Fabrication of a high-capacity rack for microcentrifuge tubes.
Described in this report is a method for the fabrication of a versatile , inexpensive rack for microcentrifuge tubes that offers distinct advantages over conventional plastic racks. In addition to holding a larger number of samples than conventional plastic racks, this rack can also support samples in an ice slurry or shallow water bath. Since these racks take about five minutes to make and cos...
متن کاملMechanisms of dendritic cell-induced T cell proliferation in the primary MLR assay.
DC are unique antigen presenting cells, and their ability to induce proliferation of T cells in a mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) assay is commonly used for the evaluation of their function. To determine the mechanisms involved in DC-induced T cell activation in a primary MLR assay, a variety of different agents were examined in this study that interfere with DNA synthesis, membrane organization...
متن کاملEffects of valproic acid and pioglitazone on cell cycle progression and proliferation of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia Jurkat cells
Objective(s): T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic malignant tumor. Administration of chemical compounds influencing apoptosis and T cell development has been discussed as promising novel therapeutic strategies. Valproic acid (VPA) as a recently emerged anti-neoplastic histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor and pioglitazone (PGZ) as a high-affinity peroxisome p...
متن کاملHomeostatic T Cell Proliferation
Through positive and negative selection, the thymus allows a small fraction of immature CD4 ϩ 8 ϩ double positive thymocytes to differentiate into mature CD4 ϩ 8 Ϫ or CD4 Ϫ 8 ϩ single positive cells; these cells are released into the periphery to establish the mature T cell pool. Positive selection rescues thymocytes that express TCR with low affinity for peptides bound to MHC molecules express...
متن کاملAn Activated Form of Notch Influences the Choice between CD4 and CD8 T Cell Lineages
Notch is a transmembrane receptor that controls cell fate decisions in Drosophila and whose role in mammalian cell fate decisions is beginning to be explored. We are investigating the role of Notch in a well-studied mammalian cell fate decision: the choice between the CD8 and CD4 T cell lineages. Here we report that expression of an activated form of Notch1 in developing T cells of the mouse le...
