| gluco-oligosaccharide production by a strain of erwinia amylovora. | when grown in sorbitol-asparagine-salts medium, cells of erwinia amylovora isolate t83 released a mixture of oligosaccharides and lipopolysaccharide in place of extracellular polysaccharide. the oligosaccharide fraction was usually readily separable from lipopolysaccharide by gel permeation chromatography, but some samples required disaggregation by preliminary treatment with edta. by 1h- and 13c-nmr spectroscopy, methylation analysis and mass spectrometry, the oligosaccharide fraction was shown ... | 1995 | 7476566 |
| genetics of galactose metabolism of erwinia amylovora and its influence on polysaccharide synthesis and virulence of the fire blight pathogen. | galactose metabolism mutants of erwinia amylovora were created by transposon insertions and characterized for their growth properties and interaction with plant tissue. the nucleotide sequence of the gale gene was determined. the gene, which encodes udp-galactose 4-epimerase, shows homology to the gale genes of escherichia coli, neisseria gonorrhoeae, rhizobium meliloti, and other gram-negative bacteria. cloned dna with the gale and with the galt and galk genes did not share borders, as judged b ... | 1994 | 7507102 |
| analysis of the high molecular weight rhoptry complex of plasmodium falciparum using monoclonal antibodies. | twenty-one monoclonal antibodies, obtained after immunization of mice with erythrocytic stages of plasmodium falciparum, produced a double dot image in ifa. immunoelectronmicroscopy indicated that the mabs reacted with the rhoptries. rhoptries are pear-shaped apical organelles, believed to be involved in invasion of the host cell by the parasite. the mabs all immunoprecipitated the high molecular weight antigen complex. some mabs recognized on immunoblots only 1 protein of this complex, whereas ... | 1994 | 7517517 |
| synaptic connections of central carotid sinus afferents in the nucleus of the tractus solitarius of the rat. ii. connections with substance p-immunoreactive neurons. | a combined transganglionic transport and immunocytochemical technique was used to study the synaptic morphology of central carotid sinus afferents and substance p-immunoreactive neurons in the commissural subnucleus of the nucleus of the tractus solitarius in rats. a large population of substance p-immunoreactive neurons (88.32%) were seen in close association with central carotid sinus afferents by light microscopy. however, many labelled central carotid sinus afferents appeared not associated ... | 1994 | 7522269 |
| investigation of sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever virus infection in ruminants by pcr and competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | development of control measures for the gammaherpesviral disease of cattle known as sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever (sa-mcf) has been hampered by a lack of accurate diagnostic tests either for the causative virus or for antibody against that virus. a recently developed competitive-inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ci-elisa) for the detection of antibody to malignant catarrhal fever (mcf) virus (mcfv) in ruminants based on a monoclonal antibody to a widely conserved epitope ... | 1995 | 7559946 |
| pear blister canker viroid: sequence variability and causal role in pear blister canker disease. | the sequences of several cdna clones of pear blister canker viroid (pbcvd) p1914t and p47a isolates have been determined. seven out of eight p1914t clones analysed have a constant sequence which differs at six positions from that of the p2098t isolate reported previously. the remaining p1914t clone (8) has a single nucleotide substitution. the same six changes have been also observed in most of the ten p47a clones sequenced. however, some p47a clones show additional variability in positions on b ... | 1995 | 7595369 |
| genetic analysis of nonpathogenic agrobacterium tumefaciens mutants arising in crown gall tumors. | little is known about the effect of the host on the genetic stability of bacterial plant pathogens. crown gall, a plant disease caused by agrobacterium tumefaciens, may represent a useful model to study this effect. indeed, our previous observations on the natural occurrence and origin of nonpathogenic agrobacteria suggest that the host plant might induce loss of pathogenicity in populations of a. tumefaciens. here we report that five different a. tumefaciens strains initially isolated from appl ... | 1995 | 7601840 |
| nucleotide-dependent angular change in kinesin motor domain bound to tubulin. | kinesin is a 'motor' molecule, consisting of two head domains, an alpha-helical coiled coil rod, and a tail part that binds to its cargo. when expressed in a bacterial system, the head domain is functional, and can bind to microtubules with the stoichiometry of one head per tubulin dimer. kinesin moves along microtubules by means of a cyclic process of nucleotide binding, hydrolysis and product release. we have used negative-stain electron microscopy and image analysis to study the structures of ... | 1995 | 7617042 |

