Synergistic Enhancement of Nitrite on Lysophospholipid-Mediated Cytolysis.

SYNERGISTIC INFLUENCE OF NITRITE ON INHIBITION OF MILD STEEL CORROSION IN CHLORIDE CONTAMINATED ALKALINE SOLUTION

Corrosion behavior of mild steel in chloride contaminated alkaline solution has been studied for the period up to 100days. Saturated Calcium hydroxide solution was used as alkaline solution and 0.5M NaCl solution was used to accelerate mild steel corrosion. The Charge transfer resistance Rct, Current density Icorr and inhibition efficiency values were obtained from tafel polarization and electr...

The effect of glycation of CD59 on complement-mediated cytolysis.

Vascular proliferation is one of the major causes for morbidity and mortality in diabetes. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that link hyperglycemia to this complication remain unclear. In present study, we demonstrated by site-directed mutagenesis that mutated CD59 was more susceptible to glycation-inactivation for hyperglycemia. Mutated and wild-type CD59s were stably expressed i...

Energy Metabolism and T-cell-mediated Cytolysis

The destruction of appropriate target cells by cytolytic thymus-derived lymphocytes (CTL) 1 is an active energy-requiring phenomenon (1-3). In the accompanying paper (4), we presented evidence that T-cell-mediated cytolysis could be supported by either oxidative or glycolytic energy pathways and was in general strongly inhibited only in those situations in which both respiration and glycolysis ...

Augmentation of spontaneous macrophage-mediated cytolysis by eosinophil peroxidase

Eosinophil peroxidase (EPO), a cationic protein purified from horse blood, adhered to four different types of tumor cells, markedly potentiating their lysis by preformed or enzymatically generated H(2)0(2) (up to 76-fold, as assayed in serum-containing tissue culture medium without supplemental halide). Similarly, compared with uncoated tumor cells, EPO-coated tumor cells were up to 32 times mo...
