145. Internalization and Cycling of the T Cell Antigen Receptor - Role of Protein Kinase C

Yasuhiro Minami, Lawrence E. Samelson, Richard D. Klausner

The T cell antigen receptor (TCR) plays a critical role in T cell activation, but the dynamics of TCR internalisation and its regulation were poorly understood. It was known that phorbol esters (activators of protein kinase C) lead to loss of surface TCRs, but the mechanisms—whether internalisation was…

146. Endocytosis in Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes

Hans-Jörg Heiniger, Arnold Sodergren, Jan D. Marshall

While pinocytosis (endocytosis) in lymphocytes had been qualitatively described using electron microscopy, quantitative measurements of endocytic activity and its relationship to immunological function were lacking. Understanding whether endocytosis correlates with T cell differentiation and cytotoxic function is…

147. Synthesis and Characterization of Acetalated Dextran Polymer and Microparticles with Ethanol as a Degradation Product

Kevin J. Kauffman, Clement Do, Sadhana Sharma, Matthew D. Gallovic, Eric M. Bachelder, Kristy M. Ainslie

Acetalated dextran (Ac-DEX) is a pH-sensitive, biodegradable polymer useful for drug delivery, but it degrades to methanol, which can be toxic at high concentrations or with repeated dosing. A safer analog that degrades to ethanol instead of methanol is needed for high-volume clinical applications such as multiple…
