The serum antibody response was determined to 6 antigen groups (AG's) derived from a saline extract (SE) of Pasteurella haemolytica, serotype 1. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, sera were analyzed from 65 calves that had been previously vaccinated with saline, the unfractionated SE, a bacterin, or live P. haemolytica. The serum antibody responses to the 6 AG's were correlated with resistance to an experimental transthoracic challenge with the organism. The antibody responses to AG's 1, 5, and 6 appeared to be potentially important in resistance to challenge. In the 3 experiments conducted, a significantly higher (p less than 0.05) increase in antibody was seen to AG's 1, 5, and 6 in calves vaccinated with live organisms compared to those vaccinated with the bacterin. A significant correlation (p less than 0.05) was seen between high antibody to AG 1 and resistance to challenge in all 3 experiments. In 2 of the 3 experiments, a significant correlation (p less than 0.05) was seen among high antibody titers to AG's 5 and 6 and resistance, whereas in 1 experiment the correlation was significant (p less than 0.05) between antibody to AG 4 and resistance. A rise in antibody to AG's 2 and 3 was seen only in calves vaccinated with SE. Because AG's 1, 5, and 6 are higher in carbohydrate than the other AG's, this suggests that antibody to polysaccharide antigens may be important to resistance. Other potentially protective antigens of P. haemolytica are discussed. 相似文献

Pasteurella haemolytica antigenic extracts were made, using saline solution, potassium thiocyanate (KSCN), and sodium salicylate (SS) extraction procedures. Of the 3 techniques, saline solution extraction resulted in the lowest protein concentration and lowest ribonucleic acid-to-protein ratio. The extracts varied in protein:carbohydrate ratios, with the KSCN extract being highest and the saline solution extract the lowest. Each extract contained lipopolysaccharide, as determined by detectable quantities of 2-keto, 3-deoxyoctonate. The saline solution extract contained the fewest protein bands by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, but contained the highest molecular weight proteins. All 3 extracts were reasonably similar antigenically, as detected by immunoblotting. Many of the protein bands present in the KSCN or SS extracts did not seem to be antigenic. Each extract was subjected to chromatofocusing, and the greatest antigenic peak, for each extract, failed to bind to the exchanger. These highly antigenic peaks, designated as saline solution, KSCN, or SS antigens, were similarly high in carbohydrate content, had similar antigenic-profiles, and contained high molecular weight (greater than 200,000) antigenic material, most likely carbohydrate in nature, as detected by immunoblotting. Inoculation of mice with 1 of the 3 extracts or the saline solution antigen resulted in marked antibody responses; however, protection against intraperitoneal challenge exposure to P haemolytica was minimal. 相似文献

Membrane associated proteins from 8 untypeable Pasteurella haemolytica strains were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and compared with those of P haemolytica serotypes 1 and 2. Cattle antisera obtained from P haemolytica serotype 1 vaccine trials were used in immunoblotting assays to compare the membrane proteins from the 8 untypeable strains with those from P haemolytica serotypes 1 and 2. Densitometry was used to identify bands, and using linear regression analyses, the peak area optical densities (measuring antibody response) were correlated to lesion scores from the vaccinated calves. Significant antibody responses to proteins of 99, 69, 60, 55, 47, 45, 39, 33, 30, 16, and 14.5 kDa were detected for 4 or more of the 8 P haemolytica untypeable strains. Serotypes 1 and 2 of P haemolytica contained a comigrating 30-kDa protein. Antibody responses to proteins of 39, 33, and 32.5 kDa were significant for 3 of the untypeable strains and had significant correlation to lesion scores. Antibody responses to various other proteins were significant for 2 untypeable strains each. 相似文献

Pasteurella haemolytica: purification of saline-extractable proteins by isoelectrofocusing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A procedure was developed for separating antigens associated with a saline extract of Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1. Seven antigens were identified by immunoelectrophoresis to be associated with the extract. The extract was subjected to preparative isoelectrofocusing in a pH range of 3-10. The majority of extracted proteins were found to have pI's of 4-6, whereas the carbohydrate antigen(s) were distributed over a pI range of 3.0-8.0. The fractions that were of interest were pooled and refocused in a narrower pH range to improve resolution of the protein antigens. Specific antigens from defined pH ranges were pooled to form 6 antigen groups. These antigen groups were examined further by immunoelectrophoresis, analytical isoelectrofocusing, and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weights of the proteins found in the capsular extracts ranged from 33 k to greater than 80 k. Injection of mice with capsular extract or antigen Groups 1-6 in Freund's incomplete adjuvant resulted in a serum antibody response to the various antigens as detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Significant protection (P less than 0.05) against challenge with virulent P. haemolytica was seen in mice injected with antigen Groups 2 and 4. Six calves were immunized with saline extract. These calves had greater resistance to experimental pneumonic pasteurellosis than did 6 non-vaccinated calves. A serum antibody response to the crude extract and to each antigen group was detected in vaccinated calves by an enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. 相似文献

