title: In vitro effects of prostaglandin E1, prostaglandin E2, indomethacin, histamine, and tuftsin on chemiluminescence response of bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
abstract: The in vitro effects of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), indomethacin, histamine, and tuftsin on the chemiluminescence response of bovine polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) were determined. Addition of PGE1, PGE2, indomethacin, and histamine in vitro significantly suppressed the chemiluminescence response of bovine PMN's, whereas tuftsin had no effect. Suppression was dependent upon the continued presence of PGE1, PGE2, and histamine in the culture media. However, indomethacin's suppressive effect remained even after it was removed from the culture media. Hydrogen peroxide generated chemiluminescence was suppressed by high concentrations of indomethacin and histamine. Results of this study suggest possible pharmacologic or regulatory mechanisms for certain of these immune modulators in the control of the oxidative burst reaction of bovine PMN's.
