Sažetak

In the present investigation, citrinin (CIT) (10 mg/kg feed) and endosulfan (1mg/kg bw) were administered orally alone and in combination to pregnant Wistar rats from gestational day 6 to 20 to study their effect on the immune response of the pregnant Wistar rats. Cell mediated Immune response was assessed by delayed type hypersensitivity against ovalbumin, and lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl) 2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide). The humoral immune response was judged by Hemagglutination against SRBCs and indirect ELISA. Cell mediated immune response in citrinin (Gr I) was more compared to endosulfan (Gr II) treated rats as at 72 hrs the ear pinna thickness in citrinin was more than endosulfan (0.76 ± 0.011 mm vs 0.68 ± 0.006 mm), and identical findings were seen in stimulation index by LTT (1.00 ± 0.001 vs 0.90 ± 0.001). In humoral immune response the trend changed, by hemagglutination the animals in group I (citrinin) showed less titre than group II (endosulfan) (2.83 ± 0.31 vs 4.00 ± 0.26), however, by indirect ELISA the titre of citrinin (gr I) was more than that of endosulfan (gr II) (0.081 ± 0.003 vs 0.073 ± 0.001). However, in the combined group the animals were significantly more immunocompromised when adjudged for cell mediated (DTH: 0.57 ± 0.008 mm; LTT: 0.80 ± 0.007) and humoral immune responses (HA: 2.33 ± 0.21; indirect ELISA: 0.066 ± 0.001) as compared to the individually intoxicated groups and control (DTH: 0.94 ±0.012 mm; LTT: 1.10 ± 0.001), (HA: 5.50 ± 0.22; indirect ELISA: 0.108 ± 0.006). It may be concluded that with simultaneous exposure CIT and endosulfan, are potent immunosuppressants, but when they were given together their effect was enhanced possibly due to their additional interaction in pregnant Wistar rats.
