Abstract
OBJECT The reliable assessment of the invasiveness of gliomas in vitro has proved elusive, because most invasion assays inadequately model in vivo invasion in its complexity. Recently, organotypical brain cultures were successfully used in short-term invasion studies on glioma cell lines. In this paper the authors report that the invasiveness of human glioma biopsy specimens directly implanted into rodent brain slices by using the intraslice implantation system (ISIS) can be quantified with precision. The model was first validated by the demonstration that, in long-term studies, established glioma cells survive in the ISIS and follow pathways of invasion similar to those in vivo. METHODS Brain slices (400 microm thick) from newborn mice were maintained on millicell membranes for 15 days. Cells from two human and one rodent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cell lines injected into the ISIS were detected by immunohistochemistry or after transfection with green fluorescent protein-containing vectors. Preferential migration along blood vessels was identified using confocal and fluorescent microscopy. Freshly isolated (< or = 24 hours after removal) 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate-prelabeled human glioma biopsy specimens were successfully implanted in 19 (83%) of 23 cases, including 12 GBMs and seven lower grade gliomas (LGGs). Morphometric quantification of distance and density of tumor cell invasion showed that the GBMs were two to four times more invasive than the LGGs. Heterogeneity of invasion was also observed among GBMs and LGGs. Directly implanted glioma fragments were more invasive than spheroids derived from the same biopsy specimen. CONCLUSIONS The ISIS combines a high success rate, technical simplicity, and detailed quantitative measurements and may, therefore, be used to study the invasiveness of biopsy specimens of gliomas of different grades.

Abstract
A novel retroviral vector has been designed based on a Friend-murine leukemia virus (Fr-MuLV) FB29 strain. The latter has been selected according to characteristics of pathogenicity in mice where it induces a disease of the haemopoietic system affecting all lineages. Higher infectivity has also been demonstrated as compared to other strains. In accordance with these findings, the amphotropic producer clone used in this study carrying along the neomycine resistance gene (FOCH-Neo), harbors viral titers over 10(7) cfu/ml. To investigate the potential of genetically engineering hematopoietic precursors, CD34+ progenitors were selected from cord blood, bone marrow, and peripheral blood mobilized stem cells (patients + solid tumors) and transduced with FOCH-Neo. High transduction rates were achieved using virus supernatant and minimal doses of hematopoietic growth factors during pretransduction and transduction steps. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay investigating the presence of both neomycin-encoding and viral vector sequences tested positive in 45-90% of granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GM) generating cells (bone marrow and peripheral blood derived cells) following transduction. An average of 35% colonies showed resistance to G418. Such levels of transduction proved reproducible using only supernatants harboring over 10(7) cfu/ml. In those experiments where long-term in vitro cultures could be maintained over 5 weeks (all cord blood and 5 among 23 PBSC), efficient transduction of long-term culture initiating cell (LTC-IC) hematopoietic progenitors was demonstrated on the basis of both resistance to G418 and virus integration. In the latter case, the PCR assay tested positive in as much as 35-60% of late unselected CFU-colonies. This novel retroviral vector harbors interesting features toward genetic modification of hematopoietic progenitors.

Abstract
We obtained a cell line (So1) from a patient who rejected a T-depleted allogeneic BMT. Cytotoxic activity by cell-mediated lympholysis was found using So1 as effector and EBV-transformed donor B cells as targets, but no lysis of the patient's pretransplantation cells and of an unrelated HLA-nonidentical subject was observed, suggesting it was related to recognition of a minor transplantation antigen which could have contributed to rejection of the graft. To define the HLA-restricting element(s), cell-mediated lympholysis experiments were performed with several B cell lines as targets. So1 lysed only targets sharing an HLA-B44 antigen with the patient, thus demonstrating that the minor transplantation antigen recognized was restricted by HLA-B44. The absence of lysis against the patient's pretransplantation cells may be related to the absence of the minor antigen, suggesting that the patient's cytotoxic lymphocytes able to recognize a minor transplantation antigen on the donor cells contributed to the rejection of the HLA-identical graft. Mendelian segregation of this minor antigen was found in familial studies. Lysis was observed with cells from members of 2 families who had an association of HLA-B44 antigen in the haplotype and the minor antigen, whereas in 2 other HLA-B44-positive families, no lysis was found, probably because this minor antigen was absent. Furthermore, these family studies: (1) demonstrated that this minor antigen segregates with the MHC, suggesting its localization on chromosome 6; and (2) showed a close relationship between the minor antigen and HLA-B44, strongly suggesting a linkage disequilibrium between the minor antigen and its restriction antigen B44.

