HgCl(2)-induced human lymphocyte activation in vitro: a superantigenic mechanism?

abstract：AIM:We evaluated the effect of the 45-kD protein of Trichinella spiralis (gp45), purified by affinity chromatography, on random migration and chemotaxis, the oxidative metabolism of human neutrophils and on the CD11b upregulation induced by formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (f-MLP). METHODS:Donor neutrophils incub...
