چکیده

The interaction of normal, tumor-bearing, nonspecifically sensitized, and immunized syngeneic lymphocytes and the B16 melanoma was tested in vivo by experimental pulmo nary métastases. Various numbers of lymphocytes were mixed and incu bated with the tumor cells for 90 min on a rotating platform, and then the mixtures were injected i.v. into C57BL/6 mice. Normal, tumor-bearing, and nonspecifically sensitized lym phocytes mixed with tumor cells significantly increased the incidence of experimental metastasis. On the other hand, a high number (5000:1) of immunized syngeneic lympho cytes mixed with the B16 melanoma cells brought about a dramatic decrease in the incidence of subsequent pulmonary métastases. Following the in vitro incubation of tumor cells with syngeneic lymphocytes, clumping of tumor cells was observed. The relative importance of this clumping phenom enon to the outcome of experimental metastasis is dis cussed. Mice that were either immunized against the B16 mela noma or thymectomized and X-irradiated demonstrated a significant decrease in incidence of experimental pulmonary metastasis following i.v. injection of tumor cells as com pared to normal, thymectomized. or X-irradiated mice. The decrease in pulmonary métastasesin thymectomized Xirradiated mice was completely reversible with i.v. injection of 1 x IO7syngeneic tumor-bearing lymphocytes adminis

Introduction: It has been suggested that targeted therapy of growth and immune factors may lead to more effective inhibition of tumor proliferation and recurrence in melanoma cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of interval training and consumption of Urtica dioica hydroalcoholic extract on Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (...

The Effect of Inhibition of Dopamine D2 Receptors on Some of the Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of the Rat under Food restriction

Background & Objective: In previous studies, the effects of food restriction on the changes in immune responses and brain dopamine content have been determined. On the other hand, it has been shown that immune cells, in addition to dopamine production, also have dopamine receptors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of inhibition of D2 dopamine receptors on several functions o...
