The augmentative effects of isolated components of human dialyzable leukocyte lysates upon the proliferative response to antigen were investigated. Sequential Sephadex G-25 and Bio-Gel P-4 chromatography separated five distinct fractions which, 24 hr after injection into Keyhole limpet hemacyanin (KLH)-sensitive mice, either augmented or suppressed the in vitro spleen cell proliferative response to KLH. An amplifier molecule was isolated from one of the augmentative fractions by high-pressure, reverse-phase liquid chromatography. Preliminary structural analysis of the amplifier component indicated a nucleoside structure, similar to—but possibly distinct from—thymidine. 相似文献

Purpose
This paper is part 1 of our twin articles on income reference points for Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA). Preventative costs based LCA systems, such as the EcoCost system and the Oiconomy system, need targets (performance reference points) to determine the marginal preventative costs, the costs of the most expensive measure that globally needs to be employed to reach the target. To extend the EcoCost system for social issues, targets are required for issues like fair wages and fair inequality of wages, issues for which no agreed standard, no effect level or target exists. One way of setting targets is to take best practices as benchmark, e.g. the practices of a group of best performing countries. The purpose of this part 1 article is to first develop a well-founded benchmark group of the 20 % best performing countries and thereafter propose a well-founded target for the issue of inequality for preventative costs based SLCA, which can also serve as performance reference point for SLCA in general and for other uses. In part 2, for the same purposes and using the same benchmark group, we propose targets for fair minimum wages for every country.Methods
A benchmark group of countries for the setting of targets was determined by an assessment of available country performance indicators, based on 5 criteria. Thereafter, we derived a proposal for a maximum inequality ratio based on existing democratically determined inequality ratios in the benchmark group.Results and discussion
The Sustainable Society Index–Human Wellbeing proved the best indicator for a country benchmark for preventative cost-based SLCA. Using the average of maximum democratically determined income differences in a benchmark group of countries determined by this index, a performance reference point for SLCA for the issue of fair inequality was derived and proposed, resulting in a maximum ratio of income differences for governmental institutions of 14.1, for government ruled companies of 18.3 and for industry of a factor 23.8.Conclusions
It proved possible to derive a target for maximum inequality of wages, based on democratic choices in a benchmark group of the 20 % best performing countries. The target for governmental institutions may be called objective, and proposed augmentations for government ruled companies and industry, though value choices, seem reasonable for the consumer who requires prevention of all possible harm as consequence of his purchase choices and who, as a voter, contributes to governmental standards.6.

Two sets of ((resistant x susceptible) F1----parent) and (parent----F1) chimeric mice were prepared. In the chimeric combinations involving BALB/c and DBA/1 mice, all (F1----F1) chimeras developed arthritis as well as potent anticollagen responses after immunization with collagen, whereas all (F1----BALB/c) and (BALB/c----F1) chimeras induced neither arthritis nor immune responses. This type of F1 T cells could be activated with APC from DBA/1 but not from BALB/c mice. Thus, the failure of the [F1 in equilibrium with BALB/c] chimeras to mount anticollagen responses was due to a defect at the APC level. Another arthritis-resistant strain, C57BL/6, exhibited adequate APC function, but reduced T cell responsiveness, representing an intermediate responder. In the chimeric combinations involving C57BL/6 and DBA/1 mice, (F1----F1) and (C57BL/6----C57BL/6) chimeras developed very high and very low incidence of arthritis, respectively. (C57BL/6----F1) chimeras developed an appreciable incidence of arthritis under conditions in which this group of chimeras generated intermediate levels of anticollagen responses. In contrast, (F1----C57BL/6) chimeras developed low incidence of disease despite induction of strong responses. Moreover, cells from collagen-immunized (F1----C57BL/6) chimeras, when transferred into T cell-depleted B cell mice of F1 or C57BL/6 strain, produced comparable immune responses in both groups but induced much more severe arthritis in F1 than in C57BL/6 recipients. These results indicate that: i) two types of arthritis-resistant strains can be identified, each of which has anticollagen APC defect as a low responder and reduced T cell responsiveness as an intermediate responder and ii) a discrepancy between the degree of anticollagen responses and clinical arthritis is attributed to the differential susceptibility to anticollagen immune responses. 相似文献

A factor extracted from syngeneic thymic lymphoid cells (thymocytes) is shown to amplify the proliferative (MLC) response of syngeneic lymphoid cells to alloantigen in vitro. The optimal conditions for an effect of the thymus factor are quantitatively defined by kinetic and dose-response studies. Other variables that could potentially influence the activity of the thymus factor, such as the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol and the source of alloantigen, are identified. Factor activity can be recovered from semi-allogeneic thymocytes, as well as syngeneic thymocytes. The factor appears to predominantly effect the proliferative response of T cells localized in peripheral lymphoid organs. As such, this factor appears to be distinct from the variety of previously described factors derived from thymic reticuloepithelial elements that are thought to primarily induce the differentiation of T cell precursors found predominantly in bone marrow. Several possible mechanisms of action of this thymocyte-derived factor are considered. 相似文献

The effector T cell repertoire in experimental interstitial nephritis was examined in a variety of susceptible and nonsusceptible mice. We observed that L3T4+ effector T cells in disease-susceptible mice disappear soon after immunization in preference to the emergence of Lyt-2+ effector cells. These latter cells respond with delayed-type hypersensitivity to tubular antigen in the context of H-2K. Such cells also express idiotypes (RE-Id) shared with kidney-bound alpha TBM-Ab that are regulated by an interactional effect of genes in Igh-1 and H-2K. These Lyt-2+ effector cells can be removed from renal infiltrates, and the transfer of similar cells under the renal capsule of naive mice results, within 5 days, in local interstitial nephritis. Nonsusceptible mice, however, not having these immune response genes, produce either L3T4+, Lyt-1+, RE-Id- effector T cells, which only respond to tubular antigen in the context of I-A, or Lyt-2+, RE-Id- T cells, which may lack very fine specificity. These findings suggest that susceptible mice carry a unique set of immune response genes that promote a T cell selection process that operates after induction, during the differentiation and development of disease-producing effector T cells. 相似文献
