Resumo
O ensaio imunoenzimático de ELISA foi utilizado para avaliar, acompanhar e comparar a resposta imune humoral de camundongos SWISS durante o processo de hiperimunização com veneno nativo e irradiado com Cobalto-60 (60Co) obtido das serpentes Crotalus durissus terrificus, Bothrops jararaca, Bothrops jararacussu e Bothrops moojeni. A potência e a capacidade de neutralização foram avaliadas por meio de desafios “in vitro”. A imunidade obtida ao final do processo de hiperimunização foi verificada mediante desafio “in vivo” e os efeitos colaterais foram avaliados. A imunização dos animais, com uma DL50 de cada veneno, ocorreu nos dias um, 15, 21, 30 e 45, quando foram colhidas amostras de sangue. No 60º dia ocorreram os desafios. Os resultados demonstraram que o teste de ELISA mostrou-se eficiente na avaliação, acompanhamento e comparação da resposta imune dos camundongos durante o processo de hiperimunização. Os títulos do soro produzido com veneno nativo foram semelhantes aos títulos do soro obtido com veneno irradiado. A capacidade imunogênica foi mantida após a irradiação com 60Co. O soro produzido a partir do veneno irradiado de Crotalus durissus terrificus apresentou potência e capacidade de neutralização maiores, quando comparado ao soro obtido a partir do veneno nativo.Os anticorpos antiveneno nativo e irradiado, mediante os desafios “in vitro”, mostraram-se igualmente eficazes na neutralização dos venenos de Bothrops jararaca, Bothrops jararacussu e Bothrops. Todos anticorpos foram capazes de neutralizar cinco DL50 dos respectivos venenos. As alterações clínicas foram mínimas durante o processo de hiperimunização com veneno irradiado e evidentes com veneno bruto.
ELISA was used to evaluate, follow, and compare the humoral immune response of Swiss mice during hyperimmunization with natural and Cobalt-60- irradiated (60Co) Crotalus durissus terrificus, Bothrops jararaca, Bothrops jararacussu, and Bothrops moojeni venoms. Potency and neutralization were evaluated by in vitro challenges. After hyperimmunization, immunity was observed by in vivo challenge and the side effects were assessed. The animals’ immunization with one LD50 of each venom was on days one, 15, 21, 30, and 45, when blood samples were collected; the challenges occurred on the 60th day. Results showed that ELISA was efficient in evaluating, following, and comparing mouse immune response during hyperimmunization. Serum titers produced with natural venom were similar to those with irradiated venom. Immunogenic capacity was maintained after 60Co irradiation. Serum produced from Crotalus durissus terrificus irradiated venom showed higher potency and neutralization capacity than that from natural venom. Antibodies from natural and irradiated venom by in vitro challenges were also efficient in neutralizing Bothrops jararaca, Bothrops jararacussu, and Bothrops moojeni venoms. All antibodies were capable of neutralizing five LD50 from these venoms. Clinical alterations were minimum during hyperimmunization with irradiated venom and evident with natural venom.
