Isolation and localization of RNA fractions able to transfer tumor-specific delayed hypersensitivity in vitro.

RNA fractions were prepared by sucrose density gradient centrifugation from hot-cold phenol, RNA-rich extracts of lymphoid tissues from strain 2 guinea pigs hyperimmunized to line 1 or line 10 tumors. Each RNA fraction was assessed for its ability to convert nonsensitized strain 2 peritoneal exudate cells to a state of specific sensitivity for line 1- or line 10-solubilized tumor antigens. An RNA fraction residing between the 4 S and 18 S peaks, designated as Fraction "B", transferred line 10 or line 1 sensitivity in 12 experiments. Twelve additional RNA extracts containing 2 subfractions prepared from RNA fraction B, designated as B1 and B2, also transferred line 1 or line 10 sensitivity in 14 experiments. Except for 3 experiments where the 4 S or 18 S material transferred tumor-specific sensitivity, RNA fractions corresponding to approximately 4 S, 18 S, 22 S, and 28 S were unable to transfer tumor-specific sensitivity to nonsensitized peritoneal exudate cells. Treatment of fraction B with RNase results in complete loss of ability to transfer immunobiological activity.

[Hodgkin's disease: study of delayed hypersensitivity of 64 non treated patients. Value of epicutaneous test using croton oil].

Cellular immunity in 64 patients with Hodgkin's disease was studied during diagnosis before any treatment. The functional deficiency of the thymodependent lymphocyte was demonstrated in vivo by skin tests and, in vitro, by the test of inhibition of leucocyte migration to phytohemagglutininin and spontaneous rosette formation, to sheep red cells. This deficiency correlates with the clinical spread and the histological severity. The relationship between skin anergy and biological tests was found. The epicutaneous test using croton oil possesses non-specific inflammatory activity. It is negative this test is negative, skin reactivity to specific antigens is reduced. The croton tests help interpretation of skin responses to specific antigens and thus assessment of the immune state.
