Induction of spleen cell growth and DNA polymerase activity by Corynebacterium parvum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Corynebacterium parvum induces rapid proliferation of spleen cells with concomitant rapid increases in DNA synthesis as measured by [3H]thymidine uptake and increase in DNA polymerase activity. Cell number increased exponentially over 10 days. DNA polymerase activity increased 8-fold after C. parvum stimulation. The rapidity of response indicated a population response to the stimulus, and the data are consistent with a direct stimulation of spleen cell proliferation by C. parvum.

The distribution and persistence in vivo of Corynebacterium parvum in relation to its antitumor activity.
Killed Corynebacterium parvum was labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate or 125I, and both preparations were shown to retain lymphoreticular stimulatory and antitumor activity. Large amounts of C. parvum injected i.v. were found in the liver, spleen, and lungs with less in bone marrow and lymph nodes. Apart from a rapid loss from the lungs within 24 hr, the persistence of killed C. parvum was ...
متن کاملImmunological enhancement of leukemia L1210 by Corynebacterium parvum in allogeneic mice.
The effect of Corynebacterium parvum on the immune response of C57BL/6 mice (H-2b) to the allogeneic leukemia L1210 (H-2d) was investigated. Mice were either left untreated or given C. parvum i.v. or i.p. in various dosages. Seven days later they were challenged with 2.5 to 10 X 10(6) live L1210 cells i.p. Control animals almost always rejected the challenge. In contrast, most mice pretreated w...
متن کاملSynergistic effect between neutrophils and Corynebacterium parvum in the process of macrophage activation.
Adoptive transfer of granulocytes exposed to Corynebacterium parvum in vivo or in vitro efficiently activates murine peritoneal macrophages in vivo. A comparison of the amount of bacteria required to produce similar levels of cytolytic activity indicated that 2 X 10(7) intracellular (neutrophil) bacteria were as efficient as 1 X 10(10) bacteria introduced directly. The time courses of macrophag...

Adoptive transfer of granulocytes exposed to Corynebacte rium parvum in vivo or in vitro efficiently activates murine peri toneal macrophages in vivo. A comparison of the amount of bacteria required to produce similar levels of cytolytic activity indicated that 2 x 107 intracellular (neutrophil) bacteria were as efficient as 1 x 1010bacteria introduced directly.

The growth of Salmonella enteritidis in mice pretreated with 700 mug of killed Corynebacterium parvum was less than that seen in normal CD-1 mice. In treated mice, there was an early increased inactivation of the blood, liver, and spleen bacterial populations, followed by a prolonged period of slow but continuous bacterial growth. The treated mice failed to develop significant delayed hypersens...
