immunocytochemical localization of cathepsin b in rat kidney. ii. electron microscopic study using the protein a-gold technique.thin sections of lowicryl k4m-embedded materials were labeled with protein a-gold complex. gold particles representing the antigen sites for cathepsin b were exclusively confined to lysosomes of each segment of the nephron. the heaviest labeling was noted in the lysosomes of the s1 segment of the proximal tubules. labeling intensity varied considerably with the individual lysosomes. lysosomes of the other tubular segments, such as the s2 and s3 segments of the proximal tubules, distal convoluted ...19863519753
production of extracellular enzymes and cytotoxicity by vibrio vulnificus.thirty-three strains of vibrio vulnificus of clinical and environmental origin were examined for production of 12 extracellular enzymes of potential importance to the virulence of this bacterium. strains of vibrio vulnificus were consistent in their production of protease, mucinase, lipase, chondroitinase, hyaluronidase, dnase, sulfatase, and hemolysin. no differences between clinical and environmental isolates were noted. although none of the enzymes appeared to correlate with the ability of th ...19863522090

blood glucose control and diabetic complications.two hypotheses have been advanced to explain the appearance of microvascular complications in diabetic patients with glycemic control. the genetic hypothesis suggests that the development of diabetic complications is genetically determined and independent of diabetic control, whereas the metabolic hypothesis suggests that long-term hyperglycemia causes the subsequent development of small-blood-vessel complications. we review data that either support or reject these hypotheses and suggest a third ...20123524339
chitinase determinants of vibrio vulnificus: gene cloning and applications of a chitinase probe.to initiate study of the genetic control of chitinolytic activity in vibrios, the chitobiase gene was isolated by cloning chromosomal dna prepared from vibrio vulnificus. chimeric plasmids were constructed from sau3a i partial digests of chromosomal dna by ligating 5 to 15-kilobase fragments into the bamhi site, i.e., in the tcr gene, of pbr322 (amr tcr). the resulting plasmids were transformed into escherichia coli dh1. chitobiase activity of the insert-bearing clones was detected by using a ch ...19863524459
hemorrhagic bullae associated with vibrio vulnificus septicemia. report of two cases.bullous lesions associated with vibrio vulnificus infection developed in two patients, both of whom had hepatic cirrhosis. one patient had a recent history of ingestion of raw oysters, while the other patient had recently exposed skin lacerations to sea water. both patients died within 24 hours of hospitalization, in spite of antibiotic treatment. vibrio vulnificus was isolated from blood and bullae in both patients. histologic examination of skin biopsy specimens revealed epidermal/dermal separ ...19863524472
