Guinea-pig lymphotoxin resistant L-cell sublines. 1979

Y Kobayashi, and J Sawada, and T Osawa

Guinea-pig lymphotoxin (GLT)-resistant L-cell sublines were isolated, and the altered properties were characterized. Two of them (No. 1 and No. 2 cells) showed the lowest capacity to absorb GLT and substantially reduced ability to bind labelled Ricinus communis agglutinin (RcA). Both the cell-surface proteins and glycoproteins of No. 2 cells were found to be quite different from those of parental L cells. The glycoprotein of molecular weight 140,000, which specifically bound to RcA-Sepharose, was missing in the No. 2 cells extract. These results indicate that the glycoprotein of molecular weight 140,000 is the most probable candidate for the receptor molecule for GLT, and that No. 2 cells and probably No. 1 cells are GLT receptor-deficient cells.

D008233	Lymphotoxin-alpha	A tumor necrosis factor family member that is released by activated LYMPHOCYTES. Soluble lymphotoxin is specific for TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR TYPE I; TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR TYPE II; and TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTOR SUPERFAMILY, MEMBER 14. Lymphotoxin-alpha can form a membrane-bound heterodimer with LYMPHOTOXIN-BETA that has specificity for the LYMPHOTOXIN BETA RECEPTOR.

D004351	Drug Resistance	Diminished or failed response of an organism, disease or tissue to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should be differentiated from DRUG TOLERANCE which is the progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, as a result of continued administration.	Resistance, Drug
