Using a monoclonal antibody as well as an RNA probe specific for MTSP-1 to stain tissue sections, we found T cells expressing MTSP-1 in skin lesions and spleens of mice of both strains. In skin lesions, MTSP-1-positive T cells could be detected as early as 3 days after infection. Most importantly, the frequency of T cells expressing MTSP-1 was significantly higher in susceptible BALB/c mice than in resistant C57BL/6 mice. These findings suggest that MTSP-1 is associated with disease-promoting T cells and that it may be an effector molecule involved in the pathogenesis of cutaneous leishmaniasis.}, subject = {Biologie}, language = {en} } @article{MollMitchellMcConvilleetal.1989, author = {Moll, Heidrun and Mitchell, Graham F. and McConville, Malcom J. and Handman, Emanuela}, title = {Evidence for T cell recognition in mice of a purified lipophosphoglycan from Leishmania major}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-61288}, year = {1989}, abstract = {We have previously reported that a Leishmania major lipophosphoglycan (LPG), given with killed Corynebacterium parvum as an adjuvant, can vaccinate mice against cutaneous leishmaniasis. In order to analyze whetber T cells are able to recognize this important parasite antigen, we have studied both humoral and cellular immune responses to L. major LPG that bad been isolated from promastigotes by sequential solvent extraction and bydrophobic chromatography. The data sbow that immunization of mice with highly purified LPG induced an increase in frequency of L. major-reactive T cells and the production of immunoglobulin G antibodies to LPG. Furthermore, genetically resistant mice infected with L. major were able to develop a specific delayed-type hypersensitivity response in the ear to L. major LPG. These findings strongly suggest that T cells can recognize and respond to glycolipid antigens, in this case a bost-protective Leishmania LPG, even though such antigens appear not to be potent T-cell stimulators in mice.}, subject = {Biologie}, language = {en} } @article{Moll1993, author = {Moll, Heidrun}, title = {Epidermal Langerhans cells are critical for immunoregulation of cutaneous leishmaniasis}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-61323}, year = {1993}, abstract = {In leishmaniasis, macrophages are known to play a central role as modulators of the specific immune activity.

In this study, we report on the isolation of Streptomyces sp. strains from Mediterranean sponges, on their secondary metabolite production and on their screening for anti-infective activities. Bioassay-guided isolation and purification yielded three previously known compounds namely, cyclic depsipeptide valinomycin, indolocarbazole alkaloid staurosporine and butenolide. This is the first report of the isolation of valinomycin from a marine source. These compounds exhibited novel anti-parasitic activities specifically against Leishmania major (valinomycin IC50 < 0.11 μM; staurosporine IC50 5.30 μM) and Trypanosoma brucei brucei (valinomycin IC50 0.0032 μM; staurosporine IC50 0.022 μM; butenolide IC50 31.77 μM). These results underscore the potential of marine actinomycetes to produce bioactive compounds as well as the re-evaluation of previously known compounds for novel anti-infective activities.}, subject = {Biologie}, language = {en} }
