Sd. Shiyan et al., IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE ACTIVITY OF NORMAL, EMBRYONIC AND CANCER ALPHA-1-ACID GLYCOPROTEIN AND ITS MOLECULAR-FORMS DIFFERING IN GLYCOSYLATION, Eksperimental'naa onkologia, 15(2), 1993, pp. 46-50
Immunosuppressive properties of alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) isolate
d from normal (n-AGP) and abortive (a-AGP) human blood and also from a
scitic fluid of patients with stomach cancer (c-AGP) as well as their
molecular forms differing in glycosylation were studied in mixed lymph
ocyte culture (MLC). It was shown that n-AGP, a-AGP, c-AGP and their m
olecular forms n-AGP-1, n-AGP-2, c-AGP-1 and c-AGP-2 possessed the inh
ibitory activity but to different extent. At all the doses studied a-A
GP and n-AGP inhibited T-lymphocyte proliferation more strongly than n
-AGP.
