Human monocyte activation by supernatants from concanavalin A (con A) stimulated lymphocytes 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Human peripheral lymphocytes were stimulated with Concanavalin A (Con A) in the absence of serum. Supernatants were collected from control and mitogen stimulated lymphocyte cultures and fractions pooled according to the elution before, together with or after human serum albumin which was added as a marker. Only one fraction derived from Con A stimulated lymphocyte culture Supernatants which eluted immediately after human serum albumin had a significant effect on the metabolism and structure of human monocytes in vitro. Monocytes separated by human serum albumin and incubated with this fraction for 20 hr had an increase in nuclear RNA synthesis. Monocytes attached to cover slips in Leighton tubes showed an increase in the percentage of phagocytizing cells and phagocytic activity. Electron microscopy demonstrated highly phagocytic cells containing numerous Golgi associated granules and strands of nondilated rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum in presence of the active fraction. 相似文献

B-like lymphoblastoid cell lines were obtained by long-term culture of human spleen leukocytes in RPMI 1640 medium containing human plasma fraction instead of whole foetal calf serum. These cell lines, which did not form E-rosettes had membrane immunoglobulins, and expressed Epstein-Barr virus antigens. Most synthesized intracytoplasmic immunoglobulins and were shown to be diploid and to remain so after subcultures. All produced interferon upon induction with Sendai virus. 相似文献

The cytoplasmic membranes and a cytoplasmic fraction of Staphylococcus aureus L-forms increased the incorporation of [3H] thymidine by human lymphocytes in the presence of fetal bovine serum. Both fractions stimulated cord blood lymphocytes as well as adult peripheral lymphocytes, suggesting the possibility that the observed effect was not due to an antigen-specific reaction, but to an immunologically nonspecific action. The membrane mitogen(s) was resistant to trypsin, although it was partially solubilized by trypsin treatment. The mitogen (s) could not be extracted with a chloroform-methanol mixture (2:1, v/v), although the chloroform-methanol soluble fraction was strongly mitogenic to murine splenocytes. Human serum which was added to the assay system in place of fetal bovine serum definitely suppressed the mitogenic effect of both cytoplasmic membranes and the cytoplasmic fraction, especially the latter. 相似文献

Human serum was submitted to a one step displacement-ligand exchange chromatography. Displacement removed serum albumin and part of gamma-globulins. Ligand exchange furnished an enriched heme-hemopexin fraction. An original, non denaturing human heme-hemopexin preparation is proposed. 相似文献

A κ-casein-like fraction was prepared from human whole casein by gel filtration with Sephadex G-150 and Biogel A-150 m. The fraction was calcium-insensitive and its solution became turbid by rennin. In polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic (PAE) analysis, the fraction gave 11~12 bands after reduction with 2-mercaptoethanol. It appeared to exist as a disulfide- bound complex of many components. The occurrence of human para-IC-caseins from the fraction after rennin treatment was confirmed by PAE. When the reduced, alkylated human κ-casein-like fraction was chromatographed by DEAE-cellulose, several fractions were obtained. After rennin treatment, they formed either a para-SCM-κ-casein band moving toward the cathode on PAE pattern or the one which moved toward the anode. These results suggest that two para-κ-caseins were formed from human whole casein or human κ-casein-like fraction by the action of rennin. 相似文献

Previous studies at our laboratory have shown that an antibody (antiegressin) present in the serum of chronically infected mice is capable of inhibiting the egress of Trypanosoma cruzi from infected BALB/c fibroblasts. We have used this in vitro system to evaluate whether human chagasic serum is also capable of inhibiting T. cruzi egress. BALB/c fibroblasts were infected with tissue culture-derived parasites. Five-percent solutions of the individual human serum samples in culture medium were added to the wells, and the number of parasites released was determined at day 5 after infection. The cells cultured with serum from infected individuals released between 37% and 72% fewer parasites than those cultured with control serum. A similar reduction in parasite egress resulted from incubation with the protein-A purified IgG fraction from 3 of these human samples. Immunocytochemical staining employing antineuraminidase antibodies supported the notion that the reduction in parasite levels is due to inhibition at the point of parasite egress. These results indicate that human serum of individuals infected with T. cruzi is capable of inhibiting release of the parasite from infected tissue culture cells and that the phenomenon of egress-inhibition may be relevant during infection of human subjects. 相似文献

