Experimental allergic thyroiditis in rats: suppression by heterologous (rabbit) anti-lymphocyte sera to lymph node, thymic and splenic lymphocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY Heterologous (rabbit) anti-lymphocyte sera, raised by immunization with rat lymph node, thymic and splenic lymphocytes, have been shown to be of equal potency in suppressing experimental allergic thyroiditis in rats sensitized to allogeneic thyroid-adjuvant emulsion and pertussis vaccine.

Histopathological Effects in Mice of Heterologous Antilymphocyte Serum
The effects of heterologous rabbit anti-mouse lymphocyte antiserum on the morphology of lymphoid and other tissues was investigated in CBA mice. The lymphoid tissues exhibited characteristic changes specific for ALS treatment, which were an invariable accompaniment to its immunosuppressive effects. These consisted of peripheral lymphopenia occurring at some time during a course of ALS treatment...
متن کاملSuppression of Adjuvant Disease in the Rat by Heterologous Antilymphocyte Globulin
The effect of antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) on adjuvant arthritis, an immunologically induced disease in the rat, was studied. ALG was prepared from the serum of rabbits immunized against rat lymphocytes. Adjuvant arthritis was induced in rats by a single intracutaneous injection of Freund's complete adjuvant; after 9 to 12 days, all control rats developed polyarthritis. Administration of antil...
متن کاملThe Use of Specific "lymphocyte" Antisera to Inhibit Hypersensitive Reactions of the "delayed" Type
Rabbit antisera against normal guinea pig lymph node, when injected into guinea pigs, produced transient depression of the level of blood lymphocytes. It had no effect on other circulating cellular elements. Repeated injection over several days produced lymphopenia, which became progressively less marked with continued treatment, and clear-cut depletion of small lymphocytes in lymph nodes, whet...

A method is described whereby antisera raised in rabbits to rat thoracic duct lymphocytes were made specific for the plasma membrane antigens of T and B lymphocytes. These lymphocyte-specific antisera were used in immunofluorescence assays to study the distribution of B and T cells in lymphocyte containing tissues and body fluids of the rat. Rabbit antirat B-cell serum (ALS(B)) reacted selectiv...

Rabbits were immunized in the footpad with diphtheria toxoid in complete Freund's adjuvant. At various times after immunization, cells harvested from the spleen, the draining (immune) and the opposing (control) lymph nodes (LN) were assayed for their proliferative response to incorporate tritiated thymidine upon exposure to the priming antigen. Although the immune LN cells responded by a substa...