Abstract
The proximal spinal muscular atrophies (SMA) represent the second most common autosomal recessive disorder, after cystic fibrosis. The gene responsible for chronic SMA has recently been mapped to chromosome 5q by using genetic linkage studies. Among six markers mapping to this region, five were shown to be linked with the SMA locus in 39 chronic SMA families each containing at least two affected individuals. Multilocus analysis by the method of location score was used to establish the best estimate of the SMA gene location. Our data suggest that the most likely location for SMA is between loci D5S6 and D5S39. The genetic distances between these two markers are estimated to be 6.4 cM in males and 11.9 cM in females. Since meiosis were informative with D5S39 and D5S6 in 92% and 87% of SMA families, respectively, it is hoped that the present study will contribute to the calculation of genetic risk in SMA families.

Abstract
A cosmid clone bearing an HLA class I gene has been isolated from a human genomic library by hybridization to a class I-specific probe. This clone encodes the HLA-A26 molecule characterized by immunologic reagents on murine transfected L cells. Nucleotide sequencing of the A26 allele has been performed, and the deduced amino acid sequence was compared with previously published HLA class I sequences. Amino acid sequence homologies between HLA-A26 molecules and members of the HLA-AW19 cross-reactive group were observed and allowed us to demonstrate that residue Q144 is the only critical residue involved in the binding of the 4E monoclonal antibody defining an epitope common to all HLA-B, -C, and -Aw19 alleles. This study also permitted designation of a V residue at position 189 in the third domain as possibly involved in the binding of the B1-23-2 monoclonal antibody. Furthermore, we located clusters of variability in reference to the three-dimensional structure of the HLA-A molecules, i.e., the ninth residue of the first beta-strand domain, the upper surface of the first helical region, and both beta and alpha structures of the alpha 2 domain.

Abstract
Seven lymphocyte populations were expanded from skin samples of patients with acute or chronic GVHD following allogeneic genotypically identical BMT. After amplification without in vitro antigenic stimulation or addition of mitogens, 5 of the 7 cell lines showed a large majority of mature CD4+ T cells (in contrast to published immunopathological data). One cell line showed an equal number of CD4+ and CD8+ cells, and another a predominance of CD4+ cells along with a large number of cells with a phenotype suggestive of non-MHC-restricted CTLs. After in vitro antigenic stimulation, various cytotoxicity patterns were seen: specific antihost cytotoxicity was seen in half the cell lines, NK activity was seen in 5 of the 7 lines, and a strong LAK activity was seen in 1 of the 7 cell lines. These results point to a diversity of cytotoxic effectors involved locally in GVHD and emphasize the need for further study of these local events. The cell lines established now constitute basic functional material for the in vitro study of cellular and humoral interactions at the site of GVHD lesions.

Abstract
In all eukaryotes, myosin plays a major role in the maintenance of cell shape and in cellular movement; in association with actin and other contractile proteins it is also a major structural component of the muscle sarcomere. Several isoforms of myosin alkali light chain have been identified, associated with different muscle types. We have recently localized the gene encoding the fast skeletal muscle alkali light-chain isoforms MLC1F and MLC3F (HGM symbol, MYL1) to human chromosome 2q32.1-qter (Cohen-Haguenauer 1988). We present here the chromosomal assignment of two loci encoding the ventricular muscle isoform MLC1V (equivalent to the slow skeletal muscle isoform MLC1Sb) and the atrial muscle isoform MLC1A (equivalent to the fetal isoform MLC1emb) using a panel of 25 independent man-rodent somatic cell hybrids. The MLC1V gene (HGM symbol, MYL3) was mapped to human chromosome 3 using a human full-length cDNA probe that hybridizes to a single major human TaqI2.8-kb fragment. The MLC1A probe (HGM symbol, MYL4) was a 360-bp mouse cDNA fragment that gave a distinct signal with human DNA using low stringency conditions of hybridization and washings and after presaturation of the Southern blots with rodent DNA. A single PstI 7.8-kb fragment gives an intense signal, and its presence correlates with the presence of chromosome 17 among the hybrids. These data are in keeping with the localizations of the MLC1V gene to mouse chromosome 9, and of the MLC1A gene to mouse chromosome 11, which share some markers in common with human chromosomes 3 and 17 respectively.