The production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 is described. Ten monoclonal antibodies were produced and divided, on the basis of their properties, into six different groups. One produced bacteria agglutination only of P. haemolytica serotype 1. Three antibodies bound with P. haemolytica serotypes 1, 5-8 and 12 and the antigen was identified in immunoblots as lipopolysaccharide. Two antibodies bound P. haemolytica serotypes 1, 2, 5-8 and 12 and P. multocida serotypes 1-7, 9, 12, 15 and 16, recognizing an epitope present on a 29 kDa outer membrane protein. One antibody bound all P. haemolytica and P. multocida serotypes. The antigen was a hexosamine less than 30 kDa which contained a formalin sensitive epitope. One antibody bound only to P. haemolytica serotype 1 and the antigen was identified as a 66 kDa outer membrane protein. Two antibodies bound P. haemolytica serotypes 1, 2, 5-9 and 12 and the antigen, while not identified, was localized on the outer membrane. This study identified antigens which contribute to the cross-reactions among P. haemolytica and P. multocida serotypes and the antibodies may be useful in investigating the pathogenesis of pneumonic pasteurellosis. 相似文献

Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 (S1) is the bacterium most frequently recovered from the lungs of cattle that have succumbed to shipping fever pneumonia. P. haemolytica outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are important immunogens in the development of resistance to pneumonic pasteurellosis. The purpose of this study was to identify the repertoire of immunogenic, surface-exposed P. haemolytica (S1) OMPs, that could be important in the development of protective immunity. We determined surface exposure of OMPs by (1) their susceptibility to protease treatment and (2) their ability to adsorb out antibodies from bovine immune sera. For a comprehensive identification of immunogenic, surface-exposed OMPs, we used bovine antisera from calves that were resistant to experimental P. haemolytica challenge after (1) natural exposure to P. haemolytica, (2) vaccination with live P. haemolytica, or (3) vaccination with P. haemolytica OMPs. We identified 21 immunogenic, surface-exposed P. haemolytica OMPs. Most were recognized by all three immune sera. However, some were recognized by one or two of the three antisera. Our analyses identified surface-exposed, immunogenic proteins that were not identified in previous studies. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To use antibodies produced by calves in response to infection with Mannheimia haemolytica in immunoaffinity chromatography for the identification and subsequent isolation of the dominant immunogenic antigens from bacteria grown in iron-deficient media. SAMPLE POPULATION: Serum from 10 calves actively infected with M haemolytica. PROCEDURE: An outer membrane protein fraction was obtained from sonicated salt-extracted M haemolytica cells by extraction with N-lauroyl sarcosinate. The immunoglobulin fraction of serum from calves actively infected with M haemolytica was used to prepare an immunoaffinity column. The immunoaffinity column was used to isolate the dominant immunogenic proteins from the outer membrane protein fraction. The resultant immunogenic protein fraction was subjected to ELISA and immunoblot methods as well as carbohydrate quantification. Sequencing of the N-terminal was performed on the most prominent protein. RESULTS: 5 immunogenic proteins with molecular weights of 42, 30, 24, 20, and 15 kd were isolated. The immunogenic protein fraction was found to contain 51% carbohydrate. The immunoaffinity column capacity was 1 microg of immunogenic protein/mL of gel. The N-terminal sequence of the 42-kd protein was Tyr-Gln-Thr-Tyr-Gln-Ser-X-Leu-Gln, where X could not be identified. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: lmmunogenic proteins were isolated by use of immunoaffinity chromatography. A substantial amount of carbohydrates was co-purified in the process. Additional experiments are needed to determine whether the carbohydrates would hinder or enhance development of vaccine preparations. This method could potentially allow a more rapid production of antigens for use in vaccines. 相似文献

