Blastomyces dermatitidis Vaccination and Challenge

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The wild-type virulent strain of Blastomyces dermatitidis was purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC; strain #26199). The isogenic, attenuated mutant lacking BAD1 (strain #55) was used for all vaccinations[38 (link)]. Isolates of B. dermatitidis were cultured and maintained as yeast on Middlebrook 7H10 agar with oleic acid-albumin complex (Sigma-Aldrich) at 39°C. Mice were vaccinated with B. dermatitidis strain #55 (~5 x 105cfu) subcutaneously at two sites, dorsally and at the base of tail. For challenge studies, the virulent B. dermatitidis strain #26199 (~104 cfu) was inoculated intratracheally. To ennumerate fungal burden, lung tissue was homogenized and plated on brain heart infusion (BHI; Difco) agar.

Virulent B. dermatitidis Strains for Vaccination

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild-type virulent B. dermatitidis strain 26199 was purchased from ATCC. An isogenic attenuated mutant lacking BAD-I (strain #55) and recombinant #55 strain carrying the OT-I epitope SIINFEKL were also used for vaccination (below). Isolates were maintained as yeast on Middlebrook 7H10 agar with oleic acid-albumin complex (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) at 39°C.

B. dermatitidis strains used were American Type Culture
Collection (ATCC) 26199, a wild type virulent strain, and the isogenic,
attenuated mutant lacking BAD1, designated strain 55 (11 (link)). Isolates of B. dermatitidiswere maintained as yeast on Middlebrook 7H10 agar with oleic acidalbumin complex
(Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO) at 39°C.

Blastomyces dermatitidis Virulent and Attenuated Strains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The wild-type virulent strain of Blastomyces dermatitidis is obtained from American Type Culture Collection, #26199. The isogenic strain #55, an attenuated mutant lacking BAD1 (kindly provided by Bruce Klein, UW-Madison), was used for vaccination. Isolates of both strains were maintained as yeast on Middlebrook 7H10 agar supplemented with oleic acid-albumin complex (Sigma-Aldrich) at 39°C.

B. dermatitidis strains used were American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 26199, a wild type virulent strain, and the isogenic, attenuated mutant lacking BAD1, designated strain #55 (39 (link)). Isolates of B. dermatitidis were maintained as yeast on Middlebrook 7H10 agar with oleic acid-albumin complex (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO) at 39°C. H. capsulatum strain G217B (generously provided by George S. Deepe, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH) was maintained on Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) slants supplemented with 5% sheep blood at 37°C. C. posadasii isolate C735 is a virulent, human clinical strain that was used to generate a live, attenuated vaccine strain (ΔT) by deleting the chitinases 2, 3 and D-arabinotol-2-dehydrogenase genes as previously described (3 ). The saprobic phase of both the parental and mutant strains were grown on GYE medium (1% glucose, 0.5% yeast extract, 1.5% agar) at 30°C for 3–4 weeks to generate a confluent layer of arthroconidia (spores) on the agar surface. Formalin-killed endosporulated spherules of C. posadasii were generated as described (40 (link)).

Vaccination against Blastomyces and Histoplasma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild-type virulent strains of Blastomyces dermatitidis (#26199) and Histoplasma capsulatum (G217B) were obtained from ATCC. The isogenic attenuated strain of Blastomyces lacking the virulence factor BAD1 (#55) (23 (link)) was used for vaccination (105-106 CFU). Blastomyces was maintained as yeast on Middlebrook 7H10 agar supplemented with Oleic acid-albumin complex (Sigma) at 39° C. To measure OT-I T cell responses, recombinant #55 strain engineered to carry the OT-I epitope, SIINFEKL, was used for vaccination (106 CFUs) (19 (link)). Histoplasma capsulatum was maintained on Histoplasma Macrophage Medium (HMM) slants and used for vaccination (107 CFU). To study vaccine resistance, mice were challenged intratracheally (i.t.) with ~104 CFUs of virulent strain B. dermatitidis (#26199). Vaccinations were given subcutaneously (s.c.), divided at two sites, one dorsally and one at the base of tail (3 (link), 24 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
