Abstract:
This experiment was made on 4-6 week-old nude mice(NM). The CNE-2 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into each side of the neckback for the original generation. Implanted fresh transplanted NPC tissue to NM's neck-back with cannula for next passage. We passed up to 8 generations and the transplantability was 100%. We observed dynamicrly the changes of NM's immune status after they have bearing the NPC as following: (1) The net weight was significantly reduced. (2) Splenic index(S. I.) and tumor weight(T. W.) increased. S. I. was highly related to T. W. (r=0.8395). (3) Splenic NK activity slightly increased in 5 days, began to decrease in 10 days and significantly decreased in 15 or more days. NK activity was negative related to T. W. and S. I. markedly (r=-0.7132, r=-0.8237). (4) Splenic NK cells had excellent responsiveness to human IFN in vitro in 5 days and still had some in 10 days, but it had not any after 15 days. (5) Natural proliferative ratio of tumor bearing NM's splenic cells was higher than that of control group, but the responsiveness to ConA was much lower. (6) Ai Ke Xing suppressed the growth of transplanted NPC by means of decreasing sera MDA enhancing host's splenic NK activity and increasing mononuclear infiltration of the transplanted NPC tissue. So we concluded that in NM whose T cells were deficient splenic NK cells were important immunocompetent cells for resisting the growth of transplanted NPC.
