[The phenotypic characteristics of T-lymphocytes that interact with hematopoietic stem cells: the expression of the antigens Lyt-1, Lyt-2 and L3T4]. / Fenotipicheskaia kharakteristika T-limfotsitov, vzaimodeistvuiushchikh s krovetvornymi stvolovymi kletkami: ékspressiia antigenov Lyt-1, Lyt-2 i L3T4.

The role of T-lymphocytes, bearing antigens Lyt-1, Lyt-2 and L3T4, in regulation of the functional activity of blood-forming precursor cells of syngen and non-syngen origin was investigated. The treatment of cells of murine lymphatic nidi with monoclonal antibodies to the above antigens and with the complement did not abolish the capacity of T-lymphocytes of controlling proliferation and differentiation of syngen and allogen blood-forming precursor cells. The subpopulation characteristics of lymphocytes interacting with the stem cells is discussed.

[The effect of kemantane on T-helpers and T-suppressors]. / Vliianie kemantana na T-khelpery i T-supressory.

The study of Kemantan on functionally alternative humoral immunity regulator cells: T-helpers and antigen-specific T-suppressors, including their induction, accumulation and functioning, was studied. Kemantan in doses of 0.2-200 mg/kg, introduced to the donors of T-helpers 2 days before they were taken, stimulated their activity 1.5- to 2-fold (with p less than 0.05). Kemantan had no influence on the functional activity of T-suppressors, as well as on their induction and accumulation.

[The mitostatic and lymphotoxic action of kemantane and its effect on B-suppressors]. / Mitostaticheskoe i limfotoksicheskoe deistvie kemantana i ego vliianie na B-supressory.

The in vivo study of the influence of Kemantan on the growth of endogenous colonies in the spleen of sublethally (6 Gy) irradiated (CBA x C57BL/6J) F1 mice (mitostatic action) and on the capacity of transplanted lymphocytes of CBA mice for suppressing their multiplication (lymphotoxic action) was carried out. Besides the capacity of Kemantan for affecting the induction, formation and functioning of B-suppressors of antibody formation was studied. As revealed in this study, Kemantan in doses of 0.2-200 mg/kg did not produce a mitostatic and lymphotoxic effect and had no influence on the realization of the suppressing action of mature B-suppressors. In doses of 20 and 200 mr/kg Kemantan, injected to donors at the phase of the induction and accumulation of B-suppressors, abolished their formation.

[Differential radiation susceptibility of endogenous precursor cells forming "early" and "late" hematopoietic foci in the spleen of mice]. / Razlichnaia radioporazhaemost' éndogennykh kletok-predshestvennikov, formiruiushchikh v selezenke myshei "rannie " i "pozdnie" ochagi krovetvoreniia.

No colonies were found in the spleen at "early" times (7-8 days) after irradiation of mice with doses of 8-9 Gy, while at "later" times (after 15 days) a confluent growth of the colonies was observed. The endogenous splenic foci of haemopoiesis of the "late" type were characterized by the preferable growth of granulocytic colonies.
