Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Of Jensen Tumor In Sprague-Dawley Rats, Theodore D. Masek
Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Of Jensen Tumor In Sprague-Dawley Rats, Theodore D. Masek
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
An in vitro system for the study of the cell-mediated immune response to Jensen Sarcoma (JS) is described. The tumor grew unrestricted and lead to the demise of 80% of successfully challenged Sprague-Dawley rats (persistors) while 20% of challenged rats (regressors) destroyed the tumor by an unknown mechanism(s). Lymphocytes from both persistors and regressors were shown to be cytotoxic for tumor cells in vitro. Pretreatment of tumor target cells with "immune" serum from persistors or regressors had no effect on the in vitro cytotoxicity of lymphocytes from tumor-challenged rats. Pretreatment of lymphocytes with irmnune serum, however, was shown to reduce …
Concurrent Infection Of Trypanosoma Musculi Kendell, 1906, And Schistosoma Mansoni Sambon, 1907 In Mice, Berhane Andeberhan
Concurrent Infection Of Trypanosoma Musculi Kendell, 1906, And Schistosoma Mansoni Sambon, 1907 In Mice, Berhane Andeberhan
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The possible effects of ablastin on Schistosoma mansoni were investigated by (1) establishing a concurrent infection of Trypanosoma musculi and Schistosoma mansoni in mice, and (2) by obtaining Trypanosoma lewisi immune rat serum (ablastin) and injecting it into S. mansoni infected mice. These procedures were followed on days 4, 14 and 28 of S. mansoni infection. For the groups that were given immune rat serum, controls were kept into which normal rat serum was injected.
Ablastin does not have any effect on the development or morphology of the S. mansoni worms as tested in this study. Although ablastin inhibits glycolytic …
Comparison Of Two Techniques For Enumeration Of Human B And T Lymphocytes, William F. Forsythe Jr.
Comparison Of Two Techniques For Enumeration Of Human B And T Lymphocytes, William F. Forsythe Jr.
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The assay of Bursa-derived and Thymus-derived lymphocytes (B and T cells) in man has become increasingly useful during the past few years in normal and in clinical conditions. There has been quite a range reported in the literature in the percent of B and T cells in normal subjects by different investigators.
The purpose of this study was to see if monocyte contamination was one cause of non-specific rosette formation. Twenty-one subjects were used to compare the technique involving trypsin and neuraminidase treatment of erythrocytes and the technique of glass wool removal of monocytes. A peroxidase stain was used to …
