Murine Gamma Interferon Fails To Inhibit Toxoplasma Gondii Growth In Murine Fibroblasts., Joseph D. Schwartzman, Steven L. Gonias, E R. Pfefferkorn Mar 1990

Murine Gamma Interferon Fails To Inhibit Toxoplasma Gondii Growth In Murine Fibroblasts., Joseph D. Schwartzman, Steven L. Gonias, E R. Pfefferkorn

Dartmouth Scholarship

Although treatment of human macrophages or fibroblasts with human gamma interferon results in the inhibition of intracellular Toxoplasma gondii, murine gamma interferon stimulated only murine macrophages, not murine fibroblasts, to inhibit T. gondii. This species difference may be important in understanding the control of acute and chronic toxoplasmosis.


K+ Efflux In Nih Mouse 3t3 Cells And Transformed Derivatives: Dependence On Extracellular Ca2+ And Phorbol Esters., Martin Lubin Jul 1988

K+ Efflux In Nih Mouse 3t3 Cells And Transformed Derivatives: Dependence On Extracellular Ca2+ And Phorbol Esters., Martin Lubin

Dartmouth Scholarship

In culture medium deficient in Ca2+, NIH mouse 3T3 cells lose K+, gain Na+, and stop growing. A marked increase in the rate of K+ efflux accounts for this loss; Na+, K+-ATPase pump activity increases but does not fully compensate for enhanced K+ efflux. Phorbol esters and cycloheximide inhibit K+ loss in Ca2+-deficient medium. Phorbol esters inhibit K+ efflux from human fibroblasts as well, even at physiological levels of Ca2+. Two cell lines derived from NIH-3T3, one transformed by a simian virus 40 deletion mutant, the other by the polyoma virus oncogene encoding the middle-sized tumor antigen, retain K+ and …


Identification Of Sequences In The Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase Gene Required For Efficient Processing And Polyadenylation., Charles N. Cole, Terryl P. Stacy Aug 1985

Identification Of Sequences In The Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase Gene Required For Efficient Processing And Polyadenylation., Charles N. Cole, Terryl P. Stacy

Dartmouth Scholarship

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 thymidine kinase gene (tk) was resected from its 3' end with BAL 31 exonuclease. Two sets of plasmids were isolated that lacked information distal to the two copies of the hexanucleotide 5'-AATAAA-3' located at the 3' end of the HSV tk gene. The presence of a simian virus 40 origin of DNA replication in each plasmid facilitated analysis of patterns of transcription in transfected Cos-1 monkey cells. Transcription analyses were performed with an S1 nuclease protection assay. Efficient processing and polyadenylation at the normal site still occurred when all sequences more than 44 …
