Abstract excerpt
B cells and macrophages both activate NF-kappaB/Rel in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), but differ in sensitivity to LPS and in downstream genes that are activated. CD14 is a high-affinity receptor for LPS found on macrophages, but not B cells. We expressed human CD14 (hCD14) in the mouse B lymphoma, 70Z/3, and a mutant, 1B8, which responds slowly to LPS, to test whether expression of hCD14 could correct or...
