Markedly reduced ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity was found in peripheral blood lymphocytes from 27 out of 30 homosexual men with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in association with Kaposi's sarcoma (AIDS-KS; 2.67 +/- 1.70 U/10(6) cells; n = 13), opportunistic infections (AIDS-OI; 9.29
Nuclei isolated from Yoshida sarcoma cells had activity for conversion of dGTP dependent on DNA synthesis. The ratio of nucleotide generation/generation + incorporation was 0.4 +/0- 0.1, indicating that approx. 40% of the incorporated dGMP was excised. Two lines of evidence indicated the dependence
Ten tumors of true histiocytic origin (Histiocytic Sarcoma) are presented. The tumor cells were identified as histiocytes by immunological, cytochemical and ultrastructural criteria (cytoplasmic lysozyme activity, presence of C3 and Fc gamma receptor, strong acid phosphatase and alpha-naphthyl
A case of alveolar soft part sarcoma was studied by light and electron microscopy and by electron microscopic enzyme histochemistry of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and 5'nucleotidase(5'Nase). The tumor showed distinct alveolar pattern and diastase resistant PAS positive crystalline inclusions
The metabolism of deoxycytidine (dCyd) and dCyd nucleotides in Yoshida ascites sarcoma (YS) cells and the host rat liver was investigated with reference to the increased excretion of urinary dCyd. Incorporation of [14C]orotic acid into the livers of rats at the fifth day after the transplantation of
A case of epithelioid sarcoma was studied by electron microscopy and by light and electron microscopic enzyme histochemistry comparing with several control soft tissues. In addition to previously reported ultrastructural features, such as abundant 10 nm cytoplasmic filaments, desmosome-like cell
A new 5'-nucleotidase inhibitor named nucleoticidin was produced by Pseudomonas sp. YM-3229G. It was isolated from a fermentation broth by trichloroacetic acid extraction, ethanol precipitation and Dowex 1 and DEAE-52 column chromatography. It inhibited 5'-nucleotidase activity of snake venom and
Previous studies utilizing enzyme histochemistry, electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry have failed to establish the cell of origin in Kaposi's sarcoma. The authors have rigorously tested the prevailing hypothesis that the lesion defined as Kaposi's sarcoma is derived from vascular
Activity of 5'-nucleotidase was inhibited in thymus tissue of tumor-bearing mice; bradykinin (1 mg/kg body weight) increased the enzymatic activity 2.0-2.2-fold. Administration of bradykinin led to inhibition of allogenic Crocker's sarcoma growth and to stimulation of syngeneic mastocytoma P-815
Nucleoticidin and melanocidins A and B exhibited potent inhibitory activity against 5'-nucleotidases from rat liver membrane and snake venom. Nucleoticidin retarded growth of Sarcoma 180 solid tumor, and melanocidins A and B prolonged the survival period of mice bearing B16 melanoma. These
5' Nucleotidase (5'NT) is an ectoenzyme associated with the plasma membrane of most mammalian cells. Low 5'NT activity has been observed in peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with immunodeficiency states. 5'NT activity was measured in null and T-enriched lymphocytes from asymptomatic
The existence of a sarcoma derived from the antigen-presenting follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) has been assumed but never confirmed. This report describes a tumor from axillary lymph nodes of a 39-year-old male in which the morphologic, enzyme histochemical, and immune phenotypic data are
Large-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (T- and B-immunoblastic, centroblastic and true histiocytic lymphomas) have a heterogeneous clinical course. In the present study the clinical and morphological data of 20 cases of histiocytic sarcoma (true histiocytic lymphoma) are presented. Diagnosis was
To study the effects of cisplatin [cis-dichlorodiammine-platinum (II)] on tumor cells in the presence or absence of the immune system, animals with ascites sarcoma-180 tumor burden were treated with therapeutic dose levels (9 mg/kg). Similarly, ascites sarcoma-180 cells were maintained in tissue
Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a heterogenous tumor arising from the embryonic mesoderm represented by approximately 50 histological subtypes. Effective therapeutic intervention is lacking for recurrent, late stage and metastatic disease. CD39, a cell-surface ectonucleotidase, has previously been
