[Monokine-producing activity of human monocyte-like cell line U937 induced by Yersinia pestis EV antigens].
The data on a study of the monokine-producing ability of human monocyte-like cell line U937 are presented. Antigens of Yersinia pestis EV (lipopolysaccharide and fraction 1A) induce monokine production by cell line U937. The obtained monokines essentially enhance neutrophil killer and chemotactic activities, stimulate FcR expression, increase the number of lysosomes, and the lability of lysosomal membranes in neutrophils. F1A significantly suppresses LPS in respect to the ability to induce monokine production, which stimulate neutrophil functional activity.
