Specificity of antileukemia sera prepared by immunization with leukemia cells admixed with normal antigen-blocking sera.

چکیده
Two types of antisera were tested, namely, conventional antileukemia serum (ALKS), prepared by immunization of rabbits with mouse leukemia cells, and antileukemia normal antigen-blocked serum (ALK-NABS), prepared by immuniza tion of rabbits with a mixture of mouse leukemia cells plus normal antigen-blocking serum (NABS). The latter was raised in rabbits by immunization with normal mouse lymphoid cells. Two types of mouse leukemias were used: Gardner leukemia transplanted in C3HeB/FeJ mice and L1210-MTX murine leukemia cells transplanted in DBA/2J mice. Compared with ALKS reagents, ALK-NABS reagents had cytolytic potencies against leukemia cells that were depressed 3or 4-fold. Long-continued immunization was necessary to elicit increased specificity of ALK-NABS for immune cytolysis of leukemia cells relative to normal splenic lymphocytes. If only small amounts of NABS were used to prepare ALKNABS, no increase in specificity was obtained. Small amounts of allogeneic NABS prepared against H-2 and 0 incompati bilities were also ineffective. Absorption of ALKS or ALK-NABS with normal mouse lymphoid cells increased their specificity against leukemia cells. However, this increase was greater for ALK-NABS, even after compensation for its lower initial cytolytic potency. Thus, ALK-NABS reagents appear to contain a higher proportion of antibodies that react with leukemia cells. In therapy experiments, ALK-NABS were less toxic, required less normal mouse tissue for absorption, and gave slightly better results than ALKS.

Background & Aim: Tolerance to the semi-allogenic fetal graft by the maternal immune system is a medical enigma that has stimulated investigations for a half of century. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the tolerance of mother to the fetus. The successful pregnancy is proposed and proved by many scientists to be a Th2 dominant phenomenon. This hypothesis is proved in most as...

To prepare hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antigen the egg drop syndrome virus (EDSV) was propagated in 10-day-old embryonated duck eggs. The virus antigen was inactivated with two methods including heating (65°C) and adding 0.5% formaldehyde by considering low destroying effect on hemagglutination (HA) and HI titers. The EDSV HI titers of 310 sera and 100 yolks obtained from 23 chicken farms ...
