From 44 to 100% of sera from patients with infectious mononucleosis exhibited the capacity to stimulate colony formation in vitro by mouse bone marrow cells. The proportion of sera with colony-stimulating activity was highest in patients with a short fever period and developing low Paul-Bunnell titres. Patients with a more severe course of the disease generally displayed no, or only weak, colony-stimulating activity in their sera, and also had higher Paul-Bunnell titres. The level of serum colony-stimulating activity tended to fall in the convalescent stages of the disease.
传染性单核细胞增多症患者的血清中,有44%至100%表现出在体外刺激小鼠骨髓细胞形成集落的能力。发热期短且嗜异性凝集试验效价低的患者中,具有集落刺激活性的血清比例最高。病情较重的患者,其血清通常没有或仅有微弱的集落刺激活性,且嗜异性凝集试验效价较高。在疾病的恢复期,血清集落刺激活性水平往往会下降。
