Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously showed that supernatants of Lactobacillus biofilms induced an anti-inflammatory response by affecting the secretion of macrophage-derived cytokines, which was abrogated upon immunodepletion of the stress protein GroEL. METHODS We purified GroEL from L. reuteri and analysed its anti-inflammatory properties in vitro in human macrophages isolated from buffy coats, ex vivo in explants from human biopsies and in vivo in a mouse model of DSS induced intestinal inflammation. As a control, we used GroEL purified (LPS-free) from E. coli. RESULTS We found that L. reuteri GroEL (but not E. coli GroEL) inhibited pro-inflammatory M1-like macrophages markers, and favored M2-like markers. Consequently, L. reuteri GroEL inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β, IFNγ) while favouring an anti-inflammatory secretome. In colon tissues from human biopsies, L. reuteri GroEL was also able to decrease markers of inflammation and apoptosis (caspase 3) induced by LPS. In mice, we found that rectal administration of L. reuteri GroEL (but not E. coli GroEL) inhibited all signs of haemorrhagic colitis induced by DSS including intestinal mucosa degradation, rectal bleeding and weight loss. It also decreased intestinal production of inflammatory cytokines (such as IFNγ) while increasing anti-inflammatory IL-10 and IL-13. These effects were suppressed when animals were immunodepleted in macrophages. From a mechanistic point of view, the effect of L. reuteri GroEL seemed to involve TLR4, since it was lost in TRL4-/- mice, and the activation of a non-canonical TLR4 pathway. CONCLUSIONS L. reuteri GroEL, by affecting macrophage inflammatory features, deserves to be explored as an alternative to probiotics.

Abstract
Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation process that contributes to host immunity by eliminating invasive pathogens and the modulating inflammatory response. Several infectious and immune disorders are associated with autophagy defects, suggesting that stimulation of autophagy in these diseases should be beneficial. Here, we show that resveratrol is able to boost xenophagy, a selective form of autophagy that target invasive bacteria. We demonstrated that resveratrol promotes in vitro autophagy-dependent clearance of intracellular bacteria in intestinal epithelial cells and macrophages. These results were validated in vivo using infection in a transgenic GFP-LC3 zebrafish model. We also compared the ability of resveratrol derivatives, designed to improve the bioavailability of the parent molecule, to stimulate autophagy and to induce intracellular bacteria clearance. Together, our data demonstrate the ability of resveratrol to stimulate xenophagy, and thereby enhance the clearance of two invasive bacteria involved life-threatening diseases, Salmonella Typhimurium and Crohn's disease-associated Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli. These findings encourage the further development of pro-autophagic nutrients to strengthen intestinal homeostasis in basal and infectious states.

Abstract
One new triterpene glycoside 3- O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)]-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyloleanolic acid, was isolated from Weigela x “kosteriana variegata” (Caprifoliaceae), with three known ones. Their structures were characterized by a combination of mass spectrometry and 1D and 2D NMR spectrocopic techniques including 1H- and 13C NMR, COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC experiments. The toxicological properties of some glycosides were determined with a zebrafish-based assay. The results show that the most active compounds were toxic to the larvae in the range of 1 μM.

Abstract
HSF1 is a transcription factor that plays a key role in circadian resetting by temperature. We have used zebrafish embryos to decipher the roles of zHsf1, heat and light on zper2 transcription in vivo. Our results show that heat shock (HS) stimulated zper2 expression in the dark but has no cumulative effect combined with light. After light exposition, zper2 expression was 2.7 fold increased threefold in the hsf1-morphants in comparison to control embryos. Our results show that zHsf1 plays a positive role in HS-driven expression of zper2 in the dark but seems to act as an attenuator in the presence light.