The outer membrane protein (OMP), plasmid, and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Pasteurella haemolytica serotypes 1 through 12, a bovine isolate of P multocida, a chicken isolate of P multocida, and an unidentified Pasteurella species of bovine origin were examined. Isolates of P haemolytica serotypes belonging to the same biotype possessed similar OMP profiles. Biotype A isolates contained 2 prominent OMP of 43 kilodaltons (kD) and 29 kD, whereas biotype-T serotypes contained 3 major OMP of 43, 36, and 25 kD. The major OMP profiles of the 2 P multocida isolates and the unidentified Pasteurella species were different from each other and from P haemolytica isolates. Plasmid DNA screening indicated both plasmid-containing and plasmid-free P haemolytica and P multocida isolates. Multiple drug resistance was found in pasteurellae isolates with and without plasmids. However, a relationship between drug resistance and plasmid isolation was found in 3 of 4 haemolytica serotype 1 field isolates, all of which contained a 2.51-megadalton plasmid and had multiple drug resistance for benzylpenicillin, ampicillin, streptomycin, and tetracycline. 相似文献

To determine whether antigenic differences exist in Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 grown in different culture conditions, the bacteria was grown on solid enriched medium, in broth culture, and in tissue chambers subcutaneously implanted in the flanks of calves. The organisms obtained by each culture method were comparable with respect to encapsulation and lipopolysaccharide content. In the bacteria grown in vivo, several unique high molecular-mass (greater than 150 kDa) protein antigens were found by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and protein immunoblotting. Bacteria grown in vitro had higher concentrations of a 49- and a 26-kDa protein than the organisms grown in vivo. The concentration of several major proteins (30, 42, 55, 71, and 100 kDa) were similar among the organisms grown by the three cultural conditions. Although the high molecular-mass antigens were unique for the chamber-grown bacteria, they were recognized by serum from a calf that had been vaccinated with formalin-killed, solid medium-grown P haemolytica and were resistant to challenge exposure with the live organism. This recognition of antigens by serum from the P haemolytica-resistant calf that had been vaccinated with solid-medium-grown bacterium, indicates that the high molecular-mass antigens from chamber-grown P haemolytica may be precursors of or share antigenic determinants with other P haemolytica proteins and may not be important for consideration in vaccine formulation. 相似文献

Efficacy of an outer membrane protein of Pasteurella haemolytica A2, A7 or A9-enriched vaccine against intratracheal challenge exposure in sheep 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The outer membrane proteins (OMP) were extracted from the P. haemolytica A2, A7 and A9 to determine their potential as immunogens and their capability for cross-protection. Sixty lambs of approximately 9 months old were divided into four main groups. Animals in Group 1 were vaccinated with 2ml vaccine containing 100microg/ml of the outer membrane proteins of P. haemolytica A2. Animals in Group 2 were similarly vaccinated with the OMPs of P. haemolytica A7 while Group 3 with OMPs of P. haemolytica A9. Animals in Group 4 were unvaccinated control. During the course of the study, serum was collected to evaluate the antibody levels toward each OMP. There appeared to be good immune responses. However, high antibody levels did not necessarily result in good protection of the animals, particularly against cross-infection with P. haemolytica A9 in animals vaccinated with the OMPs of P. haemolytica A2. It seemed that the antibody responses were more specific toward the homologous challenge but generally did not cross-protect against heterologous serotype challenge. However, the OMPs of P. haemolytica A7 produced good in vivo cross-protection and excellent correlations when good antibody responses against all serotypes led to successful reductions of the extent of lung lesions following homologous and heterologous challenge exposures. Thus, the OMPs of P. haemolytica A7 was effective in protecting animals against homologous and heterologous infection by live P. haemolytica A2, A7 and A9. 相似文献

Equine alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (alpha 1AG) was isolated from equine serum by successive ammonium precipitation, anion- and cation-exchange chromatographies, and gel filtration. Purified equine alpha 1AG had a molecular weight of 46,000 +/- 1,000, and contained 31.4% carbohydrate. Gel isoelectric focusing revealed an isoelectric point range of 2.8 to 3.7. With immunoelectrophoresis, it was found that alpha 1AG migrated to the alpha 1-globulin region. Single radial immunodiffusion was used for quantitative measurement of alpha 1AG in equine serum. In clinically normal foals, serum alpha 1AG was undetectable (less than or equal to 20 micrograms/ml) in less than or equal to 7-day-old foals, but was detected by 14 days. The alpha 1AG concentration (mean +/- SD) increased to reach mean adult values of 99.23 +/- 26.90 micrograms/ml by 1 year of age. The alpha 1AG concentration in pregnant mares decreased at 2 to 3 months before parturition, then gradually increased until 1 day after parturition, when a brief decrease was observed. The concentration increased again at 2 weeks after foaling, then a decrease was observed, after which the alpha 1AG concentration increased again by 2 to 4 months after parturition. The concentration of serum alpha 1AG quickly rose to peak values 2 to 3 days after castration and jejunojejunostomy in adult horses, returning to baseline values by 14 to 28 days after surgery. The alpha 1AG was concluded to be an acute-phase reactive protein in horses. 相似文献

