Abstract
The authors have analyzed the involvement of V gamma and J gamma segments in TRG gamma rearrangement from a series of 40 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), including 25 T- and 15 B-lineage cases, in which TRG gamma are rearranged. Sixty-five rearranged alleles were studied. The authors first describe the cloning and sequencing of two variable segments, V gamma 11 and psi V gamma 12, which rearrange in T- and B-neoplastic cells. To date three subgroups of translatable V gamma segments have been described. The authors show that V gamma 11 is the unique member of a new fourth V gamma subgroup that also rearranges in normal polyclonal T cells and that psi V gamma 12 is located at 5-kilobase (kb) downstream to V gamma 11. As shown by DNA sequence analysis, V gamma 11 shares a 60% homology with V gamma 10 (third subgroup) and a 50% homology with V gamma 9 (second subgroup) but no appreciable homology with the V gamma segments from the first family. In contrast to psi V gamma 12, V gamma 11 is translatable. In this paper the authors have also attempted to determine which V gamma segments were rearranged in the ALL cases by hybridization with a J gamma probe and genomic probes specific of the four subgroups. In the 54 instances in which the rearrangement was consistent with J gamma 1 or J gamma 2 involvement, the authors have identified the corresponding V gamma segments and have not found any other rearrangements suggestive of the existence of further V regions. The V gamma segments, belonging to the first subgroup, were the most frequently used (41 alleles). V gamma 9, V gamma 10, V gamma 11, and psi V gamma 12 were found rearranged in cases 3, 4, 5, and 1, respectively. No cases using the pseudo psi V gamma 1, psi V gamma 5, and psi V gamma 6 segments were found. Pseudo V gamma segments were not found rearranged in T cells, while V gamma 2 and V gamma 4, segments are frequently used. In contrast to the V gamma I gene rearrangement, the involvement of the V gamma II, V gamma III, and V gamma IV subgroups was most frequently observed in T-ALL with stage II differentiation (CD7+, CD4+, and/or CD8+, CD3-), than in those with stage I (CD7+, CD4-, CD8-, CD3-), than in those with stage I (CD7+, CD4-, CD8-, CD3-) and stage III (CD7+, CD4+/-CD8+/-CD3+).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Over 100 workers exposed to trichloroethylene (TRI) mostly at less than 50 ppm during the production or vapor degreasing operation and about an equal number of the non-exposed control workers were examined for subjective symptoms, hematology, serum biochemistry, and sugar, protein and occult blood in urine. Essentially all the clinico-laboratory tests stayed normal, and there was no significant differences in the findings between the exposed and the controls. Thus, no clinically significant effects of TRI exposure were found in the blood and liver functions among the exposed workers as compared with the controls. The prevalence of the subjective symptoms was, however, significantly higher in the exposed group than in the controls, and dose-response relationship could be established in some selected symptoms such as nausea, heavy feeling in the head, forgetfulness, tremor in extremities, cramp in extremities and dry mouth, although the exposure was low. The findings warrant further attention to the effects of TRI especially on the central nervous system at the concentration lower than e.g., 50 ppm.

Abstract
Six patients with Philadelphia-positive (Ph1+) acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) were studied by morphological, immunological, cytogenetic, and molecular techniques. Seven Ph1+ acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) cases were also studied for comparison. Three of ANLL cases were classified in M1, M2, and M4 groups of the FAB nomenclature, while the three other cases do not fit with any FAB subgroup and are described as M0. Immunophenotypical marker studies, double immunolabeling, and combined immunological and cytogenetic studies of metaphases showed that these ANLL expressed several lineage differentiation antigens. Rearrangements of immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (C mu) were detected in the six ANLL cases and in the seven ALL cases studied, as well as, in most cases, rearrangement of T cell receptor beta chain genes and/or T cell rearranging gamma genes. The results favored the assumption that the Ph1 translocation originated from a multipotent stem cell in Ph1+ ANLL. A common t(9;22) translocation was found in all cases, and additional chromosomal abnormalities were present in the six ANLL cases and in five of the seven ALL cases. Molecular studies of bcr gene configuration and c-abl transcription allowed two groups of Ph1+ ANLL to be distinguished. Three cases had bcr rearrangement and c-abl mRNA expression comparable to those reported in Ph1+ chronic myeloid leukemia, while three others had not detectable bcr rearrangement and a 7.2-7.5 kb c-abl mRNA. The existence of Ph1+ ALL with and without classical bcr rearrangement was confirmed.

