Abstract

Effect of therapy including high-protein diet and hormones on specific and nonspecific cytolysis was studied in patients with torpid and latent-running recurrent rheumatic carditis. The number of HeLa cells on which specific antigens (cardiac tissue extract, collagen, group C streptococcal nucleoproteid) were adsorbed significantly decreased on addition to the test target sensitized lymphocytes from the patients examined. As a result of therapy most patients showed the reduced activity of supernatants obtained from peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures that were incubated with specific antigens.
