Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5206597
The following investigations were conducted during the period of this grant: measurement of the insertion of oxygenated sterol compounds (OSC) into human red cells and lymphocyte membranes; the relationship of such insertion to functional and morphological alterations such as echinocyte formation and decreased osmotic fragility in red cells, and inhibition of E-rosette formation and lymphocyte capping in human lymphocytes; a study of the binding of OSC by various lipoprotein fractions of human serum; a study of the effects of human serum lipoprotein on the insertion of OSC into red cell and lymphocyte membranes; a study of the effects of OSC and ML-236B (Compactin) on human lymphocyte proliferation in vitro; a study of the effects of OSC and ML-236B on the synthesis of sterol and nonsterol derived products of mevalonic acid in human lymphocytes; a study of the initiation of cell growth in human lymphocytes by mevalonic acid; and a study of the inhibition of the formation of CFU-C in vitro from human bone marrow mononuclear cells by OSC and ML-236.
