Abstract A new monoclonal antibody (mAb), named 3.9, is described that specific for the p150,95 molecule, a member of LFA‐1, CR3, family human leukocyte differentiation antigens. The LFA‐1 molecule participates in variety T cell interactions and CR3 receptor complement component iC3b, but little known about molecule. Here we show expression confined to myeloid cells. mAb 3.9 reacts variably with neutrophils, more strongly monocytes most expressed on tissue macrophages. Using this others,...

IL-1 is a cytokine with wide variety of effects on cells involved in inflammatory and immune responses, hemopoiesis, bone formation. Many cell types have been shown to produce vitro; however, very little known about the source role vivo. By using situ hybridization, we examined tissue distribution containing mRNA normal C57BL/6 mice. The results show that many organs contain mRNA-positive cells, but highest frequency was found lymphoid organs. localization these suggest mRNA-producing are...

TNF-alpha is a small peptide cytokine produced primarily by activated macrophages. One of the many biologic activities TNF killing diverse types tumor cells. We considered possibility that was mediated itself at an intracellular site, subsequent to receptor-mediated endocytosis. To test this hypothesis, we microinjected into various murine normal cells and cell lines, some which were killed given usual extracellular route, others not. Cytotoxic effects observed in several 2 4 h after...

<i>Background:</i> Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory characterized by progressive airflow limitation and significant extrapulmonary (systemic) effects that lead to co-morbid conditions, though the pathomechanism of COPD largely undetermined. Alveolar macrophages (AM) derived from peripheral monocytes (MO) appear play key role in initiating and/or sustaining progression. <i>Objectives:</i> To identify disease- cell type-specific...

We have analyzed the involvement of IL 1 in a cellular interaction during which murine B cells serve as antigen-presenting for T cell clone (D10.G4.1). This was chosen study because it is highly dependent on exogenous concanavalin A (or anti-receptor antibody)-induced proliferation. observed that presented either self I-Ak plus nominal antigen or allogeneic I-Ab, and consequently induced proliferation this without any requirement 1. After an overnight co-culture with allogenic cells, we...

A series of sequential events orchestrates cell growth and division, set in motion by cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks). In the "qualitative model" for Cdk control, order is achieved cycle stage-specific cyclins. However, single-cyclin cells retain order. an alternative "quantitative model," increasing activity triggers substrate phosphorylation at thresholds. Here, we test a key prediction from quantitative model: best substrates should be first to phosphorylated. Phosphoproteome analysis...

Thymic involution is thought to be an important factor of age related immunodeficiency. Understanding the molecular mechanisms human thymic senescence may lead discovery novel therapeutic approaches aimed at reestablishment central and peripheral T cell repertoire. As initial approach, here we report that decline FOXN1 transcription correlates with age, while other genes, DLL1, DLL4 WNT4, essential for thymopoiesis, are constitutively transcribed. Using a epithelial line (hTEC), show...
