title: [An experimental study of mitogen-stimulated blastogenic transformation and interleukin-2 in mice after burn injury].
abstract: In this study, mitogen-stimulated blastogenic transformation (MSBT) and interleukin 2 (IL-2) production by splenic lymphocytes in mice were measured at various time intervals after unanesthetized burn injury. The results showed that both MSBT and IL-2 production were suppressed after burn injury. There was a significant positive correlation between these two parameters. The postburn serum showed in vitro suppressive activity upon MSBT, IL-2 production and IL-2-IL-2R interaction of normal control. The results indicated that burn injury had a significant effect on lymphocytes.
