Abstract
The data on the use of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers INS1 and INS2 for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis are presented. All stages of PCR are described: from the treatment of biological material to the conditions necessary for carrying PCR and the registration of the results. Simultaneously with this reaction, PCR in a Cobas Amplicor apparatus was carried out and Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture was grown in a liquid medium in an MB/BacT apparatus. The study revealed that the method of PCR in pure M. tuberculosis culture made it possible to detect even the DNA of those cells which formed no colonies on Löwenstein--Jensen medium. The detection of M. tuberculosis in clinical samples (sputum, pleural exudate) taken from 31 patients with different pulmonary pathology showed that in 87.1% of cases diagnostics with the use of PCR carried out in a Cobas Amplicor apparatus and with primers INS1 and INS2 yielded similar results. In patients with pulmonary tuberculosis the results of PCR were positive, while the results of the analysis made with use of an MB/BacT apparatus were negative. The proposed primers INS1 and INS2, the conditions of amplification and detection make up the test system for the detection of mycobacteria of the tuberculosis complex.

Abstract
It is firmly established that the allelic composition of the H-2 complex has a prominent impact on the course of tuberculosis (TB) infection in mice, including granuloma formation, mycobacterial spread in the lungs, and the dynamics of mortality. Although intuitively obvious, the role of long-term specific T cell responses in the expression of corresponding phenotypes is poorly understood. In this study we have compared polyclonal lymph node cell response (cell yield, proliferation, surface markers, IL-4/interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production) to Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv sonicate in repeated 10-day cycles of stimulation/rest between H-2 congenic IE-negative mouse strains, categorized on the basis of mortality following lethal challenge as TB-susceptible (C57B1/6), TB-resistant (4R) and BCG non-protected (B10.M). The capacity to retain specific responsiveness to repeated stimulation by mycobacterial antigens depended upon both the H-2 haplotype of the host and the immunizing dose of the antigen. 4R lymph node cells following either 50 microg/mouse or 100 microg/mouse immunization constantly responded to sonicate, increased in numbers, and after the third stimulation/rest cycle developed into a stable CD3+CD4+ cell line. B6 cells following either 50 microg/mouse or 100 microg/mouse immunization, and B10.M cells following 100 microg/mouse (but not 50 microg/mouse) immunization, lost the capacity to incorporate methyl-3H-thymidine during the second cycle, and died. Analogous results were obtained in the in vivo experiments, when the dynamics of the response over 12 weeks following a single immunization with the antigen was studied. In response to the antigen, cells from all three mouse strains produced significant amounts of IL-2 and IFN-gamma, but not IL-4, indicating that they belong predominantly to the Th1-like subset. Among noteworthy differences between the mouse strains was a clear deficiency of CD8+ T cells in B6 cultures, and an unusually high proportion of CD3+CD4-CD8- (double-negative) T cells in B10.M cultures following a high-dose immunization.

Abstract
We have studied the role of three mouse distinct non-H-2 genes (Bcg, Tbc-1, xid) in several phenomena of antituberculosis immunity and resistance. On the basis of median survival time (MST) of mice following infection with virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, Bcg gene did not control resistance to the lethal dose of H37Rv infection in non-vaccinated and Myco. bovis (BCG)-vaccinated mice. However, Bcgr allele, in comparison with Bcgs allele, determined more effective suppression of an early multiplication in spleens of H37Rv mycobacteria after a low dose (5x10(4) colony-forming units (CFU)) injection. CBA/N mice, which are not protected efficiently against tuberculous challenge by BCG vaccination, were characterized by a decreased in vitro proliferation of immune lymph node cells, both spontaneous and stimulated with mycobacterial antigens. The decreased proliferation was due to immunosuppression caused by interactions between responding T cells and CBA/N antigen-presenting cells (APC). We have confirmed that the defective response to BCG-vaccination in CBA/N mice is linked with the X-chromosome and thus is presumably determined by the xid gene itself. I/St mice (Tbc-1s), supersusceptible to H37Rv infection, were not able to restrict the growth of H37Rv mycobacteria in spleens, even following infection with a low dose (5x10(4)), but restricted the growth of Myco.bovis BCG more effectively than Bcgs mice.

Abstract
We have studied the impact of distinct haplotypes and of different alleles at specific H-2 loci on: (i) the susceptibility to lethal form of experimental tuberculosis; (ii) the level of DTH to mycobacterial antigens; (iii) the efficacy of vaccination with bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG); and (iv) the IgG production and T cell proliferative response to H37Rv antigens. On the basis of median survival time (MST) following primary inoculation with lethal dose of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, susceptibility to infection associated with I-Ab and Db alleles, host resistance associated with I-Ak and Dd alleles. Mice bearing a disease-resistant phenotype also developed a vigorous DTH response. Vaccination with BCG before H37Rv infection significantly prolonged the survival time of both resistant and susceptible animals, except in B10.M (H-2f) mice. The latter exhibited intermediate resistance to infection before but slight decrease in the MST following a high-dose BCG vaccination. Distinct H-2 regulation of susceptibility to lethal infection and of BCG vaccination efficacy was confirmed in another relatively resistant H-2f-bearing strain A.CA, in which mortality occurred more rapidly in vaccinated compared with primarily infected animals. The expression of the H-2f haplotype was associated with a low DTH response to tuberculin following vaccination and subsequent lethal infection. The lack of BCG protection against Myco, tuberculosis challenge in B10.M mice associated with the high titre of specific IgG. In addition, these mice exhibited a unique ability to respond to 65-kD antigen by both IgG synthesis and T cell proliferation.

