摘要:
Salivary glands obtained from feeding adult female Dermacentor andersoni (Acari:Ixodidae) were fractionated using differential centrifugation, detergents, centrifugal concentrators incorporating filter membranes with various molecular weight cutoffs, and preparative SDS-PAGE. A lymphocyte proliferation assay was used to evaluate the effects of salivary gland fractions on ConA-induced blastogenesis of normal murine splenocytes. Lipid, soluble, and detergent-soluble fractions were found to significantly suppress ConA-induced proliferation of splenocytes. Fractions containing soluble proteins suppressed splenocyte proliferation by ca. 26%. Suppressant activity in these fractions was due to components with molecular weights greater than 30 kDa. This suppression of splenocyte proliferation occurred with as little as 0.25 mu g protein per well. Salivary,oland preparative SDS-PAGE fractions containing one or more soluble polypeptides or proteins with molecular weights in the range 36 to 43 kDa significantly suppressed murine splenocyte responses to ConA in vitro.
