The dissociated cell surface membranes of a rat Moloney sarcoma (MST), derived from a BN rat, were extracted with 2 M KI, with 6 M guanidine thiocyanate, or by papain digestion. Extracts obtained with these three reagents were fractionated on columns of controlled-pore glass, 170 A pore size. A
The expression of a cell surface antigen defined by an anti-human osteogenic sarcoma monoclonal antibody was analysed by flow cytofluorometry using fluorescein-labelled antibody. Quantitative absorption tests established that the antigen was associated with plasma membranes, whereas cytosol,
The cell-mediated immune status of B10.D2 (H-2d) mice immunized with spleen cells from a congenic strain, B10.A (H-2a), differing at the H-2 locus and of BALB/c mice immunized with a syngeneic simian virus 40 (SV40)-induced sarcoma (mKSA-TU5) was evaluated by an agarose microassay for migration
A thiol proteinase inhibitor (TPI) has been purified from the ascitic fluid of Sarcoma 180 tumor-bearing mice. The molecular weight of the inhibitor was estimated to be 67,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the substance inhibited papain, cathepsins B and L, but
Elevated activities of cysteine proteinases such as cathepsins B and L and cancer procoagulant have been linked to tumor malignancy. In the present study we examined the hypothesis that these elevated activities could be due to impaired regulation by the endogenous low molecular mass cysteine
An activity isolated from bovine bone was previously shown to stimulate proteoglycan synthesis by several connective tissue cell lines from normal tissues (Matrigenin activity). The effect of this activity on glycoconjugate synthesis by two osteoblastic cell lines, ROS 17/2 and UMR-106, derived from
Macrophage migration inhibition assays, with a direct agarose microdroplet method, were used to monitor TAA activity of preparations of SV-40-induced mKSA cells. These preparations included cell-free crude membranes, papain-solubilized and NP40 detergent-solubilized membrane extracts from mKSA tumor
Ricin A chain immunotoxin constructed with monoclonal antibody 791T/36, which recognizes a tumor associated glycoprotein Mr 72,000 antigen present on sarcomas and colon and ovarian cancer cells, is cytotoxic for cell lines from tumors expressing this antigen. Incubation of sarcoma 791T cells with
BALB/c mice were rendered immune to syngeneic SV40-induced sarcoma by subcutaneous injection of mKSA-TU5 tissue-culture adapted cells. Spleen cells from immune mice were examined for tumor-cell neutralization in the Winn assay as well as in in vitro lymphocyte stimulation assays. A microculture (200
A method for preparation of soluble feline oncornavirus-induced cell surface antigens was described. This technique relied upon the natural release of antigen(s) from FL-74 feline lymphoblastoid cells during their maintenance at 37 degrees in serum-deficient medium. When concentrated and clarified
Using a modified papain digestion cetylpyridinium salt precipitation method, glycosaminoglycans were isolated from 21 mesotheliomas, 34 primary lung carcinomas, 12 carcinomas of other sites, and 7 soft tissue sarcomas. Qualitatively, hyaluronic acid (HA) was present in 20 of 21 mesotheliomas, about
Quantitative studies have been performed on the immunogenicity of a membrane-bound antigen of a simian virus 40 (SV40) -induced sarcoma in syngeneic BALB/c mice and of subcellular fractions derived from this tumor. The objectives of the investigation were: a) to develop a quantitative in vivo assay
Soluble, partially purified, histocompatibility antigens that were obtained from the membranes of A/J spleen cells have been assayed for their capacity to elicit immunologic enhancement of two tumors of A-strain origin: YAA-C1 and Sarcoma I. Crude membrane material and a partially purified, soluble
A population of Fab fragments was identified in the papain-solubilized fraction of membranes of a rat chemically-induced sarcoma, KMT 17. The Fab fragments were partially purified by gel filtration and column electrophoresis. A rabbit antiserum against the partially purified Fab fragments was raised
