Regulation of T Cell Growth
This PhD thesis aims to examine the growth of T cells in response to cytokines of the common gamma chain (yc) family, in particular interleukin (IL)-2 and IL15. Cell growth is commonly used to describe cells in exponential division however the growth of a cell is defined by its size and volume, which is directly related to the rate of cell metabolism and protein synthesis. Naive T cells are sma...
متن کاملRegulation of bacterial cell wall growth.
During growth and propagation, a bacterial cell enlarges and subsequently divides its peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus, a continuous mesh-like layer that encases the cell membrane to confer mechanical strength and morphological robustness. The mechanism of sacculus growth, how it is regulated and how it is coordinated with other cellular processes is poorly understood. In this article, we will discu...
متن کاملRegulation of cell growth by vitreous humour.
Extracts of normal vitreous have been found to inhibit angiogenesis in two animal models: tumour-induced neovascularization in the rabbit corneal micropocket and retinal extract-induced angiogenesis in the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. Using in vitro assays, we have found recently that an extract of bovine vitreous, free of hyaluronic acid, inhibits proliferation of cells in the aortic ...
متن کاملRegulation of T Cell Autocrine Growth
IL-2 is responsible for T cell proliferation after activation of the T cell antigen receptor complex (1-4). Detailed studies using freshly isolated lymphocytes and functional T cell clones have led to the realization that T cell clonal expansion is a complex phenomenon, based on both autocrine and paracrine mechanisms involving the IL-2-R system (5-7). All T cells respond to antigen activation ...
متن کاملThe regulation of eIF4F during cell growth and cell death.
Much effort has been focused on questions concerning the highly regulated processes of cell growth, proliferation and programmed cell death (apoptosis). Hormones, growth factors and ligands exert pleiotypic effects through activation of specific cell-surface receptors, and via transmembrane signalling and activation of common protein kinase/phosphatase cascades inside the cell. These, in turn, ...
