The tumor suppressor p16Ink4a regulates T lymphocyte survival
In contrast to other cell cycle inhibitors, the tumor suppressor p16Ink4a is not detectable or expressed at very low levels in embryonic and adult mouse tissues, and therefore it has often been considered as a sp...

T Cell Recognition of Superantigens
The specificity of the immune system is determined by antigen (Ag) receptors clonally expressed on T and B lymphocytes. These differ remarkably in their ligand specificity: While the Ag receptors of B lymphocy...

Pgp-1 (Ly 24) As a Marker of Murine Memory T Lymphocytes
It is generally accepted that the primary immune response to an antigen involves the formation of long-lived, antigen-specific memory cells, in addition to effector cells. These memory cells are thought to be ...

Clonal Deletion of Autoreactive T Lymphocytes: Insights from Neonatal Ontogeny
It is now well established that intrathymic clonal deletion of autoreactive cells is an important mechanism for maintaining tolerance to self antigens (Kappler et al. 1987, 1988; MacDonald et al. 1988b). Howev...

Activation Requirements for Resting T Lymphocytes
The growth of T lymphocytes is generally believed to be under dual control (reviewed in Smith 1980). Initially, interaction of specific antigen receptors on the T-cell surface with antigen (or its presumed ope...

Non Antigen-Specific Surface Molecules Involved in T Lymphocyte Function
Until recently, it was generally assumed that cell surface structures other than antigen-specific receptors were not involved in T cell function. However, the reports in 1979 by Nakayama et al.1 and Shinohara ...

Heterogeneity of Inhibition of Cytolytic T Lymphocyte Clones by Monoclonal Anti-Lyt-2/3 Antibodies: Parallel Effects on Cytolysis, Proliferation and Lymphokine Secretion
The interaction between cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and target cells is presumed to be mediated by antigen-specific receptors on the surface of CTL. One approach to the identification and characterization of...

Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in cancer patients: lack of prognostic value
Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (“killer” (K) cell activity) of peripheral-blood lymphomononuclear (LMN) cells was determined in patients with early and advanced cancer, and the results compared with ...

Chapter
Separation of Earthworm Coelomocytes by Velocity Sedimentation
Earthworm leukocytes (coelomocytes) are heterogeneous morphologically (1,2) and participate in diverse functions including graft rejection (3), phagocytosis (1), formation of rosettes with SRBC (4), and mitoge...

Antibody-dependent Cell-mediated Destruction of Human Erythrocytes Sensitized in ABO and Rhesus Fetal-Maternal Incompatibilities
Extract: Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCMC) was measured in a 51Cr-release assay with antibody-sensitized human red blood cells (RBC) as target cells and nonimmune isologous or autologous monon...
