The blastogenic response of male and female snake (Psammophis sibilans) peripheral blood lymphocytes to concanavalin A, phytohaemagglutinin, and E. coli lipopolysaccharide was tested for putative sex-associated differences. Data obtained suggest that normal female blood lymphocytes respond relatively vigorous in comparison to male cells or cells taken from gravid female snakes. The data are discussed in terms of possible correlations with the normal status of the animal.
检测了雄性和雌性蛇(沙蟒)外周血淋巴细胞对刀豆球蛋白A、植物血凝素和大肠杆菌脂多糖的增殖反应,以寻找可能存在的性别相关差异。所获数据表明,与雄性细胞或妊娠雌蛇的细胞相比,正常雌性血淋巴细胞的反应相对更为活跃。从该动物的正常状态可能存在的相关性方面对这些数据进行了讨论。
