Effector-target conjugates, formed by coincubation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells with either K562 or Daudi cells, were separated from single cells by Percoll sedimentation. The occurrence of various CD molecules (CD3, CD56, CD57, CD16, /-TCR) was compared in both fractions. Only LAK cells expressing the / T cell receptor (TCR) were found in a significantly increased percentage in fractions containing conjugates indicating that /-TCR+ LAK cells were preferably bound to target cells at the time of separation. In order to determine whether /-TCR+ LAK cells also show a preferred killing activity against the targets, cultures enriched with or depleted of /-TCR+ cells were established. Against K562 cells, /-TCR+-enriched cultures showed a greatly reduced killing activity compared to LAK bulk cultures or cultures depleted of /-TCR+ cells. Using Daudi cells as targets the enriched fraction revealed a slightly increased killing activity compared to bulk cultures or depleted fractions. Preincubation of /-TCR+ LAK cells with anti-/ or anti-CD3 mAb resulted in a distinct increase of the killing activity against K562 cells, but in only a slightly enhanced activity against Daudi cells. It is postulated that /-TCR+ LAK cells use the same adhesion mechanism for both targets but that only Daudi cells express a specific ligand for the /-TCR. Occupation of the /-TCR/CD3 complex by mAb, however, seems to substitute for the absent epitope on K562 cells by eliciting stimulatory signals in /-TCR+ LAK cells which, in combination with the binding stimulus, trigger cytolytic activity.This work was supported by the Hartmann-Müller Foundation, Zürich 相似文献

We investigated the effect of cell adhesion on cellgrowth and productivity of recombinant protein inChinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Cells cultured innormal tissue culture dishes attached to the dishsurfaces and grew as a monolayer, while cells culturedin non-treated dishes proliferated in suspension assingle cells without adhering to the dish surfaces. On an agarose-coated dish surface, cell aggregatesformed without attaching to the dish. Growth rates inboth suspension cultures were slightly lower thanthose in monolayer culture. Cell cycle analysisindicated that the duration of the G1 phase insuspension cultures was longer than that in monolayerculture, suggesting that attachment to the substratummainly affected the transition from the G1 to theS phase. Consistent with this, CDK inhibitor p27,that inhibits the G1S transition, was induced inthe cells cultured in suspension.To assess the productivity of recombinant proteins,CHO cells were transfected with a plasmid containingmurine interferon (mIFN-) under thecontrol of the cytomegalovirus promoter. Insuspension culture, mIFN- productivity wasslightly lower than that in the monolayer culture. When protein kinase C was activated by phorbol ester,mIFN- production was enhanced in both themonolayer and suspension cultures. However, theproductivity in the suspension culture was lower thanthat in the adherent culture even in the presence ofhigh concentrations of phorbol ester. These resultssuggested that cell adhesion to the substratum affectsvarious features of CHO cells. 相似文献

Conclusion Even a cursory look at the ethnographic literature on other Northwest Coast societies reveals some striking similarities with the Tlingit way of conceptualizing aristocrats as special persons. Thus the Kwakiutl referred to their chiefs as real or complete people, who were heavier than commoners. The Coast Tsimshian called their highest aristocrats real or ripe persons, in contrast to the low-ranking ones, who were described as unhealed or green. The Coast Tshimshian also referred to their chiefs as strong, heavy, and solid like a rock. The neighboring Gitksan contrasted the chiefs, described as people who were good and clean and stayed put, with the commoners, who were said to be dirty, ignorant, and always moving around. Because spirits of the dead liked to return to persons who were clean and showed respect by giving away wealth and feasts, there was considerable moral and practical pressure on the aristocrats to remain pure, train knowledgeable and clean heirs, and continue potlatching. Finally, among the Haida, rank was tied to a wider system of symbolic classification, associating aspects of food, space, clothing, ritual pollution and the ethic of industry with attributes of seniority.While some of the symbolic associations of aristocratic status are culture specific, others are present in several, if not all, of the NWC cultures. What we need is a comparative symbology of aristocratic status, which would combine the reanalysis of the existing ethnographic data with the introduction of some new materials that can still be obtained in the field. Such work would be the best tribute to Irving Goldman himself and to our common illustrious ancestors—Franz Boas and Marcel Mauss.Sergei Kan is Professor of Anthropology at Dartmouth College. 相似文献

