Cellular Reactions to Tuberculo-proteins Compared with the Reactions to Tuberculo-lipids
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Tuberculo-protein in solution induces the formation of monocytes in the normal animal and tubercles of epithelioid cells in that which is tuberculous. 2. Freshly precipitated tuberculo-proteins from the culture media and from the bacilli induce a moderate formation of epithelioid cells in normal animals, and more in the tuberculous. 3. Insoluble forms of tuberculo-protein induce complex tubercular tissue in normal animals. This action is enhanced in the tuberculous.

Reactions of Normal and Tuberculous Animals to Tuberculo-protein and Tuberculo-phosphatide
Prior observations on the cellular reactions to tuberculo-phosphatide are confirmed and compared with reactions induced by this material in tuberculous animals. In the latter the response is accelerated and augmented and simulates the Koch phenomenon. Tuberculo-protein produces no macroscopic reaction in normal animals. The microscopic reaction of neutrophiles and monocytes regresses in less th...
متن کاملCellular Reactions to Tuberculo-proteins
We have been studying the cellular reactions to different preparations of tuberculo-protein. In accordance with the plans of the Research Committee of the National Tuberculosis Association, of which Dr. William Charles White is Chairman, all of the tubercle bacilli used for this study were grown on a liquid synthetic medium entirely free from protein. In this way none of the preparations was co...
متن کاملTubercular Allergy without Infection
1. Guinea pigs can be rendered hypersensitive to tuberculo-protein by small, repeated, intradermal injections of active tuberculo-protein. 2. The addition of tuberculo-phosphatide to the protein speeds up the process of sensitization and enhances it so that the reactions become indurated and necrotic, closely simulating those of the disease. 3. Active tuberculo-proteins induce a new formation o...
متن کاملCellular Reactions in the Meninges of Rabbits to Tuberculo-lipoid, Protein, and Polysaccharide, Compared with the Effects of Tubercle Bacilli
1. Both living and dead tubercle bacilli, as well as tuberculophosphatide, give rise to lesions in which the same type of cell is found, a cell which may prove characteristic of the meningeal reaction. After the phosphatide this cell is produced by the phagocytosis of lipoidal material. The vacuoles of these cells are slowly broken into smaller and smaller size until they correspond to the type...
متن کاملA Study of the Toxic Properties of Tuberculo-proteins and Polysaccharides
The temperature reaction in tuberculous and normal guinea pigs and rabbits is elicited by the tuberculo-protein and probably not at all by the polysaccharides. The polysaccharides may have some killing power under certain conditions, but this is not as consistently related to dosage as in the case of the proteins. Both proteins and polysaccharides cause a change in the white blood cells when in...
