repair of potentially mutagenic damage, sensitive to anisotonic treatment, in actively growing chinese hamster cells.using exponentially growing chinese hamster v79 cells we studied the effect of anisotonic phosphate-buffered saline (pbs) treatment on the frequency of mutation following x-irradiation. induction of mutants was studied at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase locus (hgprt). when cells were x-irradiated and immediately followed by 0.5 m nacl/pbs treatment for 20 min at 37 degrees c, cell survival was significantly decreased and a concomitant increase in the number of mutants was obs ...20102900279
binding of mouse red blood cells (mrbc) by human thymocytes: augmentation of rosette formation by phospholipase c treatment.the formation of rosettes with mrbc is not an exclusive property of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells and of human b-lymphocytes. human thymus cells and the hd-mar t-cell line were also found to be capable of forming rosettes with mrbc. the binding of mrbc by thymocytes differed from that of sheep (srbc), rabbit (rrbc) and human (hrbc) erythrocytes by a number of parameters: monoclonal antibodies against the e-receptor inhibited the attachment of srbc, rrbc, and hrbc, but not of mrbc to thymus ...19882900227
detergent-accelerated hydrolysis of bacterial endotoxins and determination of the anomeric configuration of the glycosyl phosphate present in the "isolated lipid a" fragment of the bordetella pertussis endotoxin.due to the formation of micelles, severance of the hydrophilic (poly- or oligosaccharide) and hydrophobic ("lipid a") domains of bacterial lipopolysaccharides at ph 3.4 or 4.5 and 100 degrees is slow and sometimes does not proceed at all; partially degraded fragments are usually formed. at ph 3.4 (100 degrees) in aqueous 1% sodium dodecylsulphate (sds), both lipopolysaccharides of the bordetella pertussis endotoxin are cleaved within 20-30 min, but 80% of the glycosidically bound phosphate prese ...19882900066
safe, live vibrio cholerae vaccines?mutants of vibrio cholerae defective in intestinal colonization have been constructed. characterization of these mutants has led to the identification of a gene cluster involved in the assembly of a pilus colonization factor called tcp. the tcp operon has been cloned and strains of v. cholerae have been constructed that overproduce this pilus and the b subunit of cholera toxin. together these studies may contribute to the eventual construction of efficient live and killed, oral cholera vaccines.19882898843
impact of b subunit killed whole-cell and killed whole-cell-only oral vaccines against cholera upon treated diarrhoeal illness and mortality in an area endemic for cholera.the impact of b subunit killed whole-cell (bs-wc) and killed whole-cell-only (wc) oral cholera vaccines was assessed in a randomised double-blind trial in rural bangladesh. 62,285 children aged 2-15 years and women aged over 15 ingested three doses of one of the vaccines or placebo. during the first year of follow-up there was a 26% reduction of all visits for treatment of diarrhoea in the bs-wc group and a 22% reduction in the wc group. the reduction of all admissions for fatal or severely dehy ...19882898052
effects of psychotropic medications on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal regulation.the psychotropic medications reviewed in this paper have widespread clinical applicability in psychiatry and other branches of medicine. these drugs clearly can alter peripheral regulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis hormones. in general, psychotropic medications when administered acutely have a tendency to increase the output of both adrenal and pituitary hormones associated with the axis; the benzodiazepines appear to be the exception and indeed may decrease axis activity. psychotro ...20102897911
