title: [Complex of recombinant heat shock protein with lipopolysaccharide induces rapid protection of mice against Salmonella typhimurium and avirulent for humans avian influenza virus H5N2].
abstract: Protective effect of immunization with heat shock protein (HSP) against bacterial and viral infections in mice was studied. Recombinant HSP 70 kDa of Mycobacterium tuberculosis contaminated with lypopolysaccharide (0.185 mcg/ml) was used for experiments. One intraperitoneal injection of 100 or 400 mcg of HSP induced rapid protection against intraperitoneal challen e with 125 LD50 of Salmonella typhimurium (on 3rd-6th day) and against intranasal challenge with 10 LD50 of avirulent for humans avian influenza virus H5N2 (A/ mallard/Pennsylvania/10218/84) (on 5th-8th day). Three daily injections with 10 mcg of HSP induced rapid, significant and long-term protection against S. typhimurium. Immunization with HSP protected 100% of mice during 3 days after the challenge, 50% of immunized animals survived during 21 days (duration of the study). All nonimmunized mice died on 6th day.
