...Sandra Rodrigues-Mascarenhas; Neusa Fernandes dos Santos; Vivian M. Rumjanek The present report shows that thymocyte death, induced by glucocorticoids, may be modulated in vivo by ouabain. Young, ten days old, mice injected with 140 mg/kg sodium succcinate of hydrocortisone (HC) intraperitonially...

... mistletoe lectin and its isolated B-chainwere used. A reduced impact of multivalency for Ehrlich ascites tumorcells in contrast to rat thymocytes was revealed. Signaling is thusinitiated in a cell-type-dependent manner. Using selective metabolicinhibitors to reduce signal transfer for aggregate stability...

...Ludy Dorbrila; Geo Serban; Constantina Heltianu In the present work we examined whether the interaction between albumin molecules and thymocytes involves albumin-binding proteins (ABP). Two plasmalemma-rich fractions obtained by differential centrifugation from rat thymus lymphocytes were...

...Frank Buttgereit; Martin D. Brand; Marianne Müller The short-term effects of high concentrations of Methylprednisolone (MP) on the energy metabolism of quiescent and Concanavalin A-stimulated rat thymocytes were investigated in vitro. Concanavalin A (ConA) stimulated the respiration rate...

...F. Buttgereit; M. D. Brand; M. Müller The influence of ConA on the energy metabolism of quiescent rat thymocytes was investigated by measuring the effects of inhibitors of protein synthesis, proteolysis, RNA/DNA synthesis, Na + K + -ATPase, Ca 2+ -ATPase and mitochondrial ATP synthesis...

...Ulf Ernström Thymocyte growth peptide (TGP) promotes DNA synthesis of immature thymocytes. TGP has been purified from sheep, human and calf thymus and recently characterized as an N-terminally blocked nonapeptide. Evidence is presented here that the blocking moiety consists of a formylpteroyl group...

... and protection against neurotoxins. This paper shows that the effect of gangliosides is not restricted to neurons. The monosialoganglioside GM 1 efficiently increases the survival of thymocytes and protects them against both the lytic effect of the glucocorticoid prednisolone and the effect of a thymocytotoxic...
