Abstract
- All types (cationic, anionic and non-ionic) amphiphilic detergents significantly inhibited the production of both IgG and IgM by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells after polyclonal activation in vitro. The most potent inhibitors were didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) and (1-methyldodecyl)dimethylamine N-oxide (2-ATDNO). They were able to suppress effectively the immunoglobulin production in 10(-3)-10(-8) M concentrations. A medium inhibitory effect was observed with Slovapon, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and Triton X-100, while Slovanik showed an inhibition only in concentrations higher than 10(-2)%. These results suggest that amphiphilic detergents may be characterized as potential immunotoxic substances with very negative effects on the immunoglobulin production.
