serotyping of chlamydia. i. isolates of ovine origin.eight chlamydial isolates of ovine origin were tested in a plaque reduction system using homologous and heterologous rooster antisera. the eight isolates could be separated into two separate immunotypes. type 1 included isolates associated with ovine abortion and one agent recovered from the feces of an apparently normal sheep. type 2 isolates were associated with polyarthritis and conjunctivitis. these two serotypes were not cross-reactive with several chlamydiae of avian origin. further applic ...19744855560
purification on renografin density gradients of chlamydia trachomatis grown in the yolk sac of eggs.chlamydia trachomatis grown in the yolk sac of embryonated eggs was purified by centrifugation on continuous isopycnic renografin density gradients. a band of chlamydial particles with a buoyant density of 1.20 contained 70% of the starting particles, and electron microscopy revealed the virtual absence of contaminating egg material. centrifugation on renografin gradients caused only a moderate decrease in infectivity. for large-scale purification, infected yolk sac was centrifuged through renog ...19744855645
cycloheximide-resistant glycosylation in l cells infected with chlamydia psittaci.l cells (mouse fibroblasts), uninfected and infected with the meningopneumonitis strain of chlamydia psittaci, were labeled with [(14)c]glucosamine, and their membranous organelles were separated by isopycnic equilibrium centrifugation of whole cell homogenates on discontinuous sucrose gradients. glycosylation of host membranes continued throughout the infection. cycloheximide almost completely inhibited glycosylation in uninfected l cells, but it only partially inhibited the process in infected ...19744856239
hemagglutinin in cell walls of chlamydia psittaci.intact purified elementary bodies (eb) of chlamydia psittaci agglutinate chicken erythrocytes in low titer, whereas homogenates of eb and of eb cell walls agglutinate at much higher titers depending on the extent of disruption by shaking and sonication. the hemagglutinin is contained in the cell envelope and can be purified with cell wall fractions. treatment of cell wall with sodium dodecyl sulfate completely inactivated the hemagglutinin. purified hemagglutinin was found to have an identical p ...19744856587

in vitro effect of leukocytic and thymic histones and their fractions on the activity of the causative agent of meningopneumonia.it was found in studying the antimeningococcus activity of the leukocytic and thymus histones and their fractions that both histones were capable of neutralizing in vitro the activity of the causative agent of meningopneumonia (mp). the neutralization effect was chiefly associated with the f3 fraction rich in arginine and depended on the duration of the histone fraction contact with the mp causative agent, the weight concentration of the histone and the ph of the incubation medium.19751947
cytology as a guide to the presence of chlamydial inclusions in giemsa-stained conjunctival smears in severe endemic trachoma.microscopical examination of 927 giemsa-stained conjunctival smears from children with chronic trachoma in southern tunisia showed 93 (10 per cent.) with typical trachoma (chlamydial) inclusions in epithelial cells. the accompanying cytological features were a useful indicator for inclusions. inclusions were found only in slides with numerous polymorphonuclear neutrophils (pmns) and separation of the epithelial cells. when these two features alone were present, 3 per cent. of the smears were inc ...197548384

importance of the so-called 'other' sexually-transmitted diseases.(1) some data are presented concerning the frequency and potential morbidity of sexually-transmitted organisms other than t. pallidum or n. gonorrhoeae. (2) most of the diseases with which these organisms are associated are more prevalent than syphilis and some, at least in one sex, are as common as gonorrhoea. a number appear to carry considerable morbidity, which in the case of type ii herpes virus--if it is responsible for cervical cancer--may ultimately cause more fatalities than syphilis. ( ...1975168937
[morphological manifestations of the intracellular toxic effect of microorganisms of the ornithosis-lymphogranuloma-trachoma group].interactions of the causative agents of meningopneumonia and ovine abortion with pulmonary macrophages in experimental infection in white mice were studied by histological, immunofluorescent and electron microscopic methods. the causative agent of meningopneumonia did not multiply in colonies and caused toxic lesions in the cells and formed cytoplasmic oxiphilic inclusion bodies. being the product of cell degeneration, these oxiphilic inclusion bodies were conducive to long-term survival of the ...1975169631
