B- and T-cell responses have been studied after primary and secondary immunizations of mice with iscoms containing influenza virus envelope glycoproteins. After primary immunization both B- and T-cell responses were initiated in the draining lymph nodes. T-cells showed peak activity with respect to proliferation and cytokine production after five to eight days and the highest number of IgG secreting cells (IgG-SC) was recorded at day seven. The responses in the spleen developed slowly but were of longer duration. Cytokines produced by spleen cells included high levels of IFN-gamma and IL-2. After a secondary immunization the frequencies of IgG-SC were drastically increased in both LN and spleen, but decreased rapidly with time. At day eight after the secondary immunization high numbers of IgG-SC were detected in the bone marrow. High titres of IgG1 and IgG2a and substantial titres of IgG2b and IgG3 were detected in serum.

D000276 Adjuvants, Immunologic Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013154 Spleen An encapsulated lymphatic organ through which venous blood filters.
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.
