pubmed-article:219921 | pubmed:abstractText | Different components of B. pertussis were found to have a similar inhibitory effect on thymidine-3H incorporation caused by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in the culture of lymphocytes taken from donors immunized with tetanus toxoid. However, the same fractions of B. pertussis produced differential effects on the reaction of lymphocyte proliferation in response to tetanus toxoid: murein-"ontaining membranes enhanced thymidine-3H incorporation, RNA-containing fractions reduced it and water-soluble components of disintegrated B. pertussis produced no effect on lymphocyte proliferation. | lld:pubmed |
