Low-level infection with the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis induces significant and sustained specific and non-specific IgE antibody responses in rats.

Abstract:

:Specific and non-specific IgE antibody responses were studied in SD rats infected with between 5 and 2500 Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (NB) larvae. In rats with 2500 NB larvae, specific IgE antibody, measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using NB excretory/secretory substance as antigen, reached a peak at 4 weeks of infection and gradually declined. On the other hand, in rats infected with 10 or 100 NB larvae, specific IgE was induced at 4 weeks of infection and the level continued to rise until at least 8 weeks after infection. The level at 8 weeks was significantly higher in rats infected with 10 or 100 larvae than in rats infected with 2500 larvae. The results indicate that the low-level infection induced a much more sustained specific IgE response than that induced after heavy infection. However, the level of specific IgG was correlated with the dose of infection, and reached a plateau 6 weeks after infection. Total serum IgE increased significantly even in rats infected with five larvae, a dose which did not induce detectable specific IgE. The kinetics of the production of total IgE was different in rats with light and heavy infections. In rats infected with five or 10 larvae, total IgE increased slowly and reached a plateau 4 weeks after infection. On the other hand, rats infected with more than 500 larvae showed a remarkable rise in total IgE at 2 weeks of infection; this rise gradually declined thereafter. Six weeks after infection, total IgE levels were almost the same (2-3 micrograms/ml) in rats infected with 10-2500 NB larvae. These results show that low-level NB infection induces a significant and sustained specific and non-specific IgE response in rats.