Abstract
Plant defense stimulators (PDSs) rely on the activation of plant innate immunity in order to protect crops against various pests. These molecules are thought to be a safer alternative to classical plant protection products. Given that innate immune systems share common features in plants and vertebrates, PDS can potentially cross-react with innate immunity of non-target organisms. To test this hypothesis, we studied effects of the commercial PDS Stifenia (FEN560), which is composed of crushed fenugreek seeds. We tested various concentrations of Stifenia (0.03–1 mg mL−1) on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and checked, 20 h later, cell metabolic activity (MA) using XTT assay, cell death by flow cytometry analysis, and IL-1β inflammatory cytokine released in the culture medium using ELISA. Stifenia induced a general decrease of the cell MA, which was concomitant with a dose-dependent release of IL-1β. Our results highlight the activation of human immune cells. The inflammatory effect of Stifenia was partially inhibited by pan-caspase inhibitor. Accordingly, Stifenia induced the release of p20 caspase-1 fragment into the culture medium suggesting the involvement of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Furthermore, we observed that Stifenia can induce cell death. We also tested the effect of Stifenia on Zebrafish larvae. After 24 h of exposure, Stifenia induced a dose-dependent IL-1β and TNFα gene expression. The human-cell-based approach developed in this work revealed a high sensitivity concerning inflammatory properties of a plant protection product. These tests could be routinely used to screen the potential adverse effects of this type of compounds. Finally, our results suggest a potential danger of using extensively certain PDS for crop protection.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of nitric oxide on tumor development, we established a rat tumor xenograft model in zebrafish embryos. The injected tumor cells formed masses in which nitric oxide production could be detected by the use of the cell-permeant DAF-FM-DA (diaminofluorophore 4-amino-5-methylamino-2’-7’-difluorofluorescein diacetate) and DAR-4M-AM (diaminorhodamine-4M). This method revealed that nitric oxide production could be co-localized with the tumor xenograft in 46% of the embryos. In 85% of these embryos, tumors were vascularized and blood vessels were observed on day 4 post injection. Furthermore, we demonstrated by qRT-PCR that the transplanted glioma cells highly expressed Nos2, Vegfa and Cyclin D1 mRNA. In the xenografted embryos we also found increased zebrafish vegfa expression. Glioma and zebrafish derived Vegfa and tumor Cyclin D1 expression could be down regulated by the nitric oxide scavenger 2-(4-Carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide or CPTIO. We conclude that even if there is a heterogeneous nitric oxide production by the xenografted glioma cells that impacts Vegfa and Cyclin D1 expression levels, our results suggest that reduction of nitric oxide levels by nitric oxide scavenging could be an efficient approach to treat glioma.

Abstract
The predominant form of life for microorganisms in their natural habitats is the biofilm mode of growth. The adherence and colonization of probiotic bacteria are considered as essential factors for their immunoregulatory function in the host. Here, we show that Lactobacillus casei ATCC334 adheres to and colonizes the gut of zebrafish larvae. The abundance of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the recruitment of macrophages were low when inflammation was induced in probiotic-fed animals, suggesting that these bacteria have anti-inflammatory properties. We treated human macrophage-differentiated monocytic THP-1 cells with supernatants of L. casei ATCC334 grown in either biofilm or planktonic cultures. TNF-α production was suppressed and the NF-κB pathway was inhibited only in the presence of supernatants from biofilms. We identified GroEL as the biofilm supernatant compound responsible, at least partially, for this anti-inflammatory effect. Gradual immunodepletion of GroEL demonstrated that the abundance of GroEL and TNF-α were inversely correlated. We confirmed that biofilm development in other Lactobacillus species affects the immune response. The biofilms supernatants of these species also contained large amounts of GroEL. Thus, our results demonstrate that the biofilm enhances the immunomodulatory effects of Lactobacillus sp. and that secreted GroEL is involved in this beneficial effect.

Abstract
Upregulation of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 plays a central role in tumor progression and metastasis by stimulating cell migration, tumor invasion, and angiogenesis. To gain insights into MMP-9 expression, we investigated its epigenetic control in a reversible model of cancer that is initiated by infection with intracellular Theileria parasites. Gene induction by parasite infection was associated with trimethylation of histone H3K4 (H3K4me3) at the MMP-9 promoter. Notably, we found that the H3K4 methyltransferase SMYD3 was the only histone methyltransferase upregulated upon infection. SMYD3 is overexpressed in many types of cancer cells, but its contributions to malignant pathophysiology are unclear. We found that overexpression of SMYD3 was sufficient to induce MMP-9 expression in transformed leukocytes and fibrosarcoma cells and that proinflammatory phorbol esters further enhanced this effect. Furthermore, SMYD3 was sufficient to increase cell migration associated with MMP-9 expression. In contrast, RNA interference-mediated knockdown of SMYD3 decreased H3K4me3 modification of the MMP-9 promoter, reduced MMP-9 expression, and reduced tumor cell proliferation. Furthermore, SMYD3 knockdown also reduced cellular invasion in a zebrafish xenograft model of cancer. Together, our results define SMYD3 as an important new regulator of MMP-9 transcription, and they provide a molecular link between SMYD3 overexpression and metastatic cancer progression.

