Abstract

The effects of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on protein synthesis of a pre-B cell leukemia, L1210, have been studied by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. In total cell extracts, at least ten proteins were induced de novo, or increased in their expression, after an 18-h IFN-gamma treatment, whereas in the nuclear extracts eight proteins were specifically induced. Of these, increased synthesis of a 40-kDa/pI 5.9 cytoplasmic protein was the most prominent and reproducible. Most of these proteins appear to be specific for a defined step of differentiation, since they are not found in other B cell leukemias upon IFN-gamma treatment. Others appear to be tissue specific, since they are not induced in fibroblasts nor in T cells. In addition, synthesis of some of the induced proteins appeared to require rapid transcription of new mRNA, because actinomycin D markedly inhibited their formation when added immediately before IFN-gamma. In keeping with this finding, in vitro translation of mRNA from IFN-gamma-treated L1210 cells into a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system, followed by analysis of the labeled proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, revealed the appearance of at least seven proteins. Taken as a whole, these results dem...Continue Reading

B-Cell Leukemia (Keystone)

B-cell leukemia includes various types of lymphoid leukemia that affect B cells. Here is the latest research on B-cell leukemia.

B cell Activation

B cell activation is initiated by the ligation of the B cell receptor with antigen and ultimately results in the production of protective antibodies against potentially pathogenic invaders. Here is the latest research.
