Abstract
The 47-kDa protein coimmunoprecipitated with phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 1 by anti-PLC-gamma 1 monoclonal antibodies is proved to be Nck, a protein composed almost exclusively of one SH2 and three SH3 domains. Nck and PLC-gamma 1 are recognized by certain anti-PLC-gamma 1 monoclonal antibodies because Nck and PLC-gamma 1 share an epitope that likely is located in their SH3 domains. Nck is widely distributed in rat tissues, with an especially high level of expression in testes. The expression levels of Nck remains unchanged during the development of rat brain, whereas PLC-gamma 1 decreases during the same developmental period. Stimulation of A431 cells with epidermal growth factor elicits the tight association of Nck with the epidermal growth factor receptor and phosphorylation of Nck on both serine and tyrosine residues. The phosphorylation of Nck is also enhanced in response to stimulation of the nerve growth factor receptor in PC12 cells, the T-cell receptor complex in Jurkat cells, the membrane immunoglobulin M in Daudi cells, and the low-affinity immunoglobulin G receptor (Fc gamma RII) in U937 cells. The phosphorylation of Nck was also enhanced following treatment of A431 cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or forskolin. These results suggest that Nck is a target for a variety of protein kinases that might modulate the postulated role of Nck as an adaptor for the physical and functional coordination of signalling proteins.

Abstract
The relative specificities of members of the G alpha q family of GTP-binding proteins were tested for their ability to activate different phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) beta isozymes. Cos-7 cells were transfected with cDNA corresponding to G alpha q, G alpha 11, G alpha 14, and G alpha 16. Most of the recombinant protein was bound to the cell membrane and these membranes were washed to elute endogenous PI-PLC activity. The membrane preparation was reconstituted with purified preparations of the PI-PLC beta isozymes and guanosine 5'-O-thiotriphosphate (GTP gamma S)-stimulated enzyme activity was measured. All four proteins of the G alpha q family were found to stimulate PI-PLC beta 1, with G alpha q and G alpha 11 being most efficient. On the other hand, G alpha 16 was found to most effectively activate PI-PLC beta 2, while G alpha q, G alpha 11, and G alpha 14 showed less stimulation. Specific anti- G alpha 16 antibody blocked the stimulation of both PI-PLC beta 1 and PI-PLC beta 2 in the enriched membrane fraction. We conclude that there is specificity in the interaction of different members of the Gq family with different PI-PLC beta effectors. This specificity may be important in generating tissue- or receptor-specific responses in vivo.

Abstract
cDNAs corresponding to a previously uncharacterized phospholipase C were isolated from an HL-60 cell cDNA library. The cDNAs encodes a putative polypeptide of 1181 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 133,700 daltons. Comparison of the amino acid sequence of the predicted protein with those of five mammalian phospholipase C isoforms (PLC-beta 1, PLC-gamma 1, PLC-gamma 2, PLC-delta 1, and PLC-delta 2) revealed that the new enzyme is most closely related to PLC-beta 1 with an overall amino acid sequence identity of 48%. Thus, the new phospholipase C was named PLC-beta 2. The least similarity between PLC-beta 1 and PLC-beta 2 is apparent in the carboxyl-terminal 450 amino acids. Both PLC-beta 1 and PLC-beta 2 were purified from extracts of HeLa cells that had been transfected with vaccinia virus containing the corresponding cDNAs. Like other mammalian PLC isoforms, including PLC-beta 1, the catalytic activity of PLC-beta 2 was entirely dependent on Ca2+, and PLC-beta 2 preferred phosphatidyl-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate to phosphatidylinositol as substrate. Recently, the alpha subunit of the pertussis toxin-insensitive G-protein alpha q has been shown to activate PLC-beta 1 but not PLC-gamma 1 and PLC-delta 1. When alpha q purified from bovine brain was reconstituted with PLC-beta 1 or PLC-beta 2, no stimulation of PLC-beta 2 was observed in the presence of either AlF4- or guanosine 5-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S), whereas PLC-beta 1 activity was enhanced markedly in the presence of AlF4- and less markedly but significantly in the presence of GTP gamma S. These results suggest that the receptor-dependent stimulation of PLC-beta 1 and that of PLC-beta 2 may require different G-protein alpha subunits. (see also accompanying article (Lee, C. H., Park, D., Wu, D., Rhee, S. G., and Simon, M. I. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 16044-16047).

