Sites of clearance of leucocyte pyrogen in the rabbit.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The dose-response curve for sustained infusions of leucocyte pyrogen has been demonstrated, and an optimum dose indicated for leucocyte pyrogen clearance experiments. 2. The lungs, liver and small bowel are not significantly involved in removal of leucocyte pyrogen from the circulation in conscious rabbits. 3. A single circulation through one kidney removes up to half of the infused dose of leucocyte pyrogen.

Endotoxin Contamination of Large Volume Parenterals as Detected by Limulus Amebocyte Lysate as an Alternative to Rabbit Pyrogen Test
The possibility of replacing the rabbit pyrogen test by the Limulus Amebocyte lysate (LAL) test, as a final release test for Large Volume Parenterals (LVPs) was investigated. The sensitivity and specificity of the LAL test and rabbit pyrogen assay were studied by means of artificially contaminated parenterals. Various LVPs (mostly containing electrolytes) were spiked with 0.5 and 5 EUlml o...
متن کاملStudies on the mechanism of endogenous pyrogen production. I. Investigation of new protein synthesis in stimulated human blood leucocytes.
In many experimental models of fever, the release of an endogenous pyrogen from cells of the host in response to the appropriate stimulus has been implicated in the pathogenesis of the fever.1 This material, first identified in extracts of rabbit leucocytes,' is now known to be released from several different leucocyte types, of various species including man, and in response to a number of diff...
متن کاملThe Presence of Endogenous Pyrogen in Normal Rabbit Tissues
Saline extracts of homogenized, uninfected, rabbit tissues produced febrile responses when injected intravenously into rabbits. Extracts of muscle, lung, and heart evoked fevers that were similar to those induced by leucocyte pyrogen; extracts of spleen, liver, and kidney caused more sustained fevers. The minimal pyrogenic dose appeared to be between 1.5 and 3 gm wet weight of tissue. Evidence ...
متن کاملComparison of endogenous pyrogens from human and rabbit leucocytes utilizing Sephadex filtration.
A fever-producing substance derived from rabbit exudate leucocytes was first described in 1953 by Bennett and Beeson.' The subsequent demonstration of pyrogens with similar biologic properties derived from other variously stimulated leucocytes' or present in the blood of febrile rabbits7 has led to the concept of a single pyrogenic substance, termed endogenous pyrogen. Most investigations of th...
متن کاملLack of effect of salicylate on pyrogen release from human blood leucocytes in vitro.
Although salicylates are widely used as antipyretic agents, the mechanism by which they lower body temperature is controversial. It has been suggested that these compounds act at peripheral sites of inflammation, by suppressing release of endogenous pyrogen from leucocytes exposed to an inflammatory stimulus (1), or by suppressing synthesis and release of fever-inducing prostaglandins (2, 3). A...
