Effect of human immunoglobulin preparations on experimental Bordetella pertussis infection in mice. 1986

M Iwata, and Y Ajiki

The effects of four kinds of human immunoglobulin preparations for intravenous use [pH-4-treated (IG-100), polyethyleneglycol-treated (PEG-G), sulfonated (S-G) and pepsin-treated (Pep-G)] on intracerebral (i.c.) Bordetella pertussis infection in mice, and on B. pertussis vaccine-induced leukocytosis-promoting factor (LPF) and histamine-sensitizing factor (HSF) were compared with those of human immunoglobulin preparation for intramuscular use (GGN). A prophylactic potential against i.c. B. pertussis challenge was demonstrated in IG-100, PEG-G and GGN. A prophylactic potential was also demonstrated in S-G and Pep-G, although to a lesser extent. Neutralizing activity for LPF was in the following order: GGN = IG-100 = PEG-G greater than S-G = Pep-G; for HSF it was as follows: IG-100 greater than PEG-G greater than GGN = S-G greater than Pep-G. There were no significant differences in antibody titers of the various preparations against B. pertussis antigens. These results suggest that the Fc part of the immunoglobulin molecule is important for protecting against i.c. B. pertussis infection and for neutralizing B. pertussis toxins.

D009500	Neutralization Tests	The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).

D010567	Pertussis Vaccine	A suspension of killed Bordetella pertussis organisms, used for immunization against pertussis (WHOOPING COUGH). It is generally used in a mixture with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids (DTP). There is an acellular pertussis vaccine prepared from the purified antigenic components of Bordetella pertussis, which causes fewer adverse reactions than whole-cell vaccine and, like the whole-cell vaccine, is generally used in a mixture with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids.

D001886	Bordetella pertussis	A species of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria that is the causative agent of WHOOPING COUGH. Its cells are minute coccobacilli that are surrounded by a slime sheath.	Bacterium tussis-convulsivae,Haemophilus pertussis,Hemophilus pertussis
D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
