In vitro stimulation of bovine peripheral blood lymphocytes: comparison of round- and flat-bottom microtiter plates for detection of tuberculin hypersensitivity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lymphocytes from Mycobacterium bovis-sensitized and normal cattle were cultured in round- and/or flat-bottom microtiter plates and stimulated with M. bovis purified protein derivative (PPD) tuberculin. Blastogenic responses of lymphocytes from M. bovis-sensitized cattle to PPD cultured in round-bottom plates were significantly greater than those of lymphocytes cultured in flat-bottom microtiter plates. Normal lymphocytes of nonsensitized cattle were not stimulated by PPD in either round- or flat-bottom microtiter plates. Kinetics of lymphocyte responses in round-bottom plates are presented.

Lymphocyte Proliferation and Gamma - Interferon Production after “ in Vitro ” Stimulation with PPD *
T-lymphocytes previously sensitized by an antigen undergo blastic transformation and produce IFN’r when stimulated by the same antigen. We studied the lymphoblastic response to PPD and IFNT production in pleural fluid and peripheral blood of 41 patients (15 with tuberculosis pleural effusion, 13 with nontuberculous pleurisy and positive tuberculin skin test, and 13 with tuberculin-negative nont...

This in vitro study was conducted to evaluate lymphocyte blastogenic and cytokine production by bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and concanavalin A (Con A) mitogens, by using tetrazolium salt and ELISA tests, respectively. The results presented that Interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-17 and IFN-...

In this research we have studied the effects of extremely low frequency magnetic field on the peripheral blood lymphocytes chromosomes of human in vitro and rat in vivo. By this means, we used 60 blood samples of 10 men as well as 40 rats. Of 60 human blood samples ,40 samples (in two group of 20) were selected as test groups and placed into the 2 mT and 35 Hz magnetic field. The blood samples,...
متن کاملA new lymphocyte proliferation assay for potency determination of bovine tuberculin PPDs.
The tuberculin skin test is the method of choice for tuberculosis surveillance in livestock ruminants. The exact definition of the biological activity of bovine tuberculin purified protein derivatives (bovine tuberculin PPDs) is essential for the reliability of a test system. PPDs consist of heterogeneous mixtures of mycobacterial antigens, making it difficult to determine their potency in vitr...
متن کاملDevelopment of a human gamma interferon enzyme immunoassay and comparison with tuberculin skin testing for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
A sensitive two-step simultaneous enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for human gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) has been developed and used as an in vitro test for human tuberculosis (TB) in comparison with tuberculin skin testing. The EIA was shown to be highly sensitive, detecting less than 0.5 IU of recombinant human IFN-gamma per ml within a linear detection range of 0.5 to 150 IU/ml. The assay was highl...
