Induction of interleukin 1 secretion and enhancement of humoral immunity by binding of human C5a to macrophage surface C5a receptors
The mechanism by which human C5a anaphylatoxin augments the primary humoral response of murine splenocytes to antigen has been investigated. Culture supernatants were generated from splenic adherent cells or macrophage cell lines after exposure to a brief pulse of human C5a. Supernatants from the macrophage-like cell line P388D1, which bears surface receptors for C5a, enhance the PFC response t...
متن کاملInterleukin-12 and protective immunity to schistosomes.
The attenuated vaccine against Schistosoma mansoni induces Th1-mediated protective immunity and we have sought to identify a role for IL-12 in this model. Elevated levels of IL-12 (p40 mRNA) were detected in the lymph nodes (LN) and the lungs of vaccinated mice, whilst treatment of vaccinated mice with anti-IL-12 antibodies decreased the ratio of IFN gamma:IL-4 secreted by in vitro-cultured LN ...
متن کاملEnhancement of humoral and cellular immunity by vitamin E after embryonic exposure.
In the present study, the amnion of turkey and chicken embryos were injected 3 d prior to hatch with different levels of vitamin E (VE). In Experiments 1 and 2, turkey embryos received 10, 20, and 30 IU of VE. In Experiment 3, broiler embryos received 10 IU VE. In all three experiments, sham-injected control embryos (0 IU VE) received 300 microL of saline. In Experiments 1 and 2 (turkey embryos...
متن کاملInterleukin-12-mediated induction of systemic immunity in the perihpery
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) stimulates the type 1 helper T (Th1) cell responses and augments antitumor immunity. We examined possible antitumor effects of IL-12 secreted intracerebrally (i.c.) and/or subcutaneously (s.c.) in an experimental glioblastoma model and compared the effects with those of IL-2. Rat 9L gliosarcoma cells retrovirally transduced with the IL-12 or IL-2 gene (9L/IL-12 and 9L/IL-...
متن کاملHumoral immunity in cardiomyopathy.
Sera from patients with heart disease were examined by single sandwich indirect immunofluorescence for the presence of antibodies to human heart muscle. Endocardial biopsy specimens were also examined by direct immunofluorescence for deposition of antibodies in vivo. No consistent or specific abnormality was found in the biopsy specimens or sera of patients with congestive cardiomyopathy. The p...
