These experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of Cervi cornu extract on lymphocyte blastogenesis in spleen, thymus, lymph node, born marrow cells of Balb/c mouse, haemagglutination reaction against sheep red blood cell (SRBC), plaque forming cell (PFC) assay against SRBC and IL-2 production. Lymphocyte blastogenesis was determined by $[^3H]-thymidine$ incorporation. According to the lymphcoyte blastogenesis test on the immune cell. Ceriv cornu extrat was showed a potent mitogenic activity on the spleen and lymph node cells, but had mild mitogenic activity on the thymus and born marrow cells. Mitogenic active component of Crevi cornu extract was identified to be materials where molecular weights are higher than 5,000 by membrane filteration method. Cervi cornu extrat was shown to increase mitogenic effect on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated spleen cells significantly, but decrease mitogenic effect on the Con A stimulated spleen cell at the concentration 0.3%, 1% and 3%. Ceriv cornu extract didn't show to be haemagglutination reaction and showed to inhibit the Con A-induced haemagglutination reaction against SREC. Result of SRBC-PEC test. Ceriv cornu extract significantly increase the number of PEC at the concentration of 0.1% and 1%. When IL-2 or IL-4 production was determined by proliferation of CTLL-2 cells. Ceriv cornu extract was not shown to stimulate the production of IL-2. From the above results, it is shown that Ceriv cornu extract increased antibody production by B cells, but nor IL-2 production by helper T cells.

To investigate the influence of age and dietary fat level on the immune function and the growing potential of the fibroblast cells, male rats of 2 month, 6 month and 30 month of age were fed either 6% or 30% fat diet for 16 weeks. The weight of thymus decreased linearly with increasing age. And this age-dependent degeneration of thymus was delayed in rats fed low fat diets. The blastogenesis of spleen lymphocytes to PHA, ConA, and PWM was decreased with increasing age, however, no effect of dietary fat level was observed. The age-related decline in ratios of PHA/ConA response may suggest that T suppressor cell activity increases with age. In cell culture system, lung fibroblast cells from 30M rats showed lower plating efficiency. longer doubling time. and shorter cumulative doubling potential than those from 2M or 6M animals. Also. the morphology of fibroblasts from 30M rats was tended to be rouned rather than flattened and more variable in size and being generally larger. wherease those from 2M and 6M rats were uniform in size and adhered tightly to the culture vessel in ordered arrays. Therefore fibroblast cell culture system tried in this study reflects the changes of cellular aging.

These experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of Glycyrrhizae Radix extract(GR) on histamine synthesis, lymphocyte blastogenesis in C57BL/6J mice splenocytes, IL-1 production, $Ca^{2+}$ uptake by macrophage-like P388D$_{1}$ cells and plaque forming cell assay against SRBC. Histamine contents, lymphocyte blastogenesis, IL-1 activity, $Ca^{2+}$ uptake and plaque forming cell were determined by enzyme isotope method, [$^{3}$H]-thymidine incorporation, C3H/HeJ mouse thymocytes proliferation, the addition of 5 $\mu$Ci/ml $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ to P388D$_{1}$ cell suspension and assay to sheep red blood cell, respectively. Cytotoxicity, which was expressed as 50% mortality, was occurred by the addition of GR(10$^{-3}$g/ml). Histamine production in mouse spleen cell culture was significantly increased by 48 hour incubation added 0.25$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of Con A. Con A-dependent T-lymphocyte proliferation was also enhanced by the addition of 0.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of Con A. GR depressed histamine contents at 10$^{-9}$~10$^{-4}$g/ml. and Con A (0.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) dependent T-lymphocyte proliferation at 10$^{-5}$~10$^{-4}$g/ml. IL-1 activity was significantly decreased by 10$^{-8}$~10$^{-4}$g/ml of GR. $Ca^{2+}$ uptake was not changed by GR, but antibody production markedly increased at 10.0~50.0 mg/kg of GR. From the above results, it is suggested that GR have immuno-regulatory action; GR decreased cell-mediated immune response and increased antibody production by B lymphocyte at high doses.

