To further define the underlying mechanisms of immune suppression induced by UV-B irradiation, we have examined the kinetics of homing patterns of in vitro UV-B-irradiated and gamma-irradiated-thoracic duct lymphocytes (TDL) compared to dendritic cells (DC). Our findings show that 111In-oxine-labeled TDL specifically home to the spleen, liver, lymph nodes, and bone marrow with subsequent recirculation of a large number of cells from the spleen to lymph nodes. In contrast, DC preferentially migrate to the spleen and liver with a relatively insignificant distribution to lymph nodes and an absence of subsequent recirculation. Splenectomy prior to cell injection significantly diverts the spleen-seeking DC to the liver but not to the lymph nodes, while the homing of TDL to lymph nodes is significantly increased. In vitro exposure of 111In-oxine labeled TDL to gamma irradiation does not significantly impair immediate homing to lymphoid tissues but inhibits cell recirculation between 3 and 24 hr. In contrast, gamma irradiation does not affect the tissue distribution of labeled DC, suggesting that DC are more radioresistant to gamma irradiation than TDL. Unlike the findings in animals injected with gamma-irradiated cells, UV-B irradiation virtually abolished the homing of TDL to lymph nodes and significantly reduced the homing of the spleen-seeking DC to the splenic compartment while a large number of cells were sequestered in the liver. The results of in vitro cell binding assay show that TDL, unlike DC, have the capacity to bind to high endothelial venules (HEV) within lymph node frozen sections while gamma and UV-B irradiation significantly inhibit the binding of TDL to lymph node HEV. These findings suggest that: (i) DC, unlike TDL, are unable to recirculate from blood to lymph nodes through HEV; (ii) although gamma irradiation impairs TDL recirculation, it does not affect DC tissue distribution; and (iii) UV-B irradiation impairs both TDL and DC migration patterns. We conclude that the lack of capacity of irradiated TDL to home to lymph nodes is due to damage to cell surface homing receptors and that the failure of DC to home to the lymph node microenvironment is related to the absence of HEV homing receptors on their cell surface. 相似文献

UV-B irradiation (700 J/m2) of bone marrow (BM) cells prior to transplantation into lethally gamma-irradiated (1050 rad) allogeneic rats prevents the development of GVHD and results in a stable mixed lymphohematopoietic chimerism. To better understand the underlying mechanisms of the development of stable radiation chimeras in this model, this study was designed to examine whether the dose (700 J/m2) of UV-B irradiation used for the modulation of the BM inoculum would affect the homing pattern of radiolabeled BM cells compared to that of thoracic duct lymphocytes (TDL) in the naive and lethally irradiated recipients. The results showed that intravenously administered, 111Indium-oxine-labeled, unmodified TDL home specifically to the spleen, lymph nodes, and BM compartments with a subsequent recirculation of a large number of cells from the spleen to the lymph nodes. In contrast, radiolabeled, unmodified BM cells migrate specifically to the spleen, liver, and BM with the lymph nodes, thymus, and nonlymphoid organs containing very little amounts of radioactivity. The stable concentrations of radioactivity in the lymphoid and nonlymphoid compartments between 3 and 72 hr after injection suggest that BM cells, unlike TDL, do not recirculate. The migration pattern of BM cells in the naive recipient was not significantly different from that seen in lethally irradiated animals except for the higher concentration of radioactivity in the spleen and BM of irradiated animals compared to that seen in naive recipients. The similarity of tissue localization of BM cells in naive or in irradiated syngeneic recipients to that of allogeneic recipients suggests that the homing of BM cells is not MHC restricted. Our findings of similarity between tissue localization of UV-B-irradiated labeled BM cells and unmodified BM cells in naive and lethally irradiated recipients suggest that a dose of 700 J/m2 of UV-B irradiation is not capable of impairing BM cell migration although it is sufficient to abolish the homing of TDL to the HEV-bearing organs. Thus, our results show that BM cells are less susceptible to cell damage by UV-B irradiation than lymphocytes thereby providing the rationale for ex vivo modulation (rather than elimination) of mature T-lymphocytes in the donor BM inoculum with UV-B irradiation. This relatively simple and effective approach to modulation of T-cells in donor BM inoculum may be potentially useful in preventing GVHD without endangering successful engraftment in larger animals and in man. 相似文献

