title: [Changes in the membrane lipids and lymphocyte function in staphylococcal infection and the development of delayed hypersensitivity].
abstract: Experimental staphylococcal infection was reproduced in rats by the intraperitoneal injection of S. aureus strain 75. The degree of the development of delayed hypersensitivity (DH) to staphylococci, microviscosity, the levels of free radical oxidation and antioxidation resistance were evaluated in the dynamics of the infectious process by the methods of chemiluminometry and fluorescent probing with pyrene. The functional activity of lymphocytes was determined by the inclusion of 3H-thymidine into DNA as the consequence of stimulation with phytohemagglutinin. The development of DH was found to depend on the microviscosity and antioxidation resistance of membrane lipids. The increase of microviscosity and the simultaneous decrease of the induction time of chemifluorescent rapid flash inhibit the development of DH, leading to the aggravation of the infectious process. The increase of fluidity and the accumulation of antioxidants facilitate the development of DH and lead to a milder course of the infectious process.
