Mitogenic properties of pokeweed lectin-D isoforms on human peripheral blood lymphocytes: non-mitogen PL-D1 and mitogen PL-D2.

چکیده
We investigated native structures and mitogenic properties of pokeweed lectin-D isoforms (PL-D1 and -D2) on human peripheral blood lymphocytes along with other isolectins (PL-A to -C). Both native PL-D isoforms appeared to behave as monomers. PL-D2 proliferated the lymphocytes like PL-C, whereas PL-D1 had no mitogenicity. PL-D1 acquired mitogenic activity after trimming of the C-terminal dipeptide.

Lymphocyte function in myasthenia gravis.
Mitogen-induced blastoid transformation of peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with myasthenia gravis was studied using a microplate culture technique and evaluated with 3H-thymidine incorporation. It was found that both phytohaemagglutinin and pokeweed mitogen responses decreased significantly in patients with myasthenia gravis. In myasthenic crisis, indices of stimulation by phytohaema...
متن کاملModulation of the mitogenic response of lymphocytes from young and aged individuals by prostaglandins and indomethacin.
The effect of indomethacin (IND) on the mitogenic responses of human peripheral blood lymphocytes was dependent upon the dose of mitogen employed; in contrast, the effect of prostaglandins (PCs) was independent of the mitogen dose. When a single concentration of mitogen was used to study the effect of IND on blastogenesis, extremely variable results were observed, even among a healthy populatio...
متن کاملEvaluation of proliferation and cytokines production by mitogen-stimulated bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells
This in vitro study was conducted to evaluate lymphocyte blastogenic and cytokine production by bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and concanavalin A (Con A) mitogens, by using tetrazolium salt and ELISA tests, respectively. The results presented that Interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-17 and IFN-...
متن کاملCells involved in the mitogen-induced helper function which facilitates the blastogenic response to Actinomyces viscosus.
Coculture of human peripheral blood lymphocyte suspensions, previously pulsed with either pokeweed mitogen (PWM) or an Actinomyces viscosus ultrasonicate supernatant fraction (AV), resulted in a blastogenic response that was greater than the sum of the responses of the two independently cultured lymphocyte suspensions. Selective cobalt-51 irradiation of the precultured lymphocytes prior to cocu...
متن کاملEffect of Pokeweed Mitogen (pwm) on Lymphocyte Lysosomfs
Resting blood lymphocytes in vitro undergo transformation into large, blastlike, dividing cells following incubation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), a plant lectin from Phaseolus vulgaris (1). Farnes et al. (2) found another phytomitogen in saline extracts of the plant Phytolacca americana (pokeweed). Although both PHA and the pokeweed mitogen (PWM) induce nonspecific transformation of lymphocyt...