Human serum does contain a high molecular weight hepatocyte growth factor: studies pre- and post-hepatic resection 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Levels of a high molecular weight hepatotrophin were measured in human serum taken from patients before and 24 hours after undergoing major hepatic resection. In in-vitro rat hepatocyte cultures a 'hepatotrophin' enriched fraction of human serum induced the incorporation of tritiated thymidine into DNA in both pre and post-operative patients. Levels after hepatic resection were 2-3 fold higher than those achieved at the same protein concentration before operation in the same patient. The hepatotrophic factor had an apparent molecular weight of approximately 150,000 daltons, and was an anionic protein. 相似文献

To help determine physiologically important routes by which zinc (Zn) is acquired by human fetal vascular endothelium, the
authors incubated cultured umbilical vein endothelial cells with65Zn(II)-tracer labeled human fetal whole serum, ultrafiltrate (containing low molecular mass serum zinc complexes), and dialyzed
serum (containing protein-bound zinc). Zinc from whole serum and from both serum fractions entered a rapidly labeled cellular
compartment removable by edetic acid (EDTA), representing Zn bound to the outside cell surface, and accumulatively, an EDTA-resistant
compartment’probably largely internalized Zn. Entry of Zn into the EDTA-resistant pool from both serum fractions was strongly
temperature-dependent, and was not via the EDTA-sensitive pool. Entry from the ultrafiltrate was resolvable into high affinity
saturable, and non-(or hardly-) saturable components. Transfer from the dialyzed serum fraction was not significantly saturable,
but only partially accounted for by nonspecific pinocytosis. Thus, Zn is obtained by fetal vascular endothelium partly from
low molecular mass serum species, probably through at least one carrier-mediated membrane transport system; but also from
Zn complexed with serum protein, via at least one metabolism-related route. 相似文献

The evaluation of lipoproteins in rat serum which was separated by cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis was studied in comparison with that in human serum. In contrast to the human lipoprotein pattern, the top of the rat lipoprotein fraction exceeded the albumin fraction towards the anode. By the analysis of ultracentrifugation and post-heparin serum lipolytic activity, the characters of lipoprotein fractions electrophoretically separated in rat serum was confirmed as similar to human serum lipoprotein. 相似文献

Electrospray tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine steady-state serum and urinary inorganic sulfate and sulfate ester kinetic profiles of nine normal men after intravenous injection of the stable isotope sodium [34S]sulfate. Sulfate ester appearance was traced by eliminating inorganic sulfate from samples, followed by hydrolysis of sulfate esters to inorganic sulfate for analysis. Whole body inorganic sulfate turnover in steady state was calculated using standard tracer techniques. Rate of appearance and disappearance of inorganic sulfate was 841 +/- 49 micromol/h. Average urinary inorganic sulfate excretion was 609 +/- 41 micromol/h, and the whole body sulfation rate (total rate of disappearance minus rate of urinary excretion) was 232 +/- 36 micromol/h. Tracer-labeled sulfate esters appeared in serum and urine within 1 h of tracer injection. The kinetics of inorganic sulfate and sulfate esters were linked by means of a compartmental model. The appearance and excretion of sulfate esters accounted for approximately 50% of the total sulfation rate. These results indicate that human whole body sulfation accounts for approximately 27% of inorganic sulfate turnover and that extracellular inorganic sulfate is an important pool for intracellular sulfation. A substantial fraction of newly synthesized sulfate esters promptly enters the extracellular space for excretion in the urine. 相似文献

Several studies have shown the presence of fibroblast-like cells in the stromal fraction of different tissues with a high
proliferative and differentiation potential. Platelet alpha granules contain growth factors released into the environment
during activation. The effects of different supplements for culture medium (human serum, bovine serum and platelet lysate)
on cultured human fibroblast-like cells from bone marrow, adipose tissue, trabecular bone and dental pulp have been compared.
Expression of typical stromal and hematopoietic markers was analyzed and proliferative rates were determined. Flow cytofluorometry
showed a homogenous pattern in serial-passaged cells, with a high level of stromal cell-associated markers (CD13, CD90, CD105).
The presence of platelet lysate in culture media increased the number of cell generations obtained regardless of cell source.
This effect was serum-dependent. Cell-based therapies can benefit by the use of products from human origin for “ex vivo” expansion
of multipotent cells. 相似文献