Summary Leukocyte cultures were set up with X-irradiated whole blood (200 R). Cells starting with their DNA synthesis between 25 and 35 h after culture initiation (early replicating cells) were pulse-labeled with tritiated thymidine ([3H] TdR). Mitoses were collected with colcemid in adjacent intervals from 36 up to 72 h after culture initiation. At fixation times of 50, 56, 62, and 72 h enough mitoses for a determination of the frequencies of chromosomal aberrations (dicentric and ring chromosomes) were found. After that the preparations were processed for autoradiography. All mitoses analyzed for chromosomal aberrations were re-analyzed for labeling, and the frequencies of chromosomal aberrations in labeled (=early replicating cells) and unlabeled (=late replicating cells) mitoses were compared. At all fixation times, higher frequencies of dicentric chromosomes were found in labeled as compared to unlabeled mitoses, indicating a higher sensitivity of early replicating cells to X-irradiation in the G0 stage of the cell cycle. 相似文献

In vitro protocols for plantlet regeneration and medium-term genotype conservation of eight wild species of Curcuma have been optimized. Both the phenomena were genotype-dependent and influenced significantly by type and concentration of cytokinins used. In general, benzyladenine (BA) was found superior to other cytokinins tested for plantlet regeneration and ,-dimethylallylaminopurine (2iP) for conservation. Number of shoots per culture ranged from 1.3 to 7.2 and conservation period from 264 to 379 d. In 30-d-old cultures, highest frequency of shoot regeneration could be obtained in C. malabarica (7.2 shoots per culture) on MS + 11.4 M zeatin. Curcuma sp. (unidentified wild species) could be conserved for maximum period (379 d) on MS + 24.6 M 2iP followed by C. aromatica (363 d) on MS + 22.8 M zeatin. The tissue culture-raised plantlets were morphologically similar to their parents. The in vitro-conserved plants multiplied rapidly in tissue cultures and produced normal rhizomes upon transfer to soil in net house. 相似文献

The effect of serum type and concentration on recombinant protein expression in vaccinia virus infected HeLa S3 cells was studied in both static and suspension culture. A model heterologous protein,-galactosidase (-gal), was used. Calf and horse sera in the range of 0.5–10%(v/v) were investigated. In static culture, the calf serum concentration did not show any significant influence on the -gal production which was almost completed within 24h postinfection (pi). Higher horse serum concentration, on the other hand, resulted in higher -gal concentration which continued to increase until 48 h pi. Total -gal concentrations in 0.5% calf serum at 24 h pi and 10% horse serum at 48 h pi were 2.2±0.7 and 2.2±0.1 IU/ml, respectively. In suspension culture, both sera showed their respective effects on the -gal production similar to those observed in static culture, indicating that the cultivation method had little influence on -gal production. Accordingly, the use of 0.5% calf serum after virus infection in recommended for economical -gal production. 相似文献

The purpose of the paper was to study the morphological effects of retinoids on non-transformed cells such as thyrocytes. The formation of follicles was studied in primary cultures of porcine thyrocytes by adding retinol and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) to cells grown in the absence of TSH to form monolayers. The proliferation and apoptosis of thyrocytes were studied in cells both grown adherent to plastic surfaces and in suspension. Standard medium with traces of retinol and the same medium without retinol were used. Retinol alone was added to thyrocytes grown in the absence of TSH (TSH culture) or both retinol and TSH were added to cultures after stimulation with TSH (TSH culture). The concentration was varied from 0 to 80M for retinol and from 0 to 13M for retinoic acid. At a concentration of 13M, the effect of retinol was similar to that of retinoic acid. At concentrations higher than 40M, retinol reduced the formation of thyroglobulin-immunoreactive follicles, whereas up to 13M retinoic acid had no obvious influence on follicle formation. The retinoids induced apoptosis under all experimental conditions. In contrast, a significant decrease in proliferation and in the formation of thyroglobulin-immunoreactive follicles was observed only in adherent cells cultured in customary medium. The decrease in functional follicles after treatment with retinol suggests a de-differentiating effect of retinoids on normal thyrocytes and is in contrast with the differentiating effect of retinoids observed in cancer cells. 相似文献

