Resistance in C57BL\/6 can be further increased by intraperitoneal injection of living, but not killed, promastigotes prior to cutaneous challenge. Severely diseased BALB\/c mice can show resistance to development of a second cutaneous lesion but apparently only in the advanced stages of systemic life\u2010threatening disease. A striking level of resistance to persistent disease has been demonstrated in BALB\/c.H\u20102<jats:sup>b<\/jats:sup> mice pre\u2010injected with frozen and thawed <jats:italic>L. t. major<\/jats:italic>\u2010infected macrophages of the continuous macrophage cell line IC\u201021 (H\u20102<jats:sup>b<\/jats:sup>) together with <jats:italic>Corynebacterium parvum<\/jats:italic>. No resistance is seen in recipients of either <jats:italic>C. parvum<\/jats:italic> or the crude antigen mixture alone. Protection is afforded by intraperitoneal and <jats:italic>not<\/jats:italic> subcutaneous injection of crude antigen plus adjuvant. In these vaccination studies all evidence points to the infected macrophage as the most appropriate source of \u2018host\u2010protective\u2019 antigens as well as being the most likely target of host\u2010protective immunity. Resistance is expressed in vaccinated mice as minimal signs of cutaneous disease and rapid resolution of any small lesions which do develop. Frozen and thawed promastigotes plus C. parvum will not induce resistance to persistent disease in BALB\/c H\u20102<jats:sup>b<\/jats:sup> mice and preincubation of promastigotes with sera from resistant vaccinated mice does not influence their capacity to cause cutaneous disease. The results provide baseline data for vaccination attempts in genetically susceptible hosts using isolated <jats:italic>L. t major<\/jats:italic> antigens (and, in particular, infected macrophage antigens) and highlight the utility of the intraperitoneal route of injection and the use of the therapeutic biological, <jats:italic>C. parvum<\/jats:italic>, as an adjuvant in such studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/icb.1983.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,8,13]],"date-time":"2007-08-13T13:04:13Z","timestamp":1187010253000},"page":"11-25","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["<i>LEISHMANIA TROPICA MAJOR<\/i> IN MICE: VACCINATION AGAINST CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS IN MICE OF HIGH GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Graham F","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Immunoparasitology, The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research Melbourne Victoria 3050 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emanuela","family":"Handman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Immunoparasitology, The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research Melbourne Victoria 3050 Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1983,2]]},"container-title":["Australian Journal of Experimental Biology and Medical Science"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1038%2Ficb.1983.2","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/icb19832","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/icb19832.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1038\/icb.1983.2","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"},{"URL":"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/icb19832.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,29]],"date-time":"2023-09-29T13:20:13Z","timestamp":1695993613000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1038\/icb.1983.2"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1983,2]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1983,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1038\/icb.1983.2"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/icb.1983.2","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0818-9641"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0818-9641","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1983,2]]}}}
