detection and differentiation of iron-responsive avirulent mutants on congo red agar.agar medium containing congo red dye differentiates virulent and avirulent colonies of shigella, vibrio cholerae, escherichia coli, and neisseria meningitidis. like virulent plague bacilli, wild-type cells of these species absorb the dye and produce red colonies. mutants or colonial variants have been isolated that fail to absorb the dye and produce colorless colonies. these mutants exhibit reduced virulence in the chicken embryo model, but their virulence is enhanced by supplementation with iro ...1977409688
tissue reactions to long-term electrical stimulation of the cerebellum in monkeys.light and electron microscopic analyses were carried out on the stimulated and unstimulated paravermal cortices of six rhesus monkeys that had electrodes implanted on their cerebella for 2 months. the electrodes and the stimulation regime (10 p.p.s.: 8 min on, 8 min off) were similar to those used to stimulate the human cerebellum for treatment of certain neurological disorders. mere presence of the electrode array in the posterior fossa for 2 months resulted in some meningeal thickening, attenu ...1977408468
[qualitative and quantitative investigations of the area striata in an ontogenic series of male tupaia belangeri].the cyto-, myelo- and fibrilloarchitectonics of the area striata and its laminae were described in 36 male tupaia belangeri at an age of 36 to 536 days of ontogenesis. the fresh volumes of the area striata and its laminae were determined and the growth of the fresh volumes described with the 6-parametric growth-function: (formula: see text) likewise, the matter lying directly under the area striata were determined and these data were analysed with the logistic growth-function: (formula: see text ...1999408411
[effect of orally administered pancreatic extract on vibrio cholerae infection during protein deficiency].two groups of 5 and 6 vervet monkeys respectively were fed a protein-free diet. both groups of protein depleted vervets developed a minor decrease of serum and intestinal immunoglobulins, as well as marked impairment of exocrine pancreatic function. thereafter the groups were challenged with vibrio cholerae, while one group received purified pancreatic extract by oral administration. the group without pancreatic extract developed severe and significantly longer lasting diarrhea than the group wi ...1977404703

naturally occurring human antibodies with specificity for light chains of immunoglobulins.human sera of different categories were screened for antibodies against iga. a surprisingly high incidence of antibodies was observed. all of these antibodies were of restricted specificity, i.e. able to react with one or a few individual igas from a panel of eight myeloma proteins used in the screening. in one serum of a patient with selective iga deficiency an antibody against the allotype a2m(1) was found. some of the antibodies were shown to belong to the igg class. the iga, igg and igm cont ...1977403678
the role of cellular locomotion in leukemic infiltration. an organ culture study on penetration of l 5222 rat leukemia cells into the chick embryo mesonephros.the significance of cellular locomotion for leukemic infiltration was investigated using l 5222 rat leukemia cells. previous cinemicrographic studies have shown that these cells are able to locomote only after formation of a uropod-like posterior extension. this characteristic locomotive configuration of l 5222 cells is easily recognizable in scanning electron micrographs and appropriate sections. leukemia cells were inoculated on slices of chick embryo mesonephros incubated for 24h; at this tim ...1977403674
