[Effect of antihepatocytotoxic serum on processes of cellular and intracellular regeneration of pathologically altered liver].

The parameters of the liver regeneration: mitotic index, DNA synthesis, nucleolar size of hepatocytes and histological structure, were studied in adult female rats with CCl4-affected liver during administration of the gamma-globulin fraction of antihepatocytotoxic serum (gamma-AHCS). It was shown that in various periods after exposure to CCl4 either the cellular processes of regeneration are predominant or the intracellular ones. gamma-AHCS (0.06 microgram protein per 100g body weight/one injection) intensifies and makes longer both the processes.

[DNA synthesis in rat liver following administration of antihepatocytotoxic serum].

Experiments were conducted on adult female rats. The autoradiographic method was applied to the study of thymidine-3H incorporation into the parenchymatous and reticulo-endothelial cells of the liver under conditions of using low doses (0.06 microgram of protein per 100 of body weight) of antihepatocytotoxic serum (AHCS), gamma-globulin isolated from it (gammaAHCS) and gamma-globulin fraction of normal rabbit serum (gammaNRS) to intact animals and rats with carbon tetrachloride affection of the liver. The labelled nuclei index of both the parenchyma and the reticuloendothelial cells increased in case of gammaAHCS administration, and, to a lesser extent, of AHCS to intact animals. gammaAHCS used against the background of CCl4 administration intensified the reparative regeneration. The action of gammaAHCS has phasic character--the period of the labeled nuclei elevation was followed by their reduction, replaced by new intensification of the proliferative processes.

[Analysis of hepatocyte cell membrane antigens in regenerating rat liver].

Antigens of plasma membranes in hepatocytes from regenerating rat liver were studied. Immunochemical investigation with polyvalent rabbits antiserum against plasma membrane proteins in hepatocytes from regenerating and normal rat liver have shown that liver regeneration processes are accompanied by the increase of proteins number with molecular weight of--80 kDa, 62 kDa, 40 kDa and 27 kDa. It is not excluded that protein with molecular weight of 27 kDa is the tissue-specific peripheral protein. The influence of antibodies against proteins of hepatocytes plasmatic membranes on histostructure of pathologically changed liver tissue has been studied. The data obtained testify to a possibility of participation of the above mentioned proteins in the regulation of rat liver regeneration processes.

[Possibility of directed changes in the surface activity of rat pulmonary surfactants by means of exposure to antibodies specific to them].

The experiments were performed on Wistar rats with weight of 150-200 g. Antibodies were prepared by immunization of rabbits with pure surfactants of rat lungs and were intravenously injected into rats three times within 3 days intervals. These antibodies were shown to influence the superficial activity of lung surfactants and the alveolar lung cells activity. The low doses of antibodies (0.06 micrograms of protein per 100 g of body mass) stimulated the superficial activity of lung surfactants, while higher doses (3 mg of protein per 100 g of body mass) inhibited it.

[Changes in the activities of antigen-nonspecific helper and suppressor cells in rabbits after carbon tetrachloride-induced liver damage].

The peripheral blood helper and suppressor T cell activity in rabbits was studied by the method of concanavalin A-induced mitogenesis. Blood lymphocytes were stimulated in vitro with different concentrations of concanavalin A (8 micrograms/ml and 60 micrograms/ml, respectively). The effect of stimulated lymphocytes on proliferative response of allogenic lymphocytes to phytohaemagglutinin was investigated. The liver injury was induced by three-fold subcutaneous injections of carbon tetrachloride (1 ml of 50% oil solution per 1 kg of body mass) each third day. Histological analysis of the liver and T cell activity examinations was performed 2, 9, 16, 30 days after carbon tetrachloride administration. It was shown that the stages of the more pronounced liver injury and the less pronounced regeneration of the liver were accompanied by the increase of helper T cell activity. The stages of the intensive liver regeneration and the less pronounced liver injury were accompanied by the increase of suppressor T cell activity.

[Changes in the histostructure of functional activity of the immunocompetent organs in damaged portal blood supply of the liver].

In CBA mice calibrated stenosis of the portal vein was produced. Liver and immunocompetent organs were morphologically analyzed. The total number of hemopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow was estimated by the colony-forming cells and in the spleen after immunization with sheep red cells by the plaque forming method. It is established that stenosis of the portal vein (on the average by 45% and 58%) produced the histostructural changes in the liver and in the immunocompetent organs. Expression of morphological changes depended on the time elapsed after operation and the degree of the portal vein stenosis. These changes were the most pronounced on the 16-17th day when stenosis of the portal vein was 58%. The character of the changes in the number of the hemopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow and in that of antibody-forming cells in the spleen depended on the degree of the liver damage. These changes increased with the degree of the liver histostructure damage. The maximal liver damage was accompanied by a decrease of these indices.

[Antigen-specific helper and suppressor activities of T-lymphocytes of the rabbit blood during the development of immunologic response to heterologous erythrocytes].

A titre of hemolysins in blood serum, helper and suppressor activity of blood T-lymphocytes in response of ++blast transformation to Con A in different doses (8 and 60 ml) and was determined in rabbits after single and two-fold (with an interval of 30 days) immunization of the ram erythrocytes. Examinations were conducted 2, 9, 16 and 30 days after antigen introduction. Peculiarities of changes in antigen-specific helper and suppressor activity of lymphocytes and their balance in dynamics of primary and secondary immune responses are determined.

[Characteristics of the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells of the bone marrow in experimental lesions of the liver].

The liver lesion in the CBA mice has been induced by administration of one of three agents five times every day; gamma-globulin fraction of antihepatocytotoxic serum in doses of 4.8 and 7.7 mg of protein per 100 g of body mass; gamma-globulin fraction of normal rabbit serum and bovine serum albumin in a dose of 4.8 mg of protein; three- four- or five-fold introduction of carbon tetrachloride in a dose of 0.5 ml per 100 g of body mass with oil (1:1) each three days; calibrated stenosis of the portal vein was produced. The total number of hemopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow was estimated by the colony-forming unit/spleen assay. Histological analysis of the colony-forming units was applied. The liver lesion was accompanied by a decrease in the ratio of the erythroid/granulocytic colonies.
