title: [Transfer factor of immune reactivity to diphtheria-tetanus anatoxin modulates the action of neurotransmitters in the intestinal smooth muscle].
abstract: Transfer factor (TF) of immune reactivity (10(-5) - 10(-3) mg/ml) to diphtheria-tetanus anatoxin modulates slow waves and spontaneous contractile activity of non-atropinized smooth muscle stripes (SMS) of guinea-pig taenia coli. TF (10(-4) mg/ml) transforms slow waves into stable depolarization and tonic contraction. After SMS atropinization, the substance acts in the same way. In the presence of methylene blue (10(-5) M), a guanylatecyclase blocker, FT induces transitory increase of SMS muscle tone, which is followed by their stable relaxation. ATP and UTP, purinoceptors agonists, evoke substantial hyperpolarization of smooth muscle cells membrane and their relaxation. FT enhances post-inhibitory excitation in SMS. In the presence of acetylcholine (10(-5) M) FT (10(-4) mg/ml) transforms the inhibitory ATP action on tonic contraction into excitative. This substance (10(-5), 10(-4) mg/ml) enhances Ca2+ mobilization from ryanodine-sensitive calcium store, inhibits the release of these cations from IP3-sensitive calcium store of sarcoplasmic reticulum. TF demolishes the inhibitory actions of sodium nitroprusside (nitric oxide donor), and noradrenaline in taenia coli smooth muscles.