Immunosuppressive effects of reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) infection in chickens were investigated. Primary antibody responses to Newcastle disease virus (strain B1) and sheep red blood cells were significantly low in chickens inoculated with the local isolate 89-74 of REV compared to those of uninfected chickens. In chickens infected with REV strain T or 89-74, blastogenesis of spleen cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) to concanavalin A (Con A) was severely suppressed. When specific pathogen free (SPF) chickens were inoculated with the isolate, the suppressive effect was observed up to 7 weeks of age while, in the contact infected chickens, the suppression was absent. Similar suppressive effects were observed in chickens inoculated with REV strain T at 2, 3 and 4 weeks of age. When spleen cells or PBL from uninfected chickens were co-cultured with spleen cells or PBL from chickens infected with REV at 1 day-old or 2 week-old, the blastogenesis of the normal cells was suppressed. The suppressive effect of PBL from REV-infected chickens on normal lymphocytes was abrogated by the treatment with trypsin. However the suppressive activity of the REV-infected PBL was not influenced at removing machrophage from the cell suspension by incubation in plastic petri dishes. In addition to the immunosuppression, chickens infected with the REV isolate showed abnormal feather development (nakanuke), anemia, paralysis and retarded growth. Three out of 11 chickens inoculated with the isolate at day-old died between 6 and 9 weeks of age by bacterial infections.

These experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of glycyrrhizin(GL) and glycyrrhetinic acid(GA) on histamine synthesis, lymphocyte blastogenesis in C57BL/6J mice splenocytes, IL-1 production, $Ca^{2+}$ uptake by macrophage-like P388D$_{1}$ cells and plaque forming cell assay against SRBC. Histamine contents, lymphocyte blastogenesis, IL-1 activity, $Ca^{2+}$ uptake and plaque forming cell were determined by enzyme isotope method, [sup 3/H]-thymidine incorporation, C3H/HeJ mouse thymocytes proliferation, the addition of 5 $\mu$Ci/ml $^{45}$Ca$^{2+}$ to P388D$_{1}$, cell suspension and assay to sheep red blood cell, respectively. Cytotoxicity, which was expressed as 50% mortality, was occurred by the addition of GL(10$^{-3}$M) and GA(10$^{-4}$M). Histamine production in mouse spleen cell culture was significantly increased by the addition of 0.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of Con A, after 48 hour incubation. Con A dependent T-lymphocyte proliferation was also enhanced by the addition of 0.25 .mu.g/ml of Con A. The effects of GL on histamine contents and T-lymphocyte proliferation were significantly decreased at high dose (10$^{-5}$M), while IL-1 activity was remarkably suppressed by 10$^{-8}$~10$^{-4}$M of GL. $Ca^{2+}$ uptake was not changed, but antibody production was increased by GL(10 mg/kg). GA inhibited histamine contents at 10$^{-9}$~10$^{-7}$ and depressed Con A (0.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) dependent T-lymphocyte proliferation at 10$^{-7}$~10$^{-5}$M of GA, but increased suboptimal dose (Con A 0.1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) at 10$^{-9}$~10$^{-7}$M of GA. IL-1 activity was suppressed by 10$^{-8}$~10$^{-4}$M of GA and $Ca^{2+}$ uptake was enhanced by 10$^{-9}$~10$^{-6}$ of GA, but antibody production was not changed by GA. From the above results, it is suggested that GL and GA have immuno-regulatory action. GL decreased cell-mediated immune response, and increased humoral immune response at high dose. On the other hand, low dose of GA enhanced cell-mediated immune response, while high doses of GA decreased humoral immune reaction.

Alginates are polysaccharides with gel-forming properties composed of 1,4-linked $\beta$-D-mannuronic acid (M), $\alpha$-L-guluronic acid (G), and alternating (MG) blocks. The M-and the MG-blocks, but not the G-blocks, have been known to be the active components of the alginates in experimental models. In this study, we have examined the ability of high M-alginate to activate immune cells. Alginate induced the macrophage anti-viral activity and the lymphocyte blastogenesis, and enhanced cytotoxicity of natural killer cell. In addition, alginates stimulated the macrophages to induce the production of $H_{2}O_{2}$, whereas alginates had no effect on NO production and suppressed the production of TNF-$\alpha$. These findings suggest that high M-alginate may be modulating various elements of the host immune response.

