Expression of 5'nucleotidase activity and wheat-germ agglutinin binding sites in mononuclear phagocytes from bone marrow cultures.

چکیده
The question as to whether the various types of mononuclear phagocyte found in bone marrow cultures and recognized by specific peroxidatic (PO) activity patterns differ in the expression of binding sites for the lectin wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA) and the activity of the ectoenzyme 5'nucleotidase (5'N) was investigated. Monoblasts, promonocytes, monocytes, and/or exudate macrophages, and exudate-resident macrophages generally showed a high level of WGA binding, and a considerably lower level was found in the PO-negative cells and in resident macrophages. 5'N activity was absent in monoblasts, promonocytes, and in the great majority of the monocytes and/or exudate macrophages, but was demonstrable in exudate-resident macrophages and resident macrophages, as well as in PO-negative macrophages after 4 days of culture. On the basis of the successive occurrence of the above-mentioned phenotypes in cultures, the possibility that this diversity in WGA binding and 5'N activity is related to modulation during cell differentiation is discussed. The present findings led to the conclusion that the PO-negative macrophages, whose origin was previously not entirely certain, are precursors of resident macrophages.

An Alkaline Phosphatase Lacking Wheat Germ Agglutinin Binding Sites Useful Enzyme for Lectin Assays with Comparable Activity to the Calf Enzyme
Despite the availability of various alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzymes, the calf enzyme is being used in current enzyme assays as the detector enzyme. The glycosylation pattern of this enzyme makes it a suitable ligand for binding to wheat germ agglutinin lectin (WGA). As a result of this property, the enzyme can not be used as a conjugate with this lectin, and the calf enzyme conjugates can...
متن کاملCharacteristics of long-term cultures of proliferating, mononuclear phagocytes from bone marrow.
The characteristics of murine bone marrow mononuclear phagocytes in long-term cultures with embryonic fibroblast-conditioned medium were studied to determine the stage of development and state of activation of these cells. Two liquid culture systems were used: for studies on the morphology, cytochemistry, and functional characteristics at the cellular level, the cells were cultured adherent to ...

Osteogenic cells were sorted from bone marrow of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-treated mice based on light scatter characteristics, Sca-1 expression, and their binding to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). Four sort gates were established using forward (FSC) and perpendicular (SSC) light scatter and were denominated as FSChigh SSClow, FSClow SSChigh, FSClow SSClow, and FSChigh SSChigh cell. Cells from the FS...
متن کاملSertoli cell condition medium can induce germ like cells from bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells
Objective(s): Although many researchers have confirmed induction of germ cells from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), there are no reports that confirm spontaneous differentiation of germ cells from BMMSCs. In this study, we have evaluated the effect of adult Sertoli cell condition medium (SCCM) as a mutative factor in the induction of germ cells from BMMSCs. Materials and Methods: ...
