Preleukemic expression of TL antigens in x-irradiated C57BL/6 mice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anomalous appearance of TL (thymus-leukemia) antigens is a characteristic feature of radiation-induced leukemias of C57bl/6 mice. We now report that thymocytes of irradiated C57BL/6 mice express TL antigens long before the development of overt leukemia. Thus, TL is a marker for preleukemic changes occurring during radiation leukemogenesis. Low levels of murine leukemia virus (MuLV)-related antigens are also detected on preleukemic thymocytes. Comparative tests on individual mice show no direct correlation between TL and MuLV antigen expression.

Western Blot Analysis of Sera from Leishmania major-Infected BALB/c and C57BL/6 Mice
In Leishmania (L.) major-infected BALB/c mice Th2-type cells results in disease progression, whereas C57BL/6-infected mice mount a Th1-type response, which leads to control of the infection. Th2 response correlates with IgG1 whereas, Th1 response supports switching to IgG2a subclasses. Since IgG isotype-dominated response depends on different CD4 + T cell subsets, we studied the antigenic profi...
متن کاملComparative studies on the induction of transplantation resistance in BALB-c and C57BL-6 mice in three murine leukemia systems.
Syngeneic X-irradiated Friend, Moloney, and Rauscher (FAIR) lymphomas readily induce transplantation resistance in C57BL/6 mice. Similar resistance is more difficult to induce in BALB/c mice. To determine whether this difference in response is due to a lesser immunogenicity of FMR cells of BALB/c ori gin, C57BL/6 mice were pretreated with viable or X-irradiated BALB/c FMR cells, or with X-irrad...

(AKR X C3H)Fi mice were found to develop a high (89 per cent) incidence of spontaneous lymphoid leukemia. (AKR X C57BL)Fi hybrids had a low (8 per cent) spontaneous incidence of lymphoid leukemia but a significant (>16 per cent) incidence of reticulum-cell sarcomas. Pooled 6-month-oId preleukemic AKR spleen cells were injected intraperitoneally into 2to 5-day-old (AKR X C3H)Fiand (AKR X C57BL)F...
متن کاملTL antigen as a transplantation antigen recognized by TL-restricted cytotoxic T cells
In contrast to broadly expressed classical class I antigens of the major histocompatibility complex, structurally closely related TL antigens are expressed in a highly restricted fashion. Unlike classical class I antigens, TL antigens are not known to be targets of cytotoxic T cells or to mediate graft rejection. Whereas classical class I antigens function as antigen-presenting molecules to T c...
متن کاملExpression of peanut agglutinin receptors on virus-induced preleukemic cells in mice.
Preleukemic bone marrow and spleen cells of irradiated C57BL/6 mice that were inoculated with the radiation-induced leukemia virus variant D-RadLV differ from autonomous end-stage leukemia cells in the expression of the receptor for peanut agglutinin. As a result, the preleukemic cells are agglutinated by peanut agglutinin and the end-stage cells are not. This observation provides further evide...
