Lethal synergy between sarcoma-180/TG cells and vesicular stomatitis virus in mice. 1975

E F Deig, and R E Cranford, and D J Riedlinger, and T G Akers

An interaction between sarcoma-180/TG cells and vesicular stomatitis virus in adult mice resulted in the rapid onset of extensive mortality. This interaction, termed lethal synergy, occurred only at early stages of ascites induction in animals with no prior virus contact. A significant sparing effect conferred by the serotonin antagonist dibenamine was reversed by the administration of serotonin. The cause of death was not determined, but a mechanism involving hypersensitivity is indicated.

D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
