Immunological reactions to liver-specific membrane lipoprotein (LSP) in experimental autoimmune liver disease in rabbits. 1982

R M Uibo, and H J Helin, and K J Krohn

Humoral and cellular immunity to a liver-specific membrane lipoprotein (LSP) was followed in rabbits immunized either with allogenic rabbit LSP (RLSP) or with xenogenic human (HLSP) or bovine (BLSP) antigens. After 4 months of immunization, all rabbits showed histological changes in liver resembling those found in chronic aggressive hepatitis and occasionally also those seen in primary biliary cirrhosis in man. Antibodies reacting to both allogenic as well as xenogenic LSP preparations were found with an enzyme-linked solid phase immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in all immunized rabbits. Lymphocyte transformation tests in unimmunized rabbits showed an occasional response to some of the LSP preparations and a strong response towards an equivalent rabbit kidney preparation (RKSP). After immunization, reactions to LSP preparations increased significantly, while no response to RKSP was observed. The results confirm previous findings and further demonstrate that similar LSP containing preparations from human, bovine and rabbit sources share autoantigenic, liver-specific determinants. In addition, species specific determinants seem to be present in each of the LSP preparations studied.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
