Phytohemagglutinin-induced cytotoxic action of normal lymphocytes on cells in tissue culture using 14C-leucine incorporation. 1977

R Nemoto, and K Ishikawa, and T Kato

Stimulation of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and production of PHA-induced cytotoxicity were investigated. PBL transformation stimulated by PHA was measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation, and the cytotoxicity was assayed by measuring the reduction of 14C-leucine incorporation in to target cells after interaction with PHA-treated PBL. The cytotoxicity of PHA-treated PBL showed dose response curves which corresponded with that of PBL transformation. Reduced 14C-leucine incorporation of target cells caused by cytotoxic PBL would be a reliable measure of immune reactions.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D046508 Culture Techniques Methods of maintaining or growing biological materials in controlled laboratory conditions. These include the cultures of CELLS; TISSUES; organs; or embryo in vitro. Both animal and plant tissues may be cultured by a variety of methods. Cultures may derive from normal or abnormal tissues, and consist of a single cell type or mixed cell types.

D037102 Lectins Proteins that share the common characteristic of binding to carbohydrates. Some ANTIBODIES and carbohydrate-metabolizing proteins (ENZYMES) also bind to carbohydrates, however they are not considered lectins. PLANT LECTINS are carbohydrate-binding proteins that have been primarily identified by their hemagglutinating activity (HEMAGGLUTININS). However, a variety of lectins occur in animal species where they serve diverse array of functions through specific carbohydrate recognition.
