Considerable evidence indicates that cloned CTL cell lines kill target cells by releasing toxic granules that contain a cytolytic protein, called perforin, and several serine esterases (granzymes A to F). However, primary CTL, such as the highly cytolytic peritoneal exudate lymphocyte (PEL) cell population, have been found by a hemolytic assay to have no perforin, or perhaps only borderline lev...

The free-radical homopolymerization of 1,3-bis(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2propylmethacrylate dichloride (di-M) and 1,3-bis(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylacrylate dichloride (di-A) in aqueous solution yields cationic polyelectrolytes (PEL) with theoretical/structural charge spacing of only «0.12 nm. The high charge density causes condensation of «82% of the chloride counterions. The high level...

To investigate the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the pathogenesis of primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), we infected human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8+) but EBV- PEL lines BC-3, CRO-AP/6, and CRO-AP/3 cells with the recombinant Akata EBV strain. All EBV-infected clones expressed EBER-1, EBNA-1, and LMP2A. The expression of LMP1 and LMP2B was variable. None, however, expressed EBNA2-6. The surface m...

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiologic agent for Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). We previously reported that hypoxia activates KSHV lytic replication and that the promoter for open reading frame 34 (ORF34) contains a functional hypoxia-responsive element (HRE). ORF34 is part of a cluster of lytic genes (ORF34-37) that includes ORF36, a phospho...

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a distinct clinicopathologic entity associated with Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV). Several cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) may be important for survival of KS cells. However, little is known about the interaction of cytokines with KSHV-infected lymphoc...

Conflicts over environmental sustainability are increasingly being fought in court, such as the use of Public Environmental Litigation (PEL) to challenge developments impacting environment Australia and elsewhere. News media coverage PEL introduces legal actors dynamics mediatized conflict, which provides a platform for conflict gain mediated visibility their cause influence public debate. When...

UNLABELLED The Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) LANA protein is essential for the replication and maintenance of virus genomes in latently KSHV-infected cells. LANA also drives dysregulated cell growth through a multiplicity of mechanisms that include altering the activity of the cellular kinases extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3). T...
