[Immunosuppressive effect and promotor activity for hepatic carcinogenesis of thiobenzamide]. 1985

P Pasquinelli, and F Bruschi, and M Saviozzi, and G Malvaldi

Thiobenzamide (TB) administration to rats (1 g/Kg of diet for 4 weeks) 10 days after a single i.p. injection of dimethylnitrosamine promotes the growth of preneoplastic liver lesions as evidenced by the sharp increase in number and area of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase-positive hepatocellular foci. At the same time the number of the plaque forming cells isolated from the spleen of rats challenged with sheep red blood cell after the completion of a TB cycle is significantly lower than in the controls 5 as well 13 days after immunization. Accordingly, TB could act as immunodepressant in the rat; this should be taken into account as far as the promoting ability of such xenobiotic is concerned.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
