Further biochemical characterization of human basophil-like cell-promoting activity and its distinction from human interleukin-3-like activity. 1988

Supernatants from lectin-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells contained two activities; basophil-like cell-promoting activity (BaPA) and a growth factor for murine interleukin-3-dependent cell lines (IL-3-like activity). BaPA had a MW of 24,000 and a pI of 6.0-7.5, while human IL-3-like activity had a MW of 18,000 and a pI of 5.0-5.9. Beside the biochemical differences between the two activities, supernatants from a T cell line were found that contained BaPA and GM-CSF but no IL-3-like activity. These data suggest that BaPA and IL-3-like activity are two different molecular entities.

D007525 Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis in which a pH gradient is established in a gel medium and proteins migrate until they reach the site (or focus) at which the pH is equal to their isoelectric point. Electrofocusing,Focusing, Isoelectric
D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D002474 Cell-Free System A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.
