Suppression of cell-mediated immunity in experimental African trypanosomiasis.
Adult New Zealand white rabbits were experimentally infected with a parasitic African hemoflagellate, Trypanosoma congolense, and were subsequently tested for in vivo and in vitro aspects of cell-mediated immune function. Chronically infected rabbits were sensitized to mycobacterial protein and skin-tested with purified protein derivative; all infected animals demonstrated much milder skin-test...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN MUSTARD GAS INJURIES
Yamakido, et al. in 1986 have studied immunological parameters in poison gas workers, and a depression has been observed in immunologic response. Also, the frequency of cancer has reached as high as five-fold that of the general population. In the present study, cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was measured in three groups of Iranian mustard gas-injured patients. The first group were those wh...
متن کاملEffects of stimulation and suppression of cell-mediated immunity on experimental cryptococcosis.
A model of cryptococcosis was developed using intraperitoneal infections of guinea pigs. This model shared characteristics with cryptococcosis in humans and was used to study the effects of immunosuppression and immunostimulation on cryptococcosis. Female guniea pigs survived longer than males; perphaps this was related to a greater capacity of their monocytes to kill cryptococci. A brief cours...
متن کاملEVA LUATION OF THE ROLE OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN DERMATOPHYTOSIS
For demonstration of cell-mediated immunity and its role in the process of dermatophytosis, 98 patients with acute dermatophytosis (group I) and 131 chronic dermatophytosis patients (group 2) were chosen. In ail patients, lymphocyte transfonnation and skin test were used. 96 members of group I (98%) had positive delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to trichophytin, whereas only 43 ...
متن کاملAfrican trypanosomiasis
African trypanosomiasis remains a serious health concern across large areas of sub-Saharan Africa, despite several decades of research. As well as causing sleeping sickness in humans, trypanosomes are responsible for significant disease in livestock. The combination of human and livestock disease makes these parasites a serious impediment to agricultural and economic advancement in the affected...
