[Effect of thymic immunomodulators on the system of cyclic nucleotides of splenic T-lymphocytes after BCG vaccination].

The experiments on guinea pigs was performed to study the effects of thymogen , thymalin and vilosene on the activity of cAMP, cGMP, adenylate cyclase, guanylate cyclase, cAMP- and cGMP-phosphodiesterases in T lymphocytes during BCG vaccination. It was shown that the disease was accompanied by increased activity of enzymes of anabolism and catabolism of cyclic nucleotides. Thymogen and thymalin mainly activated the synthesis of cGMP, thus causing the shift of cAMP/cGMP value below the reference level. At the same time vilosene increased this value in the process of a repeated BCG injection.

[Effect of thymagen, thymalin and vilosen on the cAMP and cGMP levels and phosphodiesterase activity in spleen lymphocytes during sensitization and anaphylactic shock].

It is established that the effect of thymus-derived species is connected with the cyclic nucleotide system. The action of thymus-derived immunocorrectors (thymalin, thymagen, vilosen) on catabolic processes of cyclic nucleotides has been observed under conditions of anaphylaxy and sensibilization. They show that sensibilization of the animal is bound up with a decrease of the cAMP/cGMP ratio. Anaphylaxis induces levelling of the cAMP/cGMP ratio up to the reference level. So, activity of enzymes of cyclic nucleotide catabolism grows due to the influence of thymogen, thymalin and vilosen in lymphocytes of sensibilized guinea pigs and tends to an increase in lymphocytes of anaphylaxis-treated animals.

[Decrease in adenylate cyclase activity in spleen T- and B-lymphocytes and thymus T-lymphocytes in CBA mice treated with levamisole].

The influence of various concentrations of levamisole on the activity of the membrane adenylate cyclase complex of lymphocytes is analyzed. It is ascertained that levamisole decreases the activity of adenylate cyclase at a concentration of 10(-9)-10(-7) M in thymic lymphocytes, and that the activity of the enzyme in spleen T- and B-lymphocytes remains constant. The influence of levamisole on the activity of adenylate cyclase thymocytes is studied under conditions of its stimulation by NaF, GTF and adrenaline. It is ascertained that levamisole at a concentration of 10(-9)-10(-7) M decreases the activity of the enzyme stimulated by NaF, GTF and adrenaline.
