[Activity of cell-detached 5'-nucleotidase in thymocytes of various densities]. 1983

B V Oleĭnik, and A A Tarasova, and I A Bezvershenko

The rat thymocytes submitted to heating at 45 degrees C for 1 hr liberate plasma membrane fragments containing 5'-nucleotidase activity in the supernatant. The thymocytes were separated by ficoll density gradient centrifugation. High activity of 5'-nucleotidase per 10(6) cells was found in the supernatant of low density (1.069) subset of thymocytes. Thymocyte supernatant of rats treated with hydrocortisone demonstrated higher 5'-nucleotidase activity per 10(6) cells than in intact animals. This is due to an increase of the low density population of thymocytes in treated rats since the 5'-nucleotidase activity per 10(6) cells of the supernatant obtained from this density fraction is the same both in treated with hydrocortisone and intact rats. Hydrocortisone seems to induce a selection of the thymocytes with high 5'-nucleotidase activity.

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.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
