Cortisol-free transcortin: preparation and effect on mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes. 1983

D Faict, and P De Moor, and H Van Baelen, and W Heyns, and E Stevens, and J Ceuppens

Human cortisol-free transcortin was prepared from charcoal-treated serum. The major purification was achieved by affinity chromatography on an immunoadsorbent column of transcortin antibodies coupled to Sepharose 4B. A further purification on hydroxylapatite yielded pure transcortin with preserved steroid-binding activity. This preparation had no significant influence on the proliferation of human lymphocytes stimulated with phytohemagglutinin, nor did it increase the inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation by cortisol or dexamethasone.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

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.
