Effect of DDS on phytohemagglutinin-induced lymphocyte transformation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of DDS on PHA-induced lymphocyte transformation was investigated in leukocyte cultures from two samples of healthy Caucasoid individuals. In one sample the sulfone-treated cultures differed from the controls in that they contained 0.4 mug/ml of other sample, the treated cultures contained DDS in concentrations of 4 mug/ml, 8 mug/ml and 16 mug/ml. The frequency of lymphocyte transformation induced by PHA was significantly reduced by DDS in all concentrations used. The data obtained are a strong indication that the plasma levels of dapsone among leprosy patients may contribute to the depression of the blastogenic capacity of their lymphocytes when stimulated by PHA.

In vitro effect of DDS on phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)--induced lymphocyte transformation.
A study to find out the in vitro effect of diamino diphenyl sulphone (DDS) on phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-induced lymphocyte transformation was carried out in three phases using a wide range of DDS concentrations. Lymphocytes from healthy volunteers were investigated. Volunteers were divided into three groups to conduct the study in three phases. In each phase in addition to 0.02 ml of PHA, 4 dif...
متن کاملLymphocyte Transformation Induced by Autologous Cells
Lymphocytes incubated with phytohemagglutinin or concanavalin A develop the capacity to stimulate autologous lymphocyte transformation. This is not attributable to residual mitogen contaminating the lymphoblastic cell preparation as: (a) the dissociation of mitogen from the lymphoblastic cell preparation increases the degree of stimulation observed and (b) the kinetics of lymphocyte transformat...
متن کاملInhibitory effect of L-asparaginase in lymphocyte transformation induced by phytohemagglutinin.
The effect of Escherichia coli L-asparaginase on phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced transformation of human lymphocytes was studied. Transformation was remarkably suppressed by the enzyme when it was added to the cul ture not later than 24 hr after its initiation. The effective concentration was more than 0.2 i.u./tube. Guinea pig serum and L-0-aspartohydroxamic acid, an L-asparagine analog, have...
متن کاملAmphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine: in vitro effects on lymphocyte function.
The effects of amphotericin B, 5-fluorocytosine, and the combination of both drugs on lymphocyte function in vitro were investigated. Amphotericin B, alone or in combination with 5-fluorocytosine, significantly suppressed both spontaneous lymphocyte transformation and the response of lymphocytes to stimulation with streptokinase-streptodornase. 5-Fluorocytosine had no effect on spontaneous or a...
متن کاملFetuin, an inhibitor of lymphocyte transformation. The interaction of fetuin with phytomitogens and a possible role for fetuin in fetal development
Fetuin, the bovine alpha-fetoprotein, contains glycopeptide sequences similar to those found on red cells. As a result, it is capable of strong physical interaction with the phytohemagglutinin isomitogens (H-PHAP) which possess two or more R (red cell binding) subunits as part of their tetrameric structures. Fetuin shows little or no interaction with L-PHAP, a phytohemagglutinin made up of four...