Abstract
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor of skeletal muscle (CHRN in man, Acr in mouse) is a transmembrane protein composed of four different subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) assembled into the pentamer alpha 2 beta gamma delta. These subunits are encoded by separate genes which derive from a common ancestral gene by duplication. We have used a murine full-length 1,900-bp-long cDNA encoding the gamma subunit subcloned into M 13 (clone gamma 18) to prepare single-stranded probes for hybridization to EcoRI-digested DNA from a panel of human x rodent somatic cell hybrids. Using conditions of low stringency to favor cross-species hybridization, and prehybridization with rodent DNA to prevent rodent background, we detected a single major human band of 30-40 kb. The pattern of segregation of this 30-40 kb band correlated with the segregation of human chromosome 2 within the panel and the presence of a chromosomal translocation in the distal part of the long arm of this t(X;2)(p22;q32.1) chromosome allowing the localization of the gamma subunit gene (CHRNG) to 2q32----qter. The human genes encoding the gamma and delta subunits have been shown to be contained in an EcoRI restriction fragment of approximately 20 kb (Shibahara et al., 1985). Consequently, this study also maps the delta subunit gene (CHRND) to human chromosome 2q32.1----qter. In the mouse, the Acrd and Acrg genes have been shown to be linked to Idh-1, Mylf (IDH1 and MYL1 in humans, respectively) and to the gene encoding villin on chromosome 1. Interestingly, we have recently localized the human MYL1 gene to the same chromosomal fragment of human chromosome 2. These results clearly demonstrate a region of chromosomal homoeology between mouse chromosome 1 and human chromosome 2.

Abstract
The human major histocompatibility complex is a multigene family containing at least 20 class I genes. Included within this family are the loci encoding the highly polymorphic HLA-A, -B, and -C antigens present at the surface of most nucleated cells. The large number of genes detected with class I probes by Southern blot analysis and the existence of serological reagents defining nonubiquitous, non-HLA-A,B,C class I antigens suggest that products other than HLA-A,B,C antigens are encoded within the class I gene family. These products might be the human counterparts of the murine Qa and TL antigens. In order to identify non-HLA-A,B,C genes, we have developed a probe, JF11, located in noncoding regions flanking the HLA-A locus. This probe detects only a limited number of class I genes and does not detect HLA-A,B,C-associated restriction fragments on Southern blots. This probe was used to screen a human cosmid library. Some of the cosmids isolated with this probe were then transferred into mouse fibroblasts expressing human beta 2-microglobulin. One of the transfectants specifically reacts with one alloantiserum (HA2) that detects HLA class I molecules specific to HLA-A2-positive, phytohemagglutinin-activated T cells and not found on resting T or B cells. Data presented in this paper provide evidence for the isolation and expression of a class I gene encoding a nonubiquitous class I antigen that could be a human analogue of the murine Qa antigens.

Abstract
The clone TA10 is a T3+ T4+ T8- proliferative and cytolytic human T cell clone. This clone has been shown to be specific for the hemagglutinin of influenza A Texas virus and restricted by an HLA class II molecule associated with the DRw8-Dw8.1 phenotype. Here we show that TA10 and all of its subclones can also react with eight HLA-DRw8 negative, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed cell lines or phytohemagglutinin blasts in the absence of influenza antigens. All of these cell lines are HLA-DR2/DR4 with a classic DR2 long haplotype. The only nonreactive HLA-DR2/DR4 cell line observed bears a DR2 short haplotype. Only heterozygous HLA-DR2/DR4 but not parental DR2 or DR4 EBV-transformed cell lines can be recognized by TA10, indicating that the cross-reacting determinant is a transcomplementation product between HLA-DR2 and HLA-DR4 haplotypes. DR-specific, but not DQ- or DP-specific monoclonal antibodies, inhibit in the proliferation assay and in the chromium release test both the DRw8-Dw8.1-restricted and the anti-DR2/DR4 reactions. These results show that HLA-DR-restricted, anti-viral human T cell clone can evidence cross-reactivity for allospecific class II molecules of the major histocompatibility complex, and human CTL can recognize transcomplementation products of class II HLA genes. In addition, the results suggest that a beta-chain coded for by an HLA-DR gene and associated with an alpha-chain coded for by a still unidentified but possibly HLA-DQ gene constitute this functional transcomplementation product.
