[Effect of endogenous opioid peptides on antibody formation in the primary immune response to sheep erythrocytes]. 1988

S A Korostelev

The effects of leu-enkephalin and met-enkephalin on the number of the antibody-forming cells (AFC) in the mouse spleen at the primary immune response to ram erythrocytes depending on the dose and time of the agent administration with relation to the time of immunization were studied. The data indicating diverse effects of these endogenous opioid peptides on antibody genesis were obtained. When administered before immunization, met-enkephalin increased the number of AFC in the CBA mouse spleen and its administration simultaneously with an antigen and afterwards decreased the number of AFC. Leu-enkephalin both decreased and increased the number of AFC in the spleen in the dose-dependent way. The stimulating effect of this agent was more pronounced in the C57BL/6 mice with the initially low immune response as compared to the CBA mice.

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).

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D004743 Enkephalin, Leucine One of the endogenous pentapeptides with morphine-like activity. It differs from MET-ENKEPHALIN in the LEUCINE at position 5.
