analysis of a 43-kda glycoprotein from the intracellular parasitic nematode trichinella spiralis.the l1 larvae of the parasitic nematode trichinella spiralis invade skeletal muscle and initiate a process that has been interpreted to represent skeletal muscle dedifferentiation. in this process, the infected region of the muscle cell is converted into a unique structure, called the nurse cell. the nematode t. spiralis can survive for tens of years within the cytoplasm of the nurse cell and secretes proteins into the cytoplasm that are believed to play a role in mediating the nurse cell format ...19921382055
increased levels of substance p in the myenteric plexus of trichinella-infected rats.changes in immunoreactive substance p concentrations were investigated in longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus preparations from the inflamed jejunum of trichinella spiralis-infected rats. the substance p concentration increased within 2 days of infection and increased fivefold by day 6; in contrast, there was no significant increase in substance p in the noninflamed ileum. in vitro exposure of preparations from infected rats to scorpion venom reduced substance p levels by 88%. in addition, no i ...19921375178
specificity of affinity-purified trichinella spiralis antigens.an affinity-purified fraction (apf) was obtained by passing crude somatic antigens of trichinella spiralis muscle larvae through an affi-gel 10 column coupled with anti-trichuris suis igg. the fraction contained seven antigens with molecular weights ranging from 28 to 55 kda. when tested with antiserum against other common nematodes of pigs from china, the apf was found to be markedly more specific than s3 antigens (prepared by a combination of cell fractionation and differential centrifugation ...19921373256

characterization of cholinesterases from the parasitic nematode trichinella spiralis.1. trichinella cholinesterases occur in multiple molecular forms which differ in size, kinetics, activity with butyrylthiocholine, and effects of inhibitors. 2. the 5.3 and 13s forms identified in trichinella extracts are also found in c. elegans and other nematodes but the 7s form which occurs in other nematodes was absent from trichinella detergent extracts. differences in kinetic and inhibition properties among nematode species were also evident. 3. the level of cholinesterases in excretory/s ...19921360365
influence of resistant and susceptible genotype, il-1, and lymphoid organ on trichinella spiralis-induced cytokine secretion.the relative importance of cell-mediated inflammatory responses and antibody-mediated responses in controlling parasitic helminth infection is debated. to study the relationship between these responses and resistance or susceptibility to primary trichinella spiralis infection, we infected resistant akr mice and susceptible b10.br mice and analyzed the lymphokines il-2, ifn-gamma, and il-5 produced by their t cells as a function of time and lymphoid organ. il-2-secretors occurred maximally betwee ...19921353100
recognition of trichinella spiralis muscle larvae antigens by sera from human infected with this parasite and its potential use in diagnosis.human antibody response to total soluble extract of trichinella spiralis muscle larvae (tse) was analyzed by western blot. the most frequently recognized antigens had molecular weights of 96, 67, 63, 60, 55 and 47 kda. an antigenic fraction containing two peptides with m.w. of 43, 47 kda from the parasite (p43, 47 ts l1) was isolated by elution from polyacrylamide gel slabs. it was used as antigen in an elisa test and compared to that of tse. serum samples from 51 symptomatic trichinellosis pati ...19921345318
[susceptibility and the immune response to trichinella spiralis infection].the aim of this study was to assess a possible association between parameters of immune response and susceptibility/resistance to t. spiralis infection. the immune response to t. spiralis was monitored in two inbred strains of mice (balb/c and c57bl/6), as well as in the most important natural host--swine, by analysing the changes in main lymphocyte populations, the appearance of specific antibodies and worm burden recovery. in the murine model, the lower level of muscle larvae worm burden recov ...19921340488
the significance of the "lung phase" in host-helminth relations.many helminth infections have a "lung phase" whose significance considering the host-parasite relations has not yet been clarified. in some nematode infections larvae must pass through the lungs, in others adult worms live in the respiratory tract, and some others cause tropical pulmonary eosinophilia. some examples of these infections (nippostrongylus brasiliensis, schistosoma mansoni, trichinella spiralis and toxocara canis) are considered to clarify whether this phase of infection is a "pro-h ...19921339975
impaired acetylcholine release in the inflamed rat intestine is t cell independent.we investigated mechanisms underlying the suppression of [3h]acetylcholine ([3h]ach) release from myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle preparations of rats infected 6 days previously with trichinella spiralis. there was a 73% suppression of kcl-evoked release of [3h]ach in the jejunum, and a 76% suppression was observed in the worm-free ileum, indicating that the local presence of the parasite in the lumen is not prerequisite for the suppression of ach release from the myenteric plexus. treatmen ...19921325127