Rat hepatocytes prepared by collagenase digestion or ED TA dissociation were examined in culture for comparison of culture stability and morphology, and retention of selected adult rat liver characteristics. Cells prepared by EDTA perfusion followed by Percoll cen trifugation were deemed to form confluent monolayer cultures more rapidly and monolayers remained intact for up to 21 days without signs of nonparenchymal cell growth or loss of primary hepatocyte appearance. The spectrally determined cytochrome P-450 content remained constant through eight days in culture. Collagenase prepared cells contained an identical amount of P-450 but within 72 hr lost greater than 80% of the spectrally detectable P-450. Glutathione (GSH) content was higher in the EDTA-prepared hepatocytes and remained constant with only a modest effect of transferrin and selenium (TI S) supplementation, while GSH levels in collagenaseprepared cells increased, thereafter decreased with time in culture and was dependent on TI S supplementation. Cells prepared with ED TA also displayed an increase in GSH efflux rate in response to chronic GSH depletion by ethacrynic acid. -Cystathionase (CNase) activity was retained at initial levels in ED TAprepared hepatocytes supplemented with TI S and declined only about 25% in unsupplemented cells. Collagenase-prepared cells lost 75% of CNase activity by 72 hr. The established marker of hepatocyte neoplastic transformation, -glutamyl trans-peptidase (GGT), increased rapidly in collagenase-prepared cells. The accumulation of GGT was slowed by T/S supplementation. GGT activity did not increase in EDTA-prepared hepatocytes. Evaluation of morphological and biochemical criteria suggest that hepatocytes prepared without collagenase present superior model systems for the study of biochemical events through more extended culture times.Abbreviations CNase

Summary In plant cell suspension cultures sensitive to the herbicide amiprophos-methyl (APM), 1 to 3 M APM completely depolymerized both cortical and mitotic microtubule (MT) arrays in 1 hour. In comparison, a 2 hour application of 3 mM colchicine had no effect on MT arrays. Recovery from APM treatment occurred as early as 5 minutes after removal of APM. Short, cortical MTs were visible in 3 hours and complete MT arrays were found within 22 hours after drug removal.Sensitivity to APM-induced MT depolymerization varied according to species but was increased or decreased by varying the mitotic rate in cultures. The results indicated APM sensitivity was related to lowered stability of MT arrays in rapidly cycling cells. APM treatment may help distinguish stabilized cortical MTs in elongating cells and nonstabilized cortical MTs in rapidly dividing cells.Abbreviations MT

Summary We applied qualitative cytochemical procedures to investigate and compare the distribution of 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSDH) in pro- and diestrus ovaries of sexually mature marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) using dehydroepiandrosterone or etiocholane-3-ol-17-one as the substrate. During proestrus dehydroepiandrosterone dehydrogenase (3-5-HSDH) activity was found in the theca of tertiary follicles and in atretic granulosa cells. In granulosa cells at advanced stages of degeneration, HSDH activity was distinctly higher than in thecal cells. The activity of etiocholane-3-ol-17-one dehydrogenase (3-5-HSDH) exhibited a gradient in preovulatory follicles, ranging from high levels in granulosa cells adjacent to the basement membrane to low levels in cells bordering on the antrum and in cumulus oophorus cells. During diestrus 3-5-HSDH activity was only detected in the corpora lutea; the level of 3-5-HSDH activity was unchanged in the theca of tertiary follicles and high in the cells of the corpora lutea. HSDH activity was no longer detectable in atretic granulosa cells using either dehydroepiandrosterone or etiocholane-3-ol-17-one as the substrate. comparison of the distribution of HSDH during proestrus and diestrus revealed that steroidogenesis in marmoset ovaries occurs in follicular elements during diestrus and almost exclusively in the corpora lutea during diestrus. From this phase-dependent localization, it is possible to detemine the stage of the estrous cycle. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the localization of HSDH is dependent on the conformational structure of the substrate used. 相似文献

