title: Subcellular fractions of Brucella ovis distinctively induce the production of interleukin-2, interleukin-4, and interferon-gamma in mice.
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 3 Brucella ovis subcellular protein fractions: Outer membrane (OMP), inner membrane (IMP), and cytoplasm (CP), on cellular immune response by in vitro production of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, and interferon (IFN)-gamma. Each fraction was inoculated 3 times into Balb/c mice, primary cultures of mice spleen cells were done, and these were then stimulated with the fractions. Culture supernatants were collected at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h postinoculation. Cytokine concentration was measured by Duoset-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The OMP fraction induced highest cellular immune response of 1000 pg/mL of IL-2 at 24 h, which decreased to < 100 pg/mL by 96 h. The IL-2 response for the IMP fraction was low at 24 h, but exceeded that of the OMP fraction at 72, 96, and 120 h. The CP showed a poor IL response. Regarding the IFN-gamma production, OMP and IMP induced a high response at 120 h. These results open the possibility for the use of B. ovis outer and inner membrane proteins as a subcellular vaccine.
