SpA-induced immunoglobulin production in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. I. Conditions of SpA-induced immunoglobulin production.
Protein A (SpA) is a component of the cell wall of Slop,lylococcus aureers. SpA is unique in that it combines with the Fc portion of immunolgobulins from many speciesi,2) and has been used in immunochemical studies3,`>. Another distinctive f ature of SpA is its potent mitogenic activity on lymphocytes from several species, including hurnans5,iO}. SpA also exerts a mitogenic activity on both T a...
متن کاملEffects of Gamma Irradiation on Proliferation and IL-5 Production of Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes
Gamma irradiation is routinely used for suppression of lymphocyte function in transfusion and transplantation procedures. In recent years, some investigators focused on the effects of ionizing radiation on special aspects of lymphocyte function and considered the possibility of its clinical application for treatment of some immunological disorders. In this study, we evaluated the effects of fiv...
متن کاملCord blood T lymphocytes lack constitutive perforin expression in contrast to adult peripheral blood T lymphocytes.
Perforin is the cytolytic pore-forming protein, which alone can be responsible for the lethal hit in one of the killing mechanisms used by natural killer (NK) cells or cytotoxic T lymphocytes. In this study, perforin expression was investigated in cord blood (CB) lymphocytes to determine their killing potential in vivo. The majority of CB CD3- NK cells had the protein. Compared with adult perfo...
متن کاملEffects of steroid hormones on Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Various steroids were tested for their effects upon gonococcal O2 consumption and glucose catabolism. The ability to inhibit gonococcal O2 uptake appeared to be related to the molecular configuration of the steroid. The presence of lipophilic groups enhanced inhibition, whereas the addition of hydrophilic groups markedly diminished inhibition. Steroid inhibition decreased with an increasing num...
متن کاملIntracellular cytokine profile of cord and adult blood lymphocytes.
Umbilical cord blood (CB) transplantation is thought to be associated with a reduced risk of severe graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) compared with bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The cytokine cascade is known to be important in the pathogenesis of GVHD; however, previous studies investigating the cytokine secretion pattern of CB cells have been contradictory because of variations in experime...