Abstract
Mice of three haplotypes (H-2d, H-2b, and H-2d/b) were immunized with synthetic HPV16 virus-like particles (VLPs), produced using a vaccinia virus doubly recombinant for the L1 and L2 proteins of HPV16. The resultant anti-VLP antisera recognized HPV16 capsids by ELISA assay and baculovirus recombinant HPV16 L1 and L2 protein on immunoblot. Overlapping peptides corresponding to the HPV16 L1 amino acid sequence were used to define the immunoreactive regions of the L1 protein. The majority of the L1 peptides were reactive with IgG from the mice immunized with the synthetic HPV16 capsids. A computer algorithm predicted seven B epitopes in HPV16 L1, five of which lay within peptides strongly reactive with the murine antisera. The murine anti-VLP antisera failed to react with the two peptides recognized by anti-HPV16L1 monoclonal antibodies raised by others against recombinant L1 fusion protein. We conclude that the immunoreactive epitopes of HPV16 defined using virus-like particles differ significantly from those defined using recombinant HPV16 L1 fusion proteins, which implies that such fusion proteins may not be the antigens to look for HPV16L1 specific immune responses in HPV-infected patients.

Abstract
DMC1 is a new meiosis-specific yeast gene. Dmc1 protein is structurally similar to bacterial RecA proteins. dmc1 mutants are defective in reciprocal recombination, accumulate double-strand break (DSB) recombination intermediates, fail to form normal synaptonemal complex (SC), and arrest late in meiotic prophase. dmc1 phenotypes are consistent with a functional relationship between Dmc1 and RecA, and thus eukaryotic and prokaryotic mechanisms for homology recognition and strand exchange may be related. dmc1 phenotypes provide further evidence that recombination and SC formation are interrelated processes and are consistent with a requirement for DNA-DNA interactions during SC formation. dmc1 mutations confer prophase arrest. Additional evidence suggests that arrest occurs at a meiosis-specific cell cycle "checkpoint" in response to a primary defect in prophase chromosome metabolism. DMC1 is homologous to yeast's RAD51 gene, supporting the view that mitotic DSB repair has been recruited for use in meiotic chromosome metabolism.

Abstract
The GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor complex has been purified from both bovine cerebral cortex and cerebellum by immunoaffinity chromatography on immobilized monoclonal antibody 62-3G1. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified receptor from either cerebral cortex or cerebellum revealed 3 main bands corresponding to 51,000, 55,000 and 57,000 Mr silver-stained peptides. In addition, a minor band corresponding to a 53,000 Mr peptide was also found. The differences between the two receptor preparations were: (1) that the main silver-stained 55,000 Mr subunit was present in a relative smaller quantity in cerebellum than in cerebral cortex, and (2) when the membrane-bound receptor was photoaffinity-labeled with [3H]flunitrazepam and subsequently immunoaffinity-purified, two photolabeled peptide bands of 51,000 and 57,000 Mr were found in cerebral cortex while only the 51,000 Mr photolabeled peptide was detected in cerebellum following one-dimension sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Peptide maps of the 57,000 Mr [3H]flunitrazepam photoaffinity-labeled peptide indicated that it was composed of two closely migrating photolabeled peptides of 55,000 Mr and 57,000 Mr. Peptide mapping and deglycosylation experiments using the [3H]flunitrazepam photolabeled receptor suggested that the photolabeled peptides commonly present in cerebellum and cerebral cortex are qualitatively similar if not identical. The results suggest that there are subunits of some type(s) of GABAA R/BZDR complex(es) which are more abundant in cerebral cortex than in cerebellum. Photoaffinity labeling with [3H]muscimol showed similar photolabeled peptides in both cerebral cortex and cerebellum: two main peptides of 54,000 and 57,000 Mr were photolabeled with [3H]muscimol to a similar extent in both receptor preparations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The gamma-aminobutyric acidA/benzodiazepine receptor complexes from bovine cerebral cortex were purified by immunoaffinity chromatography, and the main component peptide subunits were characterized. The peptide band originally thought to be a single beta subunit [57,000 Mr band in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)] is composed of at least four different peptides of 54,000-57,000 Mr. Two peptides of 55,000 and 57,000 Mr were recognized by the beta subunit-specific monoclonal antibody 62-3G1. Peptides in the range of 54,000-57,000 Mr were photoaffinity-labeled with [3H]muscimol. A different 57,000 Mr peptide was photoaffinity-labeled by [3H]flunitrazepam, but neither was recognized by the monoclonal antibody 62-3G1 nor photoaffinity-labeled with [3H]muscimol. Some peptides could be identified by their differential mobility shift in SDS-PAGE after treatment with endoglycosidase H. Two additional subunit peptides of 51,000 and 53,000 Mr were also photoaffinity-labeled by [3H]flunitrazepam and reacted with antiserum A. However, the 57,000 Mr peptide that also was photoaffinity-labeled by [3H]flunitrazepam did not react with antiserum A.

