[A reactivity to polyclonal stimulation of immunogenesis with salmozan after its repeated administration].
The injection of 100 micrograms of salmozan (polysaccharide isolated from Salmonella typhi somatic O-antigen) or 50 micrograms of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide into mice induced a considerable increase in the number of antibody-forming cells in the spleen in response to the injection of sheep red blood cells (SRBC) 2-3 days later. This polyclonal effect was essentially weaker if the animals previously received 500 micrograms of salmozan (9-10 days prior to the injection of SRBC). The absence of reactivity was not linked with antibodies to salmozan or with some other serum factor. The lymphocytes of nonreactive mice proved to be capable of polyclonal response in the adoptive system, and at the same time the polyclonal response of intact lymphocytes to salmozan in the body of nonreactive irradiated mice was essentially weakened. The features making the above phenomenon similar to, as well as different from, the so-called "endotoxin tolerance" are analyzed.
