Macrophage infiltration in human non-small-cell lung cancer: the role of CC chemokines
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-04)
Bronchogenic carcinoma is the leading cause of malignancy-related mortality in the United States, with an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 15%. This aggressive behavior reflects, among other traits, the capacity ...
The murine CC chemokine, 6C-kine, inhibits tumor growth and angiogenesis in a human lung cancer SCID mouse model
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2001-01)
The recently described CC chemokine, 6C-kine, is unique in that it contains -six rather than the usual four conserved cysteines typical of this family. Furthermore, murine 6C-kine binds to one of the CXC chemokine receptors ...
Binding of Griffonia simplicifolia I lectin to rat pulmonary alveolar macrophages and its use in purifying type II alveolar epithelial cells
(Elsevier, 1986-01-23)
We report that the isolectin Griffonia simplicifolia I-B4 isolated from G. simplicifolia seeds binds to rat alveolar macrophages present in frozen sections of lung tissue or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. G. simplicifolia ...
An improved method for immobilizing IgG antibodies on protein A-agarose
(Elsevier, 1990-03-09)
This report describes a modification of a procedure developed by others for crosslinking IgG to protein A which itself is covalently linked to a gel support. Earlier immunoaffinity columns were described as having large ...
A new member of the CAB gene family: structure, expression and chromosomal location of Cab -8, the tomato gene encoding the Type III chlorophyll a/b-binding polypeptide of photosystem I
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-03)
We have previously reported the isolation and characterization of tomato nuclear genes encoding two types of chlorophyll a/b-binding (CAB) polypeptides localized in photosystem (PS) I and two types of CAB polypeptides ...
Regulating leukotriene synthesis: The role of nuclear 5-lipoxygenase
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-12-15)
Leukotrienes are lipid messengers involved in autocrine and paracrine cellular signaling. They are synthesized from arachidonic acid by the 5-lipoxygenase pathway. Current models of this enzymatic pathway recognize that a ...
CXC chemokines mechanism of action in regulating tumor angiogenesis
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-03)
The CXC chemokines have recently been identified as a family of molecules which can regulate angiogenesis. Members of this family which contain the amino acid motif Glu–Leu–Arg in their amino terminus (ELR + ) act as ...
Modeling degranulation with liposomes: Effect of lipid composition on membrane fusion
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 1994-08)
Degranulation involves the regulated fusion of granule membrane with plasma membrane. To study the role of lipid composition in degranulation, large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) of increasing complexity in lipid compositions ...
The role of calcium in growth induced by indole-3-acetic acid and gravity in the leaf-sheath pulvinus of oat ( Avena sativa )
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 1992-03)
Leaf-sheath pulvini of excised segments from oat ( Avena sativa L.) were induced to grow by treatment with 10 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gravistimulation, or both, and the effects of calcium, EGTA, and calcium channel ...
