According to the data of the enzyme immunoassay, adhesion pili were expressed by Y. pestis cells EB76 after their cultivation in media with pH similar to that of phagolysosomes. The expression of adhesion pili was found to occur 18 hours after the contact of apiliate cells EB76 with a monolayer of native, but not inactivated (at 56 degrees C for 30 minutes) macrophages of the peritoneal exudate of white mice and guinea pigs. Purified adhesion pili possessed cytotoxic action and inhibited the digestive activity of macrophages with respect to Y. pestis. The formation of pili in interaction with macrophages and the pronounced effect of the preparations of purified pili on the function of phagocytes make it possible to regard the formation of pili as an important determinant of virulence. |
