BackgroundCoxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the etiologic agent of Q fever; both coxiella outer membrane protein 1 (Com1) and heat shock protein B (HspB) are its major immunodominant antigens. It is not clear whether Com1 and HspB have the ability to mount immune responses against C. burnetii infection.ResultsThe recombinant proteins Com1 and HspB were applied to pulse human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (HMDCs), and the pulsed HMDCs were used to stimulate isogenic…

The results suggest that the protective OmpBs could activateCD4+ and CD8+ T cells and drive their differentiation toward CD4+ Th1 and CD 8+ Tcl cells, respectively, which produce greater amounts of TNF-α and, in particular, IFN-γ, to enhance rickettsicidal activity of host cells.

The Effect of C. burnetii Infection on the Cytokine Response of PBMCs from Pregnant Goats
- BiologyPloS one
- 2014
It is shown that goats initiate a robust pro-inflammatory immune response against C. burnetii in vitro, and PBMCs from C.Burnetii infected goats show augmented pro- inflammatory cytokine responses compared to PBMCS from non-infected goats, however, despite this pro- inflammation, goats are not capable of clearing the C.burnetii infection.

Evidence indicates that infected DCs are not sufficiently activated, do not undergo maturation and do not produce expected proinflammatory cytokines, which indicates that pathogenic intracellular bacteria can subvert DC function and gain the advantage of an ineffective host immune reaction.

It is suggested that PIIAg is far superior to PIAg in activating BMDCs to confer protection against C. burnetii in vivo, whereas Com1 and SecB are protective antigens because Com1- or SecB-pulsed BM DCs confer partial protection.
