"Letter to The Editor: Canadian Psychologist": Reply to Dr. Zubek.

Responds to commentary by Zubek (see record 2007-02141-039) on the review of A. W. Pressey & J. P. Zubek's book (see record 2007-02140-023). The purpose of the review was to evaluate a unique and difficult undertaking: a collection of general psychology reprints in a Canadian context. A second but equally important intent was to invite reader reflection on some of the broader issues incidentally exposed by the nature of the task. The reviewer concluded that the book was not well enough balanced to be unreservedly recommended. And so they were not! Dr. Zubek's nine points of complaint must be evaluated by the individual reader who will take the time to scan the original review. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Correction to Rawlins et al.

Reports an error in "The Hippocampus, Collateral Behavior, and Timing" by J. N. P. Rawlins, Gordon Winocur, and Jeffrey A. Gray (Behavioral Neuroscience, 1983, Vol. 97, No. 6, pp. 857-872; see record 1984-19857-001). On page 816 there are several errors. All degrees of freedom presently given as 896 or 840 should be 816. In addition, in the second paragraph "the fifth block of days" should read "the first block of days." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

CD73 expression and fyn-dependent signaling on murine lymphocytes

CD73 is a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchored protein with both ecto-enzyme activity (ecto-5'-nucleotidase) and signal transducing capabilities for human T lymphocytes. We now report an analysis of the distribution and function of CD73 in murine lymphoid tissues made possible by the development of the first monoclonal antibodies (mAb) specific for murine CD73. Subsets of T and B lymphocytes are CD73+ and the level of expression increases with lymphocyte maturation in both species. Among B cells, CD73 is largely restricted to cells which have undergone isotype switching. The signal transmitting function of CD73 is also conserved, as splenic T cells treated with anti-CD73 mAb plus phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate proliferate and secrete IL-2. Fyn-/- mice are unresponsive to CD73 ligation, however, demonstrating the requirement for this tyrosine kinase in CD73-mediated signal transduction. CD73 is down-regulated after mAb plus cross-linking, suggesting that expression may be controlled by interaction with a ligand. Only small numbers of thymocytes are CD73+, so CD73 receptor functions are unlikely to be important for developing T cells. However, immunohistochemical analysis reveals that reticular and vascular cells throughout the thymus and other lymphoid tissues are markedly CD73+. Therefore, CD73 might mediate lymphocyte-stromal cell interactions or condition the local microenvironment to facilitate lymphocyte development and/or function.
