The protection conferred by temperature-sensitive mutants of Salmonella enteritidis against different wild-type Salmonella serotypes was investigated. Oral immunization with the single temperature-sensitive mutant E/1/3 or with a temperature-sensitive thymine-requiring double mutant (E/1/3T) conferred: (i) significant protection against the homologous wild-type Salmonella strains; (ii) significant cross-protection toward high challenge doses of S. typhimurium. Significant antibody levels against homologous lipopolysaccharide and against homologous and heterologous protein antigens were detected in sera from immunized mice. Moreover, a wide range of protein antigens from different Salmonella O serotypes were recognized by sera from immunized animals. Besides, primed lymphocytes from E/1/3 immunized mice recognized Salmonella antigens from different serotypes. Taken together, these results indicate that temperature-sensitive mutants of S. enteritidis are good candidates for the construction of live vaccines against Salmonella.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.
