Phytohemagglutinin-induced cytotoxic action of normal lymphocytes on cells in tissue culture using 14C-leucine incorporation.

چکیده
Stimulation of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and production of PHA-induced cytotoxicity were investigated. PBL transformation stimulated by PHA was measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation, and the cytotoxicity was assayed by measuring the reduction of 14C-leucine incorporation in to target cells after interaction with PHA-treated PBL. The cytotoxicity of PHA-treated PBL showed dose response curves which corresponded with that of PBL transformation. Reduced 14C-leucine incorporation of target cells caused by cytotoxic PBL would be a reliable measure of immune reactions.

Alpha-fetoprotein synthesis by murine lymphoid cells in allogeneic reactions
Surface-bound alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was demonstrated by immunofluorescence on approximately 1/3 of splenic lymphocytes in chronic murine graft vs. host (GVH) reactions. Splenic lymphocytes were also shown to have a suppressed phytohemagglutinin (PHA) response compared to controls while lymph node cells from the same GVH animals revealed no surface AFP and had normal PHA responses. Splenic lym...
متن کاملAdenosine and adenosine analogues are more toxic to chronic lymphocytic leukemia than to normal lymphocytes.
We compared the effect of adenosine and adenosine analogues on the phytohemagglutinin-induced proliferative response of blood lymphocytes from normal subjects and patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. As measured by the inhibition of thymidine or leucine incorporation, adenosine was more toxic to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) than to normal lymphocytes. This difference was not affect...
متن کاملThe Influence of Iron Loading and Iron Chelation on the Proliferation and Telomerase Activity of Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
Background: Iron is an essential trace element in cell proliferation. Several investigations demonstrate that iron deprivation inhibits cell proliferation. However, the impact of iron on telomerase activity of activated lymphocytes remains unexplained to date. Objective: In this study, the effect of iron on the proliferation and telomerase activity of lymphocytes stimulated by phytohemagglutini...
متن کاملEstimation of cell damage in monolayer culture using 14C-leucine incorporation.
A comparison was made of 14C-leucine incorporation and cell viability of T24 human bladder carcinoma cells after treatment with Thio-Tepa, a potent alkylating agent. It was found that Thio-Tepa produced concentration-dependent damage in these cells and also that 14C-leucine incorporation correlated well with cell viability. 14C-leucine incorporation can be used as a reliable and rapid screening...
متن کاملO-31: Mifepristone Acts as Progesterone Antagonistof Non-Genomic Responses but InhibitsPhytohemagglutinin Induced Proliferationin Human T Cells
Background: Progesterone is an endogenous immunomodulator that suppresses T cell activation during pregnancy. The stimulation of membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) would seem to be the cause of rapid non-genomic responses in human peripheral T cells, such as an elevation of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+] i) and decreased intracellular pH (pHi). Mifepristoneimmune cells compared with progeste...
