Porphyrin synthesis by cultured lymphocytes.
Peripheral lymphocytes were cultured in the presence and absence of phytohemagglutinin (PHA). Porphyrin synthesis was visually estimated by fluorescence and quantitated by fluorometry. No visual fluorescence was noted in cells cultured with or without PHA. Addition of #{246}-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) to cultures of either transformed or nontransformed lymphocytes resulted in fluorescence, indic...
متن کاملCitrate synthesis by lymphocytes.
The important role of lymphocytes in humoral and cell-mediated immunity indicates that they need a readily available intracellular source of energy. Here, we demonstrate that these cells contain enzymes involved in citrate formation. The citrate is oxidized through the tricarboxylic acid cycle to furnish energy. A newly devised, simple radiometric method was used to determine the condensation o...
متن کاملInhibition of IL-13 by Antisense Oligonucleotide Changes Immunoglobulin Isotype Profile in Cultured B-Lymphocytes
The link between IL-13 and bronchial hyper-responsiveness has brought this cytokine as a potential therapeutic target for asthma and allergic diseases. At the present study, we address the role of B cell derived IL-13 in the IgE and other immunoglobulin development. Antisense oligo for human IL-13 m-RNA was used to study IgE down regulation. Human B-lymphocytes were purified by positive selecti...
متن کاملGenotoxicity induced by iodine-131 in human cultured lymphocytes
131-radioiodine has been widely used as an effective radionuclide for treatment of patients with thyroid diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the genotoxic effects of iodine-131 in human cultured lymphocytes. Whole blood samples from human volunteers were incubated with iodine-131 (10, 50, 100 µCi/1.5ml) for 2 h. The lymphocytes were mitogenically stimulated to allow for evalu...
متن کاملTransferrin synthesis by inducer T lymphocytes.
Transferrin (Tf) is a growth factor that transports iron in plasma. It is essential for proliferation of activated T lymphocytes. Previous studies have suggested that peripheral blood cells are capable of synthesizing Tf. Using in situ hybridization techniques and human Tf complementary DNAs as probes, peripheral blood cells have been examined for sites of Tf messenger RNA (mRNA) transcription....
