Cross-protection aginst Salmonella enteritidis infection in mice. I. Immunization trials. 1979

V D Padmanaban, and K R Mittal

Mice were immunized subcutaneously with live and killed vaccines, with and without complete adjuvant incorporating Salmonella typhi-murium M206, Salmonella gallinarum 9R, Salmonella pullorum Sp223 as well as homologous Salmonella enteritidis Se795. The animals were challenged 21 days post-vaccination with 100 LD50 of virulent S. enteritidis 5694 SMR subcutaneously along with unvaccinated control mice. To assess the immunity against acute and chronic infections, the percentage of absolute survivors i.e. survivors without lesions and without the challenge organism, was taken as the criterion. Live vaccines proved better than killed vaccines. Live vaccines with complete adjuvant induced a good protection. Cross-protection could be induced with the live vaccine with complete adjuvant against S. enteritidis infection in mice.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D003429	Cross Reactions	Serological reactions in which an antiserum against one antigen reacts with a non-identical but closely related antigen.	Cross Reaction,Reaction, Cross,Reactions, Cross
D000276	Adjuvants, Immunologic	Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity.
