks p.i. and the other between 16 weeks to 46 weeks p.i. The level of IgA antibodies to Ag5 and AgB was low and only a moderate amount of anti-Px IgA antibodies was detected. Generally, a higher level of serum antibodies are associated with a larger number of mature cysts. Serum samples from 5 of 8 mice harbouring hydatid cysts formed 1–3 bands with SHCF in IEP, including Arc 5, but a precipitation arc with AgB was not observed. Analysis of hydatid cyst fluid from the infected mice (MHCF) in IEP also failed to demonstrate AgB. Despite the high levels of antihydatid antibodies generated in the infected mice, protoscoleces appeared to be unhindered in their growth to mature cysts.  相似文献

Immunoblotting and in vitro oncosphere-killing were used to identify a putative protective molecule in Echinococcus granulosus mature oncospheres. A range of sera from sheep that had been shown to be protected against E. granulosus , and from those that were not, were tested. The sera used were obtained from sheep hyperimmunized with E. granulosus oncospheres, or immunized with oncosphere non-denatured extract, with immature oncosphere extract or with denatured extracts of oncospheres. Results indicated the involvement of native antigens of 23, 25, 30, 34 and 40 kDa in the protective response to E. granulosus infection. The rapid appearance of antibodies to the 23, 25 kDa antigens, their association with early onset of protection and in vitro oncosphere lysis by affinity-purified antibodies obtained from these fractions, indicated that these antigens contained protective epitopes. Final confirmation was provided by immunization of sheep with fractions prepared by preparative SDS/PAGE, and challenge infection. Only the fraction containing the 23 and 25 kDa molecules was able to stimulate protection. Antisera against this pair of molecules should provide a useful probe for screening an E. granulosus oncosphere cDNA library to identify clones expressing protective molecules.  相似文献

To improve serodiagnosis of cystic hydatidosis, immunoblotting studies were performed to look for a highly specific parasite antigen(s). First, commercially available hydatid cyst fluid antigen preparations were characterized by SDS-PAGE and by immunoblotting with sera specific for parasite and host animal proteins. One preparation, designed for use in complement fixation tests, did not appear to be suitable for immunoblotting because of the low concentrations of parasite antigens. Several host proteins, including serum albumin and IgG, were detected in the cyst fluid. Sera from patients with Echinococcus granulosus infections and other parasitic diseases were examined by immunoblotting for antibodies against specific cyst fluid parasite antigens. Several parasite antigens were variably recognized. Only one antigen, a 40 kDa protein, was recognized by all E. granulosus-infected patients. Reactivity against this antigen was also observed in all sera from E. multilocularis, cysticercosis, and schistosomiasis patients as well as in some filariasis cases. Two E. granulosus antigens, molecules of 12.5 and approximately 17 kDa, were only recognized by antibodies from some E. granulosus patients.  相似文献

The 'arc 5' precipitin band, formed when test human serum is reacted against immunoelectophoresed hydatid cyst fluid antigen, has provided a positive diagnosis of Echinococcus granulosus infection. These antibodies to 'arc 5' antigen have now been found in the sera of sheep. They appear 2 weeks after infection with Taenia ovis, after 3 weeks with T. hydatigena and after 16 weeks with E. granulosus. An antigen similar to the 'arc 5' antigen of E. granulosus cyst fluid was also demonstrated in cyst fluid from T. hydatigena, but it would not be positively identified in T. ovis cyst fluid. The presence of 'arc 5' in immunoelectrophoresis tests is not suitable for specific immunodiagnosis of E. granulosus infections in sheep in New Zealand. 'Arc 5' antibodies were only associated with living E. granulosus cysts and were not present if cysts were dead. The location of the cysts in either liver or lungs and the onset of brood capsule production did not influence the presence of 'arc 5' antibodies.  相似文献

The antibody response was followed weekly during 68 weeks in 17 Balb/c mice intraperitoneally (i.p.) infected with 2000 Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces (PSC) and in three mice i.p. immunized with 2000 dead PSC. Antibodies against hydatid cyst fluid (HCFA) and its peptidic (periodate-resistant) and carbohydrate (periodate-sensitive) epitopes were titrated by ELISA. Avidity and the antigen recognition pattern of antibodies were also analysed during infection and immunization by ELISA and immunoblot, respectively.
The antibody response of infected mice showed quantitative and qualitative variations during infection, since both titre as well as recognition of peptide and carbohydrate epitopes in HCFA depended on time post infection. No avidity maturation was evident during the course of infection. Sera from infected mice recognized the 38 kDa subunit of Ag5 but did not react with the 8 kDa subunit of AgB. On the contrary, the antibody response of immunized mice showed only one peak of antibodies that recognized both peptidic and carbohydrate epitopes of HCFA. In addition, sera from these mice recognized mainly 60 and 110 kDa bands. Our results suggest that: a) avidity and antigen recognition patterns of antibodies in mice treated with live PSC are different from those treated with dead PSC; b) antibodies against HCFA glucidic or peptidic epitopes appear at different times post infection.  相似文献