Regeneration potential was restored in 2-year-old cultures of proliferating shoots of Digitalis purpurea L. under the influence of 14.43 M gibberellic acid, while cytokinins were ineffective. The retrieved shoots grew normally in a modified Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 0.98 M indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 27.1 M adenine sulphate and rooted 100% in the presence of 0.49 M IBA alone.NBRI Research Publication No. 415 (N.S.) 相似文献

A detailed investigation of the hydrodynamic and aggregation behaviors has been made on the -crystallins of bovine lens. Results from this study indicated that H (high-molecular-weight -crystallin) and L (low-molecular-weight -crystallin) exhibited considerable heterogeneity in their native structures and subunit polypeptides. Low-speed sedimentation equilibrium showed a heterogeneous paucidisperse system in each -crystallin fraction. Viscosity and circular dichroism studies pointed to a compact and globular shape and the presence of -sheet and -turns in these crystallins. Dissociation of H by urea and guanidinium HCl followed by reassociation during gel-filtration chromatography produced an elution pattern with two fractions corresponding to L crystallin and high-molecular-weight aggregates without the formation of native H. By contrast, under similar treatment, about 60% L reassociated into the correct native structure and the rest into high-molecular-weight fractions. Amino acid analyses of H and L and their corresponding subunit polypeptides demonstrated the close similarity of these crystallins. Trace element analyses indicated that both Ca and Mg are present in H and L crystallins and may be involved in maintaining the native quarternary structures of these proteins. 相似文献

Summary Muscle spindles were traced in serial transverse sections of cat tenuissimus muscles. Myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase staining reaction was used to identify nuclear bag1, nuclear bag2 and nuclear chain intrafusal muscle fibers. Typical chain fibers and long chain fibers were distinguished, the latter extending for more than 1,000 m beyond the termination of the spindle capsule. Simple rim and more elaborate plate deposits were demonstrated histochemically along the poles of the typical chain fibers in staining for cholinesterases. They were considered to correspond, respectively, to the trail and plate motor nerve terminals. Most long chain fibers and the majority of nuclear bag fibers had their motor innervation limited to plate-type endings. In addition, faint diffuse cholinesterase staining occurred along the spindle capsule and the surface of some intrafusal fibers. These histochemical observations are discussed with regard to the current concepts concerning the morphological and functional organization of the motor innervation of the cat muscle spindle. 相似文献

To determine -galactosidase activity expressed in animal cells, the cells are often disrupted. In this study, four different cell disruption methods (freezing and thawing, sonication, homogenization, and lysis buffer) were compared with regard to their efficiency in the determination of -galactosidase activity. Further, the cell lines' susceptibility to cell disruption methods was investigated by employing three different animal cell lines (HeLa HH, Vero, and HeLa S3 cells) infected by recombinant vaccinia virus (vSC8) expressing -galactosidase gene. Regardless of cell lines used, three different cell disruption methods except homogenization did not show any significant difference in the final -galactosidase activity recovered from the cells. Homogenization was inefficient, and required up to 300 strokes to recover -galactosidase activity fully from HeLa S3 cells. The use of lysis buffer was recommendable because of its convenience. However, if there was no need for an immediate assay, it was convenient to keep cell samples collected during the culture frozen at –20°C until the assay. Since thawing of the cells was enough to recover the -galactosidase, further treatment on the frozen cells after thawing was unnecessary. 相似文献

