lysozyme synthesis by established human and murine histiocytic lymphoma cell lines.a human cell line established in culture from a histiocytic lymphoma patient synthesizes and secretes the monocyte-granulocyte specific enzyme lysozyme. 18 other human cell lines with characteristics of t-lymphocyte, b-lymphocyte, burkitt's lymphoma, non-burkitt's lymphoma, myeloma, and bone marrow epithelial cells were not associated with lysozyme. among murine cell lines, lysozyme was produced by (a) three histiocytic lymphoma or macrophage lines, which mediate antibody-dependent phagocytosis ...19761083890
cell-mediated immunity: delayed-type hypersensitivity and cytotoxic responses are mediated by different t-cell subclasses.cell-mediated immunity includes both the generation of cytotoxic cells and initiation of delayed-type hypersensitivity (dth). the resting t-cell population, before stimulation by antigen, already contains cells of the lyl subclass that are programmed to initiate dth (and helper function) but not cytotoxic responses, as well as ly23 cells which can generate killer activity (and suppressive function) but not dth. the central implication of these findings is that the broad division between humoral ...20011083891

multiple h-2 linked immune response gene control of h-2 d-associated t-cell-mediated lympholysis to trinitrophenyl-modified autologous cells: ir-like genes mapping to the left of i-a and within the i region.one of the more recent associations of the murine h-2 major histocompatibility complex (mhc) with immune function has been the finding that cytotoxic t-effector cells generated by sensitization with viral-infected (1-6), chemically modified (7-9), or weak transplantation antigen-associated (10,11) syngeneic cells can efficiently lyse target cells which express the same viral, chemical, or weak antigenic agent, and which share the h-2k and/or h-2d regions of the mhc with the responding and/or sti ...19761087329
effects of thymectomy and antithymocyte serum on spontaneous regression of friend virus-induced erythroleukemia.to evaluate the role of immune response in regression of leukemia, we studied the effect of immunosuppression on the spontaneous regression of a leukemia induced by a specific strain of friend murine leukemia virus complex (rfv). thymectomy of newborn but not adult outbred swiss mice markedly inhibited regression. the effect of antithymocyte serum (ats) on regression depended on the timing of ats treatment. regression was markedly inhibited in leukemic mice given ats just before the start of reg ...19761087346

racial distribution of alpha1-antitrypsin variants among junior high school students.a survey of alpha1-antitrypsin phenotypes and serum trypsin inhibitory capacities was performed in 1,841 seventh grade junior high school students. antitrypsin deficiency states were detected only in white subjects (3.04) per cent) and not in 461 subjects of other races or of mexican origin. a screening level of serum trypsin inhibitory capacity at 75 per cent of normal or less included all of the deficient phenotypes, but phenotyping was necessary to eliminate a small percentage of normal and u ...20051087540
[rsponses of the primary afferents of the frog lateral semicircular canal to caloric stimuli following section of the eighth nerve].in curarized rana temporaria, after transection of the 8th nerve, responses of 75 primary afferents of the lsc nerve to short local caloric stimule (0.5--12 degrees c over the canal temperature) creating theexcitatory current of lsc endolymph, were studied. in 41 per cent of the units (group a) the maximal (peak) frequencies (pf) of responses were shown to be associated either by linear or semilograithmic relations with the peak temperature (pt). in 23 per cent of the units (group b), pfps revea ...20051087611
growth and death of diploid and transformed human fibroblasts.three possible explanations are presented for the differences in growth potential between human diploid fibroblasts of finite life-span and permanent transformed lines: 1) only diploid cells have a molecular clock mechanism which counts cell divisions prior to senescence. two hypothetical examples of such mechanisms are described; however, the available evidence argues against a clock mechanism for aging in fibroblasts. 2) cells become committed with a given probability to a slow buildup in prot ...19751088944

antimicrobial resistance of shigellae isolated in michigan.patterns of antimicrobial resistance were studied for 213 strains of shigellae isolated in rural and urban areas of michigan by quantitative techniques: 66% of these organisms were resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline, cephalexin, or chloramphenicol or had multiple resistance to various combinations of these antibiotics. the incidence of resistant organisms was higher in the detroit-wayne county area, which is the most urban part of the state. nalidixic acid and oxolinic acid were noted to be q ...19751089819
observations on the serologic changes in the recombinants in shigella flexneri serotype 4a.studies on the antigenic composition of 84 diagnostic strains of s. flexneri serotype 4a and their lac+ recombinants from a cross with e. coli hfrc were carried out. considerable differentiation of agglutination reaction was found both in original material and in recombinants. an interesting group included recombinants which completely lost their capability to agglutinate with sera specific for type and group antigens and preserved only the capability to agglutinate in the polyvalent serum of s. ...19751090112
pathophysiology of shigella diarrhea in the rhesus monkey: intestinal transport, morphological, and bacteriological studies.in contrast to the "toxigenic diarrheas" caused by vibrio cholerae and escherichia coli, the site and mechanism of fluid loss in shigellosis are unknown. the occurrence of watery diarrhea in shigellosis suggests involvement of the small bowel. therefore, jejunal, ileal, and colonic water and electrolyte transport was studied in shigella flexneri 2a-infected monkeys. infected animals fell into three groups: dysentery alone, diarrhea alone, or diarrhea and dysentery. in controls, net water, sodium ...19751090480
occurrence of the bacteriophage lambda receptor in some enterobacteriaceae.in escherichia coli k-12, the receptor for phage lambda is an outer membrane protein which inactivates the phage in vitro. lambda receptor activity was found in extracts from all wild strains of e. coli tested, although most of them fail to support growth of the phage. in some cases this failure is due to a masking of the receptor in vivo, the bacteria being unable to adsorb the phage or to react with antireceptor antibodies. in other cases, adsorption does occur, and the nature of the block in ...19751090748

