    On call. For the past two or three years, ever since I turned 60, I've been getting up to urinate two or three times a night. I've been to my internist several times, and he always tells me my prostate is not at all enlarged. What could be wrong?

    On call. As a physician, I find Harvard Men's Health Watch very helpful for my patients and as a 63-year-old man, I find it interesting and helpful for myself. But I'm puzzled by your November 2001 article, which recommends two drinks a day as the safe maximum. I remember reading an editorial in The Lancet a few years ago that recommended up to 25 drinks a week, or three a day. Which dose of alcohol is correct?

    On call. I m a healthy 44-year-old man. I ve always been heavy, but eight months ago I started a diet and exercise program. I ve lost 26 pounds and I feel great. Now that I'm thinner, I thought it would be a good time to buy more life insurance, but a friend warned me that if I report the weight loss my premiums might go up. Why in the world should getting healthier cost me money?

    Immune cells called lymphocytes, when exposed to bovine gamma globulin (BGG), release substances that inhibit macrophage migration but do not improve their ability to kill bacteria. This suggests a specific role for these substances in immune responses.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Delayed hypersensitivity is a key immune response.
    • Lymphocytes play a crucial role in cell-mediated immunity.
    • Macrophage function is critical for host defense.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of antigen-stimulated lymphocytes on macrophage migration and bactericidal capacity.
    • To explore lymphocyte-macrophage interactions in the context of delayed hypersensitivity.

    Main Methods:

    • Obtaining lymphocytes from guinea pigs with delayed hypersensitivity to bovine gamma globulin (BGG).
    • Culturing lymphocytes with and without BGG.
    • Assaying cell-free supernatants for macrophage migration inhibition and bactericidal capacity against Listeria monocytogenes.

    Main Results:

    • Supernatants from antigenically stimulated lymphocytes demonstrated significant migration-inhibitory-factor activity.
    • No enhancement in macrophage bactericidal capacity against Listeria monocytogenes was observed.
    • Lymphocyte lysates showed no activity in either assay.

    Conclusions:

    • Antigen-stimulated lymphocytes produce factors that specifically inhibit macrophage migration.
    • These factors do not appear to enhance macrophage bactericidal functions.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms of lymphocyte-macrophage interactions in delayed hypersensitivity.