Summary Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) of paediatric tumours obtained from 37 lesions of different histo-type (12 osteosarcomas, 5 Wilms' tumours, 7 soft-tissue sarcomas, 5 neuroblastomas and 8 miscellaneous) were studied to establish their potential for therapy. Fresh isolated TIL were cultured for the first 2 weeks with low doses of interleukin-2 (IL-2) (20 Cetus U/ml) to select for tumour-specific lymphocytes potentially present in the neoplastic lesion, followed by culture with high doses of IL-2 (1000 Cetus U/ml) to achieve TIL expansion. TIL were grown with more than 10-fold expansion in only 9 cases (mean expansion: 58-fold, range 13.5–346). In 17 cases no viable cells were obtained. After 30 days of culture with IL-2 the proliferative ability of TIL declined sharply in the majority of cases and TIL became refractory to any further stimulus, including addition of IL-4, tumour necrosis factor (TNF) or interferon , and activation with OKT3 in solid phase. In 20 out of 37 cases TIL were available for phenotypic and functional analysis. TIL after long-term culture were predominantly CD3+ but 2 cases of osteosarcoma showed a predominance of CD3+TcR / cells. The CD4/CD8 ratio was more than 1 in 10 cases, without correlation with tumour histology, site of lesion or TIL growth. The number of CD16+ and CD25+ lymphocytes decreased progressively during culture, the latter concomitantly with a reduction of TIL growth rate. The lytic pattern of TIL against allogeneic and autologous tumour (Auto-Tu) cells was variable, but specific lysis of Auto-Tu was seen in only one case (Wilms' tumour) after culture with TNF and irradiated Auto-Tu cells. The immunohistochemical analysis of tumour lesions revealed a limited lymphocyte infiltrate, a low expression of histocompatibility leukocyte antigens (HLA) class I and of the adhesion molecules ICAM1, LFA3, and a significant production of transforming growth factor (TGF). These data indicate that TIL obtained from paediatric patients are difficult to expand at levels required for immunotherapy and lack a significant number of tumour-specific T lymphocytes. A low expression of immunomodulatory molecules on tumour cells or the production of suppressive factors may prevent activation and expansion of TIL in paediatric tumours. 相似文献

Ultrastructure and early development of the pore plate sensilla ofGymnomerus laevipes (Shuckard) (Vespoidea,Eumenidae) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary The oval pore plates (approx. 17 m long) are separated from the antennal cuticle by a furrow, the inner wall of which is flexible. The thin perforated plates are strengthened by an encircling and a middle ledge, the latter of which branches into about 100 almost parallel rims. Each pore plate is innervated by about 20 sense cells. The dendrites fork into numerous branches occupying the outer receptor lymph cavity below the perforated plate. Each pore plate is associated with one thecogen cell, two trichogen cells, one tormogen cell and one envelope cell 4. A so-called additional cell surrounds the sensillum in the imaginal stage. The envelope cells in the later of the two pupal stages examined, have reached an arrangement which immediately precedes the secretion of the cuticulin layer. The surface of the duplicate trichogen cells is almost equal in area to the completed perforated plate. A dendritic sheath, entirely reduced in the imago, protrudes into the exuvial space, where it encloses a single dendrite.In the younger pupal stage the Sensillenanlage forms a crater, whereby envelope cell 4 overtops the other envelope cells. The distal ends of the trichogen cells are divided into several appendages that form the bottom of the crater. 相似文献

Summary A cell line obtained from isolated seminiferous tubules of adult rat testis has been studied in vitro over a period of 35 days.Light and electron microscopic studies performed from hour 2 to the end of culture have shown the presence of a monomorphic cell population. After 5–6 days of culture the cells formed a monolayer. The cytoplasm of the cells contained numerous lipid bodies and produced numerous projections. The nucleus showed several indentations and one or more nucleoli. From the 9th to the 15th day of culture the cells developed a large amount of endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and aggregates of electron dense granules. From the 20th to 40th day the cell cultures progressively degenerated.Immunochemical analysis of the culture medium revealed the presence of estradiol-17, which reached its maximum production rate from the 8th day to the 18th day of culture. Corresponding to cell involution estradiol concentration underwent a rapid decrease.On the basis of morphological and biochemical data the cells could be considered Sertoli cells.This work was supported by Grants n. 74.00155.04 and n. 75.01224.04 from the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (C.N.R.), Rome, Italy, and by Istituto di Ricerca F.

