Cytotoxic action of immune lymphocytes on “adherent” cells (macrophages) of lymph nodes in an autologous system in hypersensitivity of delayed type

The cytotoxic action of immune lymphocytes on adherent cells (macrophages; AC) of lymph glands from guinea pigs with hypersensitivity of delayed type (HDT) to streptococcal antigens and to tuberculin proteins was studied in an autologous system. Death of a considerable number of AC during cultivation of a suspension of lymph gland cells from animals sensitized with a streptococcal culture or Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine (BCG) was demonstrated in the presence only of the specific antigen (thermostable fraction of streptococcus or of tuberculin respectively). The discovery of death of AC in an autologous system can be used as a specific and sensitive test with which to study HDT.Laboratory of Streptococcal Infections, N. F.

Role of level of serotonin activity in the “shock lung” syndrome

Experiments on rats showed that the level of serotonin activity influences the formation of the shock lung syndrome. In hypoactivity tachyhypopnea is observed and the lung shows a pathomorphological picture characterized by numerous atelectases; in hyperactivity there is a corresponding tachyhyperpnea and a very small number of atelectases.Kazan' Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics.

“Exercise pyrogens”

Blood plasma taken from subjects either at rest or during muscular exercise was injected intravenously into rabbits. The rectal temperature of the animals changed differently: After injection of exercise plasma the temperature was at a higher level. This effect can be explained by the presence of exercise pyrogens in the plasma.Department of Physiology, Moscow Regional Institute of Physical Culture, Malakhova, Moscow Province.