연구배경 : 결핵의 감염에서는 세포성면역이 중요하며 그 중에서도 T림프구가 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있고 조력 T림프구와 억제 T림프구의 기능의 불균형이 결핵의 발병에 있어 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 생각되고 있다. 동일한 결핵균의 감염시 일부 환자에서는 결핵의 병변이 폐에 국한되는 반면, 일부의 환자들에서는 폐의 결핵병변의 유무와 관계없이 폐외장기의 결핵이 발생되고 이러한 폐외결핵의 경우 항결핵화학요법에 잘 반응하지 않는 경우를 종종 경험할 수 있을뿐만 아니라 그 유병율의 감소도 폐결핵의 경우와는 달리 현저하지 못하여 폐결핵환자와 페외결핵환자군간의 면역기능의 차이가 의심된다. 방법 : 폐결핵환자와 폐외결핵환자군에서의 T림프구 매개성 세포성면역기능의 차이와 면역기능의 생체내검사와 생체외검사의 상관성을 규명하고자 T림프구 및 아형의 수적변화를 유세포분석법(flow cytometry)을 이용하여 측정하였고 PPD피부반응검사 및 림프아구형성을 측정하여 비교하였다. 결과 : 1) 총 림프구수는 결핵환자군에서 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 감소되어 있었으나 페결핵환자군과 폐외결핵환자군간의 차이는 없었다. 2) PPD 피부반응검사와 백혈구수는 3군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3) $T_3$, $T_4$, $T_8$(+)인 세포의 백분율과 절대수는 3군간에 유의한 차이가 없었으며 $T_4/T_8$의 비도 3군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 4) HLA-DR(+)인 세포의 백분율과 절대수는 대조군에 비하여 결핵환자군에서 유의하게 증가되어 있었으며 $IL_2$ 수용체(+)인 세포의 백분율과 절대수도 결핵환자군에서 유의하게 증가되어 있었으나 폐결핵환자군과 폐외결핵환자군에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 5) Concanavalin-A, Phytohemagglutinin 및 PPD 자극에 대한 림프아구형성은 3군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 6) $T_4$(+)인 림프구의 백분율 및 절대수와 PPD 피부반응검사의 크기사이에는 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 결론 : 이상의 결과에서 폐결핵환자와 페외결핵환자군간에 T림프구성 매개성 세포성면역기능의 변화를 발견할 수 없었다. 그러나 본 연구만으로 세포성 면역기능의 차이를 모두 관찰하였다고 할 수는 없기 때문에 이에 대하여는 추후 연구가 필요하리라고 사료된다.

폐흡충(Paragonimus westermani) 피낭유충을 마우스에 감염시킨 후 in vitro상에서 비장 림프구에 폐흡충 항원, phytohemagglutinin(PHA) 및 혈청 첨가시 림프구 아세포화 반응을 관찰하였다. PHA로 자극시킨 감염 마우스의 비장 림프구는 비감염군에 비해 감염 1 주 후에 평균 53.6%의 유의한 증식 억제를 관찰하였고, 폐흡충 성충항원으로 자극시킨 경우 감염 마우스의 비장 림프구의 증식은 감염 1 주 후부터 6 주까지 비감염군에 비해 중가되었으며 특히 감염 1 주와 4 주 후에는 각각 평균 200.9% 및 280.2%의 유의한 수준으로 증가되었다. 또한 피낭유충 항원으로 감염 마우스의 비장 림프구를 자극시에도 비감염군의 림프구의 증식에 비해 전반적으로 증가되었으며 특히 감염 4 주 째에는 평균 180.5%의 유의한 수준으로 증가하였다. 폐홉충에 감염된 마우스의 감염 4 주 째 혈청을 PHA로 자극시킨 비감염 마우스 비장 림프구에 첨가하였을 때 유의한 수준의 증식의 억제를 관찰하였다. 이러한 결과들로 보아 폐흡충 감염 마우스에서 림프구가 세포 매개성 면역에 관여하며 감염 혈청이 PHA에 대한 T 림프구의 증식을 억제함을 알 수 있었다.
