Antibody-independent binding and activation of complement by Schistosoma mansoni adult worms.

Abstract:

:The in vitro binding serum complement (C) components to Schistosoma mansoni worms was studied. By exposing frozen sections of adult male and female parasites to normal human serum, binding of both classical and alternative pathway C components was observed. By immunofluorescence (IFL) microscopy selective binding of Clq, C4 and C3 to the schistosomal tegument, internal structures, the intestinal tract and eggs was seen. The C4 and C3 binding was completely abolished in the presence of 10 mM EDTA. EGTA also completely inhibited binding of C4 and most of the C3 binding. These results suggest that C binding to S. mansoni adult worms occurs mostly by the classical activation pathway. However, the partial Ca2+ independence of C3 binding and the demonstrated binding of the regulatory protein beta 1H suggests that worms are capable also of C3 binding by the alternative pathway. No C binding occurred to intact worms. Although some in vivo bound immunoglobulin appeared to be present occasionally at the parasite surface and in the gut, this material did not account for the demonstrated extensive C deposition upon incubation of frozen sections with normal human serum in vitro. Antibody independence of the observed classical pathway C binding was further indicated by binding of isolated Clq to the same structures capable of binding C components from serum.

  • Evidence of cross-stage CD8+ T cell epitopes in malaria pre-erythrocytic and blood stage infections.

    abstract::Malaria parasites have a complex, multistage life cycle and there is a widely held view that each stage displays a distinct set of antigens presented to the immune system. Yet, molecular analysis of malaria parasites suggests that many putative antigenic targets are shared amongst the different stages. The specificiti...
