Surface proteomic analysis of differentiated versus stem-like osteosarcoma human cells.
2013
Cancer stem cell characterization represents a breakthrough in cancer research. Despite evidence showing the existence and the role of cancer stem cells in osteosarcoma (OS) onset and progression, little is known about their specific surface phenotype. To address this issue, we carried out a cytometric analysis with an antibody-array comprising 245 membrane proteins comparing the stem and differentiated OS cells. As experimental model, we chose the stem-like cell line 3aminobenzamide-OS and its parental, differentiated, cell line MG63. We identified 50 differentially expressed, 23 homogeneously expressed, and 172 not expressed proteins in the two cell line models, thus defining a surface pr…
Specificity and Restriction of T Cells in a System of Complementing Ir Genes
1983
The phenomenon of Ir gene control of immune responsiveness is intimately related to the fact that antigen-specific stimulation of T cells with the Lyt-1 surface phenotype requires the simultaneous recognition of both external antigen and Ia antigen on the surface of antigen-presenting cells. There is increasing evidence indicating that Ia antigens encoded for by the I-A and I-E/C subregions of the H-2 complex represent the products of Ir genes.
