The carbapenem imipenem and the penem CGP 31608 demonstrated unusually good bactericidal activity against slowly growing bacteria. In contrast to that of penicillin, the rate of killing was independent of growth rate. In logarithmically growing cells, a decrease in growth rate was paralleled by a decrease in the relative activity of only one of four autolysins measured (membrane-bound endopeptidase), suggesting that autolysis induced by penicillin G may be rate limited by this enzyme. Imipenem, on the other hand, appeared to trigger different autolysins in Escherichia coli, as evidenced by differences in the structure of peptidoglycan after imipenem- versus penicillin-induced autolysis.

The orphan homeobox gene HOX11L2 was previously found to be transcriptionally activated as a result of the t(5;14)(q35;q32) translocation in three T-ALL cases. We now tested by RT-PCR Hox11L2 expression in 23 consecutive cases of T-ALL (15 children aged 0.8-14 years, eight adults aged 17-55 years) and as control 13 B-ALL patients from a single institution. Hox11L2 expression was undetectable in all patients with B-ALL, nor in adults with T-ALL. Nine children (60% of the cases), all boys, expressed Hox11L2. Blast cells from most of the latter patients carried surface CD1a, CD10 and not CD34 antigens, in contrast to the other children. FISH, M-FISH and IPM-FISH analysis failed to detect a t(5;14)(q35;q32) in one of them, which suggests a possible distinct genetic mechanism in Hox11L2 expression induction. Hence, Hox11L2 expression seems to be the most frequent abnormality in childhood T-ALL to date, comparable to the t(12;21) in child B-ALL.
