Leprosy T Cell Line

Leprosy is an ancient disease caused by gram positive, rod shaped bacilli called Mycobacterium leprae. Patients present with varied clinico-pathological disease depending on the host immune response to Mycobacterium leprae. Lepromatous (LL) patients represent with low T cell and high humoral immune response. The Th2 paradigm is thought to underlye lepromatous disease. Primary T-cells isolated […]

Product description: Leprosy is an ancient disease caused by gram positive, rod shaped bacilli called Mycobacterium leprae. Patients present with varied clinico-pathological disease depending on the host immune response to Mycobacterium leprae. Lepromatous (LL) patients represent with low T cell and high humoral immune response. The Th2 paradigm is thought to underlye lepromatous disease. Primary T-cells isolated from skin biopsis can be used as a research tool.
Production details: T cell lines were generated from fresh skin biopsies. Biopsies were incubated in a 24 well plate coated with 10Â?„?žg/well fibronectin to facilitate spontaneous migration of T cells from the biopsy into the Iscove's Modified Dulbecco Medium (IMDM) supplemented with 10% normal human serum, 1mM glutamine, 100U/ml penicillin and 100Â?„?žg/ml streptomycin. After 5 days extravasated skin T cells were transferred to an uncoated 24 well plate and expanded by mitogenic stimulation with 0.05% PH…
