25. Characterization of Murine Lung Dendritic Cells Infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Lung dendritic cells were identified by immunohistochemistry in lung tissue sections from C57BL/6 mice. Following isolation from the lungs using CD11c magnetic beads, the flow cytometric analysis of I-Ab+ and CD11c+ cells indicated a mixed population of dendritic cells at different stages of maturation, with most expressing an immature phenotype. When cultur

26. Immunological and immunohistochemical analysis of rheumatoid nodules.
An attempt was made to examine the pathophysiology of the rheumatoid nodule. Significant amounts of interleukin 1-like activity and prostaglandin E2 were detected in the supernatants from in vitro organ cultures of rheumatoid nodule tissue. When fresh (but not old) rheumatoid nodules were minced and cultured in vitro prominent outgrowths of cells were observ

27. Involvement of CD14 and β2-Integrins in Activating Cells with Soluble and Particulate Lipopolysaccharides and Mannuronic Acid Polymers
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and related bacterial products can be recognized by host inflammatory cells in a particulate, bacterium-bound form, as well as in various soluble, released forms. In the present study we have compared the mechanisms used by LPS, detoxified LPS (DLPS), and mannuronic acid polymers (M-polymers), in solution or covalently linked to part

28. Development of Francisella tularensis antigen responses measured as T-lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine production (tumor necrosis factor alpha, gamma interferon, and interleukin-2 and -4) during human tularemia.
The lymphocyte immune reactivity of 12 tularemia patients to Francisella tularensis antigens prepared from the bacterial cell envelope was examined during a 14-week follow-up study. Lymphocyte blast transformation responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to different protein antigens appeared simultaneously 2 weeks after the first symptoms of t

29. Upregulation of ICAM-I by Plasmodium falciparum: in vitro and in vivo studies.
AIMS--To monitor the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule I (ICAM-I) in vitro after stimulation of human macrophages with Plasmodium falciparum antigens, as well as the plasma concentrations of soluble ICAM-I (SICAM-I) in vivo in malarial patients. METHODS--Human mononuclear leucocytes were cultured and stimulated for four hours with 300 ng/ml exoge

30. Use of buffered formaldehyde in the enzymatic digestion of inflamed mucosa.
Mucosal inflammation is associated with altered expression of cell membrane molecules. Disaggregation of tissue for flow cytometry may introduce artefactual changes. In an attempt to prevent the induction of artefacts, cells were fixed prior to isolation. The addition of 0.1% buffered formaldehyde to the collagenase/dispase digestion of mucosal biopsy specim

31. Extrathymic differentiation of T lymphocytes and natural killer cells from human embryonic liver precursors.
Liver cells were isolated on Ficoll/Hypaque gradients from embryos or fetuses at 6-10 weeks of gestation; 2-20% of the cells expressed CD45 or HLA class I surface antigens and 2-6% expressed CD7. Other T- or natural-killer (NK)-cell-lineage-specific markers were undetectable. Liver-cell suspensions cultured in the presence of phytohemagglutinin and recombina

32. Immunophenotypic characterisation of acute leukaemia after polycythemia vera.
AIMS--To analyze the immunophenotype of blast cells in patients with acute leukaemia after polycythemia vera, together with the most relevant clinical and haematological disease characteristics. METHODS--The immunophenotype was analysed in nine patients by immunofluorescence flow cytometry using a panel of 15 monoclonal antibodies. The DNA content of blast c

33. Learning from lesions: patterns of tissue inflammation in leprosy.
The clinical forms of leprosy constitute a spectrum that correlates closely with the degree of cell-mediated immunity. Patients with tuberculoid leprosy develop strong cell-mediated responses and have only a few, localized lesions, whereas patients with multibacillary lepromatous leprosy are specifically unresponsive to antigens of Myobacterium leprae. T cel

34. Expression of members of immunoglobulin gene family in somatic cell hybrids between human B and T cells.
Somatic cell hybrids were obtained between human T and B cells and tested for the expression of differentiated traits of both cell lineages. The T-cell parent SUP-T1 is CD3-, CD4+, CD1+, CD8+, is weakly positive for HLA class I determinants, and has an inversion of chromosome 14 due to a site-specific recombination event between an immunoglobulin heavy-chain

35. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype, tissue HCV antigens, hepatocellular expression of HLA-A,B,C, and intercellular adhesion-1 molecules. Clues to pathogenesis of hepatocellular damage and response to interferon treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
To obtain information on the mechanisms of hepatocellular damage and the determinants of response to interferon, hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype, tissue HCV antigens, hepatocellular expression of HLA-A,B,C and intercellular adhesion-1 molecules, and the number of lobular T lymphocytes were studied in 38 anti-HCV-positive patients. 14 patients did not show a

36. Dual EBNA1 promoter usage by Epstein-Barr virus in human B-cell lines expressing unique intermediate cellular phenotypes.
The use of different viral promoters for the expression of the EBNA1 gene product appears to be a critical step in the regulation of Epstein-Barr virus latent gene expression and may reflect the extent of differentiation of B-cell hosts. Low-passage Burkitt lymphoma cell lines resemble immature B cells in that they express CD10 (CALLA) and do not express B-c
