Activation of concanavalin A by Cd2+.

Activation of concanavalin A by Cd2+.

Binding of Cd2+ to concanavalin A and the subsequent induction of saccharide-binding activity has been studied at pH 6.5. We found that Cd2+ bound to both metal sites, S1 and S2, and that Cd2+ alone would induce sugar binding in concanavalin A. Using the fluorescent sugar 4-methylumbelliferyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside we determined that full saccharide-binding activity was obtained only when the ...

Activation of rat T lymphocytes by anti-CD2 monoclonal antibodies

Rat T cells and thymocytes were induced to proliferate by a pair of mAbs, MRC OX-54 and MRC OX-55, directed against rat CD2. Accessory cells were required but their role was not simply for crosslinking of the two mAbs, as neither MRC OX-54 nor MRC OX-55 alone, in the presence of a crosslinking second antibody, caused T cell mitogenesis. Nor could the phorbol ester PMA replace either antibody. T...

Coordinate regulation of T cell activation by CD2 and CD28.

T cell activation requires co-engagement of the TCR with accessory and costimulatory molecules. However, the exact mechanism of costimulatory function is unknown. Mice lacking CD2 or CD28 show only mild deficits, demonstrating that neither protein is essential for T cell activation. In this paper we have generated mice lacking both CD2 and CD28. T cells from the double-deficient mice have a pro...