habitat and reproductive behavior of trichinella spiralis.the normal niche of trichinella spiralis adults was found to be in the epithelial layer of the mucosa of the small intestine of its host. most worms were found in the epithelium at the base of the villi and in the glandular crypts. copulation and insemination occurred between 30 and 32 hr postinfection, all although these acts were never observed, it was concluded that copulation and insemination took place in the epithelial layer of the mucosa. a majority of the adults were found to be complete ...19761003275
effects on murine trichinosis of niridazole, a suppressant of cellular but not humoral immunological responses.two groups of mice infected with trichinella spiralis were treated with niridazole (100 mg/kg), one on alternate days, the other daily. both regimens failed to influence the numbers of adult worms in the intestines or larvae in the muscles compared with untreated control mice. mice treated with niridazole daily, but not those treated on alternate days, showed a significant reduction in the inflammatory reaction to larvae in the muscles. immediate footpad swelling in response to injection of solu ...1976999358

the hematopoietic microenvironment of the bone marrow: an ultrastructural study of the stroma in rats.the bone marrow contains branching vascular sinuses lying in a fibroblastic stroma which supports hematopoiesis. this paper describes the stroma and vascular sinuses by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and in freeze-fracture etch replicas in normal fat femoral marrow and in rats made eosinophilic by larvae of trichinella spiralis. the stroma consists primarily of reticular cells which ensheath sinuses as adventitial cells and branch into the surrounding hematopoietic space. they for ...1976984472
the stichosome and its secretion granules in the mature muscle larva of trichinella spiralis.the stichosome of the mature muscle larva of trichinella spiralis consists of a single row of 45 to 55 stichocytes. each stichocyte is about 25 mum in diameter and possesses a single nucleus. a duct leads from each stichocyte to the lumen of the esophagus. the stichocyte cytoplasm contains mitochondria, structures resembling golgi-complexes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and usually 1 of 2 types of secretory granules. the alpha-granule measures about 800 mn in diameter, contains a prominent inclu ...1976978367
accelerated expulsion of adult trichinella spiralis in mice given lymphoid cells and serum from infected donors.immunity to the adult stage of trichinella spiralis, assessed by an acceleration of worm expulsion, was transferred to recipient mice with mesenteric lymph node cells (mlnc) or serum taken from infected donors. immunity was transferred most effectively by mlnc taken from donors infected for 8 days, i.e. donors actively responding to infection. transfer of both mlnc and serum brought about a marked acceleration of worm expulsion in all cases, even where mlnc or serum given separately failed to tr ...1976967521
altered small bowel propulsion associated with parasitism.experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that alterations of intestinal motility accompany enteric helminth infections. motility was measured in rats during the intestinal phase of infection with the nematode trichinella spiralis by following the transit of radioactive chromium through the gut. intraduodenal catheters were surgically implanted in rats. one week after the operation one group of animals was infected with 8 x 10(3) t. spiralis larvae and a second group was infected with 16 ...1976955350

a re-evaluation of the slide flocculation test for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis with adult worms as antigen.the present study was conducted to determine whether extracts from adult schistosoma mansoni could be coated onto cholesterol-lecithin crystals. of particular interest was the use of stunted schistosomes (ss) recovered from rabbits. the reactions obtained with this antigen in this slide flocculation (sf) test were compared with those employing antigens from cercariae and mature adult worms. the stunted schistosome sf test (sfss) showed a high sensitivity and specificity while cercarial antigen s ...1976937633
the prevalence of trichinella spiralis in foxes (vulpes vulpes) and other game species in denmark.a survey of the rate of infection with trichinella spiralis among game animals in denmark is given with special regard to foxes. a total of 5084 foxes and 293 mustelidae were examined, most of them by a combined digestion and baermann technique. deep-frozen samples were examined by a method including digestion, filtration, and sedimentation. four foxes were found infected (cf. fig. 1). three of them were shot inside or just outside a fenced area within which wild boars had previously been found ...1976934811
an investigation of north atlantic whales for trichinosis.in 1971, 81 finback (balaenoptera physalus), 119 sei (b. borealis), two piked (b. acutorostrata), 15 humpback (megaptera novaeangliae) and one sperm whale (physeter catodon) taken in the north atlantic off the newfoundland and nova scotia coasts were examined for the presence of trichinella spiralis. all 218 whales were negative for trichinosis.1976933319

