Disease relevance of Mycobacterium bovis

  • For patients with carcinoma in situ the complete-response probability estimates (i.e., the estimated probability of documented disappearance of disease) were 34 percent for doxorubicin (23 of 67 patients) and 70 percent for BCG (45 of 64 patients) (P less than 0.001); the median times to treatment failure were 5.1 and 39 months, respectively [1].
  • Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) was found originally in mouse serum after intravenous injection of bacterial endotoxin into mice primed with viable Mycobacterium bovis, strain Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) [2].
  • Antibodies to melanoma cell and BCG antigens in sera from tumour-free individuals and from melanoma patients [3].
  • SCID mice infected with the pantothenate auxotroph survived significantly longer (250 days) than mice infected with either bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine or virulent M. tuberculosis (77 and 35 days, respectively) [4].
  • In contrast, reduced prostaglandin synthesis by macrophages from mice variously treated with the immunologic agents, Corynebacterium parvum or Bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG), closely correlated with enhanced antitoxoplasma activity, one measure of macrophage activation [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Mycobacterium bovis

  • Thus, during BCG infection, the B10.A (Bcgr) mice mount an early IFN-gamma response against BCG whereas the B10.A (Bcgs) mice have a delayed IFN-gamma response correlating with their genetic permissiveness expressed as an increased mycobacterial load by day 21 [6].
 

High impact information on Mycobacterium bovis

  • As compared with intravesical doxorubicin, immunotherapy with BCG provides improved protection against the recurrence of superficial bladder cancer [1].
  • We have found that the eukaryotic-like fas1 gene (encoding fatty acid synthetase I, FASI) from M. avium, M. bovis BCG or M. tuberculosis confers resistance to 5-Cl-PZA when present on multi-copy vectors in M. smegmatis [7].
  • Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) was first described as a factor in the serum of mice injected with tubercle bacilli (BCG) and several days later with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) [8].
  • OBJECTIVE: To determine whether BCG vaccination and age at BCG vaccination are associated with development of atopy [9].
  • CONCLUSIONS: For all study participants, as well as for those being screened for LTBI, the IFN-gamma assay was comparable with the TST in its ability to detect LTBI, was less affected by BCG vaccination, discriminated responses due to nontuberculous mycobacteria, and avoided variability and subjectivity associated with placing and reading the TST [10].

Gene context of Mycobacterium bovis

  • Histological examination at 2 and 6 wk after BCG inoculation showed that livers of IFN-gamma R0/0 mice had higher numbers of acid-fast bacteria than wild-type mice, especially at 6 wk [25].
  • Myeloproliferation in BXH-2 mice is concomitant to increased susceptibility to Mycobacterium bovis (BCG) despite the presence of resistance alleles at the Nramp1 locus [26].
  • We have constructed a novel breast cancer vaccine, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-hIL2MUC1, that consists of BCG and expresses a truncated form of MUC1 and human interleukin (IL)-2 [27].
  • However, we and others observed that mice suffering from a bacterial infection, such as Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), or bearing i.m. some types of tumor, develop a hypersensitivity to the IL-6-inducing and lethal properties of hTNF [28].
  • These findings infer that the essential minimal requirement for TLR2/4-mediated adjuvancy of BCG lies within a modified MDP [29].