Abstract
The 69-12Q mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii lacks ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase activity, but retains holoenzyme protein. It results from a mutation in the chloroplast large-subunit gene that causes an isoleucine-for-threonine substitution at amino-acid residue 173. Considering that lysine-175 is involved in catalysis, it appears that mutations cluster at the active site.

Abstract
High resolution computed tomographic (HRCT) examinations were performed in 14 patients with clinically suspected fractures of the temporal bone (TBF). HRCT were performed previously by a sophisticated, but not the latest, generation CT scanner. No fractures were demonstrated. The patients were re-examined by the latest generation CT scanner which demonstrated unilateral hair-line longitudinal fractures of the petrous bone in all of the patients. All the cases were associated with partial aeration of the mastoid cells on the affected side. The importance of this symptom is discussed.

Abstract
Splenectomy was performed on 152 patients with thalassemia (thal), including 90 cases with Hb H disease, 48 cases with homozygous beta-thal, and 14 cases with Hb E-beta-thal. The therapeutic effect in Hb H disease was 83.3%, and 32.3% in Hb E-beta-thal and beta-thal. In Hb H disease, the hemoglobin (Hb) level increased 30 g/l in 14 of 29 cases. After splenectomy, the life-span (T1/2) of 51Cr RBC in Hb H and Hb E-beta-thal increased to 18.2 +/- 2.6 and 18.2 days, respectively. The number of inclusion (Heinz) bodies attached to the RBC membrane increased after surgery. The interdermal delayed supersensitivity reaction became negative in seven of 26 cases of Hb H disease; the IgG also decreased after surgery. The number of PAS positive foam cells in the spleen correlated to Hb level after surgery. Infection is a common complication.

Abstract
Rearrangement and in most cases expression of the T cell rearranging genes gamma (TRG gamma) and T cell antigen receptor beta chain (TCR beta) genes were studied in 19 cases of T cell acute malignancies where the surface phenotype is representative of the different stages of thymic maturation. TCR alpha gene transcription was also studied. TRG gamma and TCR beta genes were found to be rearranged in all but one case. The TRG gamma rearrangement pattern seen in most cases is compatible with biallelic rearrangement by loop excision involving the J gamma 2 regions. The sizes of all but two rearranged bands were identical to those of the rearranged bands seen in polyclonal T lymphocytes also studied in this work. One identical-sized band was found in 11 of the 18 rearranged cases. The expression of TRG gamma mRNA (transcripts of 1.6 kilobases [kb]) was highly variable from case to case and did not correlate with the stage of differentiation of the malignant cells, the expression of the molecules CD4 and CD8, the expression and size of the transcripts of the TCR beta genes, and the transcription of TCR alpha genes. In one CD3 + case, strong expression of the TRG gamma transcripts coexisted with the exclusive presence of TCR beta mRNA of 1.0 kb. The cells from this case did not react with anti-Ti antibody and exhibited no natural killer activity. These findings are suggestive of a malignancy that may express the recently isolated CD3-TRG gamma complex.

