[Inhibition of prokaryote and eukaryote cells adhesion by sea proteobacteria Pseudoalteromonas nigrifaciens KMM 156 lipopolysaccharide and its fragments].

The impact of Pseudoalteromonas nigrifaciens KMM 156 lipopolysaccharide and its fragments on adhesion of prokaryote and eukaryote cells was studied. The lipopolysaccharide and O-specific polysaccharide identical by its structure to capsular polysaccharide lowered the number of the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis bacteria attached to sheep erythrocytes and adhesion of mouse neutrophils to plastic. The kora oligosaccharide had no effect on the processes.

[Immunotropic properties of exoglycan obtained from the marine micro-organism Vibrio alginolyticus].

Immune system modulating activity of exoglycane isolated from culture media of Vibrio alginolyticus (strain 945-80) was investigated. The substance demonstrated stimulating activity on the humoral and cell immune system, potentiated phagocyte activity of macrophage and neutrophils, increased survival index of the animals infected by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

[Immunotropic activity of panaxans--bioglycans isolated from ginseng].

Immunomodulating activity of panaxanes--polysaccharides isolated from the roots and culture of Panax ginseng was studied. Effects of both preparations were analogous. Profilaxy use of panaxanes provided increased resistance to coli-sepsis in mice, increased neutrophiles and macrophages phagocytosis, stimulated humoral and cell immune factors and induced important regulating cytokins--interferone gamma and tumor necrosis factor.

[Interferon-inducing action of polysaccharide-containing biopolymers from ginseng root and cell culture].

Induction of interferon (IF) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) under the action of two polysaccharide preparations of ginseng i.e. panaxan-1 (from ginseng root) and panaxan-2 (from ginseng cell culture) was studied. Both the preparations induced production of TNF and IF in human leukocytes. By its properties and the typing results the induced IF proved to be gamma-IF. The preparation from the ginseng cell culture in the doses used had a higher IF inducing activity which could be explained by the difference in the polysaccharide composition of the preparations.

[Therapeutic-prophylactic milk products with a new immunocorrector of natural origin].

Authors had received and investigated on experiment milk medical and prophylactic products (milk and kefir) with addition peptide, obtained from nervous tissue of squids. It has been established that addition of gangliin to the milk and kefir causes stimulation cellular and humoral factors of immunity answer at laboratory animals. Medical and prophylactic milk products with gangliin return to the normal state reduced immunity indexes of the mice with experimental immunodeficits.

[Immunostimulating activity of the lipopolysaccharides of blue-green algae].

The whole cells of blue-gree algae and lipopolysaccharides isolated from these cells were shown to stimulate the production of macro-(mainly) and microglobulin antibodies in rabbits. The macro- and microphage indices in rabbits increased significantly after the injection of LPS isolated from blue-green algae 24--48 hours before infecting the animals with a virulent Y. pseudotuberculosis strain. Besides, the inhibiting action of this strain on the migration of phagocytes to the site of infection was abolished immediately after the injection. The use of the indirect hemagglutination test allowed to prove the absence of close antigenic interrelations between blue-green algae and the following organisms: Spirulina platensis, Microcystis aeruginosa, Phormidium africanum and P. uncinatum.
