Popis: The effect of mouse serum obtained on the 6th day after injection of isologous aggregated immunoglobulin (MAAS) on proliferative activity of spleen cells was studied in vitro. MAAS was shown to have a weak stimulating action on the cells in dilutions of 1∶40–1∶60, with maximal activity after 48 h; MAAS in these dilutions also potentiates the response of the cells to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (Con A). The potentiating effect of MAAS on Con A was stronger, indicating that it acts on cells carrying an Fc-receptor for immunoglobulin on its surface, on which the MAAS factor porbably acts. The nature of the MAAS factor and its possible identity with the factor secreted during treatment of cells with aggregated immunoglobulin in vitro is discussed. The results agree with the hypothesis put forward previously that the effect of MAAS factor on antitumor transplantation immunity may be linked with its mitogenic action.
