The immune response to ovalbumin (OA) and the bacterial antigens, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and fimbriae were studied in conventional rats colonized from birth with an Escherichia coli strain producing OA. The colonized rats had developed IgE antibodies against OA, but not against the fimbrial or the LPS antigens from the E. coli at 2 months of age. At this time all rats were primed with OA given intracutaneously in Freund's complete adjuvant. Two weeks later the colonized rats showed a 35% greater delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction to OA, measured as ear swelling, than the controls. Thus bacteria carrying antigens resembling potential allergens might aggravate, or participate in the induction of allergic symptoms. In addition such bacteria could be efficient vaccine vectors in protection against parasites. The study illustrates the importance of the mode of antigen presentation for the subsequent immune response.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
