Phenytoin is a highly effective anticonvulsant agent that is widely administrated to prevent some kinds of patients with brain tumor. But it has been said that phenytoin may have some immunosuppresive potential for hosts. In this study, we evaluated the effects of phenytoin upon cellular immunity such as NK, CTL and LAK activity in murine models.

Fresh splenocytes were taken out from mice (CBA/J, C3H/HeN, C 57 BL/6) into which pheny-toin had been injected intraperitoneally at a daily dose of 1,000 itg for 28 days. The serum concent-ration of phenytoin in the experimental models was 10-20 ug/ml. The cytotoxic activities were estimated by a 4-hr 51Cr release assay. The mito-gen-stimulated lymphocyte function was evaluated by 3H-thymidine incorporation into DNA.

The NK activity was estimated by cytotoxicity of splenocytes of CBA/J mice against NK-sensi-tive YAC-1 cells. The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) activity was estimated by cytotoxicity of splenocytes of C 57 BL/6 mice which were stimu-lated in vitro for 5 days by splenocytes of C 3H/ HeN treated with mitomycin C, against RSV-M glioma cells. Lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity was estimated by cytotoxicity of LAK cells, which were induced from splenocytes of C 3 H/HeN mice by human recombinant interleu-kin-2 (rIL-2), against syngeneic RSV glioma and allogeneic 203 glioma cells.

3H-thymidine incorporation of splenocytes of C 57 BL/6 mice was reduced significantly (p<0.01) in phenytoin-treated mice. The cytotoxicity of splenocytes of non-treated CBA/J mice aginst YAC-1 cells was 75%, but that of phenytoin-treated CBL/J mice was a few %. And the cyto-toxicity of CTL induced from splenocytes of non-treated C 57 BL/6 mice against RSV-M glioma was 65%, but that of CTL from phenytoin-treated mice was a few %. Both NK activty and CTL activity were not induced from phenytoin treated mice. The cytotoxicity of LAK cells from pheny-toin-treated mice was not so significantly reduced, compared with normal mice. In conclusion, pheny-toin suppress lymphocyte responsiveness to conA and rIL-2, NK activity and CTL activity, but not LAK activity. These findings suggest that biological response modifiers (BMR) enhancing NK activity or/and CTL activity are not so effec-tive for the patients who are administrated with phenytoin, and that the adoptive immunotherapy with LAK cells are rather effective for such patients.
