Sister chromatid exchange in peripheral lymphocytes of subjects vaccinated against measles. 1979

B Lambert, and A Ehrnst, and K Hansson, and A Lindblad, and M Morad, and B Werelius

The SCE frequency was studied in cultures of peripheral lymphocytes from three subjects before and after vaccination against measles. The immunological vaccination reactions were monitored by antibody titration and by measurement of DNA synthesis in peripheral lymphocytes. In two of the subjects, on the 14th day after vaccination, there was a marked decrease of the SCE frequency coinciding with common clinical vaccination reactions and an increase of DNA synthesis in the peripheral lymphocytes. The increase of antibody titers started on the 17th day. One month later, when the immunological reactions had subsided, the SCE frequency was increased by 25% over the prevaccination level. Third subject displayed a delayed vaccination response due to a simultaneous influenza infection. This subject showed a 50% increase in the SCE frequency on the 14th day as well as 6 weeks after vaccination. These results suggest that significant changes in the SCE frequency may be related to immunological vaccination reactions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D008297 Male Males
D008458 Measles Vaccine A live attenuated virus vaccine of chick embryo origin, used for routine immunization of children and for immunization of adolescents and adults who have not had measles or been immunized with live measles vaccine and have no serum antibodies against measles. Children are usually immunized with measles-mumps-rubella combination vaccine. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Vaccine, Measles
D003434 Crossing Over, Genetic The reciprocal exchange of segments at corresponding positions along pairs of homologous CHROMOSOMES by symmetrical breakage and crosswise rejoining forming cross-over sites (HOLLIDAY JUNCTIONS) that are resolved during CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION. Crossing-over typically occurs during MEIOSIS but it may also occur in the absence of meiosis, for example, with bacterial chromosomes, organelle chromosomes, or somatic cell nuclear chromosomes.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D012854 Sister Chromatid Exchange An exchange of segments between the sister chromatids of a chromosome, either between the sister chromatids of a meiotic tetrad or between the sister chromatids of a duplicated somatic chromosome. Its frequency is increased by ultraviolet and ionizing radiation and other mutagenic agents and is particularly high in BLOOM SYNDROME.
