The current study was undertaken to investigate the role of macrophages as a cellular immune function against immunization with whole sonicated Listeria monocytogenes antigens (WSLMAgs) and the effect of probiotics. A preparation of WSLMAgs containing whole L. monocytogenes cell, after two subcutaneous immunization of BALB/c mice with 0.5ml WSLMAgs 0.5 mg/ml at an interval of two weeks. The bacterial identification was conducted by a conventional culture method using Listeria selective media PALCAM and confirmed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), As well as, the immunohistochemical and pathological change of it was studied in vivo by inoculating mice with pre-challenge WSLMAgs and post-challenge with virulent L. monocytogenes 1×10 8 CFU/mL. The results revealed the cellular immune function against pre-and post-immunization in spleen organ via lymphocytic hyperplasia in white pulp and coalescence of lymphoid follicles and marker F4/80 + show the immune-positive cells in aggregation adjacent to lymphoid follicle or focal aggregation of macrophages between follicles. In conclusion, the effectiveness of sonicated L. monocytogenes pre and post-immunization then challenge with virulent L. monocytogenes in the induction of cellular immune response, might serve as an immunization platform for applicants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
