“…In this test, tumour cells plated in tissue culture are exposed to lymphocytes and the inhibitory effect assessed from the number of tumour colonies formed, compared with the effect of lymphocytes from normal donors. Cellmediated immune suppression of colony formation cells of both virus and chemically-induced animal tumours has been detected by this method (Hellstrom , 1970, Baldwin & Embleton 1971). Analysis of the reactions to chemically-induced rat hepatomas (Baldwin & Embleton 1971), where each tumour carries an individually distinct tumour rejection antigen, has been especially valuable in providing a critical appraisal of the validity of colony-inhibition methods for detecting tumour-specific immune reactions.…”

“…These antigens in experimental tumours have frequently been described as tumour-specific transplantation antigens because of their capacity to elicit immunity against tumour cells transplanted into syngeneic recipients, but since they are also recognized by the autochthonous host, a more apt description is tumour rejection antigen. Tumours induced by chemical or physical agents express individually distinct tumour antigens so that immunization against one tumour does not confer on the host resistance to other tumours even when they are induced by the same carcinogen (Baldwin 1970). Virus-induced tumours, however, contain cross-reacting antigens showing virus-related specificities and immunization against one tumour affords protection against other tumours induced by the same virus, but not those induced by other viruses (Habel 1969, Pasternak 1969.…”

“…A toxic heavy metal is any relatively dense metal or metalloid known for potential toxicity, especially in environmental contexts (Baldwin and Marshall, 1999). The term has particular application to cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb) and arsenic (Ar) (Bánfalvi, 2011), all of which appear in the World Health Organisation's list of ten chemicals of major public concern (Barceloux, 1999).…”

The assessment of heavy metal concentration (Cu, Fe, Zn, Pb, Cd, Co and Cr) and bacteriological contamination in five (5) most consumed vegetables Talinum triangulare, Celosia argentea, Vernonia amygdalina, Corchorus olitorus and Telfaria occidentalis in Abeokuta Metropolis was carried out because the consumption of vegetables on display in markets and roadsides had been associated with gastro-intestinal disorders. The vegetables were randomly purchased from six markets within the metropolis and analyzed using standard procedures involving Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) and Standard Plate Count (SPC). The levels of heavy metals in leafy vegetables varied significantly (P < 0.05) across locations and were within World Health Organisation (WHO)/Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), permissible limits except for Pb and Co found in T. occidentalis, C. argentea, T. triangulare and V. amygdalina. Eleven species of bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Microccoccus species, Staphyloccocus aureus, Klebsiella aerogenes, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Proteus mirabilis and Bacillus megaterium were isolated from the leafy vegetables. B. subtilis was the most abundant (93.3% occurrence) while B. megaterium and S. aureus were least 7 7 abundant (8% occurrence). Total colony counts of bacteria ranged from 1.51 x 10-58.50 x 10 (CFU/g) with V. amygdlina and Celosia argentea both from Elega having the lowest and highest values respectively. The levels of heavy metals and bacterial contamination in selected vegetables were found to be unsafe. Public sensitisations on hygienic handling of vegetables from production to consumption in addition to frequent safety assessment are recommended to minimize human exposure to heavy metals and bacterial pathogens.

To evaluate the in vivo antioxidant activity of alcoholic extract of the roots of Rubia cordifolia (RC). Male mice, were exposed, either to a diet containing 40mg/kg body weight of Pb nitrate or combined with Rubia cordifolia for the first period of 40 days, where the animals were sacrificed for oxidative studies. Ingestion of Pb (NO 3 ) 2 was significantly decreased RBC count, WBC count, Hb level and serum total protein contents in the mice. But, serum Alanine Transaminase, Aspartate Aminotransferase, and cholesterol level were significantly increased after implication of this metal. However, oral administration of Rubia cordifolia, to lead treated mice led to marked improvement in both hematological and serum biochemical changes. Rubia cordifolia alone had moderate effect on mice, where as co-administration of lead nitrate with Rubia cordifolia reversed the effect of lead.
