Adoptive Transfer Of Polyclonal And Cloned Cytolytic T Lymphocytes (Ctl) Specific For Mouse Aids-Associated Tumors Is Effective In Preserving Ctl Responses: A Measure Of Protection Against Lp-Bm5 Retrovirus-Induced Immunodeficiency., William R. Green, Kathy A. Green, Karen M. Crassi Jul 1994

Adoptive Transfer Of Polyclonal And Cloned Cytolytic T Lymphocytes (Ctl) Specific For Mouse Aids-Associated Tumors Is Effective In Preserving Ctl Responses: A Measure Of Protection Against Lp-Bm5 Retrovirus-Induced Immunodeficiency., William R. Green, Kathy A. Green, Karen M. Crassi

Cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) can be raised against C57BL/6 B-cell lymphomas from mice with LP-BM5 murine leukemia virus-induced AIDS (MAIDS). Adoptive transfer of polyclonal anti-MAIDS tumor CTL or two CTL clones specific for the B6-1710 MAIDS lymphoma caused preservation of major histocompatibility complex-restricted and allogeneic CTL responses, which may be interpreted as indices of protection from LP-BM5 murine leukemia virus-induced immunodeficiency.


The Amino-Terminal Functions Of The Simian Virus 40 Large T Antigen Are Required To Overcome Wild-Type P53-Mediated Growth Arrest Of Cells., Robin S. Quartin, Charles N. Cole, James M. Pipas, Arnold J. Levine Mar 1994

The Amino-Terminal Functions Of The Simian Virus 40 Large T Antigen Are Required To Overcome Wild-Type P53-Mediated Growth Arrest Of Cells., Robin S. Quartin, Charles N. Cole, James M. Pipas, Arnold J. Levine

High levels of the p53 tumor suppressor protein can block progression through the cell cycle. A model system for the study of the mechanism of action of wild-type p53 is a cell line (T64-7B) derived from rat embryo fibroblasts transformed by activated ras and a temperature-sensitive murine p53 gene. At 37 to 39 degrees C, the murine p53 protein is in a mutant conformation and the cells actively divide, whereas at 32 degrees C, the protein has a wild-type conformation and the cells arrest in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Wild-type simian virus 40 large T antigen and …


Effect Of Iron Availability On Expression Of The Bradyrhizobium Japonicum Hema Gene., Karen M. Page, Erin Connolly, Mary Lou Guerinot Mar 1994

Effect Of Iron Availability On Expression Of The Bradyrhizobium Japonicum Hema Gene., Karen M. Page, Erin Connolly, Mary Lou Guerinot

Dartmouth Scholarship

Bradyrhizobium japonicum produces delta-aminolevulinic acid, the universal precursor of tetrapyrroles, in a reaction catalyzed by the product of the hemA gene. Expression of the B. japonicum hemA gene is affected by iron availability. Activity of a hemA-lacZ fusion is increased approximately threefold by iron, and RNA analysis indicates that iron regulation is at the level of mRNA accumulation. To our knowledge, this is the first example of an iron-regulated heme biosynthetic gene in prokaryotes.
