Soy Isoflavone Supplementation Does Not Alter Lymphocyte Proliferation and Cytokine Production In Postmenopausal Women
A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that soy isoflavone consumption may protect against the development of various chronic diseases. This protection could be linked to isoflavone-induced alterations in immune function. However, recent in vitro and animal studies suggest that soy isoflavones …

Photoperiodic Effects on Immune Function in Dairy Cattle: Potential Mediation Through Prolactin and Its Receptor
… relative to long day photoperiod treatment, on lymphocyte proliferation of Holstein steers. Use of bromocriptine to reduce circulating prolactin in animals on a long day photoperiod increased lymphocyte proliferation and neutrophil chemotaxis to levels observed in short day photoperiod treated …

Prostaglandins Modulate the Uterine Response to Infectious Bacteria in Postpartum and Estrous Cyclic Ewes
… d 10) or were SHAM or OVEX. Vena caval blood and lymphocytes were collected on d 14, and 16 to 19. All ewes received intrauterine inoculations of bacteria on d 15 and uteri were collected on d 20. Ewes receiving P4 developed infections. Lymphocytes were incubated with mitogens, PGE2, indomethacin …

Immunomodulation by dietary lipids: soybean oil, menhaden fish oil, chicken fat, and hydrogenated soybean oil in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) and Bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus)
… to HSBO fed birds. There was no difference in B lymphocyte proliferation stimulated by lipopolysacchride (LPS) in female JAP, whereas it was significantly higher in male JAP fed SBO compared to those fed FO and HSBO. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate/ionomycin calcium salt (PMA/ION) was used to …

Effect of Whey Protein Isolate on Oxidative Stress, Exercise Performance, and Immunity
… burst, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferation, and PBMC phenotyping. Subjects consumed 40g/day of WPI or casein placebo (P) along with their normal diet for 2 wk, repeated the exercise test, and then began a low energy period continuing the same supplementation for 4 d before the …

Adoptive transfer of immunity to rabies virus
<p>Antigen stimulated lymphocyte cell culture transfer factor, purified by gel filtration and lymphocyte lysate transfer factor, purified by dialysis, was used in efforts to transfer immunity to rabies virus adoptively in various laboratory and wildlife animals. Transfer factor activity was …

Abnormal regulation of T lymphocytes from aged rats contributes to immunosenescence
Regulation of T lymphocyte proliferation from aged rats was explored by activating lymphocytes to proliferate with the T cell lectin Con A, the calcium ionophores A23187 and ionomycin and the protein kinase C activator, PMA. Similar to human T lymphocytes, but unlike mouse lymphocytes, rat …

In Vitro Evaluation of Cancer Patient Immune Responses Following Infusion of Radiolabeled Murine Monoclonal Antibody
… receptors (IL-2R) are expressed on the lymphocyte cell surface and released into serum soon after immune activation has begun. Another early sign of immune activation is lymphocyte proliferation. The detection of IL-2R production or increased lymphoproliferation in cancer patients …

Induction of anti-ergotamine antibodies in mice and steers and protection against fescue toxicosis in mice
… to vaccination, despite hyperprolactinemia. Lymphocyte proliferation responses to mitogens in mice fed EI diets were similar to mice fed EF diets. Production of interferon gamma and interleukin-4 was higher by splenocytes from mice fed EI diets, whereas interleukin-2 tended to be lower. …

Regulation of macrophage activities by tumor growth: mechanisms of immunosuppression
… antigens, and stimulation of anti-tumor lymphocytes are all involved in the battle against tumor growth. However, other Mφ activities such as cell growth promotion, angiogenesis, and suppression of anti-tumor lymphocytes aid in tumor growth. This dissertation discusses how tumors control …

Effects of Acute Nutritional Deprivation on Lymphocyte Subsets and Membrane Function in Cats
… deprivation and subsequent refeeding on lymphocyte functions and subpopulations were examined in 23 healthy cats. Peripheral blood samples were analyzed at various times during fasting and refeeding periods. During the fasting period, decreases were observed in leukocyte number (day 4; p …

Bi-directional tumour-host interaction in a murine model
… response profiles were defined in terms of lymphocyte proliferation, cytotoxic function and lymphocyte subsets in naive non-tumour bearing mice and mice with increasing tumour burden. The effect of this antitumour immune response on the developing tumour was examined in a model of mixed …

Paclitaxel-induced macrophage activities in the tumor-bearing host: immunologic implications and therapeutic applications
… paclitaxel's cytostatic mechanisms suppress lymphocyte proliferation and function. We showed that IL-12 can reverse paclitaxel-mediated suppression of T-cell responses in vitro, establishing the foundation for a novel antitumor therapy using paclitaxel in combination with IL-12. We show that …

TLR4 expression on equine B lymphocytes: a clue to LPS sensitivity?
… on equine B cells. TLR4 expression on B lymphocytes has been studied in mouse, human and many other mammals, but has not been well characterized in the horse. Humans are highly sensitive to LPS but their B cells express non-functional TLR4. Mice in contrast are highly tolerant of LPS yet …

Glucocorticosteroid modification of lymphocyte blastogenesis in fibrosarcoma-bearing mice
… succinate (HCS) on mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation were assessed. T cells from nontumor-bearing mice showed a 2-fold suppression of phytohemagglutinin (PHA) responsiveness with the addition of 0.1 µg HCS. However, T cells from mice with 3-4 week tumors did not demonstrate as …

The Genetic Impact of Stress Responsiveness and Disease Susceptibility in Pigs
… imposed in this study, but stress affected CORT, lymphocyte proliferation (LPA), and natural killer cytotoxicity (NK). Furthermore, among stressed-pigs, social status influenced total white blood cell counts (WBC), NK, and PHAGO. The experiment described in chapter 3 was designed to determine the …

Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis. Preliminary Investigation of Protozoan-Host interactions in the horse
… were the only cells that showed a decreased proliferation (p<0.05). A difference between EPM affected and control horses could not be detected (p>0.05). These results may imply that the persistence of S. neurona infection in the horses CNS is, in part, due to a pathogen-derived mechanism that …
