title: [The effect of the antigenic fractions of the outer membrane of Francisella tularensis on the T-cell immunity indices].
abstract: The immunological evaluation of the influence of individual gel-chromatographic antigenic fractions (GAF) of F. tularensis outer membrane on different forms of T-cell reactiveness, such as delayed hypersensitivity (DH), proliferation of lymphocytes in the reaction of blast transformation (RBT) and mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC), has been made. As revealed in this study, GAF isolated from F. tularensis produce a pronounced immunomodulating effect on the processes linked with polyclonal activation of T-lymphocytes. Thus, GAF II with a molecular weight of 85-200 kD inhibits the maturation and activity of T-effectors of DH, the proliferation of lymphocytes in RBT and MLC. On the contrary, GAF IV with a molecular weight of 15-35 kD produces a stimulating effect on T-cells in the immune system in all the parameters under study.
