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.


Proteins Antigenically Related To The Human Erythrocyte Glucose Transporter In Normal And Rous Sarcoma Virus-Transformed Chicken Embryo Fibroblasts., Donald W. Salter, Stephen A. Baldwin, Gustav E. Lienhard, Michael J. Weber Mar 1982

Proteins Antigenically Related To The Human Erythrocyte Glucose Transporter In Normal And Rous Sarcoma Virus-Transformed Chicken Embryo Fibroblasts., Donald W. Salter, Stephen A. Baldwin, Gustav E. Lienhard, Michael J. Weber

Dartmouth Scholarship

Antibody raised against the purified human erythrocyte glucose transporter specifically precipitated four proteins from normal and Rous sarcoma virus-transformed chicken embryo cells: a major protein of Mr 41,000 and minor proteins of Mr 68,000, 73,000, and 82,000. The Mr 41,000 and 82,000 proteins were found only in a membrane fraction, not in the soluble fraction, and displayed a heterogeneous mobility on NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting glycosylation. The Mr 41,000 and 82,000 proteins were increased in amount after malignant transformation in direct proportion to the increase in hexose transport rate, and the increase was dependent on the expression of the src …


Rat Dendritic Cells Function As Accessory Cells And Control The Production Of A Soluble Factor Required For Mitogenic Responses Of T Lymphocytes., Wolfgang E. Klinkert, Jon H. Labadie, James P. O'Brien, Carl F. Beyer, William E. Bowers Sep 1980

Rat Dendritic Cells Function As Accessory Cells And Control The Production Of A Soluble Factor Required For Mitogenic Responses Of T Lymphocytes., Wolfgang E. Klinkert, Jon H. Labadie, James P. O'Brien, Carl F. Beyer, William E. Bowers

Dartmouth Scholarship

Transformation of T lymphocytes, induced by treatment with periodate or with neuraminidase plus galactose oxidase, requires the participation of accessory cells. Procedures were developed for the fractionation of rat lymph node cells, by which most of the lymphocytes can be recovered as a major population of cells that do not respond to mitogenic stimulation unless accessory cells from a separated minor population are added. Further purification led to a 1000-fold overall increase in accessory activity per cell, with a 50-70% yield. The purest preparations were virtually free of macrophages and contained more than 90% typical dendritic cells. Maximum responses occurred …