Abstract
Rapid in vivo growth of cultured human cancer or leukemia cells was achieved by implantation into the subrenal capsule of mice. A solid structure, necessary for accurate implantation and measurement of tumor growth in this model, was provided by stepwise addition of fibrinogen and thrombin to the tumor cells, leading to rapid enzymatic formation of a solid tumor-fibrin matrix. Human leukemia and epithelial cancers increased in volume between 6- and 40-fold when measured 6-10 days after implantation into normal or immunosuppressed mice. Immunosuppression of host CD-1 mice was achieved by cyclosporine given daily after tumor implantation, cyclophosphamide given preimplantation combined with cyclosporine, or whole-body irradiation given preimplantation. Confirming the validity of tumor measurements, tumor histology in the immunosuppressed mice revealed cell proliferation, invasion, and neovascularization. Similarly, no artifactual measurement of tumor growth was observed by nonviable cancer cells, implanted after in vitro exposure to a known cytotoxic concentration of thiotepa. This model provides an economical, short-term technique for the in vivo study of human tumor growth, for the evaluation of new cancer therapies, and for in vitro - in vivo drug activity correlations in specific types of human cancer or leukemia cell lines.

Abstract
T cell rearranging gene gamma (TRG gamma) and T cell antigen receptor beta (TCR beta) chain gene rearrangement and transcription were studied in a series of patients with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), in which the Ig H chain genes are rearranged and the surface phenotype reproduces the stages of normal pre-B maturation. For comparison, polyclonal T cells from peripheral blood of healthy donors and blast cells from 19 cases of T lineage ALL were also studied. In this study we demonstrate the presence of a clonal rearrangement of the TRG gamma in 18 of the 22 B-lineage ALL cases and establish that this rearrangement, which generally involves the J gamma 1 region, is often monoallelic and appears different from the biallelic J gamma 2 rearrangement frequently seen in T-cell ALLs. In 9 of 22 cases, we found rearrangement of the genes of the TCR beta chain, which never involved the J beta 1 region. Conversely, the TRG gamma were seen in germline configuration in all 19 cases of B chronic lymphoid malignancies. In none of the 9 AML cases studied was TRG gamma and TCR beta chain gene rearrangement found. The TCR beta chain genes were rearranged in one B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We also show that in B-lineage ALL, the cells probably use the same V gamma genes for TRG gamma rearrangements as the malignant cells in T-ALL and the polyclonal T cells. In none of the 13 B-lineage ALL cases investigated by Northern analysis was TCR beta mRNA expression detected, whereas a weak expression of TRG gamma transcripts was found in two of these cases. The correlations between surface phenotype, rearrangement of TRG gamma, TCR beta, and Ig H chain genes were analyzed. The significance of rearrangement of TRG gamma and TCR beta chain genes in B or pre-B cells is also discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
The findings presented in this study provide evidence that BSF1 receptors and mIg transmit signals via dissimilar transduction mechanisms that result in a common biologic response, hyper-Ia expression. Specifically, BSF1-containing supernatant does not induce PtdInsP2 hydrolysis as determined by measurement of PtdOH and InsP3. Additionally, BSF1 does not stimulate Ca2+ mobilization, PKC translocation from cytosol to membrane, or membrane depolarization. All of these metabolic events appear to play a central role in hyper-Ia expression mediated by mIg and are initiated after treatment of resting B cells with anti-Ig antibodies. In vitro phosphorylation studies with partially purified plasma membranes from resting B cells revealed that BSF1 interaction with membrane receptors stimulates a membrane-associated protein kinase that phosphorylates an endogenous protein of 44 KDa. Anti-Ig does not stimulate phosphorylation of the 44 KDa protein, suggesting that it does not activate the membrane-associated protein kinase. This observation provides the first evidence of a signal transduction mechanism associated with BSF1-receptor ligation. It indicates that although BSF1 does not modulate events associated with PKC activation, it may function via activation of a membrane-associated protein kinase. This provides a focal point for further studies directed at elucidating signal transduction resulting from BSF1-receptor interaction.

