We construct new $U_q(a^{(2)}_{2n-1})$ and $U_q(e^{(2)}_6)$ invariant
$R$-matrices and comment on the general construction of $R$-matrices for
twisted algebras. We use the former to construct $S$-matrices for $b^{(1)}_n$
affine Toda solitons and their bound states, identifying the lowest breathers
with the $b^{(1)}_n$ particles.Comment: Latex, 24 pages. Various misprints corrected. New section added
  clarifying relationship between R-matrices and S-matrice

G(ANH)MTETRA, A NATURALLY-OCCURRING 1,6-ANHYDRO MURAMYL DIPEPTIDE, INDUCES GRANULOCYTE-COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR EXPRESSION IN HUMAN MONOCYTES - A MOLECULAR ANALYSIS

N-Acetyiglucosaminyl-1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamyl-m-diaminopimelyl-D-alanine [G(Anh)MTetra], a naturally occurring breakdown product of peptidoglycan from bacterial cell walls, was studied for its ability to induce granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mRNA and protein expression in human adherent monocytes. Resting monocytes did not express G-CSF mRNA or secrete G-CSF protein. In contrast, monocytes exposed to G(Anh)MTetra showed a dose-dependent increase in G-CSF mRNA accumulation, which correlates with the secretion of G-CSF protein. Maximal levels of G-CSF mRNA were reached within 2 h of activation. Expression of G-CSF was mediated by an increase in the stability of G-CSF transcripts rather than by an increase in the transcription rate of the G-CSF gene. Experiments with the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide revealed that G(Anh)MTetra-induced G-CSF mRNA expression was independent of new protein synthesis, Furthermore, it was shown that the effect of G(Anh)MTetra was regulated by a protein kinase C-dependent pathway, whereas protein kinase A and tyrosine kinases were not involved. Finally, it was shown that G(Anh)MTetra also induced G-CSF mRNA expression in human endothelial cells. The data indicate that, besides lipopolysaccharide, other naturally occurring bacterial cell wall components are able to induce G-CSF expression in different hematopoietic cells.</p
