The effect of 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) and alpha-thioglycerol (alpha TG) on proliferation and polyclonal activation of lymphocytes was studied in cultures of spleen cells from C3H mice. Inclusion in serum-free or serum-containing medium of the optimal concentration (5 x 10(-5) M) of either 2-ME or alpha TG resulted in highly significant uptake and incorporation of tritiated thymidine ([3H]TdR) into DNA and in morphological blast transformation. These phenomena were dose-dependent, with both lower and higher doses causing less marked effects. The kinetic peak of these responses was found to occur at day 3 of culture. Improved cellular viability could not explain these results, because by day 3 there was no significant difference in viability between cells cultured in the presence or absence of 2-ME. 2-ME evoked a proliferative response in cultures of congenitally athymic (nu/nu) spleen cells that exhibited a similar but lower dose-response profile compared with that of heterozygous (nu/+) ...

AU - Hay, Frances G AU - Leonard, R C. AU - Wolf, C Roland. PY - 1986/7/1. Y1 - 1986/7/1. N2 - cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum (cis-platinum) is an effective and widely used antitumor drug. Patients receiving cis-platinum, however, experience very profound and long lasting gastrointestinal symptoms. The role of intestinal mucosal toxicity in the pathogenesis of these symptoms is unclear. In this study we have investigated the thiol-containing compound mesna (sodium-2-mercaptoethanesulfonate) as a potential antidote to cis-platinum-induced gastrointestinal tract damage. In mice, mesna caused a significant reduction in the gastrointestinal toxicity of cis-platinum assessed by electron microscopy, villus recovery rate, and by disaccharidase estimations. Mesna also significantly reduced serum creatinine levels ...

DISCUSSION. It has been well established that non-covalent interactions can occur between proteins and polysaccharides in a complex manner [11, 12]. In the preparation of LMWH-SOD conjugate, high pH value and high ionic strength were adopted to minimize the non-covalent interactions and the effects of these measures could be satisfactorily evaluated by electrophoresis.. As illustrated in Fig. 1b, SDS-PAGE of LMWH-SOD conjugate gave two major bands corresponding to 16 and 32 kD molecular weight. In contrast, the LMWH/SOD mixture showed the same banding pattern as unmodified SOD, with one band at 16 kD (Figs. 1c and 1a). According to the molecular structure of SOD, the protein band of 16 kD was the subunit of SOD and 32 kD was the intact SOD molecule. Moreover, enzymatic activity assay revealed that LMWH-SOD conjugate pretreated with mercaptoethanol for 5 min at 100°N before electrophoresis still retained enzymatic activity, but the unmodified SOD and LMWH/SOD mixture lost their enzymatic ...

p,Serum specimens from 12 patients with type A hepatitis were analyzed for immunoglobulin M-type antibody to hepatitis A virus (IgM anti-HA). A recently developed solid-phase radioimmunoassay kit for IgM anti-HA (HAVAB-M, Abbott Laboratories) and a competitive binding radioimmunoassay kit (HAVAB, Abbott Laboratories) with or without 2-mercaptoethanol treatment, as modified by Yano et al. (Acta Hepatol. Jpn. 21, 704-712, 1980) were used to obtain an M-index. All specimens obtained within 60 days of the onset of illness and specimens from 2 of 4 patients later than 60 days after the onset were positive with the HAVAB-M test. This test gave negative results to sera which were positive for anti-HA by a standard HAVAB test in the following: 3 patients with type B hepatitis; 5 with non-A, non-B hepatitis; 11 healthy adults; and 10 sera strongly positive for rheumatoid factor.

Mice were subjected to x-rays (950 roentgens) and injected with isogeneic (isologous) or allogeneic (homnologous) bone marrow. Six to 8 months later these chimeras were injected with Salmonella typhi flagellar antigen, and the formation of antibodies resistant and sensitive to destruction by treatment in vitro with 2-mercaptoethanol was determined. The allogeneic chimeras showed almost normal amounts of serumn antibody after a third injection of antigen but a relative defect in their ability to synthesize antibody resistant to 2-mercaptoethanol. Apparently control of antibody formation becomes abnormal in the presence of the immunologic tolerance existing between the host and the foreign hematopoietic graft. ...

AB : A ` particulate ` invertase preparation of low activity (sedimenting in the 900 g fraction) was extracted from the stalk and mesocarp tissues of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.). The activity o invertase was found to increase linearly with the time of incubation (0 - 3h). Initial velocity was directly proportional to enzyme concentration, only in the low concentration ranges. The initial velocity decreased at enzyme concentrations higher than 0.13 mg protein per 2.0 ml of incubation mixture. Treatment of the particulate enzyme with 0.1 present and 0.5 present (v/v) of the nonionic surface active agent, Triton X - 100, solubilized 71 percent and 76 percent of the invertase. Incorporation of the non-acidic thiol, mercaptoethanol into the reaction mixture, caused significant activation of the invertase. This suggested the possibility of an SH group participating in the catalytic activity of the enzyme. In addition, mercaptoethanol may cause enzyme reactivation by reducing the quinones formed by the ...

It is formed from the oxidation of two cysteine molecules, which results in the formation of a disulfide bond. In cell biology, cystine residues (found in proteins) only exist in non-reductive (oxidative) organelles, such as the secretory pathway (ER, Golgi, lysosomes, and vesicles) and extracellular spaces (e.g., ECM). Under reductive conditions (in the cytoplasm, nucleus, etc.) cysteine is predominant. The disulfide link is readily reduced to give the corresponding thiol cysteine. Typical thiols for this reaction are mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol: ...