Production of specific serum antibodies following immunization with hydatid cyst fluid antigens was investigated in sheep with Echinococcus granulosus infection and in noninfected controls. Six of 10 infected animals responded to intramuscular injection of antigen by rapid production of antibodies detected in indirect hemagglutination assays. Similar responses did not occur in any of 10 noninfected controls. It is suggested that differences in the rate of response to immunization with cyst fluid antigens between groups of sheep could be exploited in serodiagnosis of E. granulosus infection in sheep. The results also suggest that low levels of antibody found in the serum of sheep infected with E. granulosus are not the result of immunosuppression or immunological tolerance, but are due to sequestration of antigen from the immune system of the host.  相似文献

Total IgG and IgG subclasses recognizing carbohydrate and peptidic epitopes from native and periodate treated partially purified hydatid cyst fluid (ppHCFA) and protoscolex somatic antigens (PSA) were tested by ELISA in hydatid patients sera. Binding of the major cross-reactive antiphosphorylcholine antibodies was inhibited with free reagent. A predominant anticarbohydrate antibody response against ppHCFA and PSA is shown. Although the main contributing IgG subclass to the antipeptide response against both antigens was IgG4, IgG1 also significantly contributed to the anti-PSA peptidic epitopes response. Western blot showed that IgG1 antibodies strongly recognized in ppHCFA a periodate susceptible 38 kDa antigen. The IgG4 antibodies mainly recognized the periodate-resistant 12, 16 and 24 kDa antigens. In addition, IgG2 antibodies recognized three strongly periodate-susceptible broad bands (116, 55 and 24 kDa antigens). PSA-specific IgG1 and IgG4 antibodies showed similar patterns of antigen recognition as well as no significant reduction of reactivity after periodate treatment while the IgG2 antibody recognition was strongly affected by this treatment. Furthermore, IgG2 showed significantly lower avidities than IgG1 and IgG4 antibodies recognizing both antigens. In conclusion, hydatid patients showed an enhanced production of low avidity anticarbohydrate IgG2 as well as high avidity antipeptide IgG4 antibodies.  相似文献

Circulating antigen, specific immune complexes (IgG and IgM) and specific antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgE and IgA) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the sera of hydatid (Echinococcus granulosus) patients from Turkana (Kenya) and the UK. Specific IgG and IgM antibodies predominated in current UK hydatid infections, while all classes of specific antibodies were lower in the Turkana patients. Circulating antigen, detected in 3% polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitated complexes, using peroxidase conjugated hyperimmune human hydatid IgG (Fab) was more specific in ELISA than either antibody or immune complex assays where peroxidase conjugated anti-human IgG was used. Anti-human immunoglobulin ('rheumatoid' factor) was not detected in hydatid sera. Serum antigen, specific IgM immune complexes and specific IgM antibodies were associated with UK cases of current hydatid infection in contrast to patients with previous histories of hydatidosis. In 3 hydatid patients (from UK) levels of circulating antigen and specific IgM immune complexes rapidly declined within 1-4 months after surgical cyst removal. The detection of specific IgG and antigen in PEG precipitated immune complexes from false-negative/low responder Turkana hydatid sera, suggests that antibody 'mopping' by specific antigen may be occurring. After SDS-PAGE/immunoblotting analysis, antigen of mol. wt 67 000, present in hydatid cyst fluid and protoscoleces, was identified as putative circulating antigen in 3% PEG precipitates of sera from albendazole treated hydatid patients.  相似文献

The antibody response was followed during 68 weeks in 17 Balb/c mice intraperitoneally (i.p.) infected with Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces (PSC) and in three mice i.p. immunized with dead PSC. Titres of antibodies recognizing peptidic and glucidic PSC epitopes, as well as their isotypic and avidity profiles were followed by ELISA. In addition, antigen recognition patterns were analysed by immunoblot. The response against carbohydrate epitopes was dominant in infected and immunized mice but stronger in the first group. Infected mice showed similar profiles of specific IgG and IgM with maximum titres from week 38 to 53. Although IgG1 and IgG3 were the predominant antibody subclasses, the ratio of IgG1/IgG3 antibody titres as well as antibody avidity decreased during the experiment, encompassing a decrease in recognition of peptidic epitopes. Immunized mice did not show significant levels of specific IgM and, after week 15, showed IgG titres lower than the infected mice. IgG1 was the predominant IgG subclass during all the experiment with background levels of IgG3. The mean Ab avidity was high and showed no significant changes during immunization. Different patterns of response were thus produced by dead and developing live parasites. Although high avidity IgG1 antibodies were early found in both cases, lower avidity IgG3 antibodies were increasingly produced afterwards only in infected animals. The isotype switch and avidity decrease observed only during infection are consistent with a possible parasitic mechanism to evade host immunity .  相似文献

