The experiments described herein demonstrate the plaque-forming cell response of C3H/HeJ mice can be suppressed by a Boivin type lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and a deproteinized glycolipid. Suppression was observed both in vivo and in vitro, and could be transferred to normal cells in coculture experiments. This newly discovered effect of LPS in C3H/HeJ mice indicates that the adjuvant and inhibitory action of LPS may be distinct phenomena which are under different genetic regulation. Thus, the C3H/HeJ strain provides a convenient animal model for study of immunosuppression independent of the adjuvant effect.
本文所述实验表明,博伊文型脂多糖(LPS)和去蛋白化糖脂可抑制C3H/HeJ小鼠的噬斑形成细胞反应。体内和体外实验均观察到抑制作用,并且在共培养实验中该抑制作用可转移至正常细胞。LPS在C3H/HeJ小鼠中这一新发现的效应表明,LPS的佐剂作用和抑制作用可能是受不同基因调控的不同现象。因此,C3H/HeJ品系为研究独立于佐剂效应的免疫抑制提供了一个便利的动物模型。
