Augmentation of lymphocyte cytotoxicity by antibody to herpesvirus saimiri associated antigens. 1975

J Prevost, and T W Orr, and G R Pearson

Sera from owl monkeys infected with Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) mediated antibody-dependent lymphocyte cytotoxicity (ADLC) against virus-infected owl monkey kidney cells. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from rhesus monkeys served as effector cells in this cytotoxic assay. ADLC titers increased along with membrane immunofluorescence (MF) titers but among some sera, the ADLC titers were much higher than expected from the MF titers, suggesting that multiple serum factors were involved in mediating ADLC in this system. Absorption of both low and high titered sera with HVS-infected owl monkey kidney cells removed all ADLC activity. Preliminary results from serial serum samples from two infected monkeys that developed leukemia and/or lymphoma demonstrated that ADLC but not MF titers increased to high titers with progression of disease and followed essentially a different kinetic pattern than that noted by MF. The possible significance of these findings in relation to malignant disease induced by this virus is discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
D008214	Lymphocytes	White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS.	Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D005455	Fluorescent Antibody Technique	Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
