[Immunotherapeutic studies on EN-L2C guinea pig leukemia].

چکیده
Effect of various immunomodulators in combination with chemotherapeutic agents were studied using EN-L2C cell line, an acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) of inbred strain-2 guinea pig. Results obtained were followings. 1) Typical leukemic cells appeared in peripheral blood 12 days after the inoculation of 10, cells and the hosts died within 5 days. When EN-L2C cells were inoculated together with BCG or N-CWS (Nocardia rubra cell wall skeletones), the host survived significantly longer than controls. 2) Single injection of cyclophosphamide (CY ; 35 mg/kg , BW) 14 days after animals receiving inoculation of EN-L2C cells induced complete remission . However, it lasted 2 weeks. A repeated administration of BCG, N-CWS or irradiated EN-L2C cells plus BCG during the remission period did not prolong the period of remission. 3) Immunization of animals during the remission period with Mitomycin C-treated ENL2C cells either conjugated or mixed with PPD did not delay the relapse . 4) During hematological relapse, meningeal involvement was proven histologically . The animals received irradiation over cerebrospinal area with 80Co on the following day after they were given CY survived several days longer than the non-irradiated controls . An additional injection of N-CWS to the irradiation plus CY regimen did only slightly but significantly prolong the survival days. Passive transfer of specifically immunized lymphocytes to the animals after they received CY did only slightly but significantly prolong the survival days with or without the addition of craniospinal irradiation .

Mutant lines of guinea pig L2C leukemia. I. Deletion of Ia alloantigens is associated with a loss in immunogenicity of tumor-associated transplantation antigens
Five different lines of a strain 2 guinea pig leukemia (L2C) which had been carried in different laboratories share certain chromosomal markers and have a common surface immunoglobulin idiotypic determinant indicating that they have a common origin. All these leukemic lines have on their surface of the B alloantigen (equivalent of the murine H-2K and H-2D antigens) and four of these five lines ...
متن کاملImmunogenicity and Immunosensitivity of a Guinea Pig B-Cell Leukemia Subline Lacking Cell Surface la Antigens
L2C is a transplantable B-cell leukemia of strain 2 guinea pigs. Transplantation protection experiments were performed with L2C sublines expressing or lacking cell surface antigens coded for by the I region of the major histocompatibility complex (la). A subline (BZ-L2C) that lacked cell surface la antigens was immunogenic but relatively resistant to immunological attack. The data suggest that ...

Production rates of cortisol, 2a-hydroxycortisol, and 6/3hydroxycortisol were determined (by isotope dilution technics) in individual adult Strain 2 guinea pigs following transplantation of the guinea pig lymphoblastic leukemia I^C/NB. There was a statistically significant (P < 0.01, 0.02, and 0.01) 2.0-, 1.4-, and 1.9-fold higher production of cortisol, 2a-hydroxycortisol, and 6/3-hydroxycorti...