Abstract
We have studied proliferative responses to mycobacterial antigen preparation (PPD) and to non-specific stimuli of interstitial cells from the lungs of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected CBA mice. PPD-reactive lymphocytes appeared in the lung wall tissue in the course of chronic infection, but their proliferative capacity was totally inhibited by the lung macrophages. The latter were also able to suppress the proliferation of immune lymph node T cells. The mechanism of suppression clearly had two components, one being infection-specific and the other non-specific. Non-specific suppression was mediated mainly by prostaglandin E(PGE), whereas the specific mechanism showed only a weak influence of PGE and depended on the presence of I-J+ Lyt-2- nylon-wool-adherent cells in the responder population. Interstitial lung T or B lymphocytes were not involved in specific suppression.

Abstract
Vaccination with M. bovis (BCG) essentially prolonged survival time (ST) of several strain mice, with the exception, of CBA/N, infected with M. tuberculosis H37Rv. ST of CBA/N, differing from CBA by xid mutation, was not prolonged by vaccination. Mouse strains with alternative alleles of BCG gene (s and r) and fzy gene as a genetic marker for Bcg5 were used for segregation analysis. It was shown that ST, the level of DTH reaction of mice infected with M. tuberculosis H37Rv, and protective effect of BCG vaccination did not depend on Bcg gene. However, Bcg gene, apparently, regulate the DTH response to PPD in mice only vaccinated with M. bovis (BCG).

Abstract
The ability of interstitial lung cells from mice, infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, to suppress proliferative responses of immune lymphocytes to mycobacterial (PPD) and unrelated (Staphylococcus aureus cytoplasm) antigens was studied. Two types of suppression were observed: the specific one, which was characteristic of the PPD-response only; and non-specific. The latter was mediated mainly by prostaglandins, since it could be abolished by indomethacin. Both types of suppression depended on the presence of plastic and nylon wool adherent phagocytes from infected lung. Though the depletion of T or B lymphocytes from the lung cell population have not abrogated the suppressive effect, some intercellular interactions were required for antigen-specific suppression, since the presence of nylon wool adherent cells in the population of responder lymph node cells was necessary for its development.

Abstract
In vitro proliferative response of lung cells from mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv against PPD and Con A was studied. It was shown that the infected lung contained immune T cells, but their response in vitro was totally inhibited by plastic and nylon wool adherent suppressor cells. The whole population of lung cells from infected, but not intact mice, efficiently suppressed the proliferative response of immune lymph node cells against various antigens (non-specific suppression). The inhibition of response again depended on the presence of plastic adherent lung cells. Our data suggest that at least two suppressor pathways are induced in the course of tuberculosis infection: one being specific for mycobacterial antigens and other non-specific. Both types of suppressor pathways depend on the plastic adherent lung cells from tuberculosis lesion.

Abstract
Preparations of anti-I--J alloantisera with higher activity were obtained by a new method, based on induction of expression of the I--J determinant in donor suppressor cells, immunization of mice with such cells, and subsequent elimination of contaminating anti-idiotypic antibodies from antisera by their adsorption on the cells of the recipient murine strain sharing induced idiotype with the donor cells. After adsorption anti-I--J activity remained unchanged. The antisera thus obtained were found active in the standard cytotoxic assay (working dilution greater than or equal to 1:20). The injection of anti-I--Jk antiserum to CBA mice prolonged the survival time of the animals and increased the parameters of the cell-mediated immunity after infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis virulent strain H37Rv.

Abstract
Development of DTH reaction and survival time after M. tuberculosis H37Rv infection have been studied in H-2 congenic and recombinant mice pretreated with high doses of BCG vaccine. In addition, in vitro proliferation of lymphocytes from infected CBA, B6 and 4R mice to PPD was studied in the presence of anti-I-A and anti-I-E mAbs. High doses of BCG vaccination (1 mg/mouse) have led to a significant inhibition of DTH and diminution of survival time in B10.M (H-2f) mice only, and to opposite effects in all other strains tested (H-2a, b, d, k, h4). In I-A+, I-E- 4R mice anti-I-Ak mAbs abrogated lymphocyte proliferation to PPD completely, while in I-A+, I-E- CBA mice only the mixture of anti-I-Ak and anti-I-Ek mAbs was effective.

Abstract
An in vitro single radiation of helium-neon laser (power flux density being 2 mW/cm2 exposure--1 and 3 min) does not change the concentration of Na+ and K+, activity of Na+, K+-dependent ATPase in erythrocytes and does not affect the intensity of active Na transport through their membrane in the donor blood. The 5 min laser action decreases the level of K+ and increases that of Na+ in the erythrocytes, activates Na+, K+-ATPases and intensifies the active Na+ transport.
