Mitogenicity of autolysates of Trypanosoma congolense.

R K Assoku, I R Tizard.   

Abstract

Autolysates of Trypanosoma congolense, in subcytotoxic amounts, were found to be highly mitogenic in vitro for the spleen cells of normal mice. Significant amounts of [3H]-thymidine were also incorporated by the responding spleen cells of nu/nu (athymic) mice. In contrast, the spleen cells of cyclophosphamide-treated mice were unresponsive. The findings suggest that a potent B-cell-mitogen is generated by the autolysing T. congolense organism.
