    Notes: Abstract Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is the fifth commonest cause of death from cancer in men in the United Kingdom. Most patients present early with superficial disease, though with current treatment up to 20% progress to invasive disease, which has a poor prognosis. Better local treatments are required to limit this tumour progression. The ease of access to the bladder via a catheter provides the ideal opportunity for antibody (Ab) targeted therapy. We have previously shown that indium-111 labelled anti-MUCI mucin Ab C595 selectively localises to bladder tumours after intravesical administration. We have selected copper-67 as an alternative radiolabel with suitable physical characteristics for radioimmunotherapy. This communication demonstrates that C595 can be reproducibly labelled with67Cu and that the radioimmunoconjugate is both stable and maintains high immunoreactivity. Pilot studies on cystectomy specimens in a novel ex vivo system and in one patient confirmed the ability of this conjugate to localise to tumour after intravesical administration. On the basis of these studies we are now in a position to study the intravesical administration of67Cu-labelled C595 in patients with bladder cancer with a view to a therapeutic trial.

    Ethylene binding sites in higher plants (1996)

    Notes: Abstract A review of work carried out on ethylene binding in higher plants is presented. The use of radio-labelled displacement assays has identified specific 14C-ethylene binding in all tissues so far studied. virtually all higher plants studied contain at least two classes of ethylene binding site, one of which fully associates and dissociates in about 2 h and a class of sites that takes up to 20 h to become fully saturated. Although the types of site differ in their rate constants of association they have similar and high affinities for ethylene. A series of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants shown to vary in sensitivity to ethylene have been analysed for 14C-ethylene binding. One mutant, eti 5, which was shown to be unaffected by ethylene concentrations of up to 10,000 μL L−1 was also shown to exhibit reduced binding. In vivo and in vitro studies on pea have shown that ethylene binding can be detected in this tissue. In vitro studies have shown that both membrane and cytosolic fractions contain measurable amounts of ethylene binding. Interestingly, cytosolic ethylene binding consisted only of the fast associating/dissociating type. Developing cotyledons of Phaseolus vulgaris contain a higher concentration of ethylene binding sites that other tissues and only contain the slow dissociating component. These facets have allowed the purification of ethylene binding protein(s) (EBP) from this tissue. The proteins which bind ethylene can be resolved into two bands of 26 and 28 kDa on semi-denaturing PAGE and the proteins appear to be single entities on a 2-D gels. Data will be presented which indicate a possible role for heterotrimetric G-proteins in the early stages of the ethylene signal transduction pathway.

    Studies on the possible role of protein phosphorylation in the transduction of the ethylene signal (1996)

    Notes: Abstract Previous work in our laboratory has demonstrated the existence of high affinity binding sites for the plant growth regulator ethylene. The ethylene binding protein (EBP), from Phaseolus cotyledons, shows many of the characteristics of a functional receptor for ethylene, has been purified on SDS-PAGE and polyclonal antibodies raised in rabbits. Current work involves the investigation of the ethylene transduction signal in a number of ethylene-responsive tissues. In peas, it has been shown that ethylene promotes the phosphorylation of specific proteins of similar molecular weight to the EBP from Phaseolus. Such ethylene-induced phosphorylation can be inhibited by the ethylene antagonist, 2,5-NBD. The antibodies raised to the EBP from Phaseolus have been shown to immunoprecipitate 32P-labelled proteins from membrane protein preparations obtained from pea tissue. Studies on ethylene binding in pea have also shown that the binding of ethylene may be regulated by phosphorylation. Thus, under conditions which promote phosphorylation, binding is inhibited, whereas the reverse is true under conditions which enhance dephosphorylation. Further work is described which examines the effect of protein kinase, protein phosphatase and calcium channel inhibitors on ethylene-induced phosphorylation in peas, together with wild-type (WT) and ethylene insensitive (eti) mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana. The effects of these treatments can be monitored in vivo using the ethylene-induced triple response as a screen. Furthermore, the protein profiles of such treated seedlings can then be compared by labelling protein extracts with 32P and subjecting the samples to SDS-PAGE followed by autoradiography.
