Proliferative Responses of Tilapia T-Like Lymphocytes to Stimulation by Concanavalin A
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Peripheral blood lymphocytes were cultured in vitro in the presence of a mitogen; Concanavalin A (Con A), this resulted into a process described as lymphocyte transformation. The morphological changes in the cells were studied using phase contrast and electron microscopes. The results presented corroborated the existence of lymphocyte heterogeneity in tilapias.

Immunosuppressive factors from adult T-cell leukemia cells.
The mechanism of immunodeficiency in adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) patients was studied in vitro. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from ATL patients and ATL cell lines such as Hut 102, MT 1, and MT 2 were not activated to proliferate by the stimulation with concanavalin A and suppressed normal lymphocyte proliferative responses induced with concanavalin A when cultured together. The sera from ATL pat...
متن کاملEnhanced responses of glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor-deficient T lymphocytes.
The functions of GPI-anchored proteins in T lymphocyte activation have been controversial. This issue was addressed by studying the responses of T lymphocytes from T lymphocyte-specific GPI anchor-deficient mice to different stimuli that normally allow coligation of TCR and GPI-anchored proteins. Stimulation of GPI anchor-deficient T lymphocytes with ConA induced 2-fold higher proliferative res...
متن کاملCellular Interactions in the Proliferative Response of Human T and B Lymphocytes to Phytomitogens and Allogeneic Lymphocytes
In vitro studies were performed to determine the proliferative responsiveness of human peripheral blood thymus-dependent (T) and thymus-independent (B) lymphocytes to phytomitogens and allogeneic lymphocytes. Recombination of T and B cells, with selective inhibition of proliferation of one of the two populations, was used to identify cellular interactions which may contribute to cell proliferat...
متن کاملImpairment of concanavalin A-inducible suppressor activity following administration of cyclophosphamide to patients with advanced cancer.
We have shown that cyclophosphamide (CY) can augment the development of delayed-type hypersensitivity to a primary antigen in patients with advanced cancer. In the present study, we administered CY (1000 mg/sq m) to 19 patients with advanced, metastatic cancer and monitored the compositional and functional changes in their peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Within 2 days of administration of C...
متن کاملIn vitro effects of an antitumor antibiotic, ascofuranone, on the murine immune system.
Effects of an antitumor antibiotic, ascofuranone (AF) on the murine immune system were studied. Unlike lectins, AF did not induce any proliferative response of splenocytes. Furthermore, AF significantly inhibited proliferative response of splenocytes in response to lectins, such as concanavalin A, lipopolysaccharide, or phytohemagglutinin above 5 micrograms/ml. In concanavalin A-induced T-lymph...
