Chickens were treated intracoelomically with extracts of chicken thymus (TE) and bursa of Fabricius (BE), the former known to be enriched with avian thymic hormone. Doses of 1.0 mg TE enhanced blastogenic responses of peripheral blood lymphocytes to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A for at least 3 wk after cessation of treatment. Very high doses of BE (5.0 mg) also enhanced blastogenic responses to PHA.
给鸡进行腹腔内注射鸡胸腺提取物(TE)和法氏囊提取物(BE),前者已知富含禽类胸腺激素。在停止治疗后,1.0毫克TE的剂量至少3周内增强了外周血淋巴细胞对植物血凝素(PHA)和刀豆球蛋白A的增殖反应。非常高剂量的BE(5.0毫克)也增强了对PHA的增殖反应。
