isoelectric points of polypeptides of standard poliovirus particles of different serological types and of empty capsids and dense particles of poliovirus type 1.the isoelectric points of polypeptides of standard and dense poliovirus particles and of empty capsids have been determined by isoelectric focusing in urea and by two-dimensional analysis. comparing virus strains belonging to the three serological types of poliovirus, differences in the pi of some, but not all of the structural polypeptides are found. the pi of polypeptides of dense particles and of empty capsids are identical with those of standard particles. polypeptide vpo present in empty ca ...1978204736
separation of human leukocyte interferon components by concanavalin a-agarose affinity chromatography and their characterization.human leukocyte interferon (hl-if), produced by mixed leukocytes infected with newcastle disease virus, was resolved into three distinct fractions when chromatographed on concanavalin a-agarose. the major portion (70--75%) of interferon appeared in the breakthrough (bt fraction). the bound interferon (25--30%) was displaced from the column as two peaks: the first was eluted with 0.01 m methyl alpha-d-mannoside, yielding 15-20% of the interferon activity (alpha-mm fraction), and the second by inc ...197992998
a new technique for differential and simultaneous staining of nerve cells and fibers.a new and simple method for the simultaneous staining of nerve cells and fibers is described. the use of formol-thionin under controlled conditions of concentration and ph provides a highly reliable method for the staining of nerve cells in blue and fiber tracts in red, making any posterior differentiation redundant. this technique provides constant and reproducible results allowing simultaneous staining of many sections.19852409409
molecular species of platelet-activating factor generated by human neutrophils challenged with ionophore a23187.two species of platelet-activating factor (paf), 1-hexadecyl- and 1-octadecyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (c16 = 0 agepc and c18 = 0 agepc) were detected in ionophore a23187-stimulated human neutrophils. the amount of agepc in 1 x 10(7) neutrophil cells was 80 +/- 26 pmol (mean +/- standard error) with a range of 14 to 223 pmol (n = 8), and it consisted of 80% of the c16 = 0 species and 20% of the c18 = 0 species. most of the agepc derived from ionophore-treated neutrophils remained cel ...19853917470
transfer of label from 3h-glucose in digitaria eriantha leaves to the rust fungus puccinia digitariae pole evans.digitaria eriantha pentzii was fed 3h-glucose prior to inoculation with uredospores of puccinia digitariae pole evans. twenty-one hours after inoculation, uptake of label from 3h-glucose by the primary infection structures of p. digitariae was demonstrated employing autoradiography. these results indicate that an exchange of nutrients between host and pathogen occurs very early on in the infection process, during the formation of the primary infection structures. despite contrary reports that ob ...19854020098
effect of fasting and refeeding on glucose metabolism in rat aorta.the effect of refeeding on accumulation of [14c]glucose carbon, oxidation of [14c]glucose and glycogen concentration in rat aortic intima-media was studied in rats fasted for 3 days. accumulation of glucose carbon and glucose oxidation were determined by incubating rat aorta in vitro for 2 h with 5.6 mm 14c-labelled glucose in the medium. refeeding with standard pellets for 2-4 h augmented [14c]glucose accumulation in rat aorta but had no significant effect on glucose oxidation. the glycogen con ...19863535381
platelet aggregation is not essential for xenograft rejection.five rabbit kidneys were perfused at 80 mm hg with heparinized human blood, five with platelet poor human blood, and five with human blood added prostacyclin. time until blood flow decreased to 2 ml/min was significantly delayed by removal of platelets or addition of prostacyclin. histological examination did not reveal any difference between the groups. it is concluded that platelets play an enhancing role, but they are not essential for xenograft rejection.19863523816
effects of chronic in utero hypoxemia on rat neonatal pulmonary arterial structure.idiopathic persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn infant (pphn) is characterized by intrauterine structural remodeling of the pulmonary arterial bed, consisting of precocious development of muscle in intraacinar arteries, proliferation of adventitial connective tissue, and sometimes medial hypertrophy of preacinar arteries. to evaluate whether gestational hypoxemia causes these changes, we studied pulmonary arterial structure in two groups of newborn rats: one control, the other expose ...19863701524
chronic prolactin, gonadal and thyroid hormone treatments in vivo alter levels of trh and muscarinic receptors in male and female rat tissues.chronic subcutaneous administration of prolactin into female rats during proestrus led to a 20% (p less than 0.05) decrease in retinal and a 32% (n = 20; p less than 0.01) decrease in pituitary trh receptors as compared to controls. in parallel experiments prolactin treatment during diestrus failed to influence trh receptor levels in both tissues compared to vehicle-treated rats. intraperitoneal injections of triiodothyronine for 8 weeks resulted in a selective 41% increase (p less than 0.02) in ...19882840173
superactive somatostatin analog decreases plasma glucose and glucagon levels in diabetic rats.the action of the new analog of somatostatin, d-phe-cys-tyr-d-trp-lys-val-cys-trp-nh2 (rc-160), on plasma glucagon and glucose levels was evaluated in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. the effect of this analog on the insulin-induced hypoglycemia in diabetic rats was also investigated in order to evaluate the risk of exacerbating hypoglycemia. administration of analog rc-160, in a dose of 25 micrograms/kg b. wt. sc, inhibited plasma glucagon secretion and decreased plasma glucose levels. this effect ...19882901737
characterization of a-i-containing lipoproteins in subjects with a-i milano variant.the a-i milano variant of apolipoprotein a-i (a-im), by virtue of its arg-173----cys substitution, is capable of forming a disulfide bond with the 77-amino-acid apolipoprotein a-ii polypeptide (a-iis) as well as with itself to produce dimers, a-im/a-iis and a-im/a-im, respectively. a-i-containing lipoproteins (lp): particles with a-ii (lp(a-i with a-11)) and particles without a-ii (lp(a-i without a-ii)) in the plasma of two nonhyperlipidemic a-im carriers were investigated to determine the effec ...19883129016