The immunogenicity and cross-protectivity of potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) extracts from Type A Pasteurella multocida strains were evaluated in mice. Mice administered KSCN extracts showed signs of depression for several hours following immunization. These extracts induced protection against challenge with the virulent homologous bacterium although many of the surviving mice were clinically ill up to 72 h after challenge exposure. There was no consistent reciprocal protection between different strains of the serotype indicating lack of correlation between serotype and cross-immunogenicity. Antigenic analysis of KSCN extracts by crossed immunoelectrophoresis techniques revealed ⩾25 different antigenic components. When the antigenic content of P-2383 and P-1062 KSCN extracts were compared, most antigenic components were common to both; however, two strain-specific and antigenic components were identified with homologous and heterologous antisera. One component present in each of the extracts gave a precipitation line similar to that produced by a crude lipopolysaccharide extracted from the organism. This component was isolated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The component isolated from P-2383 KSCN extract sedimented rapidly, indicating a high molecular weight material, and contained 12% carbohydrate and 27% protein. Immunization of mice with this component induced resistance to challenge with the homologous strain and some degree of protection against certain heterologous strains. 相似文献

Groups of Caesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived lambs were inoculated by the intratracheal route with Pasteurella haemolytica 4 to 6 days after the inoculation of parainfluenza virus type 3 (PI3). Some were killed immediately (0 h) and others 24 h later. Control groups were inoculated with PI3 alone, P. haemolytica alone or media alone. Pulmonary phagocytic cells, P. haemolytica and PI3 were recovered by pulmonary lavage. The phagocytes were separated into alveolar macrophage (AM) and neutrophil fractions by density gradient centrifugation and examined biochemically and microbiologically. Twenty-four hours after the inoculation of P. haemolytica bacterial proliferation to greater than 0 h levels had occurred in four of six animals inoculated with P. haemolytica alone, two of eight inoculated with P. haemolytica 4 days after PI3 and all of eight inoculated with P. haemolytica 6 days after PI3. Mean bacterial numbers in animals inoculated with P. haemolytica 6 days after PI3 and killed at 24 h (10(9.1 +/- 1.9)) were significantly higher than they were in the other two groups killed at this time (PI3 4 days, P. haemolytica 24 h, mean = 10(5.3 +/- 1.7); P. haemolytica alone 24 h, mean = 10(4.5 +/- 2.9)). Pneumonic lesions were also more severe in the first group. This defect in pulmonary clearance and increase in the severity of pneumonia in animals inoculated with P. haemolytica 6 days after PI3 coincided with a 1000-fold decrease in virus titres in the lung between Day 6 and Day 7 after virus inoculation and the first detectable evidence of the host's immune response. The virus infection resulted in a significant increase in the number of AM that could be recovered from the lung and an increase in the number of AM with cytoplasmic vacuolation. However, there was no difference in the total number of AM or the number of vacuolated AM between animals that controlled the P. haemolytica infection and those in which proliferation of P. haemolytica occurred. The inoculation of P. haemolytica resulted in a 100-fold increase in the number of neutrophils in the lavage fluid, but there were no differences between virus-infected and uninfected animals, nor was there a difference between animals that controlled the P. haemolytica infection and those that did not.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Four healthy calves were inoculated with Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 by instillation of a broth culture into the middle nasal meatus of the left nostril. Four weeks later, calves were exposed to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus by aerosol into both nostrils. All calves became ill, from approximately day 3 through day 10 after virus exposure, and shed increased amounts of nasal mucus. Two calves were induced to shed P haemolytica by the virus infection, and 2 calves required reinoculation with P haemolytica for nasal passages to become actively colonized. Elastase activity in nasal mucus increased about 15-fold within 3 days and peaked about 60-fold over baseline by 7 days after virus exposure. Activity of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, a measure of cell damage and serum leakage, increased slightly by day 3 and reached plateau on day 5, almost threefold over baseline activity. Protein and carbohydrate content increased at a rate similar to that of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase activity with about 12-fold and sixfold increases, respectively. None of the variables returned to baseline by 19 days after virus exposure. Increased elastase activity preceded colonization by P haemolytica and decreasing elastase activity preceded decreasing P haemolytica concentration in the nasal secretions. A causal relation between elastase activity and P haemolytica colonization could be mediated by cleavage of epithelial cell surface fibronectin and exposure of receptors. 相似文献