Abstract
The findings presented in this study provide evidence that BSF1 receptors and mIg transmit signals via dissimilar transduction mechanisms that result in a common biologic response, hyper-Ia expression. Specifically, BSF1-containing supernatant does not induce PtdInsP2 hydrolysis as determined by measurement of PtdOH and InsP3. Additionally, BSF1 does not stimulate Ca2+ mobilization, PKC translocation from cytosol to membrane, or membrane depolarization. All of these metabolic events appear to play a central role in hyper-Ia expression mediated by mIg and are initiated after treatment of resting B cells with anti-Ig antibodies. In vitro phosphorylation studies with partially purified plasma membranes from resting B cells revealed that BSF1 interaction with membrane receptors stimulates a membrane-associated protein kinase that phosphorylates an endogenous protein of 44 KDa. Anti-Ig does not stimulate phosphorylation of the 44 KDa protein, suggesting that it does not activate the membrane-associated protein kinase. This observation provides the first evidence of a signal transduction mechanism associated with BSF1-receptor ligation. It indicates that although BSF1 does not modulate events associated with PKC activation, it may function via activation of a membrane-associated protein kinase. This provides a focal point for further studies directed at elucidating signal transduction resulting from BSF1-receptor interaction.

Abstract
Phenylhydrazine-induced oxidative damage in red cells results in increased binding of merocyanine 540, a fluorescence probe sensitive to changes in lipid packing. Fluorescence polarization studies with diphenylhexatriene did not reveal major changes in order parameters both in intact red cells and lysates treated with phenylhydrazine. These fluorescence studies indicate that major changes are observed in membrane lipids. Analytical studies of membrane phospholipids revealed a significant decrease in phosphatidylethanolamine. The results of the fluorescence and lipid studies, taken in association with our previously reported findings on spectrin and other cytoskeletal protein degradation in red cells exposed to phenylhydrazine, suggests that degradation of cytoskeleton membrane proteins is also responsible for changes in the lipid bilayer surface of the red cell membrane.

Abstract
The recently introduced frog olfactory cilia preparation (Chen and Lancet, 1984; Pace et al., 1985) has been useful for studies of molecular chemosensory mechanisms. Here we describe in detail the properties of this cilia preparation. The "calcium shock" procedure leads to a complete removal of the cilia from the olfactory epithelial surface. Isolated cilia constitute segments of proximal regions with 9 X 2 + 2 microtubular arrangement and a large proportion of membrane vesicles, probably derived from the ciliary distal segments. Polypeptides unique to the olfactory cilia preparation, compared to a control preparation of palate respiratory cilia, are identified by Coomassie brilliant blue staining, silver staining, and radiolabeled lectin overlays, as well as by biosynthetic labeling with 35S-methionine in epithelial explants and protein phosphorylation in isolated cilia. The olfactory cilia preparation contains odorant-sensitive adenylate cyclase, which is absent in control membranes from deciliated epithelium. High activities of tyrosine and serine/threonine protein kinases are also present. The olfactory cilia preparation described should be instrumental in the further elucidation of the biochemistry and molecular biology of vertebrate olfaction.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies were produced against isolated frog olfactory cilia, a preparation enriched in dendritic extensions of the chemosensory neurons. Two antibodies, 18.1 and 35.6, were found to react against specific glycoproteins of the sensory organelles. These glycoproteins were identified by their differential binding to the lectins wheat germ agglutinin and Concanavalin A. The antibodies fluorescently labeled isolated olfactory cilia, as well as the ciliary surface layer of olfactory epithelium, whose extent was defined by anti-tubulin and anti-keratin antibodies. Respiratory epithelium (or other tissues) as well as isolated respiratory cilia were not labeled by antibodies 18.1 and 35.6, indicating tissue specificity. The olfactory-specific antibodies can be used as markers of the sensory epithelium and of the sensory regions of olfactory dendritic membranes. Antibody 18.1 recognized gp95, a specific and major integral membrane glycoprotein of frog olfactory cilia. Since gp95 has been suggested as candidate olfactory receptor protein (Chen, Z. and Lancet, D., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 81 (1984) 1859-1863), antibody 18.1 could also be useful for functional studies.

Abstract
Inserting an array of nearly 100 similar lenses into a common focal system, the uniformity of the illumination of a target can evidently be improved without being affected by the near-field distribution of laser beams. We report here geometrical- and physical-optics analyses of the lens array and compare them with the experimental results.

