Modulation of E-receptor expression on activated T lymphocytes. 1986

S K Oh, and W L Farrar, and F W Ruscetti

Our study indicated that the newly synthesized E-receptor, as measured with 125I-labeled monoclonal anti-E receptor antibody, on activated T lymphocytes were responsible for forming stable E-rosettes at 37 degrees C. Maximum induction of new E-receptor expression required at least 50 hr of culture with polyclonal T-cell activators, phytohemagglutinin, or phorbol myristate acetate. Polyclonal B-cell activator, lipopolysaccharide were not able to induce new E-receptor expression on the surface of T lymphocytes. The expression of the new E-receptor paralleled with the induction of Tac antigen expression. Interleukins 1 and 2 or Interferon-gamma were not able to initiate the induction of new E-receptors. However, a neuropeptide, endorphin exhibited biphasic effect on modulating the E-receptor expression, in the absence of polyclonal activators. As is the case with Tac antigen expression, induction of new E-receptor antigen may be a marker for activated T lymphocytes.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008222 Lymphokines Soluble protein factors generated by activated lymphocytes that affect other cells, primarily those involved in cellular immunity. Lymphocyte Mediators,Mediators, Lymphocyte
D010835 Phytohemagglutinins Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.

D011453 Prostaglandins A group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway. They are extremely potent mediators of a diverse group of physiological processes. Prostaglandin,Prostanoid,Prostanoids
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D011971 Receptors, Immunologic Cell surface molecules on cells of the immune system that specifically bind surface molecules or messenger molecules and trigger changes in the behavior of cells. Although these receptors were first identified in the immune system, many have important functions elsewhere.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
