[Rat immunoreactivity in experimental modeling of acute autohemorrhagic bihemispheric stroke in the presence of staphylococcal infection].

Experimental studies were made of rat immunoreactivity in experimental modeling of acute hemorrhagic stroke in staphylococcal infection. Bactericidal activity and reserve bactericidal activity of neutrophils in NBT-test enhance while mid-molecular CIC level decreases because of phagocyte activation. ABA high titers in blood reflect activation of autoimmune processes.

[Immunosuppressive components of extracellular lipopolysaccharide highly virulent strain Salmonella typhimurium 1468].

Immunosuppressive activity of culture liquid substrate (CFS) of highly virulent strain Salmonella typhimurium has been studied. A model of delayed hypersensitivity (DHS) to nonbacterial antigen in mice, a method of gel-filtration through the sephadex column G-200, immunosorbents were used. Three components with immunosuppressive activity: thermolabile component and thermostable one with direct immunosuppressive action and the third thermolabile component which manifested inductive immunosuppressive activity only after redox treatment have been revealed in the strain CFS.

[Immunosuppressive effects of pathogenic gram-negative bacteria].

The review deals with the Immunosuppressive effects of virulent gram-negative bacteria (Salmonella, Shigela, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), with the importance of these effects for the bacteria to survive in the infected body. The above bacteria affect the immunity system in a different way, yet have common features. They are characterized by the occurrence of endotoxin shock, by the suppression of the phagocytic system and cell-mediated immunity.

[Dependence of immunosuppressive action of lipopolysaccharide on degree of Salmonella pathogenicity].

Immunosuppressive activity of Salmonella typhimurium extracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was studied. In this study isogenic S. typhimurium strains with different degree of virulence were used.

[The immunosuppressive action of different fractions of Salmonella typhimurium lipopolysaccharide].

The suppressing activity of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the filtrates of genetically related S. typhimurium 415 and 415/307 cultures with respect to delayed hypersensitivity to nonbacterial antigen in mice was studied. In LPS of the virulent strain two immunosuppressing fractions differing in their molecular weight were detected by the method of gel filtration.
