The growth factor receptor c-Kit has several well-characterized functions during the development of numerous cell types, including red blood cells, mast cells, and melanocytes. Its role in Schwann cells has been described in transformed cells derived from malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors fro

Comparisons were made of whole cell voltage clamp recordings from cultures of normal Schwann cells (SC) from three human subjects and from three neurofibrosarcoma cell lines. The whole cell K+ (K) currents of normal and tumor cells could be divided into three types based on voltage activation range,
## Abstract The neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) gene functions as a tumor suppressor gene. One known function of neurofibromin, the NF1 protein product, is to accelerate the slow intrinsic GTPase activity of Ras to increase the production of inactive rasGDP, with wideβranging effects on p21ras pathw
We examined the genetic expression of 2 CXC chemokines (IL-8, IP-lo), 5 CC chemokines (MCP-I, MIP-la, MIP-IP, RANTES, 1309) and I C chemokine (SCM-I /lymphotactin/ ATAC) in various human T-cell lines. By Northern blot analysis, HTLV-I -positive T-cell lines were found to express a number of chemokin
