Loss of endogenous mouse mammary tumor virus superantigen increases tumor resistance

From a cross between a tumor-susceptible mouse strain (DBA/2; D) and a tumor-resistant MHC-identical strain (B10.D2; D2) new recombinant inbred mouse strains were established over many generations of inbreeding and tumor resistance selection. Since resistance to the highly metastatic DBA/2 lymphoma variant ESb had an immunologic basis, and the two parental strains differed in endogenous viral superantigens (vSAGs), DNA of three D2 x D recombinant inbred mouse lines was typed for endogenous mouse mammary tumor viruses using mouse mammary tumor virus long terminal repeat- and env gene-specific probes. The resistant D2 x D mice were very similar to the susceptible parental strain D in their Mtv Southern blots, except for the lack of a single band corresponding to Mtv-7, the provirus coding for the strong DBA/2 superantigen Mls-1a. A backcross analysis revealed that Mtv-7-negative F2 mice were significantly more resistant than Mtv-7-positive F2 mice. When Mtv-7 was reintroduced into the resistant lines by crossing them with either CBA/J or BALB/D2.Mls-1a, the mice became again more tumor susceptible. Finally, we demonstrate the ability to transfer immunoresistance and graft-vs-leukemia reactivity from tumor-resistant to tumor-susceptible mice.     

Thyroid hormones in dairy calves after birth and in the first days of life. Amplitude of variation, maternal-fetal relationships and reaction patterns specific to the individual

Dairy calves and their dams from the dairy herd of the institute were used for this investigation. Calvings were watch carefully and jugular venous blood samples taken immediately after delivery from the cow and the calf and in the calf at 24 hours and at 48 hours of postnatal age as well were analyzed for T4, FT4, T3 and FT3 by luminescence enzyme immunoassay (LEIA). Higher thyroid values in calves than in their dams could be found increasing short after birth and reaching their highest level within 24 hours of postnatal life. The individual thyroid hormone values at birth and at 24 hours and at 48 hours of age are well correlated meaning the changes during the first days are specific for each calf. Strong correlation between the thyroid hormone values of the cows and those of the calves could be found. Mean values of thyroid hormones were significantly higher in female than in male calves all time but not different in the dams of these calves.     

Endothelial selectins and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 promote hematopoietic progenitor homing to bone marrow

The adhesive mechanisms allowing hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) homing to the bone marrow (BM) after BM transplantation are poorly understood. We investigated the role of endothelial selectins and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in this process. Lethally irradiated recipient mice deficient in both P-and E-selectins (P/E-/-), reconstituted with minimal numbers (相似文献   

Clinical and histopathological aspects of 113 necrotizing malignant melanomas of the choroid. 1. Clinical and histological features of necrotizing choroidal melanomas

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis may reflect a destructive immune reaction. Systematic and statistically significant comparative clinico-histopathologic studies have not yet been reported. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 113 necrotizing choroidal melanomas (NCM) recruited from 701 enucleated globes 1967-1988 were resectioned, stained and compared to 100 choroidal melanomas without necrosis (CM), and data of 74 patients with a follow-up of more than 10 years were evaluated. RESULTS: Statistically significant characteristics of NCM were: patient age < 60 yrs. for NCM 27.4%, CM 46%; patient age in men for NCM was 64 yrs on average (CM: 58 yrs.), in women for NCM 67 yrs. (CM: 59 yrs.). Time elapsed between first symptoms and enucleation was < 12 months in 15.9% of NCM (89% for CM), and > 12 months in 23.9% of NCM (11% in CM). Mixed or epitheloid cell tumors was seen in 54.9% of NCM and 49% of CM, spindle cell tumors in 36.3% of NCM and 51% in CM. Advanced tumor stages T3 and T4 were present in 45.1% resp. 36.3% of NCM compared to 37% resp. 16% in CM. Scleral invasion was documented in 67.3% of NCM and 37% of CM, extrascleral dissemination in 43% of NCM and 16% of CM. Secondary glaucomas were seen in 62.2% of NCM and 6% CM, a penetration through Bruch's membrane in 61.0% of NCM and 46% of CM. Intratumoral hemorrhage was noted in 68.14% of NCM and 24% of CM, extratumoral bleeding in 23.9% of NCM and 0% CM. Inflammatory reactions in tumors were observed in 96.7% of NCM harboring > 30% necrosis compared to 5% in CM, and extratumoral in 94.5% of NCM and 0% of CM. Intraocular extratumoral necrosis was seen in 23.9% of NCM and 0% of CM. There were no significant differences in the degree of pigmentation of the 90.3% pigmented NCM or of the 94% pigmented CM, neither in the tumor localization, being constantly behind the equator in 87% of cases. Survival of patients with NCM patients was 5 years and 9 months on average (5-year mortality rate 41.9%), and 74.3% were deceased from metastatic spread. CONCLUSIONS: Significant clinical and histopathological differences between necrotizing and non-necrotizing malignant melanomas of the choroid can be identified. The inflammatory reaction of NCM must be further elucidated, particularly with respect to the nature of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.     

