Propagation of a transmissible cytotoxic activity on cultures of human peripheral blood lymphocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Positive results were attained when human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) were investigated for their ability to propagate a transmissible cytotoxic activity (TCA) isolated on VERO cell cultures from a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drawn from a woman with ischemic brain injury. In consideration of this finding it can be assumed that "in vivo" blood lymphocytes contributed to give rise to the TCA detected "in vitro" in the CSF inoculum.

Background: Endocrine compounds, such as Bisphenol A (BPA), stimulate or inhibit the activities of hormones, nuclear receptors in the central nervous system, liver and other organs. They may be disposed of in the environment inadverdently around industrial sites. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of BPA on human lymphocytes in culture at varying concentrations. Method...
متن کاملCytotoxic activity of in vitro cultures of Linum spp.
There are some reports on the lignan constituents of Linum spp. In this study, we investigated the cyototoxicity of Linum spp. in vitro cultures for the first time. If they show significant cytotoxic activity, they will be valuable candidates for isolation of cytotoxic compounds in large scale from them by tissue culture technology. In our study, we chose normal root, hairy root and calli cultu...
