title: [In vitro stimulation of peripheral blood lymphocytes with allogeneic lymphocytes or phytomitogens in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (author's transl)].
abstract: The lymphocyte transformation response to the allogeneic lymphocytes (mixed lymphocyte culture, MLC) was determined in nineteen well-controlled insulin-dependent diabetics (IDD) and nineteen matched normal subjects. All possible combinations between lymphocytes from the patients and controls were mixed in both one-way and two-way MLC. From the results of one-way MLC, the stimulatory capacity (SC) and responding capacity (RC) of IDD lymphocytes were compared with those of normal lymphocytes as follows: (1) Nm leads to N: 10,538 +/- 3,937 N; normal lymphocytes (2) Nm leads to D: 8;466 +/- 5,387 D; IDD lymphocytes (3) Dm leads to N: 7,562 +/- 3,088 m; mitomycin-treated stimulating lymphocytes (4) Dm leads to D: 7,102 +/- 4,873 (leads to; stimulatory direction, results; M +/- SD cpm) IDD lymphocytes showed a marked depressive function as stimulators (SC, (1) -- (3)), but the RC of IDD lymphocytes was unchanged ((1) -- (2)). Phytomitogen-response was studied simultaneously for the same responding lymphocytes (N, D) of MLC. IDD lymphocytes exhibited significantly decreased responses to phytohemagglutinin P, pokeweed mitogen and concanavalin A.
