The components of Ag85 (Ag85A, Ag85B, and Ag85C) are putative protective antigen candidates against mycobacterial infection. A recombinant Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (rBCG) over-producing Ag85A, Ag85B, and MPB51 (rBCG/BA51) was constructed. rBCG/BA51 could secrete these antigens at levels more than five times higher than parental BCG. Immunization of C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice with...
Immunization of mice with recombinant Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (rBCG) which over-produces a putative protective antigen candidate, the A component of antigen 85 complex (Ag85A), reduced the multiplication of Mycobacterium leprae in the foot pads of mice. The inhibition by this rBCG (rBCG/85A) was more evident than that with parental BCG. Repeated rBCG/85A immunization significantly...
The proteins in culture filtrate derived from Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) were examined for protection against infection by Mycobacterium leprae. Immunization with the major secreted proteins, antigen 85 complex (Ag 85) A, B and C, induced effective protective immunity against multiplication of M. leprae in the foot pads of mice. The most effective protection was observed when mice were immunized...
Immunization of mice with the ribosomal fraction from ruptured Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and the culture filtrate reduced remarkably the multiplication of Mycobacterium leprae in the foot pads of mice. This is the first reported case of the protective activity against M. leprae multiplication in mice of the BCG ribosomal fraction and culture filtrate. The inhibition was...
Autoantibodies against heat shock protein (hsp) 60 have been reported to be detected in sera of non-obese diabetic mice, in an experimental model of IDDM. However, there are only a few studies which have examined IDDM patients for antibodies against mammalian hsp60. We produced murine hsp60 derived from pancreatic beta cells which has high homology to human hsp60 and examined antibodies against the...
