CD14 is a differentiation-stage-linked glycosyl-phophatidyl-inositol-linked glycoprotein on human peripheral blood monocytes and tissue macrophages, which functions as a receptor for lipopolysaccharide. Here, the effects of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF1 a cytokine with proliferation- and differentiation-inducing properties on myeloid lineage cells, were studied on CD14 expression by peripheral blood cells. GM-CSF down-regulated the membrane expression of CD14 on monocytes while it up-regulated expression on neutrophils. GM-CSF also decreased the spontaneous release of CD14 in monocyte culture supernatants. Down-regulation of CD14 expression and release was accompanied by a decrease in the mRNA transcript for CD14, suggesting that it most likely reflects an effect on the transcriptional level. The functional significance of this phenomenon, and its potential relation to the terminal differentiation of monocytes, are discussed.

D003609 Dactinomycin A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
