[Cellular kinetics of the primary immune response after application of phytohemagglutinin].

The Jerne technique, a proved method for detecting the number of plaque-forming cells (PFC) in spleen, shows an immunosuppressive effect of phytohemagglutine (PHA) on primary immune response. Kinetic studies are done on 300 NMRI mice, considering the number of PFC/10-8 spleen cells. Significant suppressions of the primary immune response are found if PHA is applied either one day before or together with antigen provided that studies are done 3, 4 or 5 days after immunization with sheep red blood cells (SRBC). The role of activated T-lymphocytes concerning the diminution of immune response is discussed.

Anti-ovalbumin sensitizing ability of influenza vaccines in guinea pigs.

The anti-ovalbumin sensitizing ability of four highly purified commercial influenza vaccines was tested in guinea pigs by means of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis. Aluminimum-adsorbed and fluid vaccines as well as pretreatments by one or two subcutaneous inoculations were compared. The two adsorbed vaccines induced significant sensitization after just one inoculation while the two fluid vaccines revealed their sensitizing ability almost exclusively after repeated administration.
