    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The alternating copolymerization of styrene and benzylmethacrylate shows a different behaviour at the beginning of the reaction and later on. Thus the composition and the intrinsic viscosity of the products as well as the reaction rate become constant only after the initial stage. The1H-NMR-spectra of alternating and statistical copolymers with equal composition show distinct differences. The spectrum of the alternating copolymer confirms the alternating structure as well as an atactic chain configuration.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die alternierende Copolymerisation von Styrol und Benzylmethacrylat in Gegenwart von Ethylaluminiumsesquichlorid als Katalysator zeigt im Anfangsstadium der Reaktion ein vom weiteren Verlauf abweichendes Verhalten. So nehmen die Zusammensetzung und die Grenzviskositäten der Produkte sowie die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit erst nach der Anfangsphase konstante Werte an. Die1H-NMR-Spektren von alternierenden und statistischen Copolymeren gleicher Bruttozusammensetzung zeigen deutliche Unterschiede. Das Spektrum des alternierenden Copolymeren bestätigt die alternierende Struktur und spricht gleichzeitig für einen ataktischen Kettenaufbau.

    Notes: Abstract  It has been reported that the in vitro development of tumoricidal function in alveolar macrophages from lung cancer patients is reduced significantly when compared to that in peripheral blood monocytes from the same patients or alveolar macrophages from control patients. In the present investigation, a method for potentiating the development of tumoricidal function in alveolar macrophages from lung cancer patients is described. This method, which relies on priming the macrophages with purified, allogeneic peripheral blood lymphocytes from normal donors, could not be demonstrated when autologous lymphocytes from lung cancer patients were used in the priming coculture. The augmentation of tumoricidal function appears to be mediated by one or more soluble factors, since supernatants from cocultures of alveolar macrophages and allogeneic peripheral blood lymphocytes could enhance the cytotoxic function of freshly obtained alveolar macrophages. Furthermore, it appears that NK cells are necessary for this effect, since depletion of CD56+/CD57+ cells from allogeneic lymphocytes eliminated their capacity to enhance alveolar macrophage cytotoxic function. The augmentation of cytotoxic function elicited in alveolar macrophages by this method was not associated with changes in the secretion of tumor necrosis factor α, or interleukin 1β.

    Notes: Abstract  Previous studies have demonstrated that alveolar macrophages from lung cancer patients are impaired in their ability to develop tumoricidal function when stimulated by activators such as interferon γ + lipopolysaccharide. However, these same macrophages have been shown to develop significant tumoricidal function when precultured with macrophage-depleted allogeneic peripheral blood lymphocytes from normal donors, an effect that was lost by the elimination of natural killer cells from the allogeneic lymphocyte population. In the present study, the effect of each activation condition on the expression of mRNA for interleukin-1α (IL-1α), IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and IL-6 was determined using reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction. The results show that the non-permissive activation condition is associated with the expression of mRNA for IL-6 while the permissive activation condition is not. Antibodies against IL-6 were subsequently shown to permit the development of tumoricidal function in alveolar macrophages stimulated with interferon γ + lipopolysaccharide while IL-6 protein was shown to inhibit the stimulatory action of allogeneic lymphocytes on the development of tumoricidal function in the same alveolar macrophages. Neither the permissive (i.e. allogeneic lymphocyte stimulation) nor the non-permissive (i.e. interferon γ + lipopolysaccharide) activation condition had any effect on the capacity of alveolar macrophages from lung cancer patients to express mRNA for IL-1α, IL-1β or TNFα. These results show that IL-6 can regulate the ability of alveolar macrophages from lung cancer patients to be stimulated by interferon γ + lipopolysaccharide to develop significant tumoricidal function. They also show that allogeneic lymphocytes have the capacity to down-regulate IL-6 mRNA synthesis by alveolar macrophages thereby permitting the development and/or expression of macrophage tumoricidal function.
