[Immunobiological properties of Yersinia pestis antigens]
Abstract:
The present review contains information concerning immunobiological properties of plague microbe antigens. All of the identified antigens are evaluated in relation to pathogenicity of Yersinia pestis namely a resistance to phagocytosis, toxicity, adhesiveness etc. as well as persistence ability and adaptation to variable environment. In addition, the role of antigens in immunogenicity of living plague microbe for experimental animals is considered. The data concerning mechanisms of antigenic contribution to the development of adaptive immunity are presented.
