Changes in lymphocyte subsets during the course of experimental allergic neuritis. 1985

The percentages of various leucocyte subsets in the blood, spleen and popliteal lymph nodes of animals with experimental allergic neuritis (EAN) were determined at various times between the initiation of the disease and recovery. The total cell yield from these tissues and the weights of the spleens and lymph nodes were recorded. Clinical and histological signs of disease were assessed at the same time points. Normal and adjuvant control animals were also studied. The most marked change observed was that the percentage of MRC OX 8+ ('suppressor/cytotoxic') cells in the blood of animals with EAN was significantly below the normal value during the most severe clinical disease, and then returned to normal during recovery. Adjuvant controls did not show this change. No significant differences were observed in the other lymphocyte subsets studied (surface Ig+, Ia+, W3.13+ and W3.25+ cells) or in the total white cell count in the blood. There were no changes from normal values in any of the parameters examined in the spleen. The popliteal lymph nodes were enlarged in both adjuvant controls and animals with EAN and both showed a decrease in the percentage of W3.25+ lymphocytes from normal unenlarged nodes.

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

D009444 Neuritis, Autoimmune, Experimental An experimental animal model for the demyelinating disease of GUILLAINE-BARRE SYNDROME. In the most frequently used protocol, animals are injected with a peripheral nerve tissue protein homogenate. After approximately 2 weeks the animals develop a neuropathy secondary to a T cell-mediated autoimmune response directed towards the MYELIN P2 PROTEIN in peripheral nerves. Pathologic findings include a perivascular accumulation of macrophages and T lymphocytes in the peripheral nervous system, similar to that seen in the Guillaine-Barre syndrome.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
