“…Although both the humoral and cellular immune apparatus was sensitized to sperm and seminal plasma antigens, no change was observed in the counts of T, B and ET cells. Gill et al (1984) and Ganguly et al (1979) have reported that even with relatively low T cell counts it is possible to obtain blastogenic responses that are higher than baseline if sensitization to antigen has occurred. With regard to the B cell count, no clear cut explanation is forthcoming from the present study.…”

The development of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses and circulating immune complexes following vasectomy were studied in rhesus monkeys fed a high cholesterol (atherogenic) diet. Four groups of monkeys were studied: (i) sham-vasectomized males fed a normal stock diet, (ii) sham-vasectomized males fed an atherogenic diet, (iii) vasectomized males fed a normal stock diet, and (iv) vasectomized males fed an atherogenic diet. Monkeys were observed for a period of 1.5 years. Sperm agglutinins and immobilizins in serum were detected in 100 and 60%, respectively, of vasectomized monkeys fed stock diet. In contrast, 60% of vasectomized monkeys fed an atherogenic diet showed agglutinins in their sera and only 20% exhibited immobilizins. The sensitization of lymphocytes by seminal plasma antigens was of a lower order in vasectomized monkeys fed an atherogenic diet as compared to those maintained on a stock diet. Circulating immune complexes (CIC) were present in both the groups of vasectomized monkeys but the level was higher in animals fed an atherogenic diet. The aortic atherosclerosis score was increased significantly in vasectomized monkeys fed an atherogenic diet, whereas the coronary atherosclerosis score was increased both in vasectomized males and in animals fed an atherogenic diet.

Generation of reactive oxygen species by Kupffer cells and blood monocytes during intestinal amebiasis in guinea pigs

et al. 1988

The reactive oxygen species generation capacity of Kupffer cells and blood monocytes was studied through chemiluminescence (CL) in guinea pigs, infected intracecally with Entameba histolytica, on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 21 post infection. There was an elevated response up to the 14th post-infection day. The CL response of these cells was diminished on the 21st post infection day though it was significantly higher than up the controls. The CL response increased exponentially with the severity of cecal lesions. A direct correlation was observed between the CL response of phagocytic cells and cecal lesions of animals. The role of oxygen species in causation of tissue injury during intestinal amebiasis is postulated.