A panel of 5 IgM and 6 IgG1 monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) was produced against a band, eluted from a reducing SDS-PAGEgel, containing the 38 kDa subunit of antigen 5 (Ag5) from Echinococcus granulosus cyst fluid; seven of the MoAbs were shown subsequently to bind epitopes on Ag5 but none recognizedphosphorylcho-line or periodate-sensitive carbohydrate epitopes. Differences in the fine specificity of the MoAbs were apparent and, upon reduction, heterogeneity in 38 kDa components from hydatid cyst fluids of different intermediate host origin was revealed by peptide fingerprinting and immuno-blotting using the MoAbs. One of the IgGl MoAbs (ED9) was able to distinguish a reduced 38 kDa molecule in cyst fluids from two distinct genotypes–the horse/dog and sheep/dog strains–of E. granulosus and this may have implications for hydatid serology, immunoepidemiology and strain typing. Furthermore, epitopes on this 38 kDa component or on a different molecule with the same or similar Mr are reactive with anti-P1 blood group antigen antibodies and this could result in false-positive reactions where sera from P2 patients with suspected hydatid disease are tested by immunoblot or immunoprecipitation analysis.,  相似文献

目的 探讨细粒棘球蚴(E.g.)囊液粗制抗原和B抗原(EgB)识别绵羊感染E.g.后及诱发过敏性休克期间特异性IgG和IgE抗体的特异性反应,并对抗原特性及分子量进行描述。 方法 制备E.g.囊液粗制抗原及EgB,应用免疫印迹技术检测经剖杀证实感染E.g.并诱发过敏性休克的20只绵羊血清特异性IgG和IgE抗体对两种抗原的抗体反应性,并对抗原特性和分子量进行描述。 结果 特异性IgE抗体与耐热、低分子量的EgB(8、12和16 kDa)抗原未见明显的反应条带,而与E.g.囊液粗制抗原在43 kDa处可见明显的反应条带。IgG抗体与E.g.囊液粗制抗原未见明显的反应条带,但与EgB抗原反应后在31、43和66.2 kDa处可见较为明显的反应条带。 结论 EgB可能不是特异性IgE抗体的特异性抗原,而是IgG抗体的特异性抗原。E.g.粗制囊液抗原中含有特异性IgE抗体的特异性抗原组分,其分子量大于43 kDa,可能是导致棘球蚴病患者过敏性休克的主要致敏原。  相似文献

A study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay using locally prepared antigens for immunodiagnosis of human hydatid disease. A total of 90 cases clinically suspected to be suffering from hydatid disease and 100 controls matched for age and sex were included in the study. Two types of ELISA were performed on detected specific antihydatid antibodies belonging to IgG/IgM/IgA classes and other type detected IgE class of antibodies. Antigen prepared from the human hydatid fluid was found to be unsuitable for diagnosis as it contained host proteins i.e. IgG. Sheep hydatid fluid obtained from the fertile hydatid cyst was used to prepare and standardize the antigen. ELISA test to detect anti hydatid antibodies belonging to either IgG, IgM and or IgA was found to be highly specific (98 per cent) in surgically confirmed hydatid disease and was negative in all the controls. The results of the study indicate that ELISA along with casoni test may provide the best results in diagnosis of hydatid disease.  相似文献

目的探讨左旋咪唑(LMS)对细粒棘球蚴感染鼠的免疫调节作用和对病程转归的影响。方法昆明种小鼠腹腔接种细粒棘球蚴,建立感染动物模型。在感染后2、4、8、12、16、20周,未治疗组和实验组分别给予生理盐水和左旋咪唑(25mg/kg),连续7d,测定各组小鼠脾指数、胸腺指数及囊重,运用流式细胞术(FCM)测定小鼠脾CD4^+和CD8^+T细胞百分率及CD4^+/CD8^+比值的动态变化。另设8只未接种小鼠为健康对照。结果生理盐水组小鼠感染2周时CD4^+、CD8^+T细胞百分率显著高于健康对照组(P〈0.01)),随后CD4^+T细胞的百分率逐渐降低,CD8^+T细胞的百分率逐渐增高,至感染后16周和20周,CD4^+T细胞、CD8^+T细胞的百分率及CD4^+/CD8^+比值与健康对照组比较差异仍具有显著性(P〈0.01)。与生理盐水组小鼠相比,左旋咪唑组小鼠在感染2周时CD4^+、CD8^+T细胞的百分率明显增高,与健康组小鼠相比有统计学意义(P〈0.01);在感染16周和20周时脾指数升高,CD4^+T细胞百分率上升,CD8^+T细胞的百分率下降,CD4^+/CD8^+比值升高,平均囊重下降,与生理盐水组比较差异均有显著性(P〈0.01)。结论左旋咪唑对细粒棘球蚴感染小鼠有免疫调节作用,在感染后期可升高小鼠脾指数,使CD4^+T细胞及CD8^+T细胞比例恢复正常,机体的细胞免疫功能增强,从而减缓细粒棘球蚴的增殖。  相似文献
