    Abstract Many immune response genes are highly polymorphic, consistent with the selective pressure imposed by pathogens over evolutionary time, and the need to balance infection control with the risk of auto-immunity. Epidemiological and genomic studies have identified many genetic variants that confer susceptibility or resistance to pathogenic micro-organisms. While extensive polymorphism has been reported for the granzyme B (GzmB) gene, its relevance to pathogen immunity is unexplored. Here, we describe the biochemical and cytotoxic functions of a common allele of GzmB (GzmBW) common in wild mouse. While retaining 'Asp-ase' activity, GzmBW has substrate preferences that differ considerably from GzmBP, which is common to all inbred strains. In vitro, GzmBW preferentially cleaves recombinant Bid, whereas GzmBP activates pro-caspases directly. Recombinant GzmBW and GzmBP induced equivalent apoptosis of uninfected targets cells when delivered with perforin in vitro. Nonetheless, mice homozygous for GzmBW were unable to control murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection, and succumbed as a result of excessive liver damage. Although similar numbers of anti-viral CD8 T cells were generated in both mouse strains, GzmBW-expressing CD8 T cells isolated from infected mice were unable to kill MCMV-infected targets in vitro. Our results suggest that known virally-encoded inhibitors of the intrinsic (mitochondrial) apoptotic pathway account for the increased susceptibility of GzmBW mice to MCMV. We conclude that different natural variants of GzmB have a profound impact on the immune response to a common and authentic viral pathogen.

    Abstract There is growing evidence that lymphocytes impact the development and/or function of other lymphocyte populations. Based on such observations we have tested whether the NK cell compartment was phenotypically and functionally altered in the absence of B and/or T cells. Here we show that T cell deficiency significantly accelerates BM NK cell production and the subsequent seeding of splenic and liver NK cell compartments. In contrast, B cell deficiency reduces splenic NK cell survival. In the absence of T and B cells, the size of the NK cell compartments is determined by the combination of these positive and negative effects. Even though NK cell homeostasis is significantly altered, NK cells from T and/or B cell-deficient mice show a normal capacity to kill a susceptible target cell line and to produce IFN. Nevertheless, we noted that the usage of MHC class I-specific Ly49 family receptors was significantly altered in the absence of T and/or B cells. In general, B cell deficiency expanded Ly49 receptor usage, while T cell deficiency exerted both positive and negative effects. These findings show that B and T cells significantly and differentially influence the homeostasis and the phenotype of NK cells.

    Abstract Absorption, melting temperature and linear dichroism measurements were performed to investigate the interaction with DNA of a series of 16 tricyclic and tetracyclic compounds related to the antiviral agent B-220. The relative DNA affinity of the test compounds containing an indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline, pyridopyrazino[2,3-b]indoles or pyrazino[2,3-b]indole planar chromophore varies significantly depending on the nature of the side chain grafted onto the indole nitrogen. Compounds with a dimethylaminoethyl chain strongly bind to DNA and exhibit a preference for GC-rich DNA sequences, as revealed by DNase I footprinting. Weaker DNA interactions were detected with those bearing a morpholinoethyl side chain. The incorporation of a 2,3-dihydroxypropyl side chain does not reinforce the DNA interaction compared with the unsubstituted analogues. Both the DNA relaxation assay and cytotoxicity study using two human leukemia cell lines sensitive (HL-60) or resistant (HL-60/MX2) to the antitumor drug mitoxantrone, indicate that topoisomerase II is not a privileged target for the test compounds which only weakly interfere with the catalytic activity of the DNA cleaving enzyme. Cytometry studies showed that the most cytotoxic compounds induce a massive accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Collectively, the data show a relationship between DNA binding and cytotoxicity in the indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline series.

    Abstract In neurosurgery, a current challenge is to provide localized therapy in deep and difficult-to-access brain areas with millimeter accuracy. In this prospect, new surgical devices such as microrobots are being developed, which require controlled inbrain navigation to ensure the safety and efficiency of the intervention. In this context, the device tracking technology has to answer a three-sided challenge: invasiveness, performance, and facility of use. Although ultrasound seems appropriate for transcranial tracking, the skull remains an obstacle because of its significant acoustic perturbations. A compact and affordable ultrasound-based tracking system that minimizes skull-related disturbances is proposed here. This system consists of three emitters fixed on the patient's head and a one-millimeter receiver embedded in the surgical device. The 3D position of the receiver is obtained by trilateration based on time of flight measurements. The system demonstrates a submillimeter tracking accuracy through an 8.9 mm thick skull plate phantom. This result opens multiple perspectives in terms of millimeter accurate navigation for a large number of neurobiomedical devices.

    Abstract Molecular polymorphism of the B complex was studied in serologically defined B19 haplotypes by use of class I, class II, and class IV probes in Southern blot experiments in chickens. All chickens studied shared identical class IV restriction patterns. In contrast, class I and class II probes revealed six and five subtypes of B19 haplotype, respectively. These subtypes may be resolved in three homozygous genotypes and their corresponding heterozygous combinations. Previous genetic selection allowed us to distinguish two subpopulations in these B19 chickens with regard to the fate of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-induced tumors. Molecular genotyping was applied to B19 chickens challenged with RSV in order to determine whether there is a correlation between one of the molecularly defined subtypes and the progressor/regressor phenotypes of the chickens. None of the molecularly defined subtypes correlated with the progressor or regressor phenotype of the challenged birds.
