Experimental production of pulmonary granulomas: III. Plasma-cell granulomas in mice. 1983

Y Hamamoto, and K Hashimoto, and M Baba, and K Kinoshita, and K Yasuhira

Endobronchial instillation of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) induced plasma-cell granulomas in the lungs of DD strain mice. One week after administration, plasma cells appeared in monolayered cell clusters around pulmonary arterioles running along the bronchial tree. The plasma cells increased in number with time to form granulomas consisting mainly of well developed plasma cells with an admixture of lymphocytes and macrophages. At the peak of production of granulomas (4-10 weeks), the plasma cells piled up around the arterioles and infiltrated the connective tissues surrounding the bronchioles. Germinal-centre-like foci could be demonstrated in the granulomas. The lymph nodes draining the treated lobe showed marked proliferation of plasma cells in the medullary cord, suggesting that the plasma cells passed through alveolar walls into the lung and migrated to periarteriolar connective tissue.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

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.

D009169 Mycobacterium tuberculosis A species of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria that produces TUBERCULOSIS in humans, other primates, CATTLE; DOGS; and some other animals which have contact with humans. Growth tends to be in serpentine, cordlike masses in which the bacilli show a parallel orientation. Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
D010950 Plasma Cells Specialized forms of antibody-producing B-LYMPHOCYTES. They synthesize and secrete immunoglobulin. They are found only in lymphoid organs and at sites of immune responses and normally do not circulate in the blood or lymph.

D005620 Freund's Adjuvant An antigen solution emulsified in mineral oil. The complete form is made up of killed, dried mycobacteria, usually M. tuberculosis, suspended in the oil phase. It is effective in stimulating cell-mediated immunity (IMMUNITY, CELLULAR) and potentiates the production of certain IMMUNOGLOBULINS in some animals. The incomplete form does not contain mycobacteria. Freund Adjuvant,Adjuvant, Freund,Adjuvant, Freund's,Freunds Adjuvant