Abstract
The bovine gamma-aminobutyric acidA/benzodiazepine receptor complex has been purified by a novel immunoaffinity chromatography method on immobilized monoclonal antibody 62-3G1. Immunopurification of the complex was achieved in a single step with an improved yield over affinity chromatography on the benzodiazepine Ro 7-1986/1. High-resolution sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of the immunoaffinity-purified receptor revealed three major peptide bands of 51,000, 55,000, and 57,000 Mr which were also present in the Ro 7-1986/1 affinity-purified receptor. Peptide mapping, immunoblotting with subunit specific antibodies, and photoaffinity labeling with [3H]flunitrazepam and [3H]muscimol have been used for the identification of receptor subunits, including several which comigrated in a single band in SDS-PAGE.

Abstract
The expression of the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor (GABAR/BZDR) complex in primary neuronal cultures from rat brain embryos has been investigated. The GABAR/BZDR complex was photoaffinity labeled with [3H]flunitrazepam [3H]FNZ and immunoprecipitated with subunit specific antibodies. These were the mAb 62-3G1 which is specific for the 57-kDa GABA binding subunit, and the rabbit antiserum A which recognizes the 51-kDa [3H]FNZ binding subunit. The results indicate that the cultured neurons express 5 different peptides of 51, 53, 54, 57 and 59 kDa that can be photoaffinity labeled with [3H]FNZ and that all of them are physically coupled to the GABAA receptor. Most of the [3H]FNZ photolabeled peptides have similar mobilities to those found in the brain of the newborn rat. Nevertheless, some of the quantitative changes in the photolabeled peptides observed during the normal development of the rat brain were not observed or occurred at much slower pace in the cultured neurons.

Abstract
The postnatal development of the gamma-aminobutyric acidA/benzodiazepine receptor (GABAR/BZDR) complex of the rat brain has been investigated using the monoclonal antibody 62-3G1 and the polyclonal rabbit antiserum A, specific for the 57,000 and 51,000 Mr receptor subunits, respectively. Both GABAR and BZDR binding activities co-precipitated during all postnatal ages. Adult rats showed a main 51,000 Mr[3H]flunitrazepam photoaffinity-labeled peptide, whereas newborn rats showed several photolabeled peptides of higher Mr. All the photolabeled peptides could be immunoprecipitated with each antibody regardless of the age of the rats. These results suggest that the physical coupling between the GABAR and the BZDR is already present in newborn animals and it is maintained afterwards during development. Glycosidase and peptidase treatments of the immunoprecipitated GABAR/BZDR complex indicated that all the [3H]flunitrazepam-photolabeled subunits are different peptides, although they seem to conserve a high degree of homology. In addition to the age-dependent heterogeneity, the results also suggest that for each age, there is heterogeneity in the subunit composition of the GABAR/BZDR complex.