| massive osteolysis of the pelvis, femur and sacral bone with a gorham-stout syndrome. | we report a case of a 49-year-old white woman with gorham-stout syndrome. this very rare massive osteolysis occurred in the left pelvis and included the femur and the sacral bone. histology study revealed typical ectatic vessels covered with endothelium. the therapy of choice in this region is radiotherapy with a dose of 40 gy. however, in our case this therapy only led to short-term pain relief and cessation of the osteolysis. stabilization with corticospongious bone did not seem to be effectiv ... | 1995 | 7662475 |
| molecular cloning of cdnas encoding the protein backbones of arabinogalactan-proteins from the filtrate of suspension-cultured cells of pyrus communis and nicotiana alata. | this paper reports the isolation of cdnas encoding the protein backbone of two arabinogalactan-proteins (agps), one from pear cell suspension cultures (agppc2) and the other from suspension cultures of nicotiana alata (agpna2). the proteins encoded by these cdnas are quite different from the 'classical' agp backbones described previously for agps isolated from pear suspension cultures and extracts of n. alata styles. the cdna for agppc2 encodes a 294 amino acid protein, of which a relatively sho ... | 1995 | 7670506 |
| concurrent validity of the cognitive component of schizophrenia: relationship of panss scores to neuropsychological assessments. | cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia may represent a separate component of the disorder that is distinct from positive or negative syndromes. in a previous study, we reported a factor analysis of the positive and negative syndrome scale (panss) that revealed five components, one of which we labeled the cognitive component. in the present study, we explored the validity of the panss cognitive component by examining correlations between neuropsychological measures and the five factor-analytically d ... | 1994 | 7701028 |
| [gorham-stout massive ostelysis. a case report]. | one case of massive osteolysis gorham-stout is presented. idiopathic osteolysis is a rare disease. the coincidental radiological diagnosis following minor trauma or a few months' history of mild pain involving joints is characteristic. the disease process has a sudden onset. bones undergo partial or complete resorption, which may spread across joints to contiguous bones. the osteolytic process eventually ceases spontaneously, but generally not before severe deformation and destruction of bone ha ... | 1995 | 7709224 |
| cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. prediction of symptom change for participators in work rehabilitation. | while recent studies have found that most patients with schizophrenia who participate in work rehabilitation experience symptom improvement, there appears to be a subgroup of patients whose symptoms remain stable or even worsen. the present study explores the hypothesis that cognitive impairment is one factor which reduces the clinical effectiveness of rehabilitation and accounts for a lack of improvement in some patients. to explore this question, performance on two neuropsychological tests was ... | 1995 | 7745389 |
| identification of allergens in fruits and vegetables: ige cross-reactivities with the important birch pollen allergens bet v 1 and bet v 2 (birch profilin). | in this study serum samples collected from 20 patients with birch pollen allergy were investigated. all patients had experienced allergic symptoms after contact with or ingestion of particular fresh fruits and vegetables known as birch pollen-related foods. | 1995 | 7751517 |
| production of patulin by different strains of penicillium expansum in pear and apple cultivars stored at different temperatures and modified atmospheres. | it was shown that the ability of three different strains of penicillium expansum (nrrl 2034, nrrl 6069, and cbs 481.84) to grow and to produce patulin in pears (cv. spadona) and apples (cv. starking) varied under the different temperatures tested (0, 3, 6, 17 and 25 degrees c). strain nrrl 2034 did not produce patulin at 0 or 25 degrees c while the two other strains produced the toxin at all temperatures, the maximum production occurring at 25 degrees c (for pears) and 17 degrees c (for apples). ... | 1995 | 7758631 |
| human eosinophil peroxidase enhances tumor necrosis factor and hydrogen peroxide release by human monocyte-derived macrophages. | inhibition of growth or eradication of experimentally induced tumors has been shown to be accompanied by infiltration of eosinophils and macrophages into the tumor mass. since macrophages are important mediators of host antitumor activity, the possibility arises that a collaboration may exist between these two cell types in the control of tumor growth. in this study, we report the effect of eosinophil peroxidase (epo), a basic protein contained in eosinophils that binds to several cell types inc ... | 1995 | 7774640 |
| the indian laburnum (cassia fistula l.) fruit: an analysis of its chemical constituents. | the edible fruit tissue of indian laburnum fruit (cassia fistula l.), a member of the leguminosae family, was analyzed for certain organic compounds and mineral nutrients. of the nine macro- and micronutrients studied, k was the most highly concentrated such that 100% of the us recommended dietary allowances (rda) for adults could be met by the consumption of about 100 g of the fresh fruit. na contents in pulp and seeds are relatively low. ca content at 827 mg per 100 g of dry matter is one of t ... | 1995 | 7784398 |
