[Effect of periodate oxidation of glycoconjugates of lymphocyte membranes on the immune response in vitro].
Mouse spleen cells treated with sodium periodate for 10 min. at 4 degrees C are stimulated to undergo blastogenesis and to incorporate thymidine. The effect of such treatment on the antibody response in vitro induced by Sheep red blood cells has been evaluated. Periodate-induced proliferation is accompanied by a marked inhibition of the immune response to this antigen. At concentrations leading to mitogenesis, no cytotoxic effect of periodate was observed and treated cells survived well on tissue culture. Cell recoveries from samples treated with periodate at the optimal mitogenic dose, were markedly enhanced when harvested at different days after culturing wheras lower antibody forming cells numbers wereconsistently observed during the culture period.
