Effect Of Ampicillin Sodium On Immune Response
نویسندگان
چکیده
Penicillins are B-lactam antibiotics widely used in clinical practice and they induce many allergic reactions, which can be either cellular or humoral. B-lactams are able to interact covalently with serum proteins, forming immunogenic conjugates and their metabolism can provoke a number of different antigenic determinants that have been implicated in the specificity of the immunological response. In the present study, Ampicillin Sodium (17.5mg/kg), a semi-synthetic amino penicillin was used to study its effect on immune response by measuring different immune parameters like total serum protein concentration, passive haemagglutination, total leucocyte and total lymphocyte count. The antigen used was sheep RBC. It was observed that there was no significant change in total serum protein content and antibody titre. Ampicillin caused a slight increase in total leukocyte count and slight decrease in total lymphocyte count. It can be concluded that Ampicillin does not adversely affect the specific immune response in normal rabbits.

The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of in ovoinjection of royal jelly (RJ) on growth performance and immune response in broiler chickens challenged with Newcastle disease virus. A total of 200 hatching eggs were divided into four groups of 50 eggs each one using a completely randomized design. The eggs were injected with sterilized sodium bicarbonate buffer (pH=10.4) or RJ (88%) ...

Effect of microencapsulated ampicillin on cell-mediated immune responses in mice.
The effects of free ampicillin, microencapsulated ampicillin anhydrate (MEAA) and antibiotic-free microspheres on the cell-mediated immune response in Balb/c mice were measured by lymphoproliferation assay, delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) and cytokine production. Injection into mice for seven consecutive days with equivalent subcutaneous doses of ampicillin, MEAA or placebo microspheres did...
