Absence of unsaturated fatty acid synthesis in murine T lymphocytes.
(East Carolina University, 1989-08)Stearic acid is toxic for T lymphocytes in vitro but has little effect on B lymphocytes. To investigate the molecular basis for this difference, purified murine T and B lymphocytes were compared for their abilities to ... -
Molecular basis for the immunosuppressive action of stearic acid on T cells.
(East Carolina University, 1990-07)Studies were performed to determine the mechanism by which stearic acid (18: 0) selectively inhibits T-dependent immune responses in vitro. Incubation of mitogen-activated B and T cells with 18:0 resulted in dissimilar ...
