Mitogen-induced gamma interferon production in peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with colorectal tumors. 1984

D S Müller, and B Manger, and R Zawatzky, and H Kirchner, and J R Kalden

Mitogen-induced interferon production in peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with colorectal tumors was not significantly different from that observed in patients with Crohn's disease and sex- and age-matched controls. In the group of patients with colorectal carcinomas, no correlation was obtained with regard to the interferon titer, the in vivo lymphocyte proliferation and the clinical stage of the disease or tumor staging and grading respectively. Most importantly, the data show that despite an obvious defect in T-lymphocyte proliferation, measurement of lymphokine production in mitogen-stimulated cell cultures was not impaired.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. Interferon Type II,Interferon, Immune,gamma-Interferon,Interferon, gamma,Type II Interferon,Immune Interferon,Interferon, Type II
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D008934 Mitogens Substances that stimulate mitosis and lymphocyte transformation. They include not only substances associated with LECTINS, but also substances from streptococci (associated with streptolysin S) and from strains of alpha-toxin-producing staphylococci.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