Defatted and decaseinated human milk was concentrated and was fractionated on a preparative DEAE cellulose column. Elution with various concentrations of sodium chloride in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0, 0.01 M) resulted in fractions that were rich in either secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) (0.1 M Nad) or free secretory component (SC) (0.05 M NaCl). The fractions, which were eluted with 0.10 M NaCl from the preparative column, were further fractionated on a G-200 Sephadex column. Repeated fractionation on this column resulted in a single purified fraction, which contained very high SIgA activity and showed immunological cross-reaction with both SC and serum IgA. Additional studies indicated that this fraction was homogeneous as shown by immunoprecipitin and disc gel electrophoresis. Injection of this purified SIgA into rabbits resulted in the production of monospecific antiscil. 相似文献

The expansion of Nest-positive nerve stem cells fraction in the culture of human fetal brain was investigated in this work. Our results demonstrated the valuable increase of the percentage of Nest-positive cells from 44.1 to 62.5% of cell population at the response to the presence of EGF and bFGF and using the heat-inactivated serum in the culture medium. Further differentiation in culture tended to decrease of Nest-positive cell amount. Stimulation of the neuroinduction with retinoic acid resulted in decrease of the percentage of these cells in the population to 14.1%. This data allowed obtaining the nerve cell population more effective for using as a graft material in cell therapy. 相似文献

Abstract. Objectives : Angiogenesis, the process of formation of blood vessels, is essential for many physiological as well as pathological processes. It has been shown that human adipose tissue contains a population of non-characterized cells, called stromal-vascular fraction (SVF) cells, which are able to differentiate into several lineages. The aim of this study was to determine conditions for promoting differentiation of human adipose tissue progenitors towards endothelial cells, as well as to show that SVF cells cooperate with differentiated endothelium in capillary network formation. Materials and methods : Stromal vascular fraction cells were isolated according to modified Hauner's method and after adaptation they were cultured in pro-angiogenic or pro-adipogenic medium. Cells were characterized by presence of surface antigens by flow cytometry, and by expression of genes characteristic for endothelial cells or for adipocytes, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. A number of tests were performed to verify their differentiation. Results : Differentiation of human SVF cells towards endothelium was stimulated by the presence of serum and absence of adipogenic factors, documented by the pattern of gene expression as well as different functional in vitro assays. SVF cells were found to work together with human umbilical vein endothelial cells to form capillary networks. Conclusions : Here, we show that differentiation of SVF cells to endothelial cells or adipocyte-like cells depended on the medium used. Our work provides a clear model for analysing the differentiation capacity of SVF cells. 相似文献

Nanoparticle (NP) exposure to biological fluids in the body results in protein binding to the NP surface, which forms a protein coating that is called the “protein corona”. To simplify studies of protein–NP interactions and protein corona formation, NPs are incubated with biological solutions, such as human serum or human plasma, and the effects of this exposure are characterized in vitro. Yet, how NP exposure to these two different biological milieus affects protein corona composition and cell response has not been investigated. Here, we explore the differences between the protein coronas that form when NPs are incubated in human serum versus human plasma. NP characterization indicated that NPs that were exposed to human plasma had higher amounts of proteins bound to their surfaces, and were slightly larger in size than those exposed to human serum. In addition, significant differences in corona composition were also detected with gel electrophoresis and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry, where a higher fraction of coagulation proteins and complement factors were found on the plasma-exposed NPs. Flow cytometry and confocal microscopy showed that the uptake of plasma-exposed NPs was higher than that of serum-exposed NPs by RAW 264.7 macrophage immune cells, but not by NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells. This difference is likely due to the elevated amounts of opsonins, such as fibrinogen, on the surfaces of the NPs exposed to plasma, but not serum, because these components trigger NP internalization by immune cells. As the human plasma better mimics the composition of the in vivo environment, namely blood, in vitro protein corona studies should employ human plasma, and not human serum, so the biological phenomena that is observed is more similar to that occurring in vivo. 相似文献

Incubation of precipitable immune complexes (IC) with fresh human serum or guinea pig serum resulted in solubilization of IC. When packed human E were added to human serum or guinea pig serum, binding of IC to the E occurred and IC solubilization was significantly inhibited. By contrast, SRBC did not bind IC nor inhibit IC solubilization. Because IC binding to human E is mediated by CR type 1 (CR1) we evaluated whether CR1 was responsible for the inhibition of IC solubilization. Human E were treated with trypsin or anti-CR1 mAb. Both treatments abrogated IC binding to human E but did not affect the ability of the human E to inhibit IC solubilization. Human E inhibited C activation by IC. Thus, incubation of IC in human serum caused significant activation of C3 and C5, but not C4. However, when IC were incubated in whole blood or with isolated human E and serum, C3 activation by IC was inhibited significantly. In addition, we demonstrated that the C3b generated during C activation by IC deposited on both IC and human E. Thus, human E may compete for nascent C3 generated during C activation by IC. In conclusion, human E inhibit both complement-mediated solubilization of IC and C activation by IC. 相似文献

