The effect of antimalarial drug khingamin preinjection on skin allograft rejection and the level of antibody forming cells (AFC) in Jerne reaction has been investigated. The drug at the doses of 30, 40, 50 mg/kg inhibited skin allograft rejection. The dose of 20 mg/kg proved ineffective. A single preinjection at a dose of 20 mg/kg had a stimulating effect on antibody formation, whereas the dose of 40 mg/kg induced no effect. When the latter dose was injected simultaneously with sheep red blood cells, it caused a significant inhibition of AFC levels. Fourfold preliminary injection of khingamin at doses 40 and 20 mg/kg had a stimulating effect. The reverse effect of khingamin may be accounted for by the diverse action of the drug itself and its metabolites.
During the acute period of typhoid fever, as well as in the early and, partially, late convalescence periods, a considerable increase in the level of T-lymphocytes and their helper activity and, in some cases, in the number of B- and D-cells and the populations of neutrophils with receptors for C3 and Fc IgG was observed. In chronic carriers immune shifts of a different character have been recorded: an increase in suppressor activity and a decrease in the number of the above-mentioned neutrophils. These data prompt the use of immunological criteria for the prediction of chronic carrier state in typhoid fever.

Possible participation of immune system cells in the differentiation of non-lymphoid tissues has been examined. Lymphocytes were tested on transformed fibroblasts of L mouse strain. The presence of lymphocytes in L cell culture enhanced their differentiation, assessed by morphological, proliferative and biophysical criteria. The induction of L-cell differentiation took place during contact and short-distant interaction both with mouse and human lymphocytes. The phenomenon had a stable character, as it was revealed in L cells separated from lymphocytes during passaging. The results obtained indicate real and potential abilities of the immune system to affect differentiation of proliferating non-lymphoid tissues.

Fractions containing macrophage migration inhibition factor (MIF) and leucocyte migration inhibition factor (LIF) were obtained using Sephadex G-200 filtration from supernatant fluids of human lymphocyte cultures stimulated by PHA. The fractions were tested for the ability to affect migration and phagocytic activity of target cells. Peripheral blood leucocyte migration capacity was inhibited by the fraction with the molecular mass of 60,000-70,000 D (LIF), while migration activity of mouse peritoneal exudate cells was suppressed by the fraction with the molecular mass of 20,000-30,000 D (MIF). MIF- and LIF-containing fractions increased almost three-fold Fc-receptor-mediated phagocytic activity of neutrophils.
