title: [Effect of lincomycin, chymotrypsin and their combinations on the splenic plasmacytic reaction and the antibody titer in experimental staphylococcal infection].
abstract: The effect of lincomycin, chymotrypsin and their combinations on the plasmocytic reaction of the spleen and agglutinin titer in mice with experimental staphylococcal infection was studied. The infected mice were divided into 4 groups: the 1st group included untreated infected animals, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th groups consisted of the mice treated with lincomycin, chymotrypsin and their combinations respectively. Lincomycin and chymotrypsin were used in doses of 150 and 2 mg/kg respectively. By the 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21st day of the infection and treatment the animals were decapitated, th blood was collected for determination of the staphylococcal agglutinin titers in the serum, the spleens were removed for investigation of the plasmocytic reaction. It was shown that the treatment of the experimental staphylococcal infection with lincomycin resulted in decreased proliferation of the plasmatic cells and antibody formation. The use of chymotrypsin resulted in increased proliferation of the plasmatic cells and specific antibody titer. The use of chymotrypsin in conjunction with lincomycin lowered the suppressing effect of the latter on the above indices.
