A novel human B-lymphotropic virus (HBLV) was isolated from the peripheral blood leukocytes of six individuals: two HTLV-III seropositive patients United States (one with AIDS-related lymphoma and one dermatopathic lymphadenopathy), three seronegative angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, immunoblastic lymphoma), patient acute lymphocytic leukemia Jamaica. All isolates were closely related by antigenic analysis, sera all virus-positive reacted immunologically each...

Experiential learning is an effective educational tool across many academic disciplines, including career development. Nine different institutions bridged by the National Institutes of Health Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training Consortium compared their experiments rethinking and expanding training predoctoral graduate students postdoctoral scholars biomedical sciences to include experiential opportunities. In this article, we provide overview four types approaches our offer...

The present study examines racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in career self-efficacy amongst 6077 US citizens naturalized graduate postdoctoral trainees. Respondents from biomedical fields completed surveys administered by the National Institutes of Health Broadening Experiences Scientific Training (NIH BEST) programs across 17 institutional sites. Graduate demographic survey response data were examined to evaluate impact intersectional identities on trainee self-efficacy. hypothesized...

Abstract Retinoic acid‐induced expression of the CD38 ectoenzyme receptor in HL‐60 human myeloblastic leukemia cells is regulated by RARα and RXR, enhanced or prevented cell differentiation depending on level per cell. activation caused expression, as did RXR but not effectively. Inhibition MAPK signaling through MEK inhibition diminished induced both RARs RXRs. Expression retinoic myeloid G0 cycle arrest, at higher levels, was blocked acid a loss viability instead. In case...

Abstract The dependence of induced myelomonocytic cell differentiation, and regulation the RB tumor suppressor gene during this process, on c‐fms product, CSF‐1 lymphokine receptor, was determined in HL‐60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. Adding a monoclonal antibody with specificity for product to cells treated various inducers or macrophage including retinoic acid 1,25‐dihydroxy vitamin D3, inhibited rate differentiation. During period inducer treatment usually preceding onset longer periods...

Radicicol, an inhibitor of src or src-like kinases, causes hypophosphorylation and down-regulation the RB retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein in HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells. Both these changes typically are associated with myeloid monocytic differentiation cells induced by retinoic acid 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3. When added either inducer, radicicol caused to be accelerated. By itself a transient inhibition G1 S transit, but did not cause phenotypic conversion. The...

Chimpanzee secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) was separated into two fractions by chromatography using the terminal galactose‐binding lectin Jacalin. The SIgA fraction bound Jacalin cleaved Haemophilus influenzae IgA1 protease, whereas nonbinding not cleaved. It is proposed that these represent and IgA2 subclasses because presence or absence of galactose‐terminal oligosaccharides (Jacalin binding) susceptibility resistance to protease are properties define human subclasses.
