The bioavailability of the major fraction of a 14C-labeled Escherichia coli extract (OM-89) of high molecular mass > 30 kD (HEC) was investigated in rats after a single oral administration of a dose of 100 mg/kg b.w. The determination of radioactivity in blood and plasma showed that HEC was absorbed by the digestive tract, either in its original form or partly degraded. In plasma, the radioactivity reached a Cmax value after 4 h, equivalent to an extract concentration of 31.7 micrograms/g of plasma with an elimination half live of 33 h. High molecular weight molecules of HEC (> 30 kD) were found by radiochromatography in rat serum 4 h after administration. Immunoprecipitation in the serum showed that HEC retains intact determinants throughout the digestive and absorptive processes. It is therefore absorbed either in its original form or partly degraded. A high incorporation of radiolabel was found in liver, secretory glands (adrenals, thyroid gland, pancreas), and in lymphoid organs (spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes).

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

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.
