Abstract
The presence of β-adrenergic receptors on murine lymphocytes has recently been demonstrated (8). β-adrenergic agonists and antagonists have been found to alter the murine lymphocyte’s response to either Concanavalin A or Lipopolysaccharide B. The regulation of the response to Concanavalin A or Lipopolysaccharide B by these β-adrenergic ligands is most effective if the β-adrenergic ligand is added within one hour of the addition of mitogen and at concentrations greater than 1×10−-7 M. The possibility that adrenergic modulation of the lymphocyte response may be β-receptor mediated is supported by the observation of competition between adrenergic agonists and antagonists.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
