CATALOGO DEI PRODOTTI DELLA RICERCA
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishWe have investigated the phenotype of seven human glioma cell lines established in vitro from primary tumour explants. Indirect immunofluorescence and flow cytofluorimetry revealed a heterogeneous distribution of surface GE 2 and CG 12 Tumour Associated Antigens (TAA). In one group of cell lines TAA were detected both at the cell surface and in the cytosol, whereas in a second group of glioma cell lines TAA were found only in the cytosol. We have also investigated the sensitivity of glioma-derived cell lines to antibody-toxin and ligand-toxin conjugates (Immunotoxins). Monoclonal antibodies anti GE 2 antigen linked to ricin toxin A subunit (RTA) showed poor cytotoxicity, which increased about 50 fold when the whole toxin was linked to anti GE 2 monoclonals. Treatment with human recombinant interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) greatly augmented the percentage of HLA-DR+ cells and the amount of HLA-DR antigens per cell. IFN-gamma treatment resulted in a net increase of sensitivity to anti HLA-DR Immunotoxins (IT). Human diferric transferrin linked to RTA exhibited a potent cytotoxic effect against human glioma-derived cells when used in the presence of the lysosomotropic carboxylic ionophore monensin.

| Abstract: | We have investigated the phenotype of seven human glioma cell lines established in vitro from primary tumour explants.

We have also investigated the sensitivity of glioma-derived cell lines to antibody-toxin and ligand-toxin conjugates (Immunotoxins). Monoclonal antibodies anti GE 2 antigen linked to ricin toxin A subunit (RTA) showed poor cytotoxicity, which increased about 50 fold when the whole toxin was linked to anti GE 2 monoclonals.
