The retroviruses carrying ${\nu}-myc$ and ${\nu}-raf$ oncogenes were infected into fetal thymic organ culture (FTOC) to study the molecular mechanisms involved in T cell development. T cell lymphomas in the different stages of T cell development were obtained from this culture system. Interestingly, a few cell lines obtained from this system have a lack of transfected oncogenes, however these cells have the characteristics of transformed cells. In spite of the discrete phenotype of these transformed cell lines, the same pattern of recombination of endogenous c-raf genes was detected from Southern blot analysis. We suggest in this regard that the translocation event of thymocytes, or abnormal promoter activity, can cause lymphomagenesis by way of c-raf.

We have previously observed that glycyrrhizin(GL) inhibits the proliferation of transplanted-L1210 cells via the production of nitric oxide from peritoneal macrophages. In the present study, we examined the effect of GL on Iymphocytes subpopulation change of L1210 cells-transplanted mice. GL increased the population of $CD4^-CD8^+$ cells of thymocytes in L1210 cells-transplanted mice and the lucigenin chemiluminescence of human polymorphonuclear cells. These results suggest that the proliferation of transplanted-L1210 cells is partly inhibited by an enhancement of cytotoxic T cells population and phagocytic activity in GL-administered mice.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of Cheongsimondam-tang(CSODT) on the activity of immune cell and anti-carcinogenic effect of mouse leukemia cell. The addition of CSODT(1 ㎍/ml) enhanced the proliferation of cultured-splenocytes and thymocytes. And also administration of CSODT(500 ㎍/kg) accelerated subpopulation of splenic and thymic T lymphocytes especially CD4/sup +/-T/sub H/ cells in BALB/c mice. CSODT treatment decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptotic cell death of cultured-L1210 leukemia cells, and induced apoptosis in addition to decreased mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨm) of transplanted-L1210 cells in vivo. These results suggest that CSODT have a cellular immuno-regulatory effect and anti-cancer property action.

The oral administration of Aurantii nobilis pericarpium (ANP) extract and Aurantii immaturi pericarpium (AIP) extract suppressed the cell viability of both thymocytes and splenocytes in BALB/c mice. The ANP extract (500 mg/kg) enhanced the population of $B220^+$ cells, and the AIP also enhanced the population of B220+ and Thy-1+ cells in splenocytes. The AIP extract enhanced the population of $CD4-CD8^+$ cells in splenic T-lymphocytes. However, the ANP did not affect, whereas the AIP enhanced the phagocytic activity and the nitric oxide production in peritoneal macrophages.

Taklysodoksan(TSS) was a drug used in the treatment of carbuncle and cellulitis in oriental medicine. The purpose of this Study is to investigate the anti-cancer effect of TSS, the proliferation of immunocytes and nitric oxide(NO) production from peritoneal macrophages of mice. This Study estimated the proliferation of Ll210 cell lines, mouse thymocytes and splenocytes and NO production from peritoneal macrophages in vitro and vivo. The proliferation of cells was tested using a colorimetric tetrazoliun assay(MTT assay). From the in vitro and vivo Study of TSS treatment, it did not effect the proliferation of L1210 cells. It also did not have any positive prodution of NO in peritoneal macrophages. This results suggest that TSS treatment in WanBingHuiChun(萬病回春) did not have significant anti-cancer effect and immuno-action comparing with TSS treatment of WaiKeZhengZhong(外科正宗).

ShingongNaetakSan(SNS) was drugs used in treatment of carbuncle and cellulitis in Oriental So, the purpose of this Study was to investigate effect of SNS on the proliferation of immunocytes and anti-cancer. This Study estimated the proliferation of L1210 cell lines and S-180 cell lines in vitro. and estimated the proliferation of L1210 cells, thymocytes and splenocytes, and tumor weight, body weight and mean survival rates in vivo. The proliferation and cytotoxicity of cells was tested using a colorimetric tetrazoliun assy(MTT assy). The results of this study were obtained as follow ; SNS had effect on the proliferation of L1210 cells in vitro and splenocytes in vivo, and SNS decreased significantly tumor weight, and increased significantly mean survival rates.

The purpose of this research was to investigate effects of Bangpoongtongsungsan water extract(BTSE) on the immune reaction, anti-allergy action and anti-inflammatory action in BALB/c mice. The administration of BTSE (500mg/kg) enhanced the cell viability of thymocytes and the population of helper T cells in splenic T-lymphocytes. BTSE suppressed the production of nitric oxide, but enhanced the phagocytic activity in peritoneal macrophages. BTSE enhanced hemagglutination titer in mice. BTSE inhibited passive cutaneous anaphylaxis induced by egg albumin in rat, the lethal anaphylaxis induced by platelet activating factor and compound 48/80 in mice, and then inhibited the degranulation of peritoneal mast cells induced by compound 48/80. BTSE did not inhibit Arthus reaction, but inhibited the delayed type hypersensitivity induced by SRBC and contact dermatitis induced by DNFB. BTSE inhibited the acute hind paw edema induced by histamine after 30 minutes, the permeability of evans blue into peritoneal cavity induced by acetic acid and the writhing syndrome induced by acetic acid. These results suggest that BTSE has an immunopotentiative action, anti-allergy action and anti-inflammatory action via the inhibition of histamine release.

T cell receptor (TCR) signaling plays a critical role in T cell development, survival and differentiation. In the thymus, quantitative and/or qualitative differences in TCR signaling determine the fate of developing thymocytes and lead to positive and negative selection. Recently, it has been suggested that self-reactive T cells, escape from negative selection, should be suppressed in the periphery by regulatory T cells (Tregs) expressing Foxp3 transcription factor. Foxp3 is a master factor that is critical for not only development and survival but also suppressive activity of Treg. However, signals that determine Treg fate are not completely understood. The availability of mutant mice which harbor mutations in TCR signaling mediators will certainly allow to delineate signaling events that control intrathymic (natural) Treg (nTreg) development. Thus, we summarize the recent progress on the role of TCR signaling cascade components in nTreg development from the studies with murine model.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of Maekmoondong-tang(MMDT) on the activity of immune cell. The addition of MMDT(10 ㎍/㎖) enhanced the proliferation of cultured-splenocytes and thymocytes. And administration of MMDT(250, 500 ㎎/㎏) accelerated subpopulation of splenic T lymphocytes in BALB/c mice. In contrast, the treatment of the high concentration (500 ㎎/㎏)of MMDT were decreased thymic T lymphocytes. Administration of MMDT(250, 500 ㎎/㎏) eminently enhanced the production of IFN-γ. And MMDT did not affect the cell viability of Jurkat leukemia cells. These results suggest that MMDT have a immunoregulatory effect via enhanced cell mediated immunity