phage conversion of shigella flexneri group antigens.a temperate phage, designated sf6, has been isolated from shigella flexneri 3a. characterization of sf6 revealed that it possesses the capacity for converting the s. flexneri 3,4 group antigen complex to group factor 6. serological studies and chemical analysis of lipopolysaccharide from converted strains suggest that group factor 6 is a reflection of an acetylation of the preexisting 3,4 antigen complex. evidence is provided that the 3,4 group antigen complex functions, at least in part, as a c ...19751091548
detection of a leukocytic endogenous mediator-like mediator of serum amino acid and zinc depression during various infectious illnesses.serum samples from patients with many different kinds of infection were shown to contain a substance characteristic of leukocytic endogenous mediator. generalized bacterial infections produced more leukocytic endogenous mediator than did localized ones; viral infections produced very little. in typhoid fever, mediator concentrations increased before the onset of illness.19751091555

superiority of macconkey's agar over salmonella-shigella agar for isolation of shigella dysenteriae type 1.the efficiency of macconkey's agar in the isolation of various types of shigella was compared with that of salmonella-shigella (ss) agar during an extensive 18-month outbreak of disease caused by shigella. in all, 1,580 isolates of shigella were obtained from 12,307 rectal swab and fecal samples of patients with diarrhea and their contacts by direct plating onto macconkey's and ss agars. shigella dysenteriae type 1 and shigella flexneri constituted 55 percent and 33 percent of all isolates, resp ...19751094073
transmissible substrate-utilizing ability in enterobacteria.three of 152 strains of escherichia coli transmitted their ability to utilize sucrose (sac+) to other strains by conjugation. the transfer factor of one of them and of a sac+ salmonella thompson strain was thermosensitive. the raffinose-utilizing ability of 27 of 163 e. coli strains was also transmissible. transmissible raffinose-utilizing ability was a feature of porcine enterpathogenic strains possessing the k88 antigen. the determinants controlling raffinose utilization (raf) and k88 antigen ...19751094091
bacteremia in suckling rabbits after oral challenge with vibrio parahaemolyticus.vibrio parahaemolyticus, a halophilic marine enteropathogen, produces diarrhea in man after ingestion of contaminated seafood. only strains capable of producing beta-hemolysis (kanagawa-positive strains) are enteropathogenic. yet the majority of marine isolants are nonhemolytic and kanagawa negative. studies were initiated in suckling rabbits in an attempt to elucidate pathogenetic mechanisms. fasting animals were infected orally with kanagawa-positive and kanagawa-negative strains of v. parahae ...19751095481
role of immunoglobulins in protection against shigella-induced keratoconjunctives.various immunoglobulin preparations were tested for their ability to protect guinea pig eyes from infection by a virulent strain of shigella flexneri. secretory immunoglobulin a was effective in delaying or preventing keratoconjunctivitis in eight guinea pigs when it was used to precoat the organism, and was also placed in the eye with the inoculum. neither immunoglobulin g nor immunoglobulin m gave any protection when used in the same way. protection by secretory immunoglobulin a appeared to be ...19751095483

shigella strains associated with infantile diarrhea in the kaohsiung area.in 1969 and 1974, 375 shigella strains were isolated in the kaohsiung area, and their serotypes and in vitro susceptibility to antimicorbial agents were studied. in 1969, 249 (16.2%) strains were isolated from 1,476 specimens collected from infantile and young children dirrheal cases, whereas 126 strains (11.6%) were isolated from 1,086 specimens in 1969. the isolation rates were higher in may (21.2%), october (20.8%), april (20.6%), august (19.7), november (18.8%) and january (18.5%), than in o ...19751097211
chronic vulvovaginitis in children due to shigella flexneri.although previous reports have implicated shigella flexneri in resistant or chronic cases of vulvovaginitis in children, no authors have described the clinical findings of this condition. the report presents four cases of persistent vulvovaginitis in prepubertal indian girls from different reservation communities in arizona. s. flexneri was isolated in pure culture from the vaginal discharge of each patient. all four cases were characterized by a prolonged vaginitis with a bloody, purulent disc ...19751098002
studies on the energetic metabolism of shigella flexneri and escherichia coli hybrids devoid of penetration ability. ii. oxygen uptake and dehydrogenase activity.oxygen uptake and dehydrogenase activity are studied with lac+ kcpminus hybrids of shigella flexneri, being avirulent to the eyes of guinea pigs, because of having lost ability for penetration in epithelial cells. these strains were obtained by hybridization of the virulent strain shigella flexneri 222 5 a with the hfr strain escherichia coli k-12 p4x. it is established that lac+ kcp minus hybrids are characterized by significant decrease of respiratory activity. this decrease is outlined as a t ...19751098322
[the anodic-moving thermolabile antigen (ata) of gram-negative bacteria: its occurrence in rough mutants of shigella flexneri and escherichia coli(author's transl)].the thermolabile antigen (ata) moving to the anode, discovered by us (9) and also described by larsson et al. (8), could be detected in ra-, rb-, re- and rd-mutants of sh. flexneri and, in smaller amounts, in rd- and re- mutants of e. coli o8:k27:h. so it proves to be different from kunin's common antigen (7). our results lead to the conclusion that ata is located in a more inner part of the bacterial cell wall and is fixed by noncovalent linkages.19751098323