Abstract
Polypeptide gp95 is a major glycoprotein present in preparations of isolated ciliary extensions from frog olfactory sensory neurons (Chen, Z., and Lancet, D. (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 81, 1859-1863). We report here that gp95 is distinct among the ciliary polypeptides in having several properties that make it a plausible receptor candidate: it is specific to olfactory cilia, it has the appropriate bilayer density, and it is a transmembrane protein. Polypeptide gp95 has a uniquely high content of complex type oligosaccharides compared to other ciliary glycoproteins, a property which is used for its partial purification and can also serve as a probe for functional identification. The present biochemical characterization of frog gp95 and of its putative homologs from other species may open the way to a future assignment of its role in chemosensory reception.

Abstract
Mononuclear blood cells from 19 patients with psoriasis were stained with a panel of monoclonal antibodies which detect total T lymphocytes, their helper/inducer and suppressor/cytotoxic subsets and Ia-positive lymphocytes and monocytes. Fluorescence-positive cells were enumerated by cell flow cytometry. In these patients, percentages of all mononuclear cell studies were within reference range with few, sporadic exceptions. Statistical analysis of data showed no significant differences between patient values and reference values from a panel of 100 normal subjects.

Abstract
For 60 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) immunological typing was done concurrently by the avidin-biotin-peroxidase method using cytocentrifuged smears and by flow cytofluorometry for the study of surface antigens. The use of a large panel of antibodies detecting differentiation antigens allowed us to sub-classify 57/60 cases as 43 B-lineage ALLs and 14 T-lineage ALLs. The two types of ALL can be accurately distinguished by the expression of the antigens recognized by the antibodies of the clusters of differentiation CD19 (B4) and CD7 (Leu 9). Almost perfect agreement was obtained between the results of the two methods for antigens DR, CD10 (cALLA;J5) and CD7. A number of discordances were observed with other antigens [CD19 (B4), CD20 (B1), CD22 (To15), CD1 (T6), CD2 (T11), CD4 (T4), CD8 (T8), CD3 (T3), T9, T10]. In spite of these discordances, the avidin-biotin-peroxidase method can predict the lineage involved in most ALLs with a high degree of reliability. Nevertheless, for weakly expressed surface antigens (such as B4 and B1) the immunocytological method is less sensitive than flow cytofluorometry and can only approximately determine the stage of differentiation of neoplastic cells. Furthermore, the existence of cases which are at the same time negative with flow cytofluorometry and positive with immunocytology is consistent with the intracytoplasmic expression of certain differentiation antigens. Thus in the course of lymphoid differentiation, intra-cytoplasmic expression of T3, To15 and possibly J5 precedes their expression at the cell surface.

Abstract
Three skin biopsies (proximal nailfold, extensor forearm and buttock) and serum samples were studied by direct and indirect immunofluorescence, immunodiffusion and radioimmunoassay techniques in 6 patients with dermatomyositis. A variety of serologic and immunopathologic abnormalities was observed in the patients. Three of 6 patients had antinuclear antibodies (ANA) of a speckled pattern mixed with a peculiar dot pattern. Epidermal intercellular deposits of immunoglobulins were seen in the nailfold biopsies of 2 patients; one of them also had IgG deposits in the cytoplasm of epidermal cells. Forearm and buttock biopsies were negative.

Abstract
An IgG1 monoclonal antibody, termed ACM-1, has been shown to react with rabbit T cells, but not Ig+ cells or macrophages. This antibody appears to recognize the same epitope as the previously described 9AE10 antibody and, together with 9AE10, has been used to obtain highly pure and fully functional T- and B-cell populations. However, the relevant epitope does not appear to be homologous to rodent Thy-1 since quantitative absorptions failed to show reactivity with rabbit brain. Furthermore, attempts to obtain in vivo T-cell depletion resulted in larger decreases in white blood cells than would be expected for simple T-cell removal. In vitro assays on enriched neutrophil preparations revealed that 80-95% of these cells were reactive with ACM-1 and 9AE10. Thus, it appears that in the rabbit, T cells and neutrophils share a major epitope.
