Influences of both genetic background and sex on the production of autoantibodies induced by vaccine of campylobacter jejuni / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Five strains of mice (C57BL/6, BALB/c, ICR, KM and SMMC/B) were respectively orally immunized with CJ-S131 vaccine for 16 weeks, Autoantibodies against ss-DNA, ds-DNA, histones, extractable nuclear antigens (ENA)and thymocytes were detected by ELISA or CELIS(?)One or more kind (s) of autoantibody significantly raised in the serum of SMMC/B, KM, BALB/c and ICR mice, but not in C57BL/6 mice. The mean enzyme index (EI) of the autoantibodies of SMMC/B and KM mice was higher than that of ICR and BALB/c. The influence of the sex on the production of autoantibody induced by CJ-S131 vaccine seemed to be demonstrated on the basis of genetic background.It was characterized by (1) autoantibodies raising mainly in the female mice,e.g. in KM mice; (2) one kind of autoantibody or more raising in both male and female mice, as seen in SMMC/B and BALB/c mice; and (3) autoantibody no in male and female of C57BL/6 mice. The results revealed that the profile of autoimmune response induced by CJ-S131 vaccine was different in strains and sex of mice.
