Demonstration of lymphocyte surface lectins that recognize sulphated polysaccharides.
Cholate extracts of murine lymphocytes were shown to contain haemagglutinating activity against autologous erythrocytes. The species specificity and sugar inhibition pattern of the haemagglutinin closely paralleled the specificity of autorosetting, an interaction that had been shown previously to involve the recognition by lymphocytes of carbohydrate structures on autologous erythrocytes. The p...
متن کاملHuman Small Lymphocyte Nuclear Membranes
This study was undertaken to localize the enzyme cyclic 3’,5’-adenosine monophosphatase in unstimulated human small lymphocytes. Cyclic AMP may be of importance in mediating lymphocyte stimulation, hence localization of the enzyme that is thought to modulate its intracellular concentration, cyclic AMPase, may point to the site of action of cyclic AMP in the cell. The histochemical technique
متن کاملStudies using lectins to determine mineral interactions with cellular membranes.
Chrysotile asbestos interacts with mucin-secreting cells of tracheal organ cultures, causing an increase in secretion of mucin into the culture medium. This response occurs in the absence of obvious morphologic damage to tracheal epithelial cells. We speculated that asbestos-induced hypersecretion was regulated by the interaction of fibers with specific carbohydrate residues on the cell surface...
متن کاملBinding of plant lectins to mycoplasma cells and membranes.
The binding of iodinated wheat germ agglutinin, Ricinus communis agglutinin, and concanavalin A to mycoplasma cells and membranes was examined. All mycoplasmas studied specifically bound concanavalin A or R. communis agglutinin and, to a lesser degree, wheat germ agglutinin. The binding of lectins to whole cells was similar to that recorded for membranes, suggesting that significant binding on...
متن کاملNormal lymphocyte responsiveness to lectins but impaired sensitivity to in vitro glucocorticoids in major depression.
The mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferative response and its sensitivity to in vitro (10(-10)-10(-6) M) dexamethasone (DEX) administration were investigated in 12 severely depressed patients and 13 healthy controls. Patients with major depressive disorder exhibited no impairment of lectin-induced blastogenesis, but a significantly weaker suppressive effect of in vitro DEX on 1.0 microgram/ml p...