acetanilides: effects on invertebrate neurons correlated with analgesic activity in vertebrates.identified neurons in the buccal ganglion of the marine mollusc navanax inermis were used to examine the effects of acetanilides on neuronal membrane properties. acetanilides increased the membrane potential and conductance of these neurons in a dose-dependent, reversible manner. these events would have the effect of decreasing membrane excitability. acetanilides increased the slope of the curve of membrane potential as a function of log [k+]o from 33 to 58 mv decade change in [k+]o and decrease ...20051151738
pentobarbital pharmacokinetics in the normal and in the hepatectomized rat.the pharmacokinetics of pentobarbital, a barbiturate metabolized by the liver, was compared in normal and in hepatectomized rats. the blood concentration time curve following a single intravenous injection of pentobarbital was fitted to a two-compartment open model. both the volume of the central compartment and the elimination rate constant were significantly reduced in hepatectomized rats. it is concluded that the liver plays a role both in the metabolism and the distribution of pentobarbital.19751151743
a study of absorption of compounds from the rat biliary tree by retrograde intrabiliary injection (rii).absorption of compounds from the biliary tree of rats was studied by a retrograde intrabiliary injection (rii) technique. after rii of a number of compounds in volumes that exceeded the maximum distended capacity of the biliary tree, only that volume of rii solution which corresponded to biliary tree capacity remained therein. furthermore, this latter portion of rii solution was absorbed by a first-order process when the duration of bile duct cannula occlusion was extended. thus, the present stu ...19751151745
effects of sodium acetylsalicylate on body temperature of monkeys under heat exposure.exposure of taiwan monkeys to 38 degrees c ambient temperature caused: a) raised body temperature, b) restlessness and struggling, c) increased evaporative heat loss and d) increase in tail skin temperature. after the administration of sodium acetylsalicylate, 100 to 250 mg/kg intraperitoneally or 4 to 15 mg intracerebroventricularly (third ventricle) the same heat load caused: a) less increase in body temperature, b) no restlessness or struggling, c) an initially higher rate of evaporative heat ...19751151748
intracellular recordings of rod responses during dark-adaptation.1. dark-adaptation of rod photoreceptors has been studied in the isolated axolotl (ambystoma mexicanum) retina by intracellular recordings. rod responsiveness was greatly reduced immediately after a 30 sec partial bleach, but partially recovered with time in the dark. 2. in parallel spectrophotometric measurements using isolated retinas, regeneration of the rod pigment could not be detected after a 30 sec bleach. 3. during rod dark-adaptation, the response of a rod to a given stimulus increased ...20051151778

2-aryloxymethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-1,4-oxazines, a new class of antidepressants.some 2-aryloxymethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-1,4-oxazines have been shown to possess marked antidepressant activity. the 1,4-oxazines were synthesized by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the readily available 6-aryloxymethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-1,4-oxazin-3-ones. high antidepressant activity was associated with ortho substitution of the 2-phenoxymethyl group and with 1,4-oxazines devoid of 4-substituents.20051151970
effects of indomethacin and prostaglandins on ovulation of goldfish.a technique is described whereby elevated temperature and hcg injection yield a high percentage of ovulation in gravid goldfish. indomethacin (10 mug/g; i.p. injection) completely inhibits ovulation if given within 6 hours following hcg (4 iu/g); the unovulated oocytes develop rapidly into corpora atretica. pge1, pge2, and pgf2alpha (5 mug/g; i.p. injection) induce ovulation in fish treated with indomethacin and hcg; pge2 was most effective when given 11 hours after hcg. the results suggest that ...20051153811
dietary fats and properties of endoplasmic reticulum: i. dietary lipid induced changes in composition of microsomal membranes in liver and gastroduodenal mucosa of rat.rats were fed for four weeks with different lipid diets to determine the effects on the endoplasmic reticulum membranes of the liver and on the postmitochondrial supernatant fraction of the gastroduodenal mucosa. the diets contained cholesterol, cacao butter, olive oil, and these in combination. the results showed that dietary lipids were able to modify the composition of the hepatic endoplasmic reticulum and, to a lesser extent, that of postmitochondrial fraction of gastroduodenal mucosa. cacao ...19751160521
