Cytotoxicity Mediated by Soluble Antigen and Lymphocytes in Delayed Hypersensitivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cytopathic effect of lymph node cells from tuberculin-sensitized rats on rat embryo fibroblasts in the presence of PPD was not enhanced by admixture of normal (nonsensitized) lymph node cells. Preincubation studies showed that this in vitro response is initiated by the reaction of lymphocytes with specific antigen, beginning within 30 min, rather than uptake of antigen by the fibroblasts. The supernatant fluids from suspensions of sensitized cells incubated with PPD for 17 hr or more possessed cytotoxic activity. The target fibroblasts showed a marked increase in acid phosphatase content within 48 hr after the addition of sensitized lymph node cells and antigen.

Fever Accompanying Delayed Hypersensitivity
Although fever has long been recognized as a cardinal manifestation of hypersensitivity, surprisingly little is known about the mechanisms by which antigens bring about changes in body temperature in hosts with delayed hypersensitivity (1, 2). There is a growing body of evidence tha t in this immunologic state antigen reacts with specifically sensitized lymphocytes to produce soluble mediators,...
متن کاملRosette-forming ability of thymus-derived lymphocytes in cell-mediated immunity. I. Delayed hypersensitivity and in vitro cytotoxicity
Effector cells in delayed hypersensitivity and in vitro cytotoxicity were studied in lymph node cells from animals immunized with sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) in complete Freund's adjuvant. Delayed hypersensitivity response (DHR) was assayed by the increase in foot pad swelling after the intrafoot pad injection of immune cells plus antigen. Cell-mediated cytotoxicity against SRBC was assayed by a ...
متن کاملT cell-mediated cytotoxicity against HBsAg-coated Chang cells in patients with chronic hepatitis: evidence for cytotoxicity mediated by delayed hypersensitivity T cell reaction.
T lymphocytes from 7 (21%) of 34 patients with chronic hepatitis showed positive cytotoxicity against HBsAg-coated Chang cells. This positivity was observed in HBsAg-negative patients having positive blast transformation responses to HBsAg, as well as in patients convalescing and recovered from acute B hepatitis. Levels of S-GPT in these patients were not different from those showing no cytotox...

Lymphocytes are now recognized to be comprised of a population of functionally heterogeneous cells. I t is generally accepted that distinctions exist between lymphoid cells which are antibody-forming cell precursors and those which are involved in cell-mediated immune reactions. More recently, explicit considerations of heterogeneity among lymphocytes mediating cellular immune responses have be...
متن کامل1304 Mediator Production
When lymphocytes obtained from persons or animals exhibiting delayed hypersensitivity are stimulated in vitro by specific antigen, they produce a number of soluble substances with various biologic activities including migration inhibitory factor (MIF) 1 and lymphocyte mitogenic factor (LMF) (1-4). Since delayed hypersensitivity reactions have been generally assumed to be mediated by thymus-depe...
