Effect of Cyclophosphamide Administration after Stimulation With Phytohemagglutinin on Immune Response in Mice

Phytohemagglutinin 자극후(刺戟後) Cyclophosphamide 투여(投與)가 마우스의 면역반응(免疫反應)에 미치는 영향(影響)

This study was undertaken to elucidate the mechanism of the cyclophosphamide(CY)-induced potentiation of cell-mediated immune response by observing the effect of the phytohemaggllutinin(PHA) treatment before the CY administration into mice. Cy administration reduced the circulating white blood cells especially lymphocyte. PHA pretreatment before CY administration enhanced the depressing effect of CY administration on white blood cells. CY administration suppressed both the antibody formation to sheep red blood cells(SRBC) and rosette formation on the spleen cells with SRBC severely. On the other hand, CY administration potentiated the delayed-type hypersensitivity(DTH) strongly. Injection of PHA into mice slightly inhibited both the antibody formation and the DTH. PHA pretreatment before CY administration into mice suppressed not only humoral immune response but also cell-mediated immune response and the degrees of suppression were most remarkable when the PHA pretreatment was performed 5 days before CY administration. This depression of DTH caused by PHA pretreatment before CY administration may be the result that PHA stimulation make the helper cell sensitive to CY. The potentiation of cell-mediated immune response by CT may be due to the destruction of CY-sensitive suppressor T cell.

Phytohemagglutinia(PHA) 단독투여(單獨投與) 및 PHA와 Cyclophosphamide(CY)의 동시투여(同時投與)가 마우스의 세포성(細胞性) 및 체액성면역(體液性免疫)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 알아보고저 면양적혈구(緬羊赤血球)(SRBC)로 마우스를 면역(免疫)하기 전에 PHA 및 CY를 투여(投與)하여 말초혈액(末梢血液)의 총(總) 백혈구수(白血球數)와 백혈구백분율검사(白血球百分率檢査), SRBC로 유도(誘導)한 족척종창반응검사(足蹠腫脹反應檢査) 및 비장세포(脾臟細胞)의 rosette 형성검사(形成檢査)를 실시(實施)하였으며 아울러 SRBC에 대(對)한 응집소항체가(凝集素抗體價) 및 용혈소항체가(溶血素抗體價)를 측정(測定)하였다. 그 결과(結果) PHA를 투여(投與)한 마우스군(群)의 면역반응(免疫反應)은 대체(大體)로 감소(減少)되었다. CY만을 투여(投與)한 마우스군(群)의 체액성면역반응(體液性免疫反應)은 감소(減少)되었으나 세포성(細胞性) 면역반응(免疫反應)은 증가(增加)되었다. 이에 반(反)하여 CY 투여전(投與前)에 PHA로 마우스를 전처리(前處理)한 경우 체액성면역반응(體液性免疫反應) 뿐만 아니라 세포성(細胞性) 면역반응(免疫反應)도 감소(減少)되었는데 이 면역반응(免疫反應)의 감소(減少)는 PHA를 CY 투여(投與) 5일전(日前)에 전처리(前處理)한 마우스군(群)에서 가장 현저(顯著)하였다.
