Abstract
There were performed the studies of genotoxic stress and the
ways of immunocompetent cells death (apoptosis and necrosis
) in the modeling of immune system damage by immunization
of CBA mice with the bovine serum albumin. Immunofluorescence
studies of immunized mice were established the fixation
of immune complexes in liver tissue, spleen, kidney and the
aorta. Histological studies of these organs showed vascular
system affection and, to a lesser extent, parenchyma. It has
been shown that DNA comets index increases in 1,4 time in
the lymph node cells and in 1,5 time in the thymus cells in
the presence of BSA immunization. We also observed an
increase in the number of cells with maximum damage DNA
thymus preparations ( 3.4 fold ) and lymph nodes ( 3.3-fold),
respectively , indicating strong genotoxic stress. There were
shown the reduce of live ICC number and their death increase,
including the pro-inflammatory and immunogenic necrotic
way. In that way, data which were obtained on the experimental
model is evidenced that generalized immunecomplex
pathologic process leads to DNA damage and ICC death both
central and peripheral organs of the immune system. ICC genotoxic
stress and their death amplification by the necrotic way
may play a significant role in the immunecomplex deseases
development. These factors of peripheral blood lymphocytes
can serve as a prospective test system for assessing the severity
of autoimmune and immune complex diseases and their treatment
effectiveness.