In this study, cellular requirements for rejection are examined by the use of adoptive transfer assays in the ACI to Lewis cardiac allograft model. The findings show that adoptive transfer of 1 x 10(8) spleen cells (SpL), 5 x 10(7) T-cells, and 2 x 10(7) helper T-cells (W3/25+) obtained from normal, nonsensitized donors restores acute ACI graft rejection in sublethally irradiated (750 rad) Lewis recipients. In contrast, reconstitution with 2 x 10(7) cytotoxic T-cells (0X8+) does not restore first-set graft rejection. Reconstitution of the irradiated recipients with either W3/25+ or 0X8+ T-cells obtained from specifically sensitized syngeneic donors resulted in acute rejection. The W3/25+ T-cell subset was significantly more potent (P less than 0.01) in effecting rejection on a per-cell basis. Adoptive transfer of SpL, T-cells, and 0X8+ T-cells obtained from sensitized rats led to accelerated cardiac allograft rejection in the naive secondary recipients while W3/25+ T-cells did not. This study suggests that although the W3/25+ T-cells alone have the capacity to initiate first-set graft rejection, both W3/25+ and 0X8+ subsets appear to be critical to the completion of rejection of heart allografts. We also examined the capacity of adoptively transferred B-cells from sensitized donors to influence graft rejection. Our findings suggest that while B-cells fail to restore the capacity for graft rejection in irradiated recipients, they can, however, present MHC antigens to the secondary naive host thus causing allosensitization which results in accelerated rejection of a subsequent graft. 相似文献

The main objectives of this investigation were to quantify the use of dichlorvos and trichlorfon in the treatment of salmon lice infestations, to evaluate the prescribing of these drugs, and to estimate possible changes in the salmon lice problem by use of drug statistics. This study has shown that the use of trichlorfon increased from 4.9 tons in 1981 to 28.3 tons in 1985. This figure declined to 3.2 tons in 1988. The use of dichlorvos increased from 0.3 tons in 1986 to 3.2 tons in 1988. The change in the prescribing from trichlorfon to dichlorvos has dramatically reduced the pollution caused by these substances in the marine environment. Moreover, if necessary safety rules are observed, this change reduces the exposure of the workers on fish farms to these drugs, and also reduces the possibilities of intoxications of the fish during the treatment procedure. The sales figures of dichlorvos and trichlorfon, related to the calculated biomass of farmed salmonids in the sea, indicate a dramatic increase in the salmon lice problem. 相似文献

Complexes of paramagnetic ions that are tissue-, organ- or tumor-specific will supplement routine magnetic resonance imaging, help assess organ perfusion, and in some cases assess specific organ function. Studies are described in animals and man and the results suggest that dilute iron solutions may be useful for contrast-enhancement of the gastrointestinal tract; that ferrioxamine B, a stable ferric iron complex, appears to permit identification of focal blood-brain-barrier defects and to assess renal excretory function; and that gadolinium-DTPA can produce contrast-enhancement of a variety of lesions. In addition, gadolinium-DTPA can detect a breakdown in the blood-brain-barrier and can delineate functioning myocardium in the setting of acute ischemia. 相似文献

Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a guanethidine derivative that is selectively concentrated in sympathetic nervous tissue. MIBG labeled with 123I or 131I has proven to be a specific and sensitive tool for detection of primary and metastatic pheochromocytoma and neuroblastoma. Eleven patients, with refractory stage IV neuroblastoma were treated with a total of 23 courses of 131I-MIBG, 100-400 mCi/m2/course. Total activity administered per course ranged from 90-550 mCi; maximum cumulative radioactivity per patient was 1356 mCi. The 131I-MIBG was given as a 2 hour infusion. Total body dose was calculated from whole body activity measurements, ranging from 73-250 cGy. The main toxicity was thrombocytopenia, with platelet nadirs to less than 25,000/microL in 5/23 courses (5 patients), all occurring in patients with greater than 25% replacement by tumor in the bone marrow. Neutropenia to a nadir of less than 500/microL was seen in only 2 patients, both with greater than 50% bone marrow replacement after 2 and 4 courses of 131I-MIBG, respectively. Tumor doses were calculated in patients with an evaluable measurable lesion, and ranged from 312-6329 cGy per course. Two of the eleven patients had partial responses, with one long-term survivor with stage IV neuroblastoma with no evidence of active disease now 4 years off treatment. Two other patients survive with stable disease after 3 treatments, at 3+ and 5+ months. Seven patients died with progressive disease. This study shows that treatment with 131I-MIBG is safe and can be effective in refractory neuroblastoma, particularly in patients who do not have extensive bone and bone marrow involvement. 相似文献

Veterinarians representing one third of the Norwegian fish farms were asked about the clinical use of dichlorvos and trichlorfon by use of a questionnaire. A total of 45 veterinarians had experience in treatment of salmon lice with these organophosphates. Fourty-nine percent of the veterinarians reported that the fish farmers in their region solely used the recommended treatment equipment when delousing the fish, of these ½ always oxygenated the treatment solution. Repeated treatment were always prescribed by 24% of the veterinarians, while 44% did this occasionally. Of the 45 veterinarians 7% were often present and 44% were occasionally present at the fish farms in connection with the treatment. The answers showed that compliance with the recommended treatment procedures was unsatisfactory. 相似文献
