Schistosoma mansoni: cell-mediated immunity evaluated by antigen-induced leukocyte adherence inhibition assay. 1985

J A Nogueira-Machado, and E Novato-Silva, and M F Souza, and G V Kritz

Peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) from schistosomiasis patients fail to adhere to glass in the presence of soluble egg antigens (SEA) or soluble worm adult antigenic preparation (SWAP). These leukocytes are non-reactive with S. mansoni unrelated antigens (C. albicans and bovine albumin). Supernatants obtained from cultures of mononuclear cells of patients with antigens were able to inhibit granulocyte adherence to glass. The inhibition of antigen-induced adherence (LAI assay) was not observed when PBL or supernatants were obtained from normal subjects or from schistosomiasis patients after chemotherapy. These results show that under the conditions tested, leukocytes appear to react directly with SEA or SWAP thus losing their property of adherence to glass.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007111	Immunity, Cellular	Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D007957	Leukocyte Adherence Inhibition Test	Test for cell-mediated antitumor immunity and related serum blocking factors based on the finding that leukocytes from cancer patients, but not from controls, when mixed in vitro with antigenic extracts of tumors of the same histological type, undergo a diminution in their normal adherence to glass surfaces. Sera from tumor-bearing patients block the LAI reaction of their own leukocytes or those of other patients with the same type of tumor.	LAI Test,LAI Tests,Test, LAI,Tests, LAI

D000947	Antigens, Helminth	Any part or derivative of a helminth that elicits an immune reaction. The most commonly seen helminth antigens are those of the schistosomes.	Helminth Antigens
D012550	Schistosoma mansoni	A species of trematode blood flukes of the family Schistosomatidae. It is common in the Nile delta. The intermediate host is the planorbid snail. This parasite causes schistosomiasis mansoni and intestinal bilharziasis.	Schistosoma mansonus,mansonus, Schistosoma
D012552	Schistosomiasis	Infection with flukes (trematodes) of the genus SCHISTOSOMA. Three species produce the most frequent clinical diseases: SCHISTOSOMA HAEMATOBIUM (endemic in Africa and the Middle East), SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI (in Egypt, northern and southern Africa, some West Indies islands, northern 2/3 of South America), and SCHISTOSOMA JAPONICUM (in Japan, China, the Philippines, Celebes, Thailand, Laos). S. mansoni is often seen in Puerto Ricans living in the United States.
