Were studied the genes encoding the virulence factors of 221 strains: E. coli O:H (194) and E. coli O:H (27), isolated in 2014-2018 from stool samples of children and adults examined according to epidemic indications.

The effect of vegetan on the cytolytic activity of T-lymphocytes from normal MLC is less marked. In the in vivo model of primary synthesis of antibodies against heterologous erythrocyte antigens, vegetant causes 20-50-fold enhancement of a weak immune response compared to 1.

To estimate myelopeptide effect on T-cell immunity a model system-mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) with routine (1:1) and insufficient (20:1) ratio of reacting and stimulating cells was used. The latter culture was termed weakly immunogenic MLC. Myelopeptides administered into the weakly immunogenic MLC at the beginning of incubation ("0" period) at a concentration of 30 to 90 mkg/ml were shown to increase T-lymphocyte cytolytic activity by 35-50% without affecting cell proliferation.

Ethylrhodamine at concentrations up to 16 microM does not influence the systems of oxidation and energy coupling in lymphocyte mitochondria. Carbocyanines-diS-C3-(5) and diO-C3-(5) inhibit oxygen uptake by the lymphocytes in the presence of glucose and pyruvate at the same low concentrations as does rotenone (40% inhibition occurs at 10 nM).
