Abstract
We examined the major pathogenic substances of Bordetella pertussis for the ability to induce nitric oxide, and important biological function of macrophages, via gamma interferon in spleen cells. B. pertussis, which produces a variety of pathogenic substances, including pertussis toxin and filamentous hemagglutinin, causes a severe respiratory disease. Nitric oxide was detected in the culture fluid of spleen cells stimulated with pertussis toxin or its B oligomer but not in the culture fluid of spleen cells stimulated with the A protomer of pertussis toxin or with filamentous hemagglutinin. Incubation of the peritoneal exudate macrophages with pertussis toxin, B oligomer, A protomer, or filamentous hemagglutinin induced little nitric oxide, whereas incubation with gamma interferon induced a significant amount of nitric oxide. The induction of nitric oxide in spleen cells stimulated with pertussis toxin was completely inhibited by anti-gamma interferon antibody. The treatment of spleen cells with anti-Thy-1.2 antibody plus complement followed by stimulation with pertussis toxin decreased the secretion of gamma interferon and nitric oxide. These results suggest that gamma interferon from T lymphocytes stimulated with pertussis to...Continue Reading
