不同刺激剂PHA和ConA对绒山羊淋巴细胞有丝分裂中期化的影响

试验旨在探索使较高比例的淋巴细胞富集在有丝分裂G2/M期的最佳条件。运用植物血凝素(PHA)和刀豆蛋白A(ConA)对淋巴细胞进行刺激使其增殖,培养一定时间后加秋水仙素对淋巴细胞进行同步化处理,用流式细胞仪检测G2/M期的细胞数量进行比对,观察试剂的最佳作用浓度和加秋水仙素的最佳时间。结果表明,采用PHA和ConA刺激淋巴细胞增殖的最佳作用浓度是60和5 μg/mL,且淋巴细胞经ConA刺激培养45 h再加秋水仙素处理5 h G2期的比例最高为58.38%。结果提示,就绒山羊的淋巴细胞来说,ConA刺激绒山羊淋巴细胞增殖的效果比PHA好,且摸索出细胞G2/M期的时间点至关重要。     

3种植物多糖对鸡外周血和脾脏淋巴细胞体外增殖作用的影响

本试验旨在比较3种植物多糖对鸡外周血T淋巴细胞和脾脏B淋巴细胞体外增强免疫活性的研究.通过酶学检测法测定3种植物多糖对鸡胚成纤维细胞的安全浓度,MTT法比较3种植物多糖单独刺激和PHA协同刺激对鸡外周血T淋巴细胞增殖指数的影响,同时比较3种植物多糖单独刺激及与LPS协同刺激对鸡脾脏B淋巴细胞增殖率的影响.结果显示,黄芪多糖和桑叶多糖具有较高的细胞安全浓度,在64~512 μg/mL时,3种植物多糖对鸡外周血T淋巴细胞和脾脏B淋巴细胞的增殖作用较强.结果表明,3种植物多糖对鸡外周血和脾脏淋巴细胞都有不同程度的体外增殖作用,其中黄芪多糖的增殖作用最强,桑叶多糖其次,山药多糖最差.     

Radio-iodine treatment of hyperthyroid cats

Thirty-two elderly domestic shdrthaired cats (mean age 12.9 years) were treated with radioiodine (¹³¹I). The dose of ¹³¹I administered ranged from 39 mBq to 134 mBq. Twenty-eight cats became euthyroid after treatment, one became hypothyroid and three remained hyperthyrox-aemic. Two of the hyperthyroxaemic cats were successfully re-treated with ¹³¹I. Five cats died from concurrent diseases within one year of treatment. The administration of a dose of ¹³¹I selected by assessing the severity of the clinical signs, the size of the thyroid gland(s) and the serum level of thyroxine was an effective treatment for hyperthyroidism.     

Avian Reovirus Induces an Inhibitory Effect on Lymphoproliferation in Chickens

The cellular immune responses of chickens inoculated with the vaccine strain S-1133 and/or a field isolate VA-1 of avian reovirus (ARV) were studied. Both strains of virus caused inhibition of the phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-induced lymphoproliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and splenic mononuclear cells (SMC) during the initial stage from day 4 up to day 10 post-inoculation (PI), with a later return to the normal value. The inhibition in the PHA-induced lymphoproliferation of SMC could be partially overcome by depletion of adherent cells. The supernatant of the PHA-stimulated SMC culture was also checked in vitro for the presence of suppressive factor(s) produced in response to ARV infection. The culture supernatant from chickens at day 5 PI caused significant inhibition of the PHA-induced lymphoproliferation of control birds, suggesting the presence of suppressive factor(s). ARV infection also significantly inhibited IL-2 production on day 5. There was a significant increase in nitric oxide production by the splenic mononuclear cells of chickens inoculated with either strain of ARV.     

不同中药多糖体外对鸡外周血和脾脏淋巴细胞增殖能力的比较

为比较玉竹多糖、桑叶多糖、杜仲多糖、商陆多糖、淫羊藿多糖体外增强免疫活性,采用酶学检测法测定各中药多糖对鸡胚成纤维细胞的安全浓度,根据安全浓度测定结果,选择250.000μg/ml、125.000μg/ml、62.500μg/ml、31.250μg/ml、15.625μg/ml 5个浓度,用MTT法比较5种中药多糖单独和PHA协同刺激对外周血T淋巴细胞增殖指数的影响,以及比较5种中药多糖单独和LPS协同刺激对脾脏B淋巴细胞增殖率的影响。结果显示,玉竹多糖、桑叶多糖、杜仲多糖、商陆多糖、淫羊藿多糖对鸡胚成纤维细胞的安全浓度分别为1 250.0μg/ml、625.0μg/ml、625.0μg/ml、625.0μg/ml、312.5μg/ml。玉竹多糖、桑叶多糖、杜仲多糖和淫羊藿多糖无论是单独还是协同PHA刺激外周血T淋巴细胞,均不同程度地表现出增强T淋巴细胞的活性。桑叶多糖、杜仲多糖和淫羊藿多糖无论是单独还是协同LPS刺激脾脏B淋巴细胞,均不同程度地显示出良好的增强B淋巴细胞的活性。桑叶多糖和杜仲多糖体外增强免疫效果最佳,在62.500μg/ml和125.000μg/ml时,均显示出较强的增强外周血T淋巴细胞和脾脏B淋巴细胞增殖的能力。
