Protective effect of tissue ferritins in experimental Escherichia coli infection of mice in vivo.

The effect of ferritins from horse (FH) and bovine (FB) spleen and murine liver (FM) on the survival rate of CFW mice lethally infected with Escherichia coli (strain 8440-78 K 80/B) was evaluated. Ferritins given intravenously 24 h before intravenous inoculation of bacteria, protected mice most effectively from death due to infection. The effect was dose dependent. At 500 micrograms of ferritin per mouse, the maximum survival rates were 86% (FH), 81% (FM) and 79% (FB), while only 5% of the control mice survived up to the 30th day. The survival rates of animals injected with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and heat-inactivated FB were 8 and 25%, respectively. Intraperitoneal injection of FB was as effective as intravenous in enhancing the resistance of mice against bacteria. These data provide evidence for the beneficial role of tissue ferritins in nonspecific antibacterial resistance.