Abstract
ACTH1-10 and ACTH11-24 each elicit cortisol secretion submaximally in freshly dispersed or cultured beef adrenal cortical cells. The combination of ACTH1-10 and ACTH11-24 promotes cortisol release to the maximal level elicited by ACTH1-24. Maximal cortisol release by ACTH11-24, but not by ACTH1-24 or ACTH1-10, was enhanced by forskolin. The calcium channel blockers nifedipine and verapamil inhibited cortisol release by ACTH1-10, ACTH1-24 or ACTH11-24, suggesting calcium influx to be essential for steroid secretion regardless of the secretagogue. Vanadium, in a dose-dependent manner, inhibited cortisol secretion elicited by ACTH1-24 and ACTH1-10 but not that caused by ACTH11-24. These results suggest that there are at least two receptors mediating ACTH1-24-dependent steroid secretion. One class of receptor recognizes ACTH1-10 but not ACTH11-24 and is linked to the cAMP messenger pathway.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and conventional antisera were raised to the affinity-purified GABAA receptor/benzodiazepine receptor/Cl- channel complex. The antibodies immunoprecipitated the affinity-purified complex in Triton X-100 and also reacted with the complex in a solid-phase radioimmunoassay. Immunoblots indicated that the mAb 62-3G1 reacted with the 57,000 Mr peptide subunit of the affinity-purified complex, while the antisera mainly reacted with the 51,000 Mr peptide subunit. The mAbs and the antisera also immunoprecipitated the GABAA receptor/benzodiazepine receptor/Cl- channel complex after being solubilized from cerebral cortex membranes by the zwitterionic detergent CHAPS. The immunoprecipitated complex bound 3H-muscimol, 3H-flunitrazepam (FNZ) and 35S-t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate (TBPS). The 3H-FNZ binding was stimulated by GABA, indicating that the functional interactions among the immunoprecipitated components of the complex were preserved. The mAb 62-3G1 also recognized the 57,000 Mr peptide in immunoblots with crude brain membranes. Immunocytochemistry experiments showed that the binding of both the mAb 62-3G1 and 3H-muscimol colocalized throughout the brain. The results suggest that (1) the 57,000 Mr peptide is the muscimol (GABAA receptor agonist) binding peptide of the complex, and (2) in the cerebral cortex, most of the GABAA receptors (GABARs), benzodiazepine receptors (BDZRs), and Cl- channels are physically coupled to one another.

Abstract
A stratified, random-assignment trial of 442 cancer patients was conducted to evaluate medical, psychosocial, and financial outcomes of day hospital treatment as an alternative to inpatient care for certain cancer patients. Eligible patients required: a 4- to 8-hour treatment plan, including chemotherapy and other long-term intravenous (i.v.) treatment; a stable cardiovascular status; mental competence; no skilled overnight nursing; and a helper to assist with home care. Patients were ineligible if standard outpatient treatment was possible. No statistically significant (p less than 0.05) differences were found between the Adult Day Hospital (ADH) and Inpatient care in medical or psychosocial outcomes over the 60-day study period. The major difference was in medical costs--approximately one-third lower for ADH patients (p less than 0.001) than for the Inpatient group. The study demonstrates that day hospital care of medical oncology patients is clinically equivalent to Inpatient care, causes no negative psychosocial effects, and costs less than Inpatient care. Findings support the trend toward dehospitalization of medical treatment.

Abstract
The anti-benzodiazepine monoclonal antibody 21-7F9 has been used for the identification and study of endogenous benzodiazepine-like molecules in the human, rat and bovine brains. A sandwich radioimmunoassay has been designed for the quantification of the membrane-bound endogenous benzodiazepine-like molecules. The localization of these molecules is not restricted to the brain tissue. They are also present in kidney, liver and spleen as well as in the neuroblastoma X glioma NG108-15 hybrid cell line. Immunoblots show benzodiazepine-like immunoreactivity in the membrane proteins of all of these tissues. The membrane-bound benzodiazepine-like molecules are resistant to limited proteolysis of the membranes. Moreover, this treatment increases the binding of the monoclonal antibody 21-7F9 to the membranes, probably by exposing sites that normally are not accessible to the antibody. Immunocytochemistry experiments show that benzodiazepine-like molecules are also present in samples of human cerebella that have been stored in paraffin since 1940, 15 years before the first chemical synthesis of benzodiazepines. The results indicate that the cerebellar benzodiazepine-like molecules recognized by the antibody are the product of biological (not chemical) synthesis. Benzodiazepine-like immunoreactivity has also been detected in NG108-15 cells that have been cultured for 3 months in serum-free medium. These results suggest that the cells could biosynthesize benzodiazepine-like molecules.

