Abstract

A bovine IL-2-dependent lymphoblastoid T-cell line (BLTC) was developed and established from peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with Con A, and subpassaged in conditioned media prepared from Con A-activated bovine lymph node cells. The BLTC cell line is IL-2 dependent, requiring exogenous IL-2 either in the form of recombinant bovine or human IL-2 or conditioned media prepared from Con A-stimulated bovine lymph node cells. Conditioned media prepared from mononuclear cells from other species, such as dogs and rats, were without any stimulatory effects. The growth of these cells was lectin-independent, and monokines such as IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha, or conditioned media from LPS-stimulated macrophases failed to support their growth. Immunophenotyping showed that over 90% of the cells were CD2+, CD3+, and CD4+, 25% were CD5%, less than 2% were CD8+, and less than 2% were CD20+. The cells were negative for the gamma delta 215/300 kDa T-cell markers and the 75/110 kDa monocyte markers. The growth of these cells was inhibited by dibutyryl cAMP in the presence or absence of IL-2, and stimulated by the phorbol ester, PMA, in the absence but not in the presence of IL-2. The effects of IL-2 and PMA were blocked by the protein k...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.
