Abstract

Changes in lateral mobilities of rabbit lymphocyte membrane components in response to succinyl concanavalin A (S Con A) have been studied by fluorescence photobleaching recovery (FPR). During hrs 0 to 3 after exposure to S Con A, lectin receptor mobilities on both T and B cells fall about 2-fold. Reduced mobility of T cell lectin receptors persists until hr 18. From hr 18 to 24 rapid recovery of original mobility occurs if and only if lectin is present. In contrast, nonresponding B cells recover original receptor mobility gradually over hr 4 to 48. Metabolic inhibitors added at hr 3 restore original receptor mobilities, but cytoskeletal disruptors have this effect on T cells only. From hr 0 to 15, washing lectin from the cell surface is decreasingly effective in restoring T cell receptor mobility. After hr 15, mobility cannot be enhance by lectin removal. Parallel DNA synthesis studies show that, for T cell stimulation, lectin must be present on the cell surface during hr 0 to 3 and 18 to 24. These are the periods when FPR measurements show lectin receptor mobilities being restricted and released, respectively. Stimulation of B cells by anti-Ig shows several interesting features. First, stimulation by intact anti-Ig fails to re...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
