Lymphocyte subsets from four groups of Lobund-Wistar (L-W) rats were quantitated to determine the influence of diet restriction (DR) and exposure to environmental antigens on the development of these cells. The following effects were found from 6 to 30 months of age: The number of Ts/c and Ts cells were higher in germ-free (GF) vs conventional (CV) rats, whereas B-cell numbers were lower. W3/13 T cells, Ts, and NK cell numbers were higher in DR vs full-fed rats, whereas B-cell numbers were lower. OX19 and W3/13 T cell numbers decreased from 6 months to 30 months in each group, whereas NK cell numbers increased. Also, OX6+ B cell numbers increased with age, and Ts/c numbers decreased. These data may reflect a relationship between enhanced T-cell function and the extended life span and lower tumor incidence observed in DR L-W rats.
对四组洛本德-威斯塔(L-W)大鼠的淋巴细胞亚群进行定量分析,以确定饮食限制(DR)和暴露于环境抗原对这些细胞发育的影响。在6至30个月龄时发现了以下效应:无菌(GF)大鼠的抑制性T细胞/细胞毒性T细胞(Ts/c)和抑制性T细胞(Ts)数量高于普通(CV)大鼠,而B细胞数量则较低。与全喂饲大鼠相比,DR大鼠的W3/13 T细胞、Ts细胞和自然杀伤(NK)细胞数量更高,而B细胞数量更低。每组中OX19和W3/13 T细胞数量从6个月到30个月减少,而NK细胞数量增加。此外,OX6+B细胞数量随年龄增加,Ts/c数量减少。这些数据可能反映了DR L-W大鼠中增强的T细胞功能与延长的寿命和较低的肿瘤发生率之间的关系。
