Regulation of sodium and potassium transport in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human blood lymphocytes.
Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or concanavalin A treatment of lymphocytes causes an increase in membrane permeability so that the leak rates of Na and K increase 1.5- to 2-fold. Active Na and K transport increase proportionately in response to the increased membrane permeability. We have examined the role of lymphocyte Na concentration in sustaining the increased Na and K transport observed after PHA...
متن کاملAdenosine metabolism in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human lymphocytes.
The association of a human genetic deficiency of adenosine deaminase activity with combined immunodeficiency prompted a study of the effects of adenosine and of inhibition of adenosine deaminase activity on human lymphocyte transformation and a detailed study of adenosine metabolism throughout phytohemagglutinin-induced blastogenesis. The adenosine deaminase inhibitor, coformycin, at a concentr...
متن کاملPotasssium transport in human blood lymphocytes treated with phytohemagglutinin.
We have confirmed that phytohemagglutinin (PHA) rapidly enhances the uptake of potassium (K+) by human blood lymphocytes. PHA, however, did not produce an increase in lymphocyte K+ concentration. The apparent steady-state of cell K+ concentration despite the marked increase in uptake of 42K+ could be explained by either an increase in K+-K+ exchange or an increase in concentrative (active) K+ a...
متن کاملReplication of poliovirus in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human lymphocytes.
Poliovirus replication has been studied in human lymphocytes during the course of blastogenesis under phytohemagglutinin (PHA) stimulation. Enhancement of virus replication in PHA-stimulated leukocyte cultures was due to an increase in number of virus-producing cells. Virus yield was approximately 10 plaque-forming units (PFU) per producing cell, both in stimulated and in nonstimulated cultures...
متن کاملPhytohemagglutinin - Stimulated Normal Human Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes in Folate - Depleted Medium : An In Vitro Model for
Normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes cultured with phytohemagglutinin in folate-free RPMI 1 640 medium supplemented with normal human serum exhibit megaloblastic maturation. These changes are accompanied by a decrease in intracellular folate content. and when compared to folate-replete cells. reveal increased 3H-thymidine incorporation into DNA together with a decreased inhibitory effect o...
