Mitogen-stimulated lymphocyte proliferation, delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions, interleukin-2 (IL-2) production, and growth performance were evaluated in 3-week-old pigs treated with imuthiol. Lymphocyte proliferative responses to Con A and PWM were reduced (P less than 0.05) in pigs treated with imuthiol at 25 mg/kg; PHA proliferative responses were not influenced by imuthiol treatment. Imuthiol at 2.5 mg/kg lowered IL-2 production when compared to saline-treated controls. Delayed-type hypersensitivity responses to PHA were higher in 25 mg/kg imuthiol-treated pigs; however, 2.5 mg/kg imuthiol-treated pigs had lower DHT reactions. Imuthiol at 2.5 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg reduced (P less than 0.05) average daily feed intake. These data suggest that in vivo imuthiol treatment in pigs lowers lymphocyte proliferative responses, IL-2 production, and growth performance.
对用免疫硫醇处理的3周龄仔猪评估了丝裂原刺激的淋巴细胞增殖、迟发型超敏反应(DTH)、白细胞介素-2(IL-2)产生和生长性能。用25mg/kg免疫硫醇处理的仔猪对刀豆蛋白A和美洲商陆有丝分裂原的淋巴细胞增殖反应降低(P<0.05);免疫硫醇处理对PHA增殖反应无影响。与生理盐水处理的对照组相比,2.5mg/kg的免疫硫醇降低了IL-2的产生。对PHA的迟发型超敏反应在25mg/kg免疫硫醇处理的仔猪中较高;然而,2.5mg/kg免疫硫醇处理的仔猪DHT反应较低。2.5mg/kg和25mg/kg的免疫硫醇降低了(P<0.05)平均日采食量。这些数据表明,猪体内免疫硫醇处理会降低淋巴细胞增殖反应、IL-2产生和生长性能。
