metabolism of 1-naphthol by tyrosinase.1-naphthol was metabolized by the polyphenol oxidase, tyrosinase, primarily to 1,2-naphthoquinone and to small amounts of 1,4-naphthoquinone as well as to covalently bound products. the inhibition of covalent binding by ethylenediamine, which reacts specifically with 1,2-naphthoquinone but not 1,4-naphthoquinone, suggested that most of the covalent binding was due to 1,2-naphthoquinone or a metabolite of similar structure. the activation by tyrosinase of 1-naphthol to covalently bound products s ...20143929786
t-lymphocyte subset phenotypes: a multisite evaluation of normal subjects and patients with aids.the present study was undertaken to determine normal ranges for blood lymphocytes labeled with the monoclonal antibodies okt3, okt11, okt4, and okt8 and for the okt4/okt8 ratio. in addition, 26 patients with aids, 51 aids suspects, and 44 patients with infections were studied. the results of these determinations from six different study sites indicate that there is excellent intersite agreement in normal values obtained. these normal ranges may be used in clinical laboratory reporting. data from ...20143930126
synthesis of dihomoprostaglandins from adrenic acid (7,10,13,16-docosatetraenoic acid) by human endothelial cells.human umbilical vein endothelial cells were found to contain adrenic acid (22:4) in their cellular lipids. since this fatty acid may be metabolized by cyclooxygenase in the kidney, the metabolism of adrenic acid was studied in endothelial cell cultures. [14c]adrenic acid was metabolized to several more polar metabolites. two of these metabolites co-migrated on hplc with 1 alpha,1 beta-dihomo-8-ketoprostaglandin f1 alpha (the metabolite of 1 alpha, 1 beta-dihomoprostaglandin i2) and 1 alpha,1 bet ...19853931686
de novo expression of t cell markers on theileria parva-transformed lymphoblasts in cattle.we describe monoclonal antibodies that detect two new membrane antigens on bovine t cells. one molecule is only expressed on activated t cells and has a m.w. of 100,000. the other antigen is a glycoprotein that is precipitated as two bands of m.w. 150,000 and 158,000 and is expressed on a subpopulation of t cells and all myeloid cells. we show that when bovine lymphocytes are transformed by the protozoan parasite theileria parva, both antigens become expressed on the cell surface. the infected c ...19853934278

topographic organization of projections from the amygdala to the hypothalamus of the rat.afferent fibers from the amygdala to subdivisions of lateral, ventromedial and dorsomedial hypothalamic nuclei were investigated in rat by retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase. small (intranuclear size) peroxidase deposits were placed in hypothalamic nuclei by iontophoresis of a tracer solution containing poly-l-alpha-ornithine which greatly limited diffusion. the medial, central and amygdalo-hippocampal nuclei of the amygdala were found to be the major donors of amygdaloid afferent fi ...19854022458

detection of reticulo-endothelial blockade with low-dose test agent.blood clearance and organ extraction of a low-dose reticulo-endothelial test agent, technetium labelled tin colloid (ttc), was measured in groups of rabbits pretreated with reticulo-endothelial blocking agents. electron microscopy and ultrastructure analysis confirmed that kupffer cells extracted ttc. pretreatment with silica caused reduced kupffer cell uptake and spillover of ttc into the spleen. pretreatment with sheep red cells caused reduced kupffer cell uptake and reduced splenic uptake but ...19854027180

vibrio vulnificus resists phagocytosis in the absence of serum opsonins.invasive disease caused by vibrio vulnificus may result partially from resistance to phagocytic host defense mechanisms. the present studies show that v. vulnificus resists phagocytosis by murine peritoneal macrophages in the absence of serum opsonins and extracellular bacterial products, apparently through the anti-phagocytic properties of the bacterial surface.19854030101

time-dependent interfacial charging effects of electrical fields applied to biological systems.an important aspect of the interaction of a biological system with an externally produced electric field is that of charge separation and interfacial charging. this aspect has been ignored in some recent experimental and theoretical work. in the case of small regions of lower electrical resistivity imbedded in a higher resistivity medium, charge separation across the lower resistivity regions will result in charging of the interfaces between the lower and higher resistivity regions. the field pr ...20144033161
the early revascularization of membranous bone.the experimental finding that membranous onlay bone grafts maintain volume and viability to a greater extent than do endochondral grafts may be related to the more rapid vascularization of membranous bone. microangiographic techniques were used to study the rates of vascularization of membranous and endochondral bone grafts in adult white new zealand rabbits at 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days after bone grafting. vascularization patterns were quantified microscopically using a modified point-counting t ...19854034769
