Infection of C57BL/10 (B10)3 nu/nu mice with Trypanosoma rhodesiense results in the development of significant T-cell reactivity in spleen and lymph nodes. The proliferative responses to mitogens, such as concanavalin A (Con A) and phytohemagglutinin (PHA), and in mixed-lymphocyte reactions (MLR) to alloantigens are enhanced compared with control uninfected nu/nu mice. These results serve to emphasize the stimulatory nature of trypanosomes on the immune system.
用罗德西亚锥虫感染C57BL/10(B10)3裸鼠会导致脾脏和淋巴结中出现显著的T细胞反应性。与未感染的对照裸鼠相比,对丝裂原(如刀豆球蛋白A(Con A)和植物血凝素(PHA))的增殖反应以及对同种异体抗原的混合淋巴细胞反应(MLR)增强。这些结果强调了锥虫对免疫系统的刺激性质。
