Abstract |
The influence of cucumarioside, triterpene glycoside obtained from Cucumaria japonica (Echinodermata, Holoturioidea), or sea cucumbers, on the resistance of mice to Bordetella pertussis infection (with the use experimental pertussis meningoencephalitis as a model) and on the development of immune response to corpuscular pertussis vaccine was studied. The preparation under test was shown to have greatly pronounced immunomodulating properties depending on both the concentration of cucumarioside and the route of its administration, as well as on the dose of pertussis vaccine. When administered orally in a dose of 4 micrograms per mouse and intraperitoneally in doses of 0.04 and 0.0004 micrograms, cucumarioside enhanced the protective effect of corpuscular pertussis vaccine. The use of cucumarioside in a dose of 0.001 micrograms per mouse abolished the suppressive action of large doses of pertussis vaccine in the background rosette-formation test at an early period after immunization and increased number of immune rosettes formed by lymphocytes in the spleen of mice immunized with different doses of the corpuscular vaccine.
