Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor Receptor: Stage-Specific Expression and Function on Late
نویسندگان
چکیده
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF) receptors (GMR) are expressed on myeloid cells throughout their maturational sequence. During myelopoiesis, GM-CSF induces the proliferation of precursors and has multiple effects on more mature cells; such effects include induction of maturation and priming for subsequent stimulation. GMR is expressed on a range of other cell types including acute leukemic blasts of myeloid and lymphoid lineage, but has been little studied on more mature lymphoid cells. Using sensitive triple-layer immunophenotypic techniques, we show here that both the (Y and @. chains of the GMR are expressed on hairy cells (HCs) and myelomatous plasma cells (PCs), but not on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL) lymphocytes. The receptor was demonstrable on normal PCs in tonsil, but not on either activated or resting tonsillar B cells or on circulating normal B lymphocytes. The expression of the

Expression of a Chimeric Protein Containing the Catalytic Domain of Shiga-Like Toxin and Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (hGM-CSF) in Escherichia coli and Its Recognition by Reciprocal Antibodies
Fusion of two genes at DNA level produces a single protein, known as a chimeric protein. Immunotoxins are chimeric proteins composed of specific cell targeting and cell killing moieties. Bacterial or plant toxins are commonly used as the killing moieties of the chimeric immunotoxins. In this investigation, the catalytic domain of Shiga-like toxin (A1) was fused to human granulocyte macrophage ...

The Expression of Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor by Heat-Induction in Escherichia coli
A self-regulated high-copy number plasmid containing chloramphenicol resistant gene, for the production of recombinant proteins under the regulation of bacteriophage ?pL promoter, was constructed. The designed 5024 base pair expression plasmid contained a heat sensitive repressor cI857 coding gene to regulate the function of ?pL promoter under heat shock induction. Using the constructed vector,...

With the aim of the secretion of human granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) in Escherichia coli, hGM-CSF cDNA was fused in-frame next to the signal sequence of ST toxin (ST-I) of exteroxigenic E. coli, containing 53 or 19 amino acids of signal peptide. The fused STsig::hGM-CSF coding fragments were inserted into a T7-based expression plasmid. The recombinant plasmids were ...

Background: Immunotoxins are comprised of both the cell targeting and the cell killing moieties. We previously established a new immunotoxin, i.e. Shiga toxin granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (StxA1-GM-CSF), comprises of catalytic domain of Stx, as a killing moiety and GM-CSF, as a cell targeting moiety. In this study, the ability of the immunotoxin to induce apoptosis and dou...

A novel strategy to increase protein expression yield is unintended induction of expression in complex media, called auto-induction. This method can be used to express proteins under control of the lac promoter without any need to monitor bacterial growth pattern, and addition of specific expression inducers such as Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at proper time. In the present stu...
