[Screening of immunomodulators by using the system of mononuclear phagocytes].
Immunomodulating effects of various agents can be mediated by the system of mononuclear phagocytes (SMP). Immunomodulators are able to interfere with the initial events in activation of mononuclear phagocytes (MP) on their membranes which inevitably has its impact on molecular manifestations of the MP activation: the oxidative outburst events. At the initial (tentative) stage of the screening potential immunomodulators it is expedient to use tests providing estimation of the oxidative outburst intensity by the activity of glucoso-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the key enzyme of the hexose monophosphate shunt and by the level of superoxydanions production judged by reduction of nitroblue tetrasolium (NBTT). The use of transplantable macrophage-like lines J.744 and P 338D as the targets instead of murine peritoneal MP made it possible to increase reproducibility of the results in screening of immunomodulators. An experimental model of the mouse abdominal cavity clearance within the first hours after intraperitoneal administration of the test bacteria was used for estimating the effect of the potential immunomodulators on the barrier function of the SMP in the host. Experimentally modeled quantitative and functional defects in the SMP served as and adequate test system for study of immunostimulating agents.
