چکیده

1. Adult (A x C(57)Bl/1)F(1) hybrids regularly show runt disease when injected with adult spleen cells from A strain donors. This also occurs when A strain spleen cells are administered to adult C(3)H mice made tolerant of A strain tissue in the neonatal period. 2. Mice undergoing the graft versus host reaction fail to form antibodies to an intraperitoneal challenge of T(2) bacteriophage. This phenomenon was observed well before any of the other overt signs of runting had occurred. Further, inhibition of antibody production to T(2) phage by graft versus host reaction initiated at an interval following antigenic stimulation is demonstrated. 3. The basis for the immunologic incompetence of the host with respect to T(2) phage is presumed to be the attack of immunologically competent donor cells on the lymphoid cells of the recipient. 4. The failure of the injected parent strain cells to respond to the antigen used may imply immunologic commitment of these cells.

The Nature of the Immunologic Inadequacy of Neonatal Rabbits as Revealed by Cell

It is generally accepted that the immunologic mechanisms of the neonatal animal are poorly developed and in some instances virtually non-existent. This immunologic inadequacy early in life has been related both to the limited ability of the neonatal animal to synthesize gamma globulin and to the immunologic inexperience of the organism. However, it has not been determined whether the underlying...

Immunological Studies of Hunting Syndrome in Rats Inoculated with Friend Virus

While rats given neonatal injections of high doses of Friend virus grew up as apparently normal rats (Friend virus-tolerant rats), most rats given low neonatal doses of Friend virus died from the development of the runting syndrome (runted rats). At the transplantation of Friend virus-induced tumor (WFT-3), all tolerant rats died from the growth of the WFT-3 cells, while some of the rats that h...

Studies on Immunologic Reconstitution of Thymectomized Mice

1. Immunologic function, growth, and longevity of neonatally thymectomized mice was restored by intraperitoneal administration of 100 to 400 million syngeneic, hemiallogeneic, or ailogeneic thymus cells from newborn or adult donors. Assays of the graft versus host capabilities of spleen cells from the animals restored with allogeneic cells showed that their immunologically competent cells are o...

Immunologic Evaluation of DNA Vaccine Encoding Influenza Virus M2 Gene in Type A- Influenza Mice Model

Abstract Background and Objective: The M2 gene expressing the conserved protein in influenza virus can be used to make a single-dose vaccine with permanent immunity. Material and Methods: The mice were allocated to one case group immunized with pcDNA3-M2 and two control groups with pcDNA and PBS, in three dozes with interval of two weeks. Two weeks after the last injection, Cellular imm...
