✦ Synopsis


The presence of preproenkephalin mRNA in tumor cell lines derived from myeloid and mast cells was analyzed by RNA dot blot hybridization. A B-cell lymphoma was negative for preproenkephalin mRNA, but several T-cell lymphomas were positive. A mastocytoma and two macrophage cell lines were found to have high levels of preproenkephalin mRNA. Purified natural macrophages and mast cells also possessed easily detectable levels of this mRNA.

## Abstract β‐Defensins are natural peptide antibiotics whose immunomodulatory functions are poorly understood. In the present study, macrophages were found to migrate to human β‐defensins (HBD)‐1 to ‐4 using GΞ±~i~ proteins as well as MAPK ERK, p38 and JNK as signal transducers. In addition, mast c
