The capacity of four Mycobacterium tuberculosis recombinant antigens to elicit proliferation and cytokine production by human T cells was evaluated. Proliferative responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to all antigens were greater in healthy tuberculin reactors than in pulmonary tuberculosis patients, and proliferative responses of pleural fluid cells were greater than those of PBMC from patients with tuberculous pleuritis. The proliferative responses to the four recombinant antigens were similar in all patient groups, and there was no selective unresponsiveness to any antigen in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. The 38-kDa antigen induced less interferon-gamma than did the 10-, 30-, and 65-kDa antigens, and all four antigens induced similar amounts of interleukin-10. These results suggest that none of the four recombinant antigens are immunodominant, and that the 10-, 30-, and 65-kDa antigens are similar in their capacity to induce a potentially protective Th1-like response.

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
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
