A Synthetic Glycolipid with B-cell Mitogenic Activity
A synthetic glycolipid, N-palmitoyl-D-glucosamine, (NPG) was found to be a potent B-cell mitogen, that stimulated spleen cells from nu/nu as well as from normal mice. The proper dispersion of the water insoluble preparation is critical for the elicitation of this mitogenic effect. Limulus lysate clotting assay indicated that the NPG preparation either contains only 0.001% endotoxin contaminatio...
متن کاملMitogenic analysis of murine B-cell heterogeneity
The B-cell mitogens lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Nocardia water-soluble mitogen (NWSM), and dextran sulfate (DxS) react with different subpopulations of B lymphocytes. Selective in vitro killing of cells responding to either LPS or NWSM has little effect on the in vitro response to the other mitogen, although the response to DxS is reduced in both cases. If, after selective in vitro killing, cells...
متن کاملSynthetic glycolipid modification of red blood cell membranes.
BACKGROUND Glycolipids have a natural ability to insert into red cell (RBC) membranes. Based on this concept the serology of RBCs modified with synthetic analogs of blood group glycolipids (KODE technology) was developed, which entails making synthetic glycolipid constructs engineered to have specific performance criteria. Such synthetic constructs can be made to express a potentially unlimited...
متن کاملStress and Atherogenesis: Smooth Muscle Cell Mitogenic Activity and other Biochemical Changes Associated with Sera of \"Stressed\" Subjects
The proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the arterial wall (VSMC) is considered to play a key role in the development of atherosclerosis. To investigate the possible contribution of "stress" (experimentally-induced) to this process, blood from healthy volunteers, ages 21 to 65, screened to exclude major risk factors for coronary heart disease, was assayed for mitogenic activity after the sub...
متن کاملMitogenic activity of staphylococcal peptidoglycan.
Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan displayed a marked dose-dependent mitogenic activity for mouse splenocytes and human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro, as measured by increased [3H]thymidine incorporation. Similarly it was mitogenic for athymic nude mouse spleen cells, whereas no blastogenic effect was observed in T cell-enriched and B cell-depleted mouse lymphocyte cultures. These data...
