Cytometric Assay of Toxicity of Brucella Antigens for Sensitized and Non-sensitized Cells from the Guinea Pig
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. A significant cytotoxic effect of trypsinized, sensitized cell cultures was observed when re-exposed to Brucella antigens in vitro. 2. The cytometric assay of the toxic effects of Brucella antigens using trypsinized cells from sensitized animals provides an objective measure of induced cellular hypersensitivity.

Carvacrol attenuates serum levels of total protein, phospholipase A2 and histamine in asthmatic guinea pig
Objective: Pharmacological effects of carvacrol such as its anti-inflammatory activities have been shows. In this study the effects of carvacrol on serum levels of total protein (TP), phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and histamine in sensitized guinea pigs was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Sensitized guinea pigs were given drinking water alone (group S), drinking water containing three concentration...
متن کاملIsolation of substances responsible for lymphokine activity from sensitized mouse spleen cells.
Cultures of brucella-sensitized mouse spleen cells exposed to Brucella abortus antigens in vitro release macrophage migration inhibition factor (MIF) and macrophage spreading factor. Subjecting the supernatants from such cultures to preparative scale electrophoresis in acrylamide gel yields several fractions, one of which contains both MIF and macrophage spreading factor. This material has prop...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Effect of Onosma Bracteatum Wall (Boraginaceae) On Bronchial Hyperreactivity in Sensitized Guinea Pigs
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. The available treatment options have major limitations owing to low efficacy, associated adverse events and compliance issues. Therefore, the health burden of bronchial asthma is increasing globally at an alarming rate, providing a strong impetus for the development of new therapeutics. Onosma bracteatum ( O. bracteatum ) is know...
متن کاملThe effect of natural adjuvants (G2, G2F) on lung inflammation of sensitized guinea pigs
Objective: The effects of natural adjuvants were examined on total and differential WBC counts in lung lavage of sensitized guinea pigs. Materials and Methods: In three sensitized groups of guinea pigs including: untreated sensitized animals (S), sensitized animals treated with adjuvant G2 (S+G2) and G2F (S+G2F) as well as non-sensitized group (C) (n=6 for each group), total and differential WB...
متن کاملSuppression of severe airway inflammation with non-toxic dietary nutrients in histamine-challenged guinea pigs: A comparison with Ibuprofen
We hypothesize that selected combinations of nutrients commonly encountered in the human diet, suppress asthma-associated airway inflammation more effectively than currently available anti-inflammatory medications. Here we demonstrate that biflavones and terpenes, distributed widely in human diet (in this case derived from Ginkgo biloba) synergize with the carotenoid antioxidant astaxanthin and...
