Human blood platelets were gtudied for the presence of the pathway of de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides. 8 x 108 cells were incubated for 2.5 h at 37°C in 2 ml of Eagle’s Minimal Essential Medium containing Earle’s Balanced Salt Solution, 15% fetal calf serum and 20 μCi sodium [14C] formate (59 mCi/mmole). Platelets were found to incorporate 14C into total purines at a slow but detectable rate of 50–70 pmoles/8 x 108 cells/2.5 h. This incorporation was inhibited by approximately 80% at 10 mM azaserine and by 60% at 0.1 mM adenine. Adenine is known to affect the rate of purine synthesis de novo through the activity of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate amidotransferase, the first committed enzyme of this pathway. The results suggest the presence of the complete pathway of de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides in normal human peripheral blood platelets.

Abstract Three known sesquiterpenoids of the lactarane and secolactarane type, deoxylactarorufin A (1), blennin A (2) and blennin C (3), have been obtained from cultures of Lentinellus cochleatus (Basidiomycetes) together with the new metabolites (Z)-2-chloro-3-(4-me-thoxyphenyl)-2-propen-l-ol (4) and lentinellone (5), a protoilludane derivative. The structures were determined by spectroscopic investigations. 1, 2 and 3 are potent inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells and human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL).

Sera from cases of elephantiasis due to Wuchereria bancrofti infection promoted an intense adhesion of peripheral blood leukocytes to W. bancrofti microfilariae in vitro. A similar adhesion was also seen using sera from some normal persons living for several years in areas where filariasis is endemic. No such adhesion was evident with sera from microfilaria carriers or from normal subjects from nonendemic areas. The adhesion was complement independent and was associated with the immunoglobulin G fraction of serum. 51Cr release studies suggested the occurrence of cell-mediated cytotoxicity to W. bancrofti microfilariae in the presence of elephantiasis serum. Microfilariae of Litomosoides carinii could be isolated free of blood cells, from the blood of infected rats. In the presence of serum, or its immunoglobulin G fraction, from patients with elephantiasis, L. carinii microfilariae adhered to human peripheral blood leukocytes or rat spleen cells.

ABSTRACT When tachyzoites were incubated with human peripheral blood leukocytes in vitro, more monocytes and dendritic cells than neutrophils or lymphocytes were infected. Although tachyzoites were able to divide in each of these cell types, monocytes and dendritic cells were more permissive to rapid tachyzoite division than neutrophils or lymphocytes.
