Abstract

PURPOSE:To compensate such a defect that the secretion of several kinds of cytokinins is equally suppressed and to reduce the culturing labor and time of a cell by administering an inflammatory cell stimulating substance in a vein of an experimental animal to secrete several kinds of cytokinins in serum of the animal other than PGs. CONSTITUTION:After a substance to be tested is administered to an experimental animal, an inflammatory cell stimulating substance is administered in a vein and the concns. of serum prostaglandins (PGE 2 on PG 12) and several kinds of cytokinins (interleukin-1alpha [IL-1alpha], IL-lbeta, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha) formed by this administration are determined. Then, a simple test of a substance having cyclooxygenase activity and a cytokinin producing inhibiting action of every kind is performed. The kinds of cytokinins suppressed or increased in secretion by the pre-administration of various medicines (antirheumatic agent, anti- immunizing agent) are different and, by analyzing cytokinin secreting patterns, the properties of a medicine can be cleared.
