Alveolar macrophage-lymphocyte rosette formation: failure of levamisole to alter activity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Levamisole, an anthelminthic agent with immunostimulatory properties, does not alter in vitro macrophage-lymphocyte rosette formation between sheep alveolar macrophages and autochthonous lymphocytes.

Interference of levamisole with inhibition of E-rosette formation by Hodgkin's disease and systemic lupus erythematosus cytotoxic sera.
A new system has been used to test the influence of levamisole on T-cell function. Evidence has been produced that prior exposure to the drug "protects" normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes from the inhibition that cytotoxic sera from patients with Hodgkin's disease and systemic lupus erythematosus exhibit on their E-rosette-forming capacity. Also, damage of this T-cell function already in...
متن کاملAppearance of rosette-forming macrophages in the lungs of influenza virus-infected mice.
Approximately one fifth of the macrophages obtained from the lungs of mice infected 2 to 5 days with influenza A/HK virus were found to rosette well with either unmodified human, chicken, or guinea pig erythrocytes, but not with erythrocytes from hamsters, sheep, or mice. Rosette-forming macrophages were seldom seen in suspensions from uninfected mice (3+/-3%) or mice infected 24 h previously (...
متن کاملComparison of monocyte and alveolar macrophage antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and Fc-receptor activity.
The cytotoxic potential of rabbit peripheral blood monocytes and alveolar macrophages in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) toward both erytbrocyte (RB&) and tumor cell (CEM T-lymphoblast) targets was examined. ADCC was measured in a 4-hr “Crrelease assay. Alveolar macrophages were more efficient at killing the tumor cell targets (optimally sensitized with rabbit antisera) than mon...
متن کاملHETEROGENEITY OF MACROPHAGE POPULATIONS: ANTIBODIES DETECTING VARIOUS POPULATIONS OF MACROPHAGES
Two groups of antibodies against mouse resident alveolar and peritoneal macrophages have been raised individually in rabbits by immunization with whole cell suspensions of lavaged alveolar and peritoneal macrophages. The whole antisera reacted positively with neutrophils and lymphocytes. However, upon extensive absorptions with these cells the activity became restricted to macrophages. The...
متن کاملEffect of rifampin, levamisole, and cytoplasmic protein antigen from Mycobacterium microti on 5'-nucleotidase production by guinea pig macrophages.
A decline in 5'-nucleotidase production was observed in short-term tissue culture of guinea pig alveolar, peritoneal, splenic, and liver macrophages during exposure to 10(2) microM rifampicin, 1 microM levamisole, or 10 micrograms of cytoplasmic protein antigen extracted from Mycobacterium microti. Liver macrophage 5'-nucleotidase production was more significantly inhibited by the three agents....