UDP-GlcNAc: Man3R 2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-T I; EC 2.4.1.101) is the key enzyme in the synthesis of complex and hybrid N-glycans. Rat liver GlcNAc-T I has been purified more than 25,000-fold (M
r 42,000). TheV
max for the pure enzyme with [Man6(Man3)Man6](Man3)Man4GlcNAc4GlcNAc-Asn as substrate was 4.6 µmol min–1 mg–1. Structural analysis of the enzyme product by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy proved that the enzyme adds anN-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residue in 1–2 linkage to the Man3Man-terminus of the substrate. Several derivatives of Man6(Man3)Man-R, a substrate for the enzyme, were synthesized and tested as substrates and inhibitors. An unsubstituted equatorial 4-hydroxyl and an axial 2-hydroxyl on the -linked mannose of Man6(Man3)Man-R are essential for GlcNAc-T I activity. Elimination of the 4-hydroxyl of the 3-linked mannose (Man) of the substrate increases theK
M 20-fold. Modifications on the 6-linked mannose or on the core structure affect mainly theK
M and to a lesser degree theV
max, e.g., substitutions of the Man6 residue at the 2-position by GlcNAc or at the 3- and 6-positions by mannose lower theK
M, whereas various other substitutions at the 3-position increase theK
M slightly. Man6(Man3)4-O-methyl-Man4GlcNAc was found to be a weak inhibitor of GlcNAc-T I.Abbreviations BSA

Summary This paper reports our experience of molecular screening and fetal diagnosis of -thalassemia in 457 at risk couples of Italian descent. Molecular screening was carried out by dot blot analysis on amplified DNA with oligonucleotide probes complementary to the eight most common mutations in Italians [39 (CT); 6 (-A); +-87 (CG); + IVSI nt 110 (GA); IVSI nt 1 (GA); + IVSI nt 6 (TC); IVSII nt 1 (GA); + IVSII nt 745 (CG)]. By using this approach, we have been able to define the mutation in 92.8% of cases. The rest (all but four) were defined by direct sequencing and this led to the detection of nine rare mutations [76 (-C); + IVSI nt 5 (GA); + IVSI nt 5 (GC); + IVSI -1 (cod 30) (GC); +-87 (CT), -290 bp del.; +-101 (CT)], and to the characterization of a novel mutation consisting of the deletion of the G at the invariant AG of the IVSII splice acceptor site of the -globin gene ( IVSII nt 850-1 bp). In the remaining four cases, the -globin gene showed entirely normal sequences and the -globin gene cluster was intact, as indicated by Southern blot analysis. Fetal diagnosis was carried out by dot blot analysis with the oligonucleotide probes defined in the parents. The procedure is simple and reliable, and the results can be obtained within 1 week of sampling. No misdiagnosis has so far occurred. The results indicate that fetal diagnosis of -thalassemia by DNA analysis may be obtained in practically all cases (even in a population showing marked heterogeneity of -thalassemia) by the combination of dot blot analysis for detecting common mutations, and direct sequencing for defining those that are uncommon. 相似文献

Summary Splenocytes cultured for 24 h in the presence of interleukin-2 (IL-2), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or both together expressed a cytotoxic acitvity against the YAC-1 lymphoma cell line and to a lesser extent against P815 mastocytoma cells. The association of IL-2 and LPS had an additive effect on induction of cytotoxicity. The IL-2-induced cytotoxic activity lasted for the whole of the culture; however, the addition of LPS at the initiation of the culture increased the cytotoxic activity during its the early phase, the increment being followed by a fall of lytic activity after 72 h of culture. Assessment of interferon (IFN) in the culture supernatants showed (a) a production of IFN by IL-2-supplemented cultures, (b) a more potent IFN production by cultures treated with IL-2 plus LPS (including 20% IFN/), (c) and that indomethacin (1µm) potentiated the effect of either IL-2 or LPS used alone but did not significantly increase the cytotoxic activity of cultures treated with IL-2 plus LPS (the one that produced a high level of IFN). When cultures were treated by an anti-IFN antibody we observed no change in the cytotoxic activity; however, in the presence of anti-IFN/ serum the cytotoxic activity of cultures treated with IL-2 plus LPS was inhibited after 24 h but stimulated after 72 h. When cultures treated with IL-2 plus LPS were supplemented with both indomethacin and anti-IFN/ the cytotoxic activity assessed after 72 h of culture was maintained at the same level as that of IL-2-treated cultures, hence the fall after 72 h of the cytotoxicity of cultures initiated in the presence of LPS alone was affected by both the immune serum and the cyclooxygenase inhibitor. Altogether these data show that when splenocytes are cultured for more than 72 h in the presence of IL-2 and LPS their cytotoxic activity decreases, and it is likely that this diminution is linked to the endogenous prodution of prostaglandin E2 and IFN/. 相似文献
