چکیده

The effect of three membrane-stabilizing agents, chlorpromazine, imipramine, and lidocain, on in vitro activation of cellular responses was studied using the one-way MLR. Cellular activation was found to be depressed by these drugs. However, the degree of suppression paralleled the decline of viable cells in the cultures. It is concluded that drug-induced inhibition of MLR was due solely to the toxicity of the compounds.

IN VITRO STUDY OF AN ENDOGENOUS IMMUNOSUPPRESSOR FACTOR DERIVED FROM HUMAN OR BOVINE SERUM

The effects of the human and bovine LSF (derived from sera) as well as their purified fractions were studied on murine lymphocytes reactions indicated by blast transformation (BT) assay, mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) and IgG synthesis. The results indicated that bovine lipid suppressor factor (LSF) has significant immunosuppressive activity on lymphocytes proliferation both in BT and MLC ...

EFFECT OF TOXOCARA CANIS SECOND STAGE LARVAE ON THE HOST IMMUNE SYSTEM

We have studied functional alteration of immunocytes in mice following inoculation of Toxocara canis second stage larvae. Results indicated depression of lymphocyte blastogenesis in response to concanavalin-A, phytohemagglutinin and allogeneic non B-cells; however, B-cell polyclonal activation was not affected as indicated by the production of total IgG. In contrast, frequency of antibody ...

An In Vitro Assay to Evaluate the Immunomodulatory Effects of Unrestricted Somatic Stem Cells

Background: Unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSC) are cord blood stem cells that have been considered as candidates for the regulation of immune responses. Therefore, potential exists for their use in the suppression of immune response after transplantation surgery. Objective: The aim of this study was evaluation of the effect of USSC on mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) as a model for graft rej...
