Lymphocyte stimulation by herpes simplex virus (HSV) antigens. 1. Culture conditions, cell fractionation and presentation of HSV antigens. 1977

A K Kapoor, and N R Ling, and M Bazeley

Optimal culture conditions for rabbit lymphocytes were established. Inclusion of 2-mercaptoethanol in the medium greatly enhanced responses. Lymphocytes from the blood of HSV-immunized rabbits responded specifically in vitro to heat-killed (56 degree, 60 min) or UV-inactivated HSV preparations. A UV dose of 13,392 ergs/mm2 was the most suitable inactivating dose. Oral intramucosal injection was the most effective way of generating blood lymphocyte responses to HSV, but animals immunized in tradermally or in tramuscularly with HSV in Freund's adjuvant also produced antigen-reactive cells after five or more immunizations. There were differences in the shape of the dose-response curves to various HSV1 mutants which were probably due to differences in the production of "stimulatory" and inhibitory antigens. Appreciable lymphocyte stimulation could be obtained with tissue culture fluid and enveloped virus antigens. Lymphocytes from HSV1-immune animals were also responsive to HSV2 antigens.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION. Blast Transformation,Blastogenesis,Lymphoblast Transformation,Lymphocyte Stimulation,Lymphocyte Transformation,Transformation, Blast,Transformation, Lymphoblast,Transformation, Lymphocyte,Activation, Lymphocyte,Stimulation, Lymphocyte
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
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