Abstract
Zebrafish were proposed as an alternative to mammalian models to assess the efficacy and toxicity of antileukemic drugs. Due to the limited number of transgenic zebrafish leukemia models, we explored human leukemic cell xenograft in zebrafish embryos. Human leukemic cell lines and blast cells sorted from patients with acute myelogenous leukemia were injected 48 hours post-fertilization and remained in the circulation of zebrafish embryos for several days without affecting their development. Imatinib and oxaphorines did not demonstrate any toxicity on normal zebrafish embryos and decreased the leukemic burden in animals xenografted with sensitive leukemic cell lines. Two other molecules, all-trans retinoic acid and the translation inhibitor 4EGI-1, demonstrated teratogenic effects at concentrations shown to be efficient in vitro, which precluded investigation of their antileukemic activity in such models. Altogether, xenografted leukemic cells in zebrafish embryos are a pharmacologically relevant model for screening non-teratogenic drugs.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy in advanced-stage melanomas in which other therapeutic options have little effect. The Staphylococcus enterotoxin A (SEA) has been used to stimulate an antitumoral immune response but its use is hampered by severe systemic side effects. Here, we show that SEA can be targeted to melanoma cells to limit these side effects. More specifically, we used a nonviral vector, the cationic polymer, polyethylenimine (PEI), to express a transmembrane SEA fusion construct (pSEA-TM) in B16F10-induced subcutaneous melanoma in mice. The efficacy of this in vivo transfection was enhanced by concomitant infusion of epinephrine to induce local vasoconstriction. In these conditions, repeated injections of pSEA-TM/PEI complexes elicited a significant response, as evidenced by tumor growth inhibition, without systemic adverse effects. T cell infiltration of the tumors, together with positive lymphocyte proliferation tests, suggested local and systemic immune responses. Altogether, PEI-mediated targeting of SEA to melanoma tumor cells in vivo efficiently stimulates the antitumor immune response without inducing the side effects observed with systemic administration of SEA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE TIF2 is fused with MOZ in the inv(8)(p11q13) acute myeloid leukemia. TIF2, member of the p160 family, is a histone acetyl transferase (HAT). Deletion of p160 genes were performed in mice. Some observations suggest that p160 family members may perform overlapping functions in mice. Therefore, we decided to choose the zebrafish model to study TIF2. The aim of this study was to characterize the role of this HAT during embryonic development. MATERIAL AND METHODS We use antisense, morpholino-modified oligomers to transiently knockdown tif2 gene, thus determining whether TIF2 plays a role in zebrafish early development. RESULTS We show that tif2 is involved in embryogenesis and in primitive hematopoiesis. tif2-knockdown zebrafish embryos are smaller than controls, they demonstrate shorter tails, they display notochord deformation and they exhibit U-shaped tail somites. A synthetic RNA encoding human TIF2 rescues the tif2-knockdown phenotype. Analysis of fli1 expression by whole-mount in situ hybridization indicates normal angioblast specification, but altered localization of intersomitic vessels. The posterior intermediate cell mass, in which a part of primitive hematopoiesis occurs, is altered in tif2 morphants and whole-mount in situ hybridization analyses of l-plastin and mpx expression suggest a specific inhibition of granulocytic and macrophagic differentiation at late stages. CONCLUSION These data indicate an important role for TIF2 in zebrafish primitive myelopoiesis.

Abstract
Numerous approaches have been described to identify nitric oxide (NO), a free radical involved in various physiological and pathophysiological processes. One of these approaches is based on the use of chemical probes whose transformation by NO generates highly fluorescent derivatives, permitting detection of NO down to nanomolar concentrations. Here, we show that the cell-permeant diamino-fluorophore 4-amino-5-methylamino-2'-7'-difluoro-fluorescein diacetate (DAF-FM-DA) can be used to detect NO production sites in a living vertebrate, the zebrafish Danio rerio. The staining pattern obtained in larvae includes the bulbus arteriosus, forming bones, the notochord, and the caudal fin. The specificity of the signal was confirmed by its decrease in animals exposed to a NO scavenger or a NO synthase inhibitor and its increase in the presence of a NO donor. Using this method, NO production was observed to change along development in the notochord and the caudal fin whereas it remained stable in the bulbus arteriosus. Local changes in NO production in response to stressful conditions were also detected by this method. Altogether, labeling with DAF-FM DA is an efficient method to monitor changes in NO production in live zebrafish under physiological as well as pathophysiological conditions, suggesting applications to drug screening and molecular pharmacology.

