Cell-mediated and humoral immune responses in guinea pigs sensitized with the thermostable antigen of human granulocytes (TSGA). 1982

R Bräuer, and K Thoss, and S Sawall, and G Waldmann

Cell-mediated and humoral immune responses are induced shortly after a single injection of the human thermostable granulocyte antigen TSGA to guinea pigs. This was proved by means of the lymphocyte transformation assay and the estimation of MIF and LIF activity in supernatants of antigen-stimulated lymph node cells as well as by immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis and immunohistology. The maximum of the cellular response was observed 10 days after immunization. The antibody production appeared after a lag time and increased continuously thereafter. The antisera of guinea pig yields a strong specific fluorescence in neutrophils and a weak fluorescence in monocytes of man. The humoral immune responses of guinea pig antisera correspond to the results obtained with antisera from rabbits.

D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D007961 Leukocyte Migration-Inhibitory Factors Protein factor(s) released by sensitized lymphocytes (and possibly other cells) that inhibit the movement of LEUKOCYTES, especially polymorphonuclear cells, away from their site of release. Assays for these factors are used as tests for cellular immunity. Two of the common assays are the LEUKOCYTE MIGRATION CAPILLARY TUBE TECHNIQUE (LMCT) and the LEUKOCYTE MIGRATION AGAROSE TEST (LMAT).

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.

D008263 Macrophage Migration-Inhibitory Factors Proteins released by sensitized LYMPHOCYTES and possibly other cells that inhibit the migration of MACROPHAGES away from the release site. The structure and chemical properties may vary with the species and type of releasing cell.