FHL124 cells were seeded onto 35-mm plastic culture dishes at a density of 35,000 cells per dish and grown until approximately 70% confluent. At this time point, the medium was removed from each dish and replaced with 1.5 mL serum-free EMEM for 24 hours before placing the cells in experimental conditions for a further 24 hours. One dish was used per experimental condition; the experiment was carried out on four separate occasions. A microarray platform was selected to provide a comprehensive view of the gene activity under the different conditions. To achieve this, the commercially available Human-HT12.v4 Expression Bead Chip (BD-25-113; Illumina, San Diego, CA) array platform was used. RNA was extracted from FHL124 cells using an RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen Ltd., Crawley, UK). The monolayer of cells was lysed by adding 350 μL buffer RLT containing 2-β-mercaptoethanol, to each culture dish. The cell lysate was collected using a cell scraper. The cell lysate was then transferred into a sterile ...

Membranes of chromaffin granules were isolated from the adrenal glands of four different species. The solubilized membrane proteins could be resolved into several bands by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis (alkaline and acid gel systems). Two major protein components appeared to be common to the chromaffin granule membranes of ox, horse, pig and man. The various membrane proteins of bovine chromaffin granules were separated by filtration on Sephadex G-200 in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. Two major membrane proteins (A and B) were obtained in purified form. Treatment of protein A with 2-mercaptoethanol before electrophoresis resulted in two more rapidly migrating subunits, whereas protein B was unaffected by mercaptoethanol treatment. The amino acid compositions of the two purified proteins were determined. They are very similar to that of the total membrane proteins but significantly different from that of the chromogranins, the soluble proteins of chromaffin granules.. ...

The purified enzyme hydrolysed phenylazobenzyloxycarbonyl-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro-D-Arg, 2,4-dinitrophenyl-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro-Trp-D-Lys. 7-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylyl-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro-D-(2,4-dinitropheny l)Lys, benzoyl-Gly-Ala-Ala-Phe-p-aminobenzoate, Ac-Ala4 (at the Ala-1-Ala-2 bond) and bradykinin (at the Phe-5-Ser-6 bond). No hydrolysis of proteins was detected. Loss of activity in the presence of EDTA or 1,10-phenanthroline was time-dependent. Metal ions found to restore activity after treatment with EDTA were Zn2+, Mn2+, Ca2+, Co2+ and Cd2+, in decreasing order of effectiveness. Ni2+, Fe2+ and higher concentrations of Zn2+ were inhibitory. Inhibition by N-[1-(RS)-carboxy-3-phenylpropyl]-Ala-Ala-Tyr-p-aminobenzoate and related compounds showed Ki values (down to 5 nM) somewhat lower than those for the rat enzyme. Pz-peptidase was activated by low concentrations of 2-mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol, but inhibited by ...

For CF® dye, cyanine dye, FITC, biotin, DNP, and dig Mix-n-Stain™ kits, sodium azide, EDTA, small sugars, and ,10% glycerol have no effect on the labeling. Higher levels of glycerol, or any level of DTT, 2-mercaptoethanol or free amino acids (such as glycine) should be removed using the ultrafiltration vial provided in the kit. See the Product Protocol for more information.. Note that Mix-n-Stain™ Maxi 1 mg Scale Kits, Mix-n-Stain™ Fluorescent Protein Labeling Kits (R-PE, APC, PerCP, or tandem dye), Mix-n-Stain™ Enzyme Labeling Kits (AP, HRP, GOx) have different compatibility requirements and labeling protocols. Check the protocol for your kit to verify that your antibody is compatible with labeling, then choose a kit size that matches your the amount of antibody you wish to label..

Potassium permanganate treatment: 8x10^7 cells were washed with PBS at 37C and then resuspended in 15mM TRis-HCl, pH 7.5, 60mM KCl, 15mM NaCl, 5mM MgCl2, 300mM sucrose. Cells were then treated with 40mM KMnO4 for 70 seconds at 37C. The reaction was quenched by addition of EDTA, β-mercaptoethanol, SDS and RNase-DNase free to final concentrations of 50mM, 700mM, 1% (w/v) and 40μg ml^-1, respectively, followed by 1 hour incubation at 37C. Proteins were digested by addition of Proteinase K to a final concentration of 300μg ml^-1 and incubated overnight at 37C. DNA was extracted twice with Phenol, once with phenol:chloroform, and precipitated in the presence of 2M ammonium acetate with 2 volumes of ethanol. The pellet was washed in 75% ethanol and resuspended in 1ml of TE buffer. In parallel control experiments, instead of KMnO4 solution, cells were incubated with an equal volume of water followed by DNA purification as described above. Blocking of unspecific DNA breaks: To block any free 3 DNA ...

a The β-galactosidase activity assay was performed as described in the MATCHMAKER two-hybrid system (20). Briefly, cells from 1.5-ml samples of exponential culture were collected by centrifugation and resuspended in 300 μl of Z-buffer (20). A 100-μl aliquot of the resuspended cells was lysed by quick freeze-thaw (treatment with liquid nitrogen followed by thawing at 37°C). To measure the β-galactosidase activity in the cell lysate, a 0.7-ml sample of the Z-buffer-β-mercaptoethanol solution was added to each tube followed by 0.16 ml of Z-buffer-ONPG (4 mg of ONPG per 1 ml of Z-buffer). The time of ONPG addition was recorded, and the tubes were incubated at 30°C with shaking. When yellow color was visible, 400 μl of 1 M NaCO3 was added to each tube to terminate the reaction, and the time was recorded. The tubes were then centrifuged for 10 min at 10,000 × g to remove cellular debris, and the optical density at 420 nm was recorded. β-Galactosidase units were defined as the amount of ...
