Naturally developing memory T cell xenoreactivity to swine antigens in human peripheral blood lymphocytes.
Naturally developing xenospecific Abs are well-documented barriers to xenograft transplantation in humans, but whether analogous xenoreactive T cell immunity develops is not known. We used an enzyme-linked immunospot assay to determine the frequency and cytokine profiles of xenoreactive PBLs from a panel of human volunteers. Because naive T cells produce only IL-2 in short term culture, IFN-gam...
متن کاملCord blood T lymphocytes lack constitutive perforin expression in contrast to adult peripheral blood T lymphocytes.
Perforin is the cytolytic pore-forming protein, which alone can be responsible for the lethal hit in one of the killing mechanisms used by natural killer (NK) cells or cytotoxic T lymphocytes. In this study, perforin expression was investigated in cord blood (CB) lymphocytes to determine their killing potential in vivo. The majority of CB CD3- NK cells had the protein. Compared with adult perfo...
متن کاملPhosphoinositide hydrolysis in mitogen-stimulated human peripheral-blood T lymphocytes.
Both phytohaemagglutinin and antibodies to the CD3 molecule induced proliferation and phosphoinositide hydrolysis in human peripheral-blood T lymphocytes, but the magnitude of the inositol phosphate response was small and the rate of accumulation slow [significant increases in Ins(1,4,5)P3 were observed only after 10 min]. Hence this response differs from the well-characterized Ins(1,4,5)P3 res...
متن کاملLine with Supersensitivity to 6-Thioguanine Characterization of a Hydroxyurea-resistant Human KB Cell
proteins. The Ml subunit is a Mr 170,000 protein with a binding site for substrates such as CDP (4, 5). M2 (Mr 88,000) contains a tyrosyl free radical, a unique protein-bound organic free radical, and non heme iron. The iron and the tyrosyl groups are essential for the RR enzyme activity. HU is known to target on M2, interfering with the free radical of M2 and thereby inactivating RR activity (...
متن کاملCharacterization of a hydroxyurea-resistant human KB cell line with supersensitivity to 6-thioguanine.
Hydroxyurea (HU) is currently used in the clinic for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia, head and neck carcinoma, and sarcoma. One of its drawbacks, however, is the development of HU resistance. To study this problem, we developed a HU-resistant human KB cell line which exhibits a 15-fold resistance to HU. The characterization of this HU-resistant phenotype revealed a gene amplificat...
