[Different effects of peptides and their amino acids on antibody production and phagocytic activity of the neutrophils in mice]. 1991

G A Belokrylov, and N V Popova, and O Ia Molchanova, and E I Sorochinskaia, and V V Anokhina

The effects of some natural polypeptides fragments and amino acids which were incorporated in them on the thymus-dependent SRBC immune response and on the phagocytosis of Staphylococcus by murine peritoneal neutrophils were compared. It was found that the peptides LGIP and PYIK which consisted of those amino acids that stimulated phagocytosis but did influence the immune response (K, P, Y, L) did not change the immune response as well as phagocytosis. The peptides TKPR, TTKD and LGIPE which included those amino acids that were able to stimulate both immune response and phagocytosis (T, E, D) enhanced both activities. Nevertheless the peptide PYIKV containing valine (that stimulated the antibody production as well as phagocytosis) did not effect the immune response but enhanced the phagocytic index. The existence of two immunoregulatory systems--the peptide system and the amino acid one--was suggested.

D010446 Peptide Fragments Partial proteins formed by partial hydrolysis of complete proteins or generated through PROTEIN ENGINEERING techniques. Peptide Fragment,Fragment, Peptide,Fragments, Peptide
D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D000276 Adjuvants, Immunologic Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity.
