Cell lines NCI-460 and NCI-1155 are large cell carcinomas, NCI-820 is a bronchoalveolar type NSCLC, NCI-1355 is an adenocarcinoma, all established at the National Cancer Institute (gift of H. Oie, NCI, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).
We have shown that α-actinin is abundant in the bone marrow stroma matrix, presumably at focal adhesion sites [ 5 ] . We have also reported that a 31 kDa amino-terminal α-actinin fragment, which we have named mactinin, is generated by the degradation of extracellular α-actinin by monocyte-secreted urokinase [ 6 ] . Furthermore, we have demonstrated that mactinin is present in inflammation caused by Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, by examining bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from mice with infection [ 6 ] . It was not present in mice not challenged with P. carinii , suggesting that inflammaton is necessary for mactinin formation.
Similarly, we have reported that bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from uninfected mice contains no mactinin, in contrast to fluid from mice infected with P. carinii [ 6 ] .
Diagnosis of infection was based on clinical data and the isolation of bacteria, either from a normally sterile site or from quantitative cultures of tracheal aspirate or bronchoalveolar lavage.
