[characteristics of the action of the biologically active factor from virulent shigella flexneri strains in a study on mice and a cell culture].	the authors subjected to further study the biologically active factor revealed by them earlier in the virulent sh. flexneri cultures by using the genetically bound triad of sh. flexneri 5a-222 cultures and the corresponding couple of sh. flexneri 2a-516. there was shown correlation of the strains virulence determined by the keratoconjunctival test, with the presence of genetically-determined production of the biologically active factor detectable in the culture filtrate, which produced toxic act ...	1978	371290
[media with yeast rna for isolating shigella flexneri from feces].	the authors demonstrated a considerable, in comparison with the control, increase of the biomass of sh. flexneri causative agent, when growing in meat-peptone broth with 1-4 mg of narna, and of the number of colonies in the feces of the patients and of healthy persons artificially contaminated with sh. flexneri when inoculated in ploskirev's agar or endo medium with 4 mg/ml of narna. using media with narna for laboratory diagnosis of dysentery is recommended.	1978	371291

[role of epithelial basement membrane of the small intestine in providing immunologic homeostasis].	a morphometric method was used experimentally to prove the immune barrier function of the epithelial basal membrane of the small intestine mucous membrane. the epithelial basal membrane located on the border of the epithelium and connective tissue provides biochemical and immunological protection of the layer proper against penetrotion into it of antigens from the epithelium, being a barrier of immunological homeostasis. the damage of the epithelial membrane is accompanied by coming of the intes ...	1979	371587
structural studies on the hexose region of the enterobacteriaceae type r3 core polysaccharide.	the structure of the hexose region of the enterobacteriaceae type r3 core polysaccharide, which is the common core in shigella flexneri and some escherichia coli lipopolysaccharides (lps), has been investigated. the principal method used in these studies involved methylation analysis of the original and modified materials. the polysaccharide was modified by n-deacetylation-deamination and by smith degradation. as a result of these studies, the following structure is proposed: alpha-d-glcp-(1 lea ...	1979	371805

construction of plasmid cloning vehicles that promote gene expression from the bacteriophage lambda pl promoter.	two multiple-copy, cole1-type, plasmid cloning vehicles, phub2 and phub4, have been constructed that carry four different single restriction sites down-stream from the phage lambda promoter pl. the promoting activity of pl is switched off at low temperature in the presence of a cits gene that specifies a temperature-sensitive repressor but could be activated by heat induction. cits was located either on the host chromosome, or on a second plasmid prk248 that is compatible with the cloning vehicl ...	1979	372049
the effect of endotoxin-induced intraocular inflammation on the rat lens epithelium.	intraocular inflammation induced by an intravitreal injection of shigella endotoxin into the rat eye produces early changes in the number of dividing cells of the lens epithelium and affects the organization of the meridional rows. a depression in mitotic activity in the germinative zone is observed during the first 24 hr after injection. at 48 hr, despite the continued mitotic inhibition in the germinative zone, an increase in cell division occurs in the central zone. by 72 hr, the germinative ...	1979	372124
invasive strain of escherichia coli belonging to o group 29.	a strain of escherichia coli isolated from a child with diarrhea was biochemically similar and antigenically identical (o and k antigens) to the standard strain of e. coli o group 29 and was positive in the serény test for invasiveness, which suggests that it can cause a shigella-like illness.	1979	372230
