    Notes: Abstract. Psychosocial factors can influence immune functions: the brain intermediates between the outside world and the inside of the body. The functional interaction between the central nervous system and the immune system is effected by 2 different pathways: the nervous “wiring system” innervating lymphoid tissues and the “soluble connection” via the neuroendocrine system. The paper reviews data from the literature regarding changes in susceptibility to infections due to stressful conditions. Emphasis is given to information regarding infection of the oral cavity and the upper respiratory tract.

    Notes: Binding of leucocytes to endothelial cells (EC) is essential as an initial step in inflammatory responses. We present a rapid, non-radioactive method to measure adhesion of human lymphoid cells to EC using flow cytometry. Freshly isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were allowed to adhere to EC grown in 24-well plates. Non-adhering cells were removed, after which adhering cells and EC were dissociated using trypsin/EDTA. These samples were subsequently analysed by flow cytometry, using scatter properties to distinguish between adhering cells and EC. The ratio of the number of adhering leucocytes and EC was calculated to quantify adhesion. Results of the flow cytometric adhesion assay were comparable to those obtained with a conventional adhesion assay using chromium-labelled cells. We additionally show that by using the flow cytometric adhesion assay, adhesion of lymphocyites and monocytes present within the adhering PBMC can be quantified simultaneously. As a model, the contribution of LFA-1 (CD11a,CD18) and ICAM-1 (CD54) in adhesion of PBMC to EC was studied. It was found that adhesion of lymphocytes and monocytes is regulated differently by phorbol ester and that the relative contribution of LFA-1 and ICAM-1 differs for both cell types.
