Changes in the popliteal lymph node (PLN) in mice evoked by a local graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction and by a single injection of various agents into the hind footpad were compared. The drug diphenylhydantoin induced similar weight changes in time as the GVH reaction. More vigorous and protracted reactions were induced by the drug nitrofurantoin and the contact sensitizer dinitrochlorobenzene, whereas the antigens lipopolysaccharide and sheep erythrocytes caused very moderate and short-lasting weight changes. Alterations of lymph node architecture upon injection of diphenylhydantoin resembled those observed during the GVH response. Some quantitative and qualitative differences were noted for nitrofurantoin, but clearly deviant morphological alterations were seen in response to lipopolysaccharide and sheep erythrocytes. The PLN reaction to dinitrochlorobenzene had features of both the GVH reaction and the antigen-induced responses. These findings support the concept that some drugs and chemicals may induce or exacerbate lymphoproliferative disorders by GVH-like mechanisms. |
