Kinetics of antibody mediated suppression of humoral immune response to Toxoplasma gondii at a cellular level. 1977

K N Masihi, and H Werner

The effect of passively transferred Toxoplasma gondii antiserum was examined at a cellular level by rosette forming cell response in NMRI mouse spleen. The initial number of responding rosette forming cells was decreased in antibody treated animals; However, their rate of proliferation in comparison to untreated group was not significantly affected. Almost similar response could be obtained by injecting low 5 x 10(4) Toxoplasma dose alone or a combination of passive antibody and higher antigen dose of 1 x 10(6) parasites.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007104 Immune Adherence Reaction A method for the detection of very small quantities of antibody in which the antigen-antibody-complement complex adheres to indicator cells, usually primate erythrocytes or nonprimate blood platelets. The reaction is dependent on the number of bound C3 molecules on the C3b receptor sites of the indicator cell.

D007116 Immunization, Passive Transfer of immunity from immunized to non-immune host by administration of serum antibodies, or transplantation of lymphocytes (ADOPTIVE TRANSFER).

D007165 Immunosuppression Therapy Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.