Marfan syndrome: diagnosis of cardiovascular manifestations]

BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of several different markers for Epstein--Barr virus (EBV) serology, the EBV status of some patients cannot be resolved from a single serum sample with routine testing. To avoid the requirement of follow-up samples, supplementary tests have to be used in these cases. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the usefulness of avidity and immunoblot assays as supplementary tests for the diagnosis of acute EBV infections. STUDY DESIGN: Three groups of samples for which a definite diagnosis on the EBV status could not be obtained with the routine serological tests were further examined by an EBV IgG avidity assay, by an immunoblot based on a lysate of EBV infected cells, and by a second immunoblot based on recombinant EBV antigens. The three groups consisted of 38 samples with negative/borderline EB nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1) antibodies, negative/borderline EBV IgM and positive EBV IgG; 10 samples with indeterminate EBNA-1 and/or EBV IgM assays because of control antigen reactions; and 4 samples with positive EBV IgM results that were not plausible. RESULTS: The avidity assay differentiated between acute and past infections for all samples. In contrast, some cases remained unresolved with both the recombinant and the lysate immunoblot. Two samples were incorrectly classified with the lysate immunoblot. Interpretation of the lysate immunoblot banding patterns was complicated when anticellular antibodies were present. CONCLUSION: Avidity testing appears to be the confirmatory method of choice to differentiate between acute and past EBV infections.     

Expression of beta 2-integrins and L-selectin on polymorphonuclear leukocytes in septic patients

Adhesion molecules on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) play an important role in nonspecific defense mechanisms directed at invading microorganisms. When local infection, however, cannot be controlled, a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) ensues which may progress to septic shock and multiple organ failure, these being major determinants of the patient's outcome. In the present study, the expression of beta 2-integrins and L-selectin on blood PMNL was measured on subsequent days in patients with sepsis (n = 17) and in healthy volunteers (n = 15). beta 2-Integrins and L-selectin molecules were detected by flow cytometry, using the monoclonal antibodies IB4 (anti-CD18) and Dreg200 (anti-CD62L), respectively. Adhesion molecules were determined at baseline immediately after blood collection and also 45 min after incubation of cells in vitro at body temperature to allow for spontaneous regulation. In addition, PMNL were activated by receptor-dependent and receptor-independent stimuli to characterize stimulus-specific adhesion molecule expression. In parallel with the measurement of adhesion molecules, severity of sepsis was assessed by the Elebute score. The results demonstrate significant differences in the basal, spontaneous and stimulus-induced expression of adhesion molecules between healthy volunteers, survivors (n = 11) and nonsurvivors (n = 6). Moreover, when survivors and nonsurvivors with severe sepsis (Elebute score > 12) were compared, basal expressions of both beta 2-integrins and L-selectin were significantly lower in patients who did not survive. Thus, measurement of adhesion molecules on circulating PMNL may be useful to identify septic patients at high risk for lethal outcome.
