Influence of selenium on innate immune response in kids
The effect is described of selenium supplemented in an inorganic and organic form on the innate immune response of goats. Though the phagocytic activity (as a marker of the immune function) was found to be low...

NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity modulation by A2 adenosine receptor agonist in different mammalian species
Adenosines, endogenous purine nucleosides, appear in the extracellular space under metabolically stressful conditions associated with ischemia, inflammation, and cell damage. Their activity on innate immunity ...

The effect of an antigenic stimulation on proliferative response in athymic mice
The proliferation activity of the main cellular categories of bone marrow after infusion of3H-thymidine was studied in nu/nu and +/+ 1-month- and 3-month-old BALB/c mice in comparison with lymphoid cells in the s...

Ontogeny of T lymphocytes in the pig
Mononuclear cells isolated from pig fetal thymus (and thymus region), spleen and cord blood were examined for their reactivity with polyclonal sheep anti-pig T cell antiserum. First immunofluorescence-positive...

Immunoglobulin-producing cells in lymphatic tissues of germfree and conventional rabbits as detected by an immunofluorescence method
Lymphatic tissues of GF and CV rabbits were observed. No cells producing IgA and IgM antibodies were detected in appendix, sacculus rotundus, ileum terminale and thymu s of GF rabbits. IgA cells were found in ...

Ontogenetic analysis of some surface markers on pig lymphocytes using fluorescence-activated cell sorter
Surface markers were demonstrated on pig lymphocytes using anti-T call-IgG and anti-Helix pomatia (HP) IgG during prenatal and postnatal development. A fluoreseenceactivated cell sorter analysis of T-cell surface...

Lysosomal enzyme activities in polymorphonuclear leukocytes, macrophages, serum, and spleen of conventional, germ-free, and antigen-free minnesota miniature swine
The activities of lysozyme, myeloperoxidase, and elastase were lower in PMNs and AMs from GF and AF Minnesota miniature piglets than in the leukocytes from their CONV counterparts. In the spleen and serum of g...

Immunological changes after long-term feeding of germfree piglets with protein isolates and yeast cell walls fromCandida utilis as food additives
Germfree piglets were fed a diet supplemented with cell walls and a protein isolate fromCandida utilis for 54 days. Besides morphological signs of activation of the lymphoid tissue which occurred primarily in the...

Inhibitory Action of Pig Alpha-Fetoprotein Early Activated Thymocyte Surface trohugh Na+,K+-Adenosinetriphosphatase
An immunomodulatory effect of pig alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) on early phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated intact thymocytes from piglets was analyzed. The activity of surface-localized Na+, K+-adenosinetriphosphata...

Ontogeny of lymphatic structures in the pig omentum
The development of lymphoid populations in the omentum majus during the prenatal and postnatal life of the pig was studied. T lymphocytes, monocytes and mast cells were first found on the 40th day of gestation...

Lymphatic tissue of the intestinal tract of germfree and conventional rabbits
The lymphatic tissue of ileum, sacculus rotundus and appendix was poorly developed with-out germinal centres in germfree rabbits; on the other hand, in conventional rabbits, the lymphatic tissue was abundant w...

Morphology of germ-free piglets
The postnatal ontogeny of primary (thymus) and secondary (spleen, lymph node, lingual tonsil) lymphoid tissues was studied in germ-free colostrum-deprived piglets up to age of 68 days. The thymus, which is mor...