Abstract
Up to now, most of the studies addressing the critical roles played by protrusive and contractile cell-matrix contacts in cell adhesion, guidance, migration, matrix assembly, and activation of signaling molecules have been performed on two-dimensional surfaces. Here, we analysed the organization of chondrosarcoma cell contacts in a new three-dimensional environment made of titanium beads. Surface charges were modified by deposition of polyelectrolyte multilayer films built up by alternated polycations poly-(L-lysine) or poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and polyanions poly-(L-glutamic acid) or poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate). Negatively charged 3-D titanium surfaces amplified the occurrence and length of cell protrusions. These protrusions had pseudopod characteristics extended to 200 microm in length, growing off the substratum to distant beads. Pseudopod formation is inhibited by the exocytosis inhibitor concanamycin A and is triggered by a secreted factor. Chondrosarcoma cells adhering on uncoated or on negatively charged surfaces contained discrete focal spots of vinculin and actin cables. In cells plated onto these surfaces, phosphorylation of p44/42 MAPK/ERK was twofold increased. In contrast, no cytoskeletal vinculin and actin organization was observed when the surface was positively charged. These data suggest that chondrosarcoma cells adapt a more stable adhesion on uncoated or negatively charged surfaces. This point may be critical in tissue engineering strategies designed for cartilage repair.

Abstract
The toll-like family of receptors (TLR) is an ancient pattern recognition receptor family, conserved from insects to mammals. We have identified in zebrafish (Danio rerio) 19 putative TLR variants, the orthologs of mammalian TLR2-5, 7-9, a fish specific receptor type group and three putative splice variants. One receptor is very close to mammalian TLR1, 6 and 10 and seems to be their common ancestor. However, in contrast to the pufferfish, Fugu rubripes, we found two receptors homologous to TLR4, showing that lack of TLR4 is not general for fish. In addition, we identified two members close to mammalian TLR8 and five members close to FuguTLR21 and goldfish TLR, a TLR group which now has only been found in fish. By RT-PCR we showed that all TLR are widely expressed in adult tissues, but also at different stages of development. All these TLRs contain very conserved toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains able to interact with TIR-domain of adapter molecules. We demonstrate here that TIR-domain containing adapters MyD88 and SARM are present in zebrafish, showing that TLR adapter molecules are highly conserved in evolution.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate polyelectrolyte multilayer films as interfaces for implants. Polyelectrolyte multilayers were built up with different terminating layers by alternate deposition of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes on which chondrosarcoma (HCS-2/8) cells were grown in the presence of serum. Films formed by an increasing number of layers were investigated. The terminating layer was made of one of the following polyelectrolytes: poly-sodium-4-styrenesulfonate (PSS), poly-L-glutamic acid (PGA), poly-allylamine hydrochloride (PAH), or poly(L-lysine) (PLL). Cell viability, inflammatory response, adherence, and cytoskeletal organization were studied. Induction of interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion was detected on PAH and PLL ending polyelectrolyte films. Early cellular adherence was enhanced with PGA, PAH, PLL, and, to a lower extent, PSS terminating layers. Adherence was independent of the number of layers constituting the films. The presence of actin filaments and vinculin focal adhesion spots was observed on PSS or PAH ending films. They were respectively partially and totally absent on PGA and PLL terminating multilayer architectures. For PLL ending films, vinculin and actin organization was clearly dependent on the number of deposited layers. The results of this study suggest that PSS ending multilayered films constitute a good interfacial micro-environment at the material surface for HCS-2/8 cells.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop new biocompatible coatings for bone implants by the alternating deposition of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. Polyelectrolyte films were built up with different terminating layers on which SaOS-2 osteoblast-like cells and human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells were grown. The terminating layer was made of one of the following polyelectrolytes: poly(ethylene imine) (PEI), poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS), poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), poly(L-glutamic acid) (PGA), or poly(L-lysine) (PLL). Cell adherence, viability, stability of osteoblast phenotype, and inflammatory response were studied. Adherence and viability were good on all terminating layers except the PEI-terminating layer, which was cytotoxic. Maintenance of osteoblast phenotype marker expression was observed on PSS- and PGA-terminating films for both cell types, whereas downregulation, associated with the induction of Interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion, was detected on PEI and PAH for both cell types and on PLL for PDL cells. These results suggested a good biocompatibility of PSS- and PGA-ending films for PDL cells and of PSS-, PGA-, and PLL-terminating films for SaOS-2 cells. As a result, polyelectrolyte multilayer films could emerge as new alternatives for implant coatings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical treatment of a malignancy in the trachea may lead to a long resection that has to be reconstructed with an artificial prosthesis. However, most of the available prostheses encounter inflammatory rejection and mechanical constraint problems. To improve tracheal rehabilitation a porous titanium prosthesis was developed. The aim of this study was to test the biocompatibility of this novel material. METHODS Seventeen rats had a partial tracheal prosthesis made of porous titanium inserted in the cervical trachea. The histologic analysis of the tissue surrounding the prosthesis was performed in 11 surviving animals after a period of 15 to 41 days. RESULTS Fibroblast colonization of titanium pores and a ciliary cylindrical epithelial layer developed on the endoluminal side of the prosthesis and the inflammatory reaction was minimal. CONCLUSIONS The results of this short-term study validate, from surgical and histologic standpoints, the usefulness of a porous titanium tracheal prosthesis.

