Larrea divaricata is an abundant plant of northwest of Argentina used to treat different pathologies. We aimed to characterize the immunogenicity of proteins from a partially purified crude aqueous extract (JPCE) of jarilla. We evaluated the cross reaction between JPCE and whole cell-bacterial proteins (W-CBP) of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, and Klebsiella pneumoniae using a mouse anti-JPCE serum. Protein profiles of JPCE and W-CBP were analyzed. For JPCE, 18 bands were observed in a 20-176 kDa range. Levels of IgG against JPCE and W-CBP were determined. Bacterial proteins showed a strong reaction with the anti-JPCE serum. Plant proteins could be used as immune stimulants.
拉雷亚分裂是阿根廷西北部一种丰富的植物,用于治疗不同的疾病。我们的目的是对一种部分纯化的粗水提物(JPCE)中的蛋白质的免疫原性进行表征。我们使用抗 JPCE 血清评估了 JPCE 与大肠杆菌、铜绿假单胞菌、普通变形杆菌和肺炎克雷伯菌的全细胞细菌蛋白(W-CBP)之间的交叉反应。分析了 JPCE 和 W-CBP 的蛋白图谱。对于 JPCE,在 20-176 kDa 范围内观察到 18 条带。测定了针对 JPCE 和 W-CBP 的 IgG 水平。细菌蛋白与抗 JPCE 血清有强烈反应。植物蛋白可用作免疫刺激剂。