Abstract
Four hybridoma lines secreting monoclonal antibodies to benzodiazepines were produced after BALB/c mice were immunized with a benzodiazepine-bovine serum albumin conjugate. The monoclonal antibodies were purified from ascites fluids, and their binding affinities for benzodiazepines and other benzodiazepine receptor ligands were determined. These antibodies have very high binding affinities for diazepam, flunitrazepam, Ro5-4864, Ro5-3453, Ro11-6896, and Ro5-3438 (the KD values are in the 10(-9) M range). However, these antibodies have low affinities for the benzodiazepine receptor inverse agonists (beta-carbolines) and antagonists (Ro15-1788 and CGS-8216).

Abstract
The rat olfactory bulb was studied at the light and electron microscopic level with the indirect immunofluorescence technique and the unlabelled antibody enzyme method (PAP-technique), respectively. Antibodies to all 4 enzymes in the catecholamine synthesis were used. In the principal bulb the first two enzymes, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and DOPA decarboxylase (DDC), but not dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH), were present in a proportion of periglomerular cell bodies and dendrites indicating that these neurons synthesize dopamine (DA). This amine may therefore be released as a transmitter substance at some of the intraglomerular dendrodendritic synapses which periglomerular cells form with the mitral cells. There is evidence to suggest that some periglomerular cells use GABA as their transmitter. Thus, a morphologically and physiologically homogenous population of neurons can be subdivided on the basis of transmitter histochemical criteria. There was an impression of more DDC-positive than TH-positive fibers in the glomeruli. Such presumably DDC-positive, but TH-negative processes may represent 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) nerve terminals. DBH-positive fibers were seen in the granular, external plexiform, and very rarely, in the glomerular layers, probably representing noradrenaline (NA) nerve terminals ascending from the lower brain stem. Weakly fluorescent DDC-positive fibers may represent nerve terminals of ascending 5-HT neurons. No phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT)-positive neurons were observed.

Abstract
The localization and distribution of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the first enzyme in the catecholamine synthesis, in the mes- and diencephalon has been studied with the indirect immunofluorescence technique of Coons and collaborators. Principally, TH was present in neuron systems with a distribution similar to known dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline systems. The present data, taken together with published and some unpublished results, indicate that all parts of most central dopamine neurons, i.e. cell body, dendrites, axon and nerve terminals, appear strongly fluorescent. The adrenaline neurons also appeared strongly fluorescent, except for their axons, which only exhibited a weak fluorescence. Only cell bodies of noradrenaline neurons were strongly fluorescent, whereas the nerve terminals and axons showed a weak or moderate fluorescence intensity. The fine noradrenaline nerve terminals in some areas, such as the thalamus, were invisible or, under favourable conditions, weakly fluorescent. Therefore, in the present study we are mainly dealing with the dopamine neurons of the upper brain stem. Our results demonstrate a widespread occurrence of TH-positive neuron systems in the mes- and diencephalon. The different mesencephalic dopamine systems and their ascending projections were visualized. Numerous TH-positive cell bodies were present along the ventricle system extending from the aqueductus cerebri to the most cranial periventricular parts of the third ventricle. The caudal part of these neurons, consisting of very small cell bodies, belong to the dorsal periventricular system described by Lindvall and Björklund. Several TH-positive cell bodies were also observed in the inferior collicle of young animals. In the superficial layers of the inferior collicles TH positive nerve terminals were seen. At the hypothalamic level the A11 to A14 cell groups as well as some additonal cell bodies and extensive nerve terminal plexuses appeared strongly fluorescent. The differences in the intensity of the TH-related immunofluorescence between various brain regions and between various neuron systems may well reflect differences in enzyme levels between the various catacholamine systems rather than be due to the existence of different types of TH.
