Modulatory effect of metal ions on the immune response of fish: in vivo and in vitro influence of MnCl2 on NK activity of carp pronephros cells.
The in vivo and in vitro influence of MnCl2 on carp pronephros cells was investigated. Increased cytotoxicity against both YAC-1 and P 815 target cells was observed following an intraperitoneal injection of 40, 80, or 120 micrograms MnCl2/g body wt administrated 24 hr prior to the in vitro 51Cr release assay. Similarly, in vitro treatment of carp pronephros cells, at a final concentration of 60 micrograms/culture, resulted in an increase of NK cell activity in both YAC-1 and P 815 target cell lines. However, a significant decrease in this activity was shown with lower doses of MnCl2 (40 and 20 micrograms/culture).
