Abstract

ABSTRACT Formation of anti- Toxoplasma gondii HSP70 (TgHSP70) antibody cross-reactive to mouse HSP70 (mHSP70) was observed in the sera of BALB/c (a resistant strain) and C57BL/6 (B6; a susceptible strain) mice after peroral infection with T. gondii cysts of the Fukaya strain. The levels of anti-mHSP70 immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibody production in B6 mice were higher than those in BALB/c mice. The isotype and subclass of IgG of anti-TgHSP70 monoclonal antibodies cross-reactive to mHSP70 were μ and γ3. Anti-mHSP70 autoantibody in T. gondii -infected BALB/c and B6 mice was shown to be produced by the CD5 + subset of B cells (B-1a cells) but not by conventional B cells (B-2 cells). The epitopes recognized by anti-mHSP70 autoantibody were located primarily in the C-terminal fragment of mHSP70.
