Low dose radiosensitivity of alloimmune cytotoxic T cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low dose radiosensitivity of in vitro generated alloimmune murine cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) was studied. It appears that a subset of CTL exists that can be killed with 10-25 rad of x rays. These radiosensitive CTL are Lyt-1,2+ T lymphocytes. Analyses of cytotoxicity by chromium release assays indicate that the radiosensitive CTL are present in responder spleen cell cultures from all strains of mice tested. The generation of these effector cells is most pronounced in animals of the C57BL background. The mechanism of low dose radiosensitivity appears to be interphase death.

Brief DetTnitive Report LOW DOSE RADIOSENSITIVITY OF ALLOIMMUNE CYTOTOXIC T CELLS* BY CRAIG SPELLMAN AND ROBERT E. ANDERSON
The effects of ionizing radiation on the immune system relate primarily to the radiosensitivity of the small lymphocyte. Within the past several years, as our concepts of cell-cell interactions have evolved with emphasis on functional subsets of lymphocytes, it has become clear that subpopulations differ in their radiosensitivity (1). Further, the lymphocyte is unique, in that radiation-induced...
متن کاملmiR-26b enhances radiosensitivity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by targeting EphA2
Objective(s): Although low-dose radiotherapy (RT) that involves low collateral damage is more suitable for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than traditional high-dose RT, but to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effect with low-dose RT, it is necessary to sensitize HCC cells to irradiation. This study was aimed to determine whether radiosensitivity of HCC cells can be enhanced using miR-26b by tar...
متن کاملImpact of time interval and dose rate on cell survival following low-dose fractionated exposures
Enhanced cell lethality, also known as hyper-radiosensitivity, has been reported at low doses of radiation (≤0.5 Gy) in various cell lines, and is expected to be an effective cancer therapy. We conducted this study to examine the impact of time interval and dose rate of low-dose fractionated exposures with a short time interval. We evaluated the cell-survival rates of V79 and A549 cells using c...
متن کاملCloned LYT-2+ cytolytic T lymphocytes destroy allogeneic tissue in vivo
The long-accepted notion that alloimmune cytolytic T cells (CTL) mediate transplantation immunity has recently been called into question. In order to ascertain directly whether alloimmune CTL can mediate destruction of foreign tissue, we tested the ability of mouse CTL expanded as cloned populations in vitro to destroy allogeneic skin in vivo. The results of these studies prove unequivocally th...
متن کاملEarly transmembrane events in alloimmune cytotoxic T-lymphocyte activation as revealed by stopped-flow fluorometry.
We have studied early transmembrane events in mouse alloimmune cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (LC7, H-2b) activation by specific target cells (mouse mastocytoma P815, H-2d) and a mitogenic lectin, Con A, by using stopped-flow fluorometry with three different fluorescent probes. After binding to target cells (P815), cytotoxic T lymphocytes (LC7) first increased their membrane fluidity and, then, calcium...
