Spleen lymphocytes from normal subjects who suddenly died were used as cells producing gamma-interferon. One spleen yielded (3-8) X 10(8) viable cells which made it possible to prepare from 3 to 81 of splenocyte suspension culture. Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) and B (SEB) were used as gamma-interferon inducers. Stimulation of splenocyte suspension culture with SEA and SEB resulted in production of gamma-interferon with an average activity of 640-2560 units/ml. A partially purified interferon preparation with an activity of 2 X 10(4) units/ml was obtained by sorption of gamma-interferon on porous glass CPG-200-240 followed by elution with a buffer containing 50% ethylene glycol and Sephadex G-25 gel chromatography. As a result of 11 successive intramuscular immunizations of rabbits at 2-week intervals with a partially purified and concentrated preparation of gamma-interferon with Freund's complete adjuvant, blood serum was obtained which was capable of neutralizing 32 units of gamma-interferon up to a dilution of 1:128. The serum was highly specific: it showed no specific interaction with antigenic determinants of either natural alpha- and beta- or plasmid alpha-F and alpha-F/D human interferons.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how Anti-ganglioside GM1 antibodies (Anti-GM1) affect the natural killer (NK) cells' ability to kill cancer cells in nude mice by altering their differentiation.
- Researchers used a detailed staining method to identify NK cell characteristics in kidney cancer tissues and immunized mice with GM1 to produce Anti-GM1.
- The results showed that Anti-GM1 significantly reduced NK cell activity, promoted their maturation, and decreased key signaling molecules (IFN-γ and GzmB) involved in their killing function compared to a control group.

Objective: Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a significant complication following allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, often necessitating therapeutic interventions such as rituximab (RTX) and cyclosporin A (CsA). This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which RTX and CsA jointly address B-cell dysregulation in cGVHD, providing a theoretical foundation and scientific rationale for the treatment and prognostic evaluation of this condition.
Methods: A total of 30 cGVHD mouse models were established by subjecting recipient mice to total body irradiation followed by injection of a mixed suspension of bone marrow cells and splenocytes from donor mice.

Structural DNA nanotechnology enables custom fabrication of nanoscale devices and promises diverse biological applications. However, the effects of design on DNA nanostructure (DN)-cell interactions in vitro and in vivo are not yet well-characterized. origamiFISH is a recently developed technique for imaging DNs in cells and tissues.

Objective To investigate the effects of collagen peptides on the immune function of mice under the condition of X-ray irradiation combined with simulated weightlessness. Methods Mice were randomly divided into control group, modelling group and collagen peptide group. Mice in collagen peptide group were intraperitoneally injected with collagen peptide (600 mg/kg) once a day from the first day of the experiment, while mice in the other two groups were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline.

The ElISA result of the cytokines of splenocyte suspension cells showed that IL2, IL10, TNF-α, and IFN- ˠ titers were significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) in mice that were immunized only with NDV-VLPs three times with a 10-day interval, in comparison to those that were immunized with NDV-VLPs twice in a 10-day interval and received a B1 live vaccine boost on the third interval.