A novel bioactive lipid, cyclic phosphatidic acid (cPA), was identified in lipids bound to human serum albumin. A cPA fraction was extracted and purified from human serum albumin by use of a combination of preparative TLC and HPLC. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry of the purified fraction showed molecular ions corresponding to cPA, which was composed of some different fatty acid species. The most abundant component was identified as palmitoyl-cPA by tandem mass spectrometry using collision-induced dissociation. These data have established that cPA is a naturally occurring lipid bound to human serum albumin. 相似文献

To examine the potential role of immune-network interactions in the production of lupus autoantibodies, normal NZW rabbit antibody responses were analyzed after immunization with one of the following Ig preparations: human lupus serum anti-dsDNA antibodies, human lupus serum anti-ssDNA antibodies, a mixture of human lupus serum anti-dsDNA and anti-ssDNA antibodies, the MRL-lpr/lpr anti-dsDNA mAb H241, and the MRL-lpr/lpr anti-ssDNA mAb H130. Four of five rabbits produced Ig typical of lupus autoantibodies: individual rabbit Ig cross-reacted with multiple autoantigens including nucleic acids, cardiolipin, SmRNP, glomerular extract, laminin, and exogenous Ag. Rabbit anti-Id against human anti-dsDNA antibodies were highly specific for dsDNA. Notably, in each serum the autoantibody activity was confined to the anti-Id Ig fraction. A similar spontaneously occurring Id-anti-Id interaction was also found between anti-ssDNA and anti-dsDNA antibodies isolated from an individual lupus patient. These results indicate that lupus autoantibodies which share Ag binding properties with pathogenic Ig, including both cross-reactive and anti-dsDNA antibodies, can induce the production of Ig with similar autoantigen binding properties through immune-network interactions. This phenomenon, if unregulated, could lead to the amplification of pathogenic autoantibody production in individuals with systemic lupus. 相似文献

In vitro treatment of mouse peritoneal cells (mixture of adherent and nonadherent cells) with lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-Pc) in 10% FCS supplemented medium RPMI 1640 results in a greatly enhanced FcR-mediated phagocytic activity of macrophages. This macrophage-activation process requires a serum factor. Fractionation studies with starch block electrophoresis of fetal calf and human sera revealed that alpha 2-globulin fraction contains a serum factor essential for macrophage activation. To identify the serum factor, human serum was precipitated with 50% saturated ammonium sulfate and fractionated on a Sephadex G-100 column. A protein fraction with a lower m.w. than albumin had the capacity to support activation of macrophages. The active serum factor in this protein fraction was analyzed by immunoabsorption by using rabbit antisera against three major proteins of human alpha 2-globulin. This active serum factor was shown to be a vitamin D3-binding protein (group specific component, Gc). By using a monoclonal anti-Gc-absorbed active column fraction of human serum, we observed no enhanced macrophage activation over the results with serum fraction-free cultivation of lyso-Pc-treated peritoneal cells. Cultivation of lyso-Pc-treated peritoneal cells in a medium containing a low concentration of purified human Gc protein (0.1 to 2.6 ng/ml) produced a greatly enhanced phagocytic activity of macrophages. When purified human Gc protein was used in a serum-free medium for stepwise cultivation of lyso-Pc-treated nonadherent cell types, a macrophage-activating factor was efficiently generated. Therefore, it is concluded that the vitamin D3-binding protein is the essential serum factor for the lyso-Pc-primed activation of macrophages. 相似文献

Human plasma proteins were subjected to affinity chromatography with (–)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg)-agarose, and the bound proteins were examined by sodium dodecylsulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A molecular weight evaluation of the protein bands suggested the presence of three proteins, fibronectin, fibrinogen, and a 75-kDa protein. When human serum was used, the 75-kDa protein dominated the bound fraction. The determination of the partial amino acid sequence of a peptide derived by endopeptidase digestion of this fraction suggested the 75-kDa protein to be histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG). The presence of these proteins in the bound fraction was confirmed by the immunoblotting method. Affinity chromatography of the individual proteins indicated that fibrinogen and HRG had direct affinity for EGCg. Dot binding assays demonstrated the interaction of EGCg with these proteins. The method also showed that only gallate-containing catechins were bound by these proteins. These data suggest that when EGCg is absorbed in the body through the digestive system, it may interact with these proteins in blood plasma. 相似文献
