characterization of simian cells tranformed by temperature-sensitive mutants of simian virus 40.	seven lines derived from primary african green monkey kidney cells, which had survived lytic infection by wild-type simian virus 40 (sv40) or temperature-sensitive mutants belonging to the a and b complementation groups, were established. these cultures synthesize sv40 tumor (t) antigen constitutively and have been passaged more than 60 times in vitro. the cells released small amounts of virus even at high passage levels but eventually became negative for the spontaneous release of virus. virus ...	1976	178917
hco3- and h+ secretion in rat ileum in vivo.	replacing cl- in the perfusion fluids decreased the luminal ph of rat ileum perfused in vivo. varying the initial ph in cl- depletion studies indicated an equilibrium ph near 6.6. na+ depletion in cl- deleted fluids partially inhibited luminal acidification. addition of hco3- accelerated na+ absorption and decreased cl- absorption. luminal pco2 was increased using fluids buffered to initial ph 6.6, suggesting secretion of hco3- rather than oh-. the decreased hco3- secretion using cl- depleted fl ...	1977	18015
age-dependent relaxation of gene repression: increase of endogenous murine leukemia virus-related and globin-related rna in brain and liver of mice.	a progressive loss in the ability of cells to maintain their normal specialized states of differentiation could be the common denominator underlying much of the physiology and pathology associated with the mammalian aging process. we investigated this possibility by searching for an age-dependent derepression of endogenous genes in tissues in which they are not normally expected to be expressed. complementary dna (cdna) probes to globin genes and to the murine leukemia type c rna virus (mulv) ge ...	1978	212751

bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (balt) in the laboratory-bred and wild rat, rattus norvegicus.	in juvenile wild rats, bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (balt) development was similar to that seen in adult specified-pathogen-free rats. in adult wild rats the balt was widespread. in one animal infected with a mycoplasma-like organism, a region of bronchoepithelium overlying a large balt nodule was seen, through which lymphocytes appeared able to pass to make direct contact with the bronchial lumen: the significance of this observation is discussed. there was no evidence of infection in lu ...	1979	162238
paired helical filaments from alzheimer disease patients contain cytoskeletal components.	neurofibrillary tangles from alzheimer disease patients share antigenic determinants with neurofilaments and microtubule-associated proteins, as shown by light microscopy immunocytology. the present study addresses the issue of whether these determinants are located on the paired helical filaments or on other components of the neurofibrillary tangle. sections from postmortem brains from alzheimer disease patients were stained by using bodian's silver method or immunostained by using poly- and mo ...	1985	3889918
regional sensitivity of neuroleptic receptors to sub-acute soman intoxication.	sub-acute exposure to anti-cholinesterase organophosphorous compounds induces, in humans, cognitive and emotional deficits which include depression, anxiety, emotional lability, and schizophrenic-like symptoms. neuroleptic drugs used to treat similar clinical conditions bind to serotonergic (s2) and dopaminergic (d2) receptors, suggesting that these sites are involved in the psychiatric consequences of organophosphate exposure. rats were given saline or soman (50 micrograms/kg, sc) on a sub-acut ...	1985	3995358
involuntary movements caused by phenytoin intoxication in epileptic patients.	the case histories of four patients who developed choreoathetoid movements during intoxication with phenytoin are presented. drug intoxication was confirmed in each case by measuring the serum phenytoin concentration. drug interactions were, in part, responsible for the occurrence of intoxication in three of them. phenytoin intoxication is not always easy to recognize, particularly when nystagmus is minimal or absent, as in these four patients. the estimation of the serum phenytoin concentration ...	1986	239101
the different effects of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor on rat fibrosarcoma sublines.	the antitumor effect of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rh-tnf) on two clones of rat fibrosarcoma with different metastatic potential to lymph nodes was examined. the colony formation of clone a, which has high metastatic potential, was completely inhibited by continuous exposure to rh-tnf at 50 u/ml. in contrast, colony formation of clone g, which has low metastatic potential, was not inhibited by high concentrations of rh-tnf (10,000 u/ml). the inhibitory effect of rh-tnf on colony fo ...	1987	3594481
unusual pharyngeal lesion causing dysphagia.	a 58-year-old man was evaluated for a 42-year complaint of a pharyngeal foreign body sensation whenever he ate. examination revealed normal anatomy at rest but diffuse hypopharyngeal distension with valsalva's maneuver. his past history was remarkable for an infectious illness, possibly diphtheria. we speculate that this unusual case most likely represents a postdiphtheritic selective pharyngeal paralysis and present his case, radiographic findings, and a discussion of the differential diagnosis ...	1987	3674649
malpais spring virus: a new vesiculovirus from mosquitoes collected in new mexico and evidence of infected indigenous and exotic ungulates.	two virus isolates, 1 each from aedes campestris and psorophora signipennis mosquitoes collected in south central new mexico in august 1985, were shown by neutralization tests to be identical to each other, but not to any of more than 250 arthropod-borne and other viruses. electron microscopy of 1 isolate (85-488nm, chosen as the prototype) indicated that this strain shares morphologic characteristics with viruses of the family rhabdoviridae. indirect fluorescent antibody tests indicated that th ...	1988	3061310
