Growth of B-lymphocytes clones in semisolid culture is mitogen dependent
نویسندگان
چکیده
A substance which was mitogenic for murine B lymphocytes in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol was isolated from agar. Stimulating activity of this material was stable to proteolysis or protein denaturants but was destroyed by periodate treatment. Agar-derived mitogen stimulation was distinct from that obtained with dextran sulfate or lipopolysaccharide and may define different populations of B lymphocytes.

Transforming growth factor betas are multifunctional polypeptides in the cytokine superfamily. They have a growth inhibitory role on hemopoietic progenitor cells in semisolid colony assay as well as in long-term bone-marrow culture. TGF - β2 represses stromal cells, stem cell factor gene transcription, and decreases the stability of c-kit transcripts in hemopoietic cells. TGF-β also modulat...
متن کاملHuman T-cell leukemia virus type I infection of CD4+ or CD8+ cytotoxic T-cell clones results in immortalization with retention of antigen specificity.
The human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is capable of chronically infecting various types of T cells and nonlymphoid cells. The effects of chronic infection on the specific functional activities and growth requirements of mature cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) have remained poorly defined. We have, therefore, investigated the results of HTLV-I infection of both CD4+ and CD8+ human CTL clo...
متن کاملT Lymphocytes Specific for Immunoglobulin Allotype
Despite much effort, the structural features of the surface molecules responsible for antigen recognition by thymus-derived (T) cells remain unclear (l, 2) . Progress in this area will in part depend on the availability of homogeneous T cells from which to isolate and purify T cell receptor molecules in quantities sufficient to characterize them . With the advent of recent technology, the devel...

Endothelial cells obtained from the aortae of 1- to 2-d-old calves were cloned at high efficiency using fibrin-coated dishes. Primary cultures as well as clones derived from them produced high fibrinolytic activity when grown on 125I-fibrin-coated dishes which was 90% dependent upon the presence of plasminogen. High plasminogen-dependent proteolytic activity was also demonstrated in endothelial...
متن کاملDevelopment of specific nanobodies (VHH) for CD19 immuno-targeting of human B-lymphocytes
Objective(s): CD19 is a transmembrane glycoprotein of immunoglobulin superfamily. In order to treat lymphoma, monoclonal antibodies (mAb) can target different antigens, including CD19, CD20 and CD22 on the surface of B-cells. Along with biotechnology progress, a new generation of antibodies is introduced, with the purpose of eliminating the defects of the previous generation. Among the most dev...
