Thymus lymphocyte subsets in uraemic rats were studied using monoclonal antibodies. Severe and moderate uraemia was induced in rats, and sham-operated and normal rats were used as the controls. As a result, the weight of the thymus decreased in uraemic rats. As for lymphocyte subsets, the frequency of W3/25+OX8+ decreased and those of W3/25-OX8-, W3/25+OX8- and W3/25- OX8+ relatively increased in uraemic rats. All these changes were more significant in severely uraemic than in moderately uraemic rats. When thymosin fraction 5 (TF5) was administered to severely uraemic rats, the weight of the thymus increased and the lymphocytes subsets normalized. These results suggest that uraemia may cause a maturational impairment of thymus lymphocytes by the depression of thymic hormone secretion.
采用单克隆抗体研究了尿毒症大鼠胸腺淋巴细胞亚群。在大鼠中诱导出重度和中度尿毒症,并将假手术大鼠和正常大鼠作为对照。结果,尿毒症大鼠胸腺重量减轻。至于淋巴细胞亚群,尿毒症大鼠中W3/25+OX8+的频率降低,而W3/25-OX8-、W3/25+OX8-和W3/25-OX8+的频率相对增加。所有这些变化在重度尿毒症大鼠中比在中度尿毒症大鼠中更显著。当给重度尿毒症大鼠注射胸腺素组分5(TF5)时,胸腺重量增加,淋巴细胞亚群恢复正常。这些结果表明,尿毒症可能通过抑制胸腺激素分泌导致胸腺淋巴细胞成熟障碍。
