  • Title: [Role of T- and B-lymphocytes in the heterogeneity of human cell-mediated reactions to bacterial antigens].
    Author: Novikov DK, Novikova VI.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1979 Dec; 88(12):700-2. PubMed ID: 316338.
    Abstract:
    Leucocytes from 30 patients with allergy to tuberculin and bacterial antigens were treated with antithymus (ATS) and anti-immune globulin (AIGS) sera. The leucocyte migration inhibition test (LMIT) was performed with these antigens. ATS abolished the LMIT induced by tuberculin and sometimes by bacterial antigens (staphylococcal, streptococcal etc.). AIGS frequently abolished the LMIT induced by bacterial antigens, but not by tuberculin. In some cases the treatment with any serum abolished the LMIT induced by the antigens, or, on the contrary, it was abolished only by a successive treatment with both sera. The lymphocyte types (T or B) determining the secondary immune response to the same antigen are different in various patients, as well as they differ in the same patients in relation to diverse antigens. Five types of lymphocyte - antigen interrelation in the LMIT have been distinguished.