An experiment was designed to study the in vivo effect of Pasteurella haemolytica A2 infection on the phagocytosis activity of caprine broncho-alveolar macrophages and the extent of pneumonic lesions. Twelve healthy local Kacang goats, about 7 months of age, were divided into two groups of six. Goats in group 1 were inoculated intratracheally with 4 ml inoculum containing 2.8 x 10(9) colony-forming units (CFU)/ml of Staphylococcus aureus. Goats in group 2 were inoculated intratracheally with 4 ml of inoculum containing 9.5 x 10(8) CFU/ml of Pasteurella haemolytica A2 isolated earlier from pneumonic lungs of goat. At intervals of 3 and 7 days post-challenge five goats from each group were killed and the lungs were washed with sterile phosphate-buffered saline. Smears were prepared from the lung washing fluid and the number of macrophages with phagocytic activity was determined. At day 3 post-infection, goats of both groups showed a similar pattern of pneumonic lesion. The lung washing fluid of goats in group 2 was found to contain numerous neutrophils and macrophages. Goats in group 2 showed significantly (P < 0.05) higher extent of lung lesions than group 1. Similarly, the average extent of lung lesions was significantly (P < 0.05) more severe in group 2 at day 7 post-infection. The lung washing fluid contained mostly macrophages. The phagocytic activity following S. aureus infection was more efficient and significantly (P < 0.01) higher compared with infection by P. haemolytica A2. There were weak correlations between the extent of pneumonic lesion and the phagocytic activity. Thus, goats with poor phagocytic activity were likely to develop more extensive lung lesions. 相似文献

The antibody responses to the capsular carbohydrate (CC) purified from Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 were determined by an ELISA, using 135 sera from 6 calves vaccinated with phosphate-buffered saline solution, formalin-killed P haemolytica bacterins, live P haemolytica, or an extract of P haemolytica referred to as carbohydrate-protein subunit (CPS). Calves vaccinated with live P haemolytica, bacterins, or CPS developed serum antibodies to CC. Bacterins containing Freund incomplete adjuvant or Freund complete adjuvant induced higher antibody responses than did bacterins containing aluminum hydroxide. In 4 of 6 experiments, high antibody responses to CC were significantly (P less than 0.05) correlated with resistance to transthoracic challenge exposure with P haemolytica. When calves were challenge exposed with a dose of P haemolytica that was 4.5 times greater than the standard challenge exposure dose or when calves that had been vaccinated with CPS were challenge exposed, antibody responses did not significantly (P greater than 0.05) correlate with resistance to challenge exposure. The amount of serum antibodies to CPS increased significantly (P less than 0.05) when calves were vaccinated with live or killed P haemolytica or with CPS, compared with that in calves given saline solution. In 5 of 6 experiments, correlation between high antibody responses and resistance to challenge exposure was significant (P less than 0.05). The correlation between those variables was not significant (P less than 0.07) for CPS-vaccinated calves. In the ELISA, treatment of CPS with sodium m-periodate, to oxidize periodate-sensitive carbohydrate epitopes, failed to markedly alter the antibody response to CPS.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin: physicochemical characteristics and susceptibility of leukotoxin to enzymatic treatment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sterile, concentrated culture supernatant from Pasteurella haemolytica (biotype A, serotype 1) strain 630 was subjected to physical, chemical, and immunologic treatments to determine their influence on leukotoxin (cytotoxin) activity contained in the supernatant. Each treated sample contained approximately 8 chemiluminescence inhibitory units of leukotoxin. Treatment effects were evaluated for their ability to inactivate leukotoxin activity. Leukotoxin activity in treated samples was determined by inhibition of the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence response of bovine neutrophils. Optimal leukotoxin synthesis by P haemolytica occurred when the bacteria were at the logarithmic growth phase, whereas stationary phase cultures contained minimal amounts of leukotoxin activity in their culture supernatant. Leukotoxin activity was heat labile; activity was substantially decreased when concentrated culture supernatant samples containing leukotoxin activity were incubated at 37 C for several hours. When concentrated culture supernatant was incubated at progressively decreasing temperatures, there was a progressive increase in the length of time that the leukotoxin retained its biologic activity. Samples stored at -70 C retained activity for at least 2 months. Leukotoxin activity was nondialyzable and was able to withstand considerable extremes in hydrogen ion concentration. Leukotoxin activity could not be pelleted when subjected to forces of 100,000 X g for 1 hour. Chemical and enzymatic studies suggested that P haemolytica leukotoxin contained carbohydrate and protein moieties. Chemical treatment with 0.2% sodium lauryl sulfate, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 7.5 mM EDTA and 8M urea with 8 mM 2-mercaptoethanol and enzymatic treatment with lipase, ribonuclease, and deoxyribonuclease had no discernible effect on leukotoxin activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Analysis of protein and antigen profiles of Tritrichomonas foetus isolates from cattle from 5 western states was accomplished by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, immunoblot, immunoprecipitation, and fluorography techniques. Total protein profiles of all isolates were compared by Coomassie brilliant blue staining of T foetus protein samples prepared by 4 protein-extraction methods. Antigenic tritrichomonas proteins were identified by immunoblot assay with polyclonal bovine or rabbit anti-T foetus serum. Additionally, [14C]glucosamine-labeled T foetus was used for total and antigenic glycoprotein analyses. Detectable differences in the composition of total proteins or antigenic tritrichomonal proteins were not observed among all isolates. However, intensity differences in some antigenic protein bands were apparent. Bovine and rabbit sera from immunized animals possessed antibodies to the same antigenic tritrichomonal proteins. Each T foetus isolate contained 4 to 7 molecular weight size classes of glycoprotein, which were labeled by [14C]glucosamine; however, only 3 to 4 glycoproteins were identified as antigens by bovine or rabbit antiserum. 相似文献