Abstract
We report the development of new bioactive coatings of biomaterials based on the alternate deposition of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. We selected polylysine (PLL) and poly(glutamic acid) (PGA) for the polyelectrolytes and murine melanoma cells as a biological test model system. These cells respond specifically to a small peptide hormone, alpha-melanocortin, which is a potent stimulator of melanogenesis. We show that a synthetic alpha-melanocortin derivative, covalently coupled to PLL forming the outer layer of a multilayer film remains as biologically active as the free hormone. Furthermore, the long time activity of the hormone is maintained when embedded in multilayer architectures whereas its short time activity depends on integration depth. The embedding of bioactive molecules not only anchors them irreversibly on the biomaterial, but opens also the possibility to control their activity. In comparison to conventional coating methods, polyelectrolyte multilayers are easy to prepare and retain their biological activity after storage as dry material. These very flexible systems allow broad medical applications for implant and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Despite ample pharmacological evidence for the existence of multiple mu-, delta- and kappa-opioid receptor subtypes, only three genes encoding mu-(MOR), delta-(DOR) and kappa-(KOR) opioid receptor have been cloned. The KOR gene encodes kappa(1)-sites, which specifically bind arylacetamide compounds, and the possible existence of kappa-opioid receptor subtypes derived from another kappa-opioid-receptor gene, yet to be characterized, remains a very contentious issue. kappa(2)-Opioid receptors are described as binding sites typically labelled by the non-selective benzomorphan ligand [3H]bremazocine in the presence of mu-, delta- and kappa(1)-opioid receptor blocking ligands. To investigate the genetic origin of kappa(2)-opioid receptors, we have carried out homogenate binding experiments with [3H]bremazocine in brains of single MOR-, DOR-, KOR- and double MOR/DOR-deficient mice. Scatchard analysis showed that 68+/-12% of the binding sites arise from the MOR gene, 27+/-1% from the DOR gene and 14.5+/-0.2% from the KOR gene, indicating that the three known genes account for total [3H]bremazocine binding. Experiments in the presence of mu-, delta- and kappa(1)-opioid receptor suppressor ligands further showed that non-kappa(1)-opioid receptor labelling can be accounted for by binding to both the mu- and delta-opioid receptors. Finally, [3H]bremazocine binding experiments performed on brain membranes from the triple MOR/DOR/KOR-deficient mice revealed a complete absence of binding sites, confirming definitively that no additional gene is required to explain the total population of [3H]bremazocine binding sites. Altogether the data show that the putative kappa(2)-opioid receptors are in fact a mixed population of KOR, DOR and predominantly MOR gene products.

