Lymphocyte transformation test with rabbit liver specific lipoprotein (RLSP) in chronic active hepatitis

L Ortona et al. Clin Exp Immunol. 1979 Nov.

Abstract

Cellular sensitization to rabbit liver specific lipoprotein (RLSP) has been investigated using a lymphocyte transformation test in patients with chronic active hepatitis (CAH). A stimulation index greater than 2 was recorded in twenty out of twenty-five cases (eight of ten HBsAg positive and twelve of fiteen HBsAg negative) while values were lower than 2 in all the normal subjects. These results confirm the finding of sensitization to LSP in chronic active hepatitis irrespective of HBsAg status and show that rabbit LSP can be used as an alternative to the human antigen in the lymphocyte transformation test, and is further evidence that this liver membrane lipoprotein has antigenic determinants which have species-cross-reactivity.
