Quantitative analysis of lymphocyte-Salmonella interaction and effect of lymphocyte irradiation by Helium-Neon laser

Quantitative analysis of lymphocyte-Salmonella interaction and effect of lymphocyte irradiation by Helium-Neon laser

S Passarella et al. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. .

Abstract

A model system has been developed to quantitatively investigate bacteria-cell interaction using a rough mutant of Salmonella and human peripheral blood lymphocytes. The effect of lymphocyte irradiation by low-power continuous wave Helium-Neon laser has been investigated since laser therapy in wound and decoubitous ulcer healing could involve the lymphoid cell function. Helium-Neon laser irradiation is shown here to enhance the adherence of Salmonella to lymphocytes. In particular, changes in newly defined binding parameters show that laser irradiation increases the frequency of binding-lymphocytes, the affinity of Salmonella for lymphocytes and the number of lymphocyte receptor sites as well.
