Effect of protein-bound polysaccharide preparation, PS-K, on the immune response of mice to sheep red blood cells. 1976

R Ohno, and S Yokomaku, and K Wakayama, and S Sugiura, and K Imai

The protein-bound polysaccharide preparation, PS-K, was found to potentiate the production of hemolytic plaque-forming cells of spleen and serum hemagglutinin in C57BL/6 mice, when they were immunized with a low dose of sheep red blood cells. PS-K was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 150 mg/kg daily for 5 days. Ten days later, the mice were immunized with either 4 X 10(8) or 1 X 10(7) sheep red blood cells. Both the number of plaque-forming cells in their spleen and the amount of serum hemagglutinin were significantly higher in the PS-K treated mice when 1 X10(7) sheep red blood cells were used as an immunizing dose.

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.

D006462 Hemolytic Plaque Technique A method to identify and enumerate cells that are synthesizing ANTIBODIES against ANTIGENS or HAPTENS conjugated to sheep RED BLOOD CELLS. The sheep red blood cells surrounding cells secreting antibody are lysed by added COMPLEMENT producing a clear zone of HEMOLYSIS.
