Description:
Cancer occurs when a single cell in the body stops performing its normal function and grows out of control. Damage to DNA can lead to permanent changes, called mutations, which can result in cancerous growth. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientist John Hinz explores how cells repair DNA, the consequences of unrepaired DNA damage, and the fates of individuals born without DNA repair proteins.

Abstract: The distribution of calbindin in some endocrine glands (thyroid, parathyroid, ultimobranchial body, pituitary and adrenals) and in the diffuse endocrine cells of the gut and pancreas has been investigated immunohistochemically using an antiserum rais...
Abstract:
Abstract: A detailed phenotypic analysis of major and minor circulating lymphocyte subsets is described in potential blood donors with markers of hepatitis C virus (HCV), including non-viremic and viremic groups. Although there were no changes in the hematolog...
Abstract: We have investigated the role of mast cells as modulators of lymphocyte function because the mast cells are concentrated in the areas of lymphoid storage; they are dependent upon T-cell growth factor for their proliferation; and they appear to be the...
Abstract: We investigated the alteration of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) induced by recombinant human tumor necrosis factor alpha (rhTNF alpha) using confluent cultures of bovine aortic smooth-muscle cells, bovine aortic endothelial cells, Chang liver cells and p...
Abstract: The human progenitor cell antigen (CD34) is selectively expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells in the bone marrow. In either cryostat sections of snap-frozen skin, or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections of normal skin, anti-CD34 monoclonal...
Abstract: PROBLEM: To evaluate the ability of immunophenotypes of endometrial leukocytes from patients with histories of recurrent abortion to predict outcome of subsequent pregnancy. METHODS OF STUDY: Seventeen women with two successive spontaneous abortions ...
Abstract: FTY720 alters lymphocyte recirculation and homing by interfering with S1P receptors on lymphocytes, possibly in combination with chemokine receptors, and induces a decrease in PBL counts. In fresh, whole blood samples of 14 kidney transplant patients...
Abstract: We performed an immunohistological study using biopsy samples of bone marrow obtained from patients, ranging in age from a newborn baby to 100 years old. Those patients suffering from hematological diseases or diseases that would be capable of affect...
Abstract: Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) represent a specialized cell population that produce type I interferon (IFN) in response to virus. Although type I IFN is a natural killer (NK) cell modulator, a direct role for pDC in coordinating NK cell functions...
Abstract: Dendritic cells (DC) play a key role in the initiation of immune response by stimulating the naive T cells. The fate of DC after the initiation of immune response is not clearly understood. Although there are few reports implicating natural killer (N...
Abstract: Experiments were conducted in an effort to determine the ability of B and T lymphocytes to serve as APC for the activation of HSV-primed splenic T cells to become class I-restricted, HSV-specific CTL. The results showed that both freshly isolated spl...
Abstract: The p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases (p38) are important signaling molecules that regulate various cellular processes. Four isoforms of p38 family, p38alpha, p38beta, p38gamma, and p38delta, have been identified in mammalian cells. Previou...
Abstract: Information was sought on the antigen-presenting cells (APC) required for stimulating primary mixed-lymphocyte reactions (MLR) by unprimed Lyt-2+ cells in the absence of added lymphokines. Like L3T4+ cells, Lyt-2+ cells gave very high MLR in response...
Abstract: In this study, we have investigated the ability of splenic B cells to act as antigen-presenting cells. Previous data had established that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated B cells were effective antigen-presenting cells; however, the relative capaci...
Abstract: Determination of the cell types proliferating in the dermis of patients with psoriasis should identify those cells experiencing activation or responding to growth factors in the psoriatic dermal milieu. Toward that end, sections of formalin-fixed bio...
Abstract:
Abstract: In contrast to the roles played by monocytes/macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes, the presence and functions of basophils, mast cells/eosinophilic granule cells, eosinophils and rodlet cells in teleosts are areas of controversy. The tissue distr...
Abstract: In agreement with previous studies on Ia- tumor cells, evidence is presented that primary MLR of purified Lyt-2+ T cells to class I alloantigens can be elicited by a minor population of Thy 1- Ia- cells present in normal spleen, bone marrow, and day-...
Abstract: In this report we identify an accessory cell that interacts with primed and memory T cells at sites where they collaborate with B cells. These cells are distinguished from conventional dendritic cells by their lack of response to Flt3 ligand and thei...
