| Popis: | Some derivatives of hematoporphyrins are strongly retained by tumor tissue as compared to normal tissue, and exposure of these photosensitizers to radiation in the visible spectrum can cause serious biological damage. These properties have been exploited in the development of a new treatment for cancer termed photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, recent studies have also demonstrated that PDT can also induce a state of systemic immunosuppression. The purpose of this study was to determine whether PDT-induced suppression of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) responses was an active phenomenon that could be adoptively transferred by viable splenocytes from PDT-treated mice. Although induction of adoptively transferable suppressor cells in PDT-treated mice required exposure to antigen, the suppressor cells were found to be antigen nonspecific in their function. Furthermore, splenocytes from PDT-treated mice were capable of generating levels of allospecific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity which were comparable to those generated by normal control mice, but the ability of irradiated spleen cells from PDT-treated mice to stimulate a mixed lymphocyte response (MLR) was dramatically impaired. Finally, chromatographic separation of T cells, B cells and macrophages showed that the cell type which mediates adoptively transferable suppression of CHS responsiveness is in the macrophage lineage. |
