Abstract:  In understanding the regulation of the specific immune response to Salmonella typhimurium, the role of a surface major component (porins) was studied. In this study we demonstrate that purified porins are able to induce a different response to that induced by the porins present on the S. typhimurium cell surface. Porin-treated or orally infected mice show anti-porin antibodies with bactericidal activity. The complete adoptive transfer of resistance to S. typhimurium is achieved only using splenic T cells from survivor mice after experimental infection. After stimulation with specific antigen in vitro CD4+ cells from porin-immunized mice released large amounts of interleukin-4 (IL-4), at a time when CD4+ cells from S. typhimurium-infected mice predominantly secreted interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). Limiting dilution analysis showed that infection resulted in a higher precursor frequency of IFN-gamma-producing CD4+ T cells and a lower precursor frequency of IL-4-producing CD4+ T cells, while immunization with porins resulted in a higher precursor frequency of IL-4-producing cells and a low frequency of IFN-gamma-producing cells. Analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified cDNA from the spleens of infected mice revealed that IFN-gamma, IL-2 and IL-12 p40 mRNA were found 5 days after in vitro challenge and increased after 15 days; IL-10 expression was barely present after both 5 and 15 days, while IL-4 mRNA expression was not detected. In immunized mice, the IL-4 mRNA expression increased after 15 days, IFN-gamma mRNA expression disappeared entirely after 15 days, while IL-2, IL-10 and IL-12 mRNA remained relatively unchanged.

 This paper is part of a set of at least 14 papers with shared authors (always including one with the last name Galdiero), spanning 1995-2008, that all appear to show the same gels. The porin gels appear to all represent the same sample (Salmonella typhimurium porins), but the LPS gels represent Salmonella, Pasteurella multocida, or Pasteurella haemolytica). Sometimes fewer or more lanes are visible, and in each paper the data are represented as novel.
