    Summary

    Acute hyperthermia initially boosts spleen cell responses to mitogens and alloantigens. However, prolonged exposure suppresses T-cell immunity, with recovery observed after 40 days.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • The immune system's response to thermal stress is complex.
    • Understanding how hyperthermia affects lymphocyte function is crucial for clinical applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of acute and prolonged hyperthermia on spleen cell proliferation.
    • To assess the effects of thermal shock and sustained elevated temperatures on immune responses.

    Main Methods:

    • Spleen cells from mice were analyzed for proliferative responses.
    • Stimulation was induced using mitogens like phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A), and alloantigens.
    • Mice were subjected to acute hyperthermia (42°C) and prolonged hyperthermia (43-44°C daily for 10, 20, or 30 days).

    Main Results:

    • Acute hyperthermia (42°C) enhanced lymphocyte proliferation in response to PHA, Con A, and alloantigens.
    • Thermal shock conditions led to a suppression of spleen cell response.
    • Prolonged daily hyperthermia (43-44°C) for 10-30 days resulted in suppressed T-cell immune responses.
    • Splenocyte proliferation returned to normal levels approximately 40 days after the cessation of hyperthermia induction.

    Conclusions:

    • Hyperthermia exhibits a biphasic effect on immune cell proliferation, initially enhancing and subsequently suppressing responses.
    • Sustained exposure to elevated temperatures can impair T-cell mediated immunity.
    • The immune system demonstrates a capacity for recovery following thermal stress.
