Antibody complement-dependent bacteriolysis in experimentally induced pasteurellosis in mice

McVey, D.S. | Loan, R.W.
Affinity-purified bovine immunoglobulin isotypes were bacteriolytic for Pasteurella haemolytica biotype A, serotype 1 (PHA-1). This bacteriolysis was specific and complement-dependent. The IgM and IgG1 were the most active isotypes in the classic complement cascade. These isotypes also induced bacteriolysis through the alternative complement cascade. The comparative bacteriolytic activities of IgG1 and IgM were equal within each cascade; however, the bacteriolytic activities of IgG1 and IgM were equal within each cascade; however, the bacteriolytic activities of IgG1 and IgM were lower in the alternative cascade than in the classical cascade. The IgG2 was more bacteriolytic than IgA in the classic and alternative complement pathways. Bovine immunoglobulins passively protected C57BL/6 mice from experimentally induced pasteurellosis. There were no major differences in the protection among hyperimmune sera, purified IgM, or purified IgG. Mice were protected from PHA-1 by approximately 1.9 microgram of IgG and 1.2 or 0.1 microgram of IgM. Elimination of murine complement with cobra venom factor 3 reduced PHA-1 clearance in passively immunized C57BL/6 mice. The protective effect of IgM mediated resistance was highly dependent on an intact complement system. The intact complement cascade was associated with enhanced clearance of PHA-1 from the liver. Although PHA-1 was susceptible to antibody complement-mediated bacteriolysis in vitro, the dependence on an intact complement cascade was not absolute in experimentally induced murine septicemic pasteurellosis.
