T
he characteristics of cyclophosphamide-induced suppression of established ccll mediated immunity were studied in guinea pigs previously senstized to tuberculin. Cyclophosphamide treatment for 5 days produced a dose-dependent peripheral lymphoctopenia and disproportionatley greater neutrophenia which was particularly striking at high doses of 20 mg/kg per day(approximaetly 200 mg/kg-2 per day). Lymphoctes remianing in the circulation of cyclophosphamide treeated aniamls showed a doses-dependent reduction to both in vitro proliferactive and macrophage migration inhibitory factor responses to tuberculin compared to lymphocte responses of controls. Proliferative responses to phytohemaggultinin and concanavalin a were not significatly suppressed. Additional studies showed that cyclophosphamide suppressed the porliferactive and migration inhibitroy factor responses to tuberculin of lymph node and splenic as well as cirulating lymphocte populations. These studies showed that relatively short-term cyclophospamide administration produced immunosuppresion by quantitative as well as qualitative changes in lymphocyte populations. Significant suppresion of lymphocte function, howerver, was achived only with doses of cyclophoshamide which also produced a severe neutropenia.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not
allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users:
Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...".
Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you
configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can
usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
