The immunoglobulin M(IgM) production and lymphocytes proliferation were determined by ELISA and MTT methods, respectively.Endotoxin contamination was assessed by treating the preparations with polymyxin B.Results: The doses of "Saribadi" [0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.00%(v/v)] significantly increased IgM productions(0.966, 0.728, 0.695 and 0.615 mg/m L vs. control 0.265 mg/m L)and lymphocytes proliferation [absorbance 0.311, 0.394, 0.372 and 0.334 optical density(OD) vs. control 0.162 OD]. Similarly, the doses of "Anantamul Salsa" [0.50%, 0.75%,1.00% and 1.50%(v/v)] promoted IgM productions(0.933, 0.919, 0.917 and 0.892 mg/m L vs. control 0.502 mg/m L) and the doses of "Anantamul Salsa" [0.50%, 0.75%, 1.00%,1.50%, 2.00%, and 3.00%(v/v)] stimulated lymphocytes proliferation(absorbance 0.395,0.326, 0.440, 0.398, 0.452 and 0.355 OD vs. control 0.199 OD). The activity of "Saribadi"and "Anantamul Salsa" was not retarded by the treatment of preparations with polymyxin B.Conclusions: Immunomodulatory activity of "Saribadi" and "Anantamul Salsa" was unveiled for the first time. "Saribadi" and "Anantamul Salsa" possess immunostimulating potential acting through the induction of lymphocyte proliferation and IgM production.These preparations may be useful in strengthening immune responses. However, further cellular and in vivo studies are required.展开更多

Methods: The folate antagonist methotrexate (MTX) was conjugated to two monoclonal antibodies (Mab) directed against human chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Dal B01 and Dal B02, by an active ester method. Both conjugates were more cytotoxic toward the target tumor cell line D101 than to the nontarget cell line MOLT3, and Dal B02MTX conjugate was more inhibitory to D101 cells than free MTX in a 6 h pulse exposure assay. Results: Drug uptake studies revealed that D101 cells took up much more Dal B01 and Dal B02conjugated MTX than free MTX. The amounts of drug taken up by D101 cells incubated with Dal B01 and Dal B02conjugated MTX were always 3 to 5fold higher than that taken up by MOLT3 cells, although the latter took up more drug when incubated with free MTX. Furthermore, tumor cells incubated with Dal B01 or Dal B02conjugated MTX retained much larger amounts of drug for a prolonged period of time than those incubated with free MTX. Conclusion: The enhanced specific cytotoxicity of Dal B01 and Dal B02MTX conjugates toward target tumor cells is therefore likely due to (I) delivery of larger amounts of MTX to target cells when the drug is conjugated to Mab; (ii) longer retention of Mabconjugated MTX by target cells; and (iii) slow, prolonged release of MTX from the surfacebound or endocytosed conjugates, rendering them into a sustained release dosage form.展开更多

Objective: To determine the NK activity of lymphocyte subsets and the effects of low dose radiation. Methods: Lymphocyte subsets were separated by monoclonal antibodies. The NK activity of each subset on tumor cells was detected by radioactive release method. Results: The results showed that besides NK cells, CD 4, CD 8 and B cells alone can kill tumor cells. But the cellkilling activity of NK cells appeared to be strongest. There was synergistic effect between CD 4 and NK cells. The activity of mixed lymphocytes was more than that of only one subset. The effect of low dose radiation (LDR) on NK activity of panlymphocytes or NK cells was different. Conclusion: This paper demonstrated that NK activity of mononuclear cells was called “NK activity of lymphocytes”, but it is not true. Only when NK cells were separated by monoclonal antibodies, its killer activity can be called “activity of NK cells”.展开更多

The relationship between T Lymphocyte subsets and disease activity was measured by erythrocyte sedimentation rate (SR)and serum IgG. Results: The percentage of CD4^+T cells and the ration of CD4^+/CD8^+T cells in peripheral bbod from SS patients decreased significantly, and the percentage of CD8^+T cells increased than that in control groups (P<0.05). Compared with patients in inactive period, the percentage of CD4^+T cells in peripheral bLood from SS patients in the active stage increased (P>0.05), the percentage of CD8^+T cells decreased (P>0.05), and the ration of CD4^+/ CD8^+T cells increased (P<0.05).Compared with control groups, the percentage of CD69 expressed on T cells in peripheral blood from SS patients decreased, and the percentage of CD95's expression increased (P<0.05).The percentage of CD69CD95's expression also increased (P>0.05). There were no differences among CD4^+T cells, CD8^+T ceLs and CD4^+/ CD8^+ in peripheral blood from SS patients of different TCM Syndromes (P>0.05). CD69 and CD95's expression on SS patients of different TCM Syndromes was no significantLy different (P>0.05).T cell receptor Vβ(TCR Vβ) subfamilies gene in peripheral blood from SS patients and control groups were expressed in all. Compared witji control groups, Vβ 5.3,Vβ 13.1,Vβ 12,Vβ 7.2 had significant differences (P<0.05).Comparison of different TCM Syndromes in SS group: Vβ 13.1 and Vβ 14 were significantly different (P<0.05).Conclusion:There was dysimmunity on T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of SS patients, which was related to disease activity;apoptosis after activation of autoreactive T cell may be induced by Chinese medicine;TCR Vβ subfamilies of different TCM syndromes were different, which noted that different autoreactive T cells of abnormal activation tended to result in different expression of TCM Different syndromes.展开更多

The specificity of BsAbs from culture supernatants or ascites was assayed by indirect ELISA and indirect immunoflurescence (IF). The results showed that BsAbs could specifically react with homologous serum IgM from patients with B CLL and cells carrying CD3 marker respectively. Cell combination test and LDH assay demonstrated that BsAb significantly increased the conjugate formation between lymphocyte activated kill (LAK) cells and Daudi cells, and enhanced the cytotoxic activity of LAK cells against Daudi cells.展开更多

The computer grouping programme analysis showed that 4 and- isotypic MaAbs could be divided into two groups and 10 anti- idiotype McAbs could be divided into four groups. The result was consistent with that of the indirect sandwich ELISA and inhibition ELISA test. It suggested that there were at least 6 distinct IgM epitopes which can react specifically with 14 McAbs. Our study indicated that the combination of the additivity ELISA test and the computer grouping programme analysis is of help in studying the relationship of the structure and function of antigen.展开更多

In treating it, Chinese medicine treatment combines the patients personal constitution and treatment based on syndrome differentiation; Western medicine treatment mainly applies Aspirin, active immune lymphocyte treatment, low molecular heparin, gamma globulin protein passive immune treatment and psychological intervention therapy. In this paper, a review of the treatment methods for closed antibodies in the past 5 years is made.展开更多