trichinella spiralis infection in congenitally athymic (nude) mice. parasitological, serological and haematological studies with observations on intestinal pathology.in six experiments the course of a trichinella spiralis infection in congenitally athymic (nu/nu) mice and their heterozygous thymus-bearing littermates (+/nu) was followed. in the +/nu mice worms were expelled at day 10 post infection. in nu/nu mice worms remained in the intestine until the end of the observation period (83 days post infection). in testing the yield of muscle larvae in +/nu and nu/nu mice 4--5 times more muscle larvae were isolated from nu/nu mice than from infected +/nu mice. ...1977924522
kinetics of immunological responses, resistance to reinfection, and pathological reactions to infection with trichinella spiralis.changes in immune responses, resistance to reinfection, and pathological reactions were studied serially in mice that had been infected for four to 40 weeks with 150 larvae of trichinella spiralis. immediate footpad hypersensitivity reactions to antigens of trichinella were present throughout the period of observation. delayed hypersensitivity reactions 48 hr after injection of antigen were first seen in mice infected for 14 weeks and gradually increased in size thereafter. intestinal adult worm ...1977908853
reactivity and specificity of trichinella spiralis fractions in cutaneous and serological tests.six diethylaminoethyl-cellulose fractions of a larval trichinella spiralis extract, an ascaris suum extract, and a nonrelated protein were used for cutaneous tests in guinea pigs with 8-, 14-, and 73-day-old t. spiralis infections, in guinea pigs with 13-day-old a. suum infections, and in normal guinea pigs. a selected t. spiralis fraction was used in hemagglutination (ha) tests with sera of 8 t. spiralis-infected rabbits, 41 sera of trichinellosis patients positive by bentonite agglutination te ...1977908745
immunity to trichinella spiralis. vii. resistance stimulated by the parenteral stages of the infection.in three experiments mice were given three intravenous injections of trichinella spiralis newborn larvae produced in vitro. following a challenge infection of newborn larvae the mice were shown to be on the average 85% resistant i.e., only 15% of the challenge larvae developed to encysted muscle stage larvae in these mice; when the challenge consisted of normal muscle larvae administered per os, the mice were 51% resistant. neither the number nor longevity of adult worms in the intestines was af ...1977886409

dynamics of circulating antibodies against trichinella spiralis after application of anthelmintics.formation and dynamics of circulating antibodies were studied in mice experimentally inefected with t. spiralis and treated with mebendazole. latex-fixation tube was used in the experiment. in the control group of untreated mice the antibodies were detected on the 21st day after infection. the antibody level reached the maximum on day 76 and low titres were found still on day 207 after infection. in mice treated with mebendazole in the intestinal phase of trichinellosis, the antibodies were dete ...1977881141
evidence for the involvement of a bone marrow-derived cell population in the immune expulsion of trichinella spiralis.when mice were irradiated immediately before infection with trichinella spiralis there was a profound and long-lasting interference with their ability to expel adult worms from the intestine. irradiation given after the fifth day of infection was progressively less effective in this respect. the ability to expel worms was not restored when mesenteric lymph node cells (mlnc) were transferred (a) on the day of infection in mice irradiated one day previously, or (b) on day 7 of an infection in mice ...1977876679
transfer of immunity to trichinella spiralis in the mouse with mesenteric lymph node cells: time of appearance of effective cells in donors and expression of immunity in recipients.cells capable of transferring immunity to trichinella spiralis, i.e. of accelerating adult worm expulsion, were present in the mesenteric lymph nodes of mice infected for 4, 6 or 8 days, but not in mice infected for only 2 days. the time-course of worm expulsion in mice infected on the day of transfer was similar in recipients of day 4 or day 8 cells, expulsion becoming marked only when the recipients had been infected for at least 6 days. transfer of cells 4 or 6 days after infection did not re ...1977876678
