New approaches for immunosuppression

B Eiseman, J Hansbrough, R Weil

    The American Surgeon
    |January 1, 1980

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    New immunosuppression methods are explored, including cyclosporin A, total lymphoid irradiation, thoracic duct drainage, and hyperbaric oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was found to suppress cell-mediated immunity in mice, but this effect was reversible with autologous macrophages.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Experimental Medicine
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Immunosuppression is crucial for transplantation and managing autoimmune diseases.
    • Traditional methods have limitations, necessitating exploration of novel approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review emerging experimental immunosuppression techniques.
    • To investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on cell-mediated immunity.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature on cyclosporin A, total lymphoid irradiation, and thoracic duct drainage.
    • Experimental study involving hyperbaric oxygen (HBOX) exposure in mice.
    • Assessment of cell-mediated immunity and reversal with autologous macrophages.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Cyclosporin A selectively suppresses lymphocytes.
    • Total lymphoid irradiation induced transplantation tolerance in rats.
    • Thoracic duct drainage shows promise for autoimmune diseases.
    • Hyperbaric oxygen (2.5 ATA for 5 hours daily) depressed cell-mediated immunity in mice.
    • Intravenous administration of autologous macrophages reversed HBOX-induced immunosuppression.

    Conclusions:

    • Novel immunosuppressive strategies offer potential therapeutic benefits.
    • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy impacts cell-mediated immunity, with potential for modulation.
    • Autologous macrophage therapy may counteract hyperbaric oxygen-induced immunosuppression.
