To observe and compare the effects of soluble adult worm antigen (SWA) and soluble egg antigen (SEA) of Schistosoma japonicum on the induction of Treg cells and the suppressive activity of Treg cells.
Splenocytes were prepared from mice treated with PBS, SWA, and SEA, respectively, and then the proportions of Treg cells and the levels of IL-10 and TGF-beta in Treg cells were determined by FACS. The purified Treg cells from the mice treated as above-mentioned were detected for their immunosuppressive activities by incorporation of [3H] thymidine for the final 16 h of culture.
Compared to SWA, SEA induced the higher proportion of Treg cells with a stronger suppressive activity, which produced the higher levels of IL-10 and TGF-beta (P < 0.05).
SEA significantly induces Treg cells and enhances their immunosuppressive activity.
观察并比较日本血吸虫可溶性成虫抗原(SWA)和可溶性虫卵抗原(SEA)对调节性T细胞(Treg细胞)的诱导作用以及Treg细胞的抑制活性。
分别从经磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS)、SWA和SEA处理的小鼠中制备脾细胞,然后通过流式细胞术(FACS)测定Treg细胞的比例以及Treg细胞中白细胞介素-10(IL-10)和转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)的水平。对上述处理的小鼠纯化的Treg细胞,在培养的最后16小时通过掺入[3H]胸苷来检测其免疫抑制活性。
与SWA相比,SEA诱导出比例更高且具有更强抑制活性的Treg细胞,这些细胞产生更高水平的IL-10和TGF-β(P < 0.05)。
SEA能显著诱导Treg细胞并增强其免疫抑制活性。