Groups of caesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived lambs were inoculated by the intratracheal route with Pasteurella haemolytica, either alone or 4 or 6 days after the inoculation of parainfluenza virus type 3 (PI3). Other groups were inoculated with PI3 followed by veal infusion broth, or with uninfected cell culture fluid followed by veal infusion broth (controls). All lambs were killed 24 h after the second inoculation. Pulmonary phagocytic cells were recovered by lavage and separated into alveolar macrophage (AM) and neutrophil fractions by density gradient centrifugation. Bacterial proliferation was detected in the lungs of all five lambs inoculated with P. haemolytica 6 days after PI3 but in only one of five inoculated with P. haemolytica 4 days after PI3 and one of five inoculated with P. haemolytica alone. The number of phagocytic cells recovered from the lungs was highest in animals inoculated with P. haemolytica 6 days after PI3 and, overall, a greater number of both AM and neutrophils was recovered from the lungs of animals where bacterial proliferation occurred (greater than 10(5.0) P. haemolytica 100 g-1 lung) than from those that controlled the bacterial infection. Oxygen-dependent bactericidal activity of AM and neutrophils was measured by chemiluminescence. Infection with PI3 and P. haemolytica increased the chemiluminescence responses. The highest responses were recorded from lambs inoculated with P. haemolytica 6 days after PI3, the group where pulmonary clearance was poorest. Overall, responses were higher in lambs in which bacterial proliferation occurred than in those that controlled the infection. On the other hand, oxygen-independent bactericidal activity, measured by the direct effects of neutrophil lysates on Escherichia coli, was lowest in lambs inoculated with P. haemolytica 6 days after PI3 and was lower in lambs where bacterial proliferation occurred. 相似文献

Bovine alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (alpha 1AG) was purified from pooled normal bovine sera by successive ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatographies and gel filtration. Bovine alpha 1AG had a molecular weight of 42,000 +/- 2,000 and a sedimentation coefficient of 3.4S. It contained 26.6% carbohydrate. Gel isoelectric focusing revealed a microheterogeneity with 7 to 8 bands in a pI range of 3.2 to 3.7. It migrated to the alpha 1-globulin region upon immunoelectrophoresis. Single radial immunodiffusion was developed for the quantitative measurement of bovine alpha 1AG in serum. The mean serum value of alpha 1AG in 152 healthy Holstein cattle (1-12 years old) was 283.2 +/- 82.3 micrograms/ml. Elevated values (cut-off value = 450 micrograms/ml) were observed in cattle with traumatic pericarditis (100%), arthritis (100%), mastitis (91%), pneumonia (70%), and mesenteric liponecrosis (43%). 相似文献
