Abstract

SUMMARY: The sensitizing effect and the local and general toxicity related to membrane components of the archaeobacterium was studied. Cell envelope fragments were biologically active but this activity was lost upon separation of the lipid and protein components. The envelope fragments exerted lethal effects on mice sensitized with D-galactosamine that were prevented by pretreatment with anti-TNF-α serum. This lethal activity occurred in both LPS-responder (BALB/cByJ) and LPS-nonresponder (C3H/HeJ) mouse strains. In addition, envelope fragments tested in rabbits caused a local Shwartzman reaction, and showed pyrogenic activity. , the envelope fragments that act on spleen lymphocytes of the LPS-responder (BALB/cByJ) and LPS-nonresponder (C3H/HeJ) mice caused an uptake of [H]thymidine similar to that caused by concanavalin A. A similar toxic activity to that exerted by eubacteria is therefore exerted by this non-pathogenic archaeobacterium despite the difference in surface chemistry.