Abstract
In order to transfect melanoma specifically by receptor-mediated endocytosis we prepared dioctadecyl aminoglycylspermine (lipospermine)--DNA complexes with [Nle(4),D-Phe(7)]-alpha-MSH(4--10), a pseudo-peptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) linked to a thiol-reactive phospholipid. With these complexes we obtained an up to 70-fold increase of transfection with B16-F1 melanoma cells. However when B16-G4F, an alpha-MSH receptor negative melanoma cell line was transfected, an up to 700-fold increased transfection efficiency was observed. The peptide hormone analogue was equally efficient when it was only mixed with lipospermine--DNA complexes without covalent coupling. In addition to melanoma cells we also obtained up to 30-fold increased transfection with BN cells (embryonic liver cells). Our data show that an alpha-MSH analogue increased transfection independently of the MSH receptor expression but reaches efficiencies approaching those obtained with peptides derived from viral fusion proteins. The absence of targeting of constructs containing [Nle(4),D-Phe(7)]-alpha-MSH(4-10) can probably be attributed due to the relatively modest number of MSH receptors at the surface of melanoma. We suggest, however, that the peptide hormone analogue used in this study has membrane-active properties and could be of interest as helper agent to enhance non-viral gene delivery presumably by endosomal-destabilizing properties.

Abstract
The role of the opioid system in controlling pain, reward and addiction is well established, but its role in regulating other emotional responses is poorly documented in pharmacology. The mu-, delta- and kappa- opioid receptors (encoded by Oprm, Oprd1 and Oprk1, respectively) mediate the biological activity of opioids. We have generated Oprd1-deficient mice and compared the behavioural responses of mice lacking Oprd1, Oprm (ref. 6) and Oprk1 (ref. 7) in several models of anxiety and depression. Our data show no detectable phenotype in Oprk1-/- mutants, suggesting that kappa-receptors do not have a role in this aspect of opioid function; opposing phenotypes in Oprm-/- and Oprd1-/- mutants which contrasts with the classical notion of similar activities of mu- and delta-receptors; and consistent anxiogenic- and depressive-like responses in Oprd1-/- mice, indicating that delta-receptor activity contributes to improvement of mood states. We conclude that the Oprd1-encoded receptor, which has been proposed to be a promising target for the clinical management of pain, should also be considered in the treatment of drug addiction and other mood-related disorders.

Abstract
Myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific T cell lines and clones have been established from rats of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-compatible Lewis and BS strains. All lines and clones are MHC class II restricted and share the CD4+ phenotype. The cells proliferate specifically in response to either a peptide representing amino acids #68-88 of guinea pig MBP, to residues #47-67 or to an unidentified myelin antigen which is distinct from MBP. All lines and clones specific for MBP express the same T cell receptor (TcR) variable (V) beta chain element, which is homologous to the mouse V beta 8.2 gene segment. Three lines/clones with the same antigen fine specificity have identical V beta D beta J beta junctions on the protein level, a region which represents part of the potential antigen-binding portion of the TcR; two of the lines express members of the V alpha 2 family. These results suggest biased usage of TcR V beta elements in rat T cells specific for MBP. Our findings broaden the basis for a rational therapeutic strategy to specifically intervene in the rodent model system of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.

Abstract
Human immunoglobulin (Ig) genes are rearranged in an ordered sequence of events during B-cell differentiation: starting at the IgH locus, a productive VHDJH rearrangement leads to the expression of mu chains. Light-chain gene rearrangements have been found in pre-B cells which express mu chains. In these cells rearrangements of Ig kappa light-chain genes precede that of lambda genes. In an IgD/lambda-producing plasmocytoma, however, we found an apparent exception to this rule: the kappa genes were not rearranged. Together with the observation that roughly 90% of human IgD plasmocytomas produce lambda light-chain proteins, the finding reported here leads us to suggest that lambda light-chain genes are rearranged preferentially in IgD-producing plasma cells. Ig gene rearrangement, isotype switch, and the phenomenon of isotypic and allelic exclusion are discussed with special reference to our findings.

Abstract
T lymphocytes of higher vertebrates are able to specifically recognize a seemingly unlimited number of foreign antigens via their receptors, the T cell antigen receptors (TCRs). T lymphocytes mature by passing through the thymus and acquire antigen specificity by expressing the TCR molecules on their cell surface. Genetic and somatic diversification mechanisms give rise to the enormous degree of TCR variability observed in mature T cells: germline and combinatorial diversity as well as junctional and the so-called N-region diversity. In contrast to the situation in immunoglobulin genes somatic hypermutation does not seem to play a significant role in TCR diversification. It is argued here that the enzyme terminal nucleotidyl-transferase is potentially a major factor in generating the immense diversity. We propose furthermore that this enzyme ensures the flexibility of T cell responses to novel antigens by random insertion of so-called N-region nucleotides. Apart from the physiological functions of TCR genes any involvement in the etiology of T cell neoplasia remains to be proven.
