Vaccine | 1994

Protection of immunosuppressed mice against translocation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from the gut by oral immunization with recombinant Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane protein I expressing Salmonella dublin.

AroA Salmonella dublin was used as recipient for a plasmid coding for the outer membrane protein I (OprI) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Oral immunization of Balb/c mice with recombinant S. dublin induced serum IgG and IgA antibodies against P. aeruginosa. In spleen and Peyers patches anti-P. aeruginosa IgG- and IgA-secreting cells could be measured by the ELISPOT technique. In an oral challenge of immunosuppressed mice with P. aeruginosa the orally immunized animals had a 58-fold higher LD50 than control animals.


Current Genetics | 1994

The beta-tubulin genes of Drosophila auraria are arranged in a cluster.

When the β1-, β2- and β3-tubulin-specific DNAs fromDrosophila melanogaster were used as probes to recognize tubulin-specific sequences in the chromosomes ofDrosophila auraria, they were found to hybridize to the same polytene band in region 32C of the 2L polytene chromosome. Three overlapping clones were isolated from a λEMBL 3 genomic library ofD. auraria, and they all contain β-tubulin-specific sequences based on hybridization and partial-sequencing experiments of subcloned fragments. These clones hybridize in situ to the same polytene chromosome band in region 32C and they represent an approximately 35-kb fragment of genomic DNA.


Infection | 1990

Protection of immunosuppressed mice against infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa by monoclonal antibodies to outer membrane protein OprI

SummaryTwo monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) designated 2A1 and 6A4 which had been shown to be directed againstPseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane lipoprotein I were tested in cyclophosphamide treated mice for their protective ability againstP. aeruginosa infection. Pretreatment of mice with either 2 mg of 2A1 or 4 mg of 6A4 in combination with lethally irradiated human leucocytes reduced the mortality after subsequent subcutaneous injection of 100 livingP. aeruginosa organisms to 50% of the controls. Without leucocytes only mAb 2A1 (isotype IgG2b) showed protection (47%). Irradiated leucocytes alone without mAb did not protect the mice significantly from fatalP. aeruginosa infection.ZusammenfassungZwei monoklonale Antikörper (2A1, 6A4) gegen Lipoprotein I vonPseudomonas aeruginosa wurden auf ihre protektive Wirkung gegenP. aeruginosa-Infektionen in mit Cyclophosphamid behandelten Mäusen getestet. Die Gabe von 2 mg 2A1 oder 4 mg 6A4 zusammen mit bestrahlten (25 Gy) humanen Leukozyten reduzierte die Mortalität der Mäuse nach Injektion von 100 lebendenP. aeruginosa-Keimen auf 50% der Kontrollen. Ohne Leukozyten zeigte nur der Antikörper 2A1 (Isotyp IgG2b) eine protektive Wirkung (47%). Mit 25 Gy bestrahlte Leukozyten alleine zeigten keine protektive Wirkung.

Schutzwirkung einer äußeren Membranprotein I Vaccine im Immunsuppressionsmodell der Maus

B.-U. von Specht; T. Reichhelm; M. Thoma; M Finke; Michael Duchêne; Horst Domdey

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) ist eine haufige Ursache nosokomialer Infektionen, denen vor allem immunsupprimierte Patienten zum Opfer fallen. Deshalb wurden und werden verschiedene Arten von Immuntherapie und Immunprophylaxe in Betracht gezogen. Unser Interesse gilt dem Einsatz der auseren Membranproteine (OPRs) als Vaccine, da OPRs eine Serogruppen-ubergreifende Immunitat vermitteln [1]. Wir konnten in fruheren Untersuchungen zeigen, das Impfung mit rekombinantem auseren Membranprotein I (rec. OprI) immunkompetente Mause gegen eine 4fache LD50 von P. aeruginosa schutzt. Wir untersuchten nun die protektive Wirkung von OprI-Immunisierung in Kombination mit OprI spezifischen monoklonalen Antikorpern (mAbs) im Immunsuppressionsmodell der Maus [2].
