TL;DR: It is shown that anthracyclin-induced CRT translocation induces the rapid, preapoptotic translocation of calreticulin (CRT) to the cell surface and is identified as a key feature determining anticancer immune responses.
Abstract: Anthracyclin-treated tumor cells are particularly effective in eliciting an anticancer immune response, whereas other DNA-damaging agents such as etoposide and mitomycin C do not induce immunogenic cell death. Here we show that anthracyclins induce the rapid, preapoptotic translocation of calreticulin (CRT) to the cell surface. Blockade or knockdown of CRT suppressed the phagocytosis of anthracyclin-treated tumor cells by dendritic cells and abolished their immunogenicity in mice. The anthracyclin-induced CRT translocation was mimicked by inhibition of the protein phosphatase 1/GADD34 complex. Administration of recombinant CRT or inhibitors of protein phosphatase 1/GADD34 restored the immunogenicity of cell death elicited by etoposide and mitomycin C, and enhanced their antitumor effects in vivo. These data identify CRT as a key feature determining anticancer immune responses and delineate a possible strategy for immunogenic chemotherapy.

TL;DR: This new understanding may allow the design of agents that mimic mitomycin C's economy of structure and can crosslink other sequences.

TL;DR: An improved method for the mixed leukocyte culture test is developed, allowing evaluation of low levels of stimulation in homologous cell mixtures.
Abstract: We have developed an improved method for the mixed leukocyte culture test. Control values, as determined by rates of incorporation of thymidine, are very low, allowing evaluation of low levels of stimulation in homologous cell mixtures. One-way stimulation is assayed by treating the cells of one individual with mitomycin C; treated cells cannot respond (incorporate thymidine) but can still stimulate homologous untreated cells to do so.

TL;DR: Analysis of sister chromatid exchanges may permit more sensitive detection of damage to DNA caused by other agents than has previously been possible by classical cytological techniques.
Abstract: Sister chromatid exchanges in chromosomes from human lymphocytes grown two replication cycles in medium containing 5-bromodeoxyuridine can be detected by fluorescence microscopy after staining with the bisbenzimidazole dye 33258 Hoechst. These exchanges are much more frequent than chromosome or chromatid breaks and appear to be partly but not entirely due to 5-bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. Sister chromatid exchanges are extremely sensitive indicators of chromosome damage produced by DNA cross-linking agents such as mitomycin C. Significant increases in the sister chromatid exchange frequency occur with 3 ng/ml of mitomycin C; higher concentrations of mitomycin C induce further sister chromatid exchanges. Comparatively few gross chromosomal aberrations are seen in cells exhibiting as many as one hundred or more sister chromatid exchanges. Most of the damage caused by mitomycin C to chromosomal DNA is apparently repaired without detectable changes in chromosome morphology. Analysis of sister chromatid exchanges may permit more sensitive detection of damage to DNA caused by other agents than has previously been possible by classical cytological techniques.
