modifying the immunogenicity of cell membrane antigens. tumors and transplants.the immunogenicity of an antigenic cell is a distinctly different property from its antigenic composition. two clinical problems might well be beneficially affected by modifying the immunogenicity of cell membrane antigens: can the immunogenicity of tumor-specific antigens on malignant cells be increased so that effective immunity to the tumor will lead to its destruction? conversely, can the immunogenicity of histocompatibility antigens on grafted organs be minimized so that they will survive a ...19751130323
antitumor immune response following injection of neuraminidase-treated sarcoma cells.mice inoculated with mca-10 sarcoma cells which had previously been incubated with vibrio cholerae neuraminidase (vcn) demonstrated a significantly lower tumor incidence (9/26) than mice injected with untreated sarcoma cells (10/10) or sarcoma cells incubated with heat-inactivated neuraminidase (28/29) p less than .05. rechallenge of nontumor-bearing mice from the vcn group with untreated sarcoma cells resulted in a low tumor incidence (4/11), indicating that these mice had developed systemic im ...19751130852
rat pancreas adenylate cyclase. iii. its role in pancreatic secretion assessed by means of choleara toxin.1. the role of adenylate cyclase in rat pancreas is further investigated by means of cholera toxin, which is known to activate the enzyme in several tissues. 2. cholera toxin activates rat pancreatic adenylate cyclase in vitro upon preincubation of tissue slices with the toxin for more than 30 min, but not when it is merely present during the enzyme assay. the maximal effect is reached after 90 min pre-incubation. the half-maximally activating concentration is 3.5 mu-g/ml upon pre-incubation for ...19751131364

interaction of furazolidone with dna.dn forms a complex with furazolidone producing thereby a quenching and a bathochromic shift of the drug absorption pattern. the binding isotherm was a non-linear one indicating involvement of more than one binding process in the formation of the furazolidone - dna complex. the furazolidone - dna complex inhibited digestion of dna by dnaase and stabilized dna against thermal strand separation by a significant degree.19751174533
metabolic actions of vasopressin, glucagon and adrenalin in the intact rat.metabolic effects of vasopressin, glucagan and adrenalin were compared, in intact rats, especially in regard to time courses of effects. hyperglycaemia was transient in response to vasopressin, prolonged following adrenalin, and, suprisingly, was not discernible after glucagon, except in response to a very large dose. vasopressin decreased and adrenalin increased, the plasma free fatty acid concentration; both hormones decreased the triacylglycerol level. muscle glycogen concentrations, measured ...19751182200
cholera toxin effects on cell growth accompanied by selective alterations in metabolite uptake and modification of cell surface proteins.exposure of chinese hamster ovary cells to cholera toxin at or below mug levels causes a marked morphological changes and increased adhesion and orientation of the cells. such changes are paralleled by alterations in surface proteins as indicated by the cholera toxin-mediated modifications detectable by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed radioiodination of outer proteins. mild tryptic treatment of cells prelabeled with [3h]glucosamine revealed a different kinetics of release of external glycoproteins in ...19751182696
the organized distribution of acrosomal proteinase within the acrosomes of rabbit spermatozoa.acrosomal proteinase was found to be present in a highly organized distribution in the acrosomes of rabbit spermatozoa, using cytochemistry. this distribution consists of at least six linear loops of evenly spaced proteinase granules, which run diagonally across the flat side of the sperm head in a criss-crossing pattern. two additional loops may be present, one encircling the tip of the spermatozoon in the region of the acrosome reaction, and the other at the posterior end of the acrosome. the ...19751183631
viability of vibrio cholerae biotype el tor and of cholera phage on vegetables.different vegetables were contaminated with sewage water containing large amounts of el tor vibrios, and the viability of these vibrios was studied under defined conditions of storage. during the dry season (summer) in jerusalem, the el tor vibrios survived for up to 24 hr on parsley, 24 to 30 hr on tomatoes and carrots, 24 to 48 hr on cucumbers, peppers and okra and two to three days on lettuce, when the vegetables were stored at room temperature. the survival time was longer during the rainy s ...19751184361
metabolism of [5-t]fructose by isolated liver cells.glucose formed from [5-t]fructose in rat hepatocytes contains about 10 to 30% tritium. this does not appear to be due to fructose metabolism via hexokinase since neither the initial presence of glucose, nor wide variations in the original fructose concentration, have much effect on the relative labeling of glucose versus water from [5-t]fructose. comparison of the t:14c ratios in glucose produced from [u-14c, 5-t]fructose and d-[u-14c, 2-t]glyceraldehyde indicate that there is tritium retention ...19751184583
effects of cholera toxin on adenylate cyclase. studies with guanylylimidodiphosphate.similarities exist between the properties of adenylate cyclase after stimulation by cholera toxin and after stimulation by guanylylimidodiphosphate (gpp-(nh)p). thus a strong stimulation is achieved by both agents, the stimulation is essentially irreversible, the action of certain hormones is enhanced and the enzyme can be solublized with lubrol px in the activated state. because of these similarities the interaction of cholera toxin and gpp(nh)p on adenylate cyclase was examined. it was found t ...19751184756

dermo--epidermal adhesion and its effect on epidermal structure in the mouse.evidence is presented that dermo--epidermal adhesion is low in mouse ear. consequently the pressure caused by mitotic activity in the basal epidermal layer is readily relieved by cell extrusion distally and the number of basal cells per unit skin area remains low. the rule then is that the number of distal cells per unit skin area must be equally low, and the epidermis is therefore thin. conversely, dermo--epidermal adhesion is high in mouse sole-of-foot epidermis, and the mitotic pressure leads ...19751201191
an improved method of assessing topical corticosteroid activity.topical application of ointment bases causes varying degrees of epidermal thickening in guinea-pigs. this is reproducible and can be accurately measured. suppression of these changes was produced by addition of beta-methasone 17-valerate, fluocinolone acetonide, fluocinonide and hydrocortisone acetate. the inhibitory effect of these steroids was related to the type of corticosteriod, its concentration and the ointment base. the effect was still evident at extremely high dilutions of the steroids ...19751201192
pure red cell aplasia: studies on an igg serum inhibitor neutralizing erythropoietin.a new type of igg serum inhibitor in adult pure red cell aplasia (prca) has been investigated. this inhibitor is directed against circulating erythropoietin (ep) (prca type b), rather than the erythroid marrow (prca type a). thus, the igg inhibitor, after interaction with ep in solution, is precipitated together with ep by addition of goat anti-human gamma-globulins. pre-therapy prca serum, although apparently devoid of ep, shows considerable ep activity following acidification and boiling. the ...19751201224
binding of vitamin b12--rat transcobalamin ii and free vitamin b12 to plasma membranes isolated from rat liver.when dialysed rat serum which contains a single, low molecular weight binder for vitamin b12, rat transcobalamin ii (rat tc-ii), was labelled in vitro with 57co-vitamin b12 and then incubated at 30 degrees c (ph 7-5) with vesicles of highly purified plasma membranes separated from microsomal fractions of rat liver by density gradient centrifugation, the 57co-vitamin b12-rat tc-ii complex bound to high affinity sites on the vesicles via a specific (binding after correction for 'non-specific' bind ...19751201244
ultrastructural studies of the bone marrow in sickle cell anaemia. ii. the morphology of erythropoietic cells and their response to deoxygenation in vitro.electron microscopic studies of bone marrow aspirates obtained from patients with homozygous sickle cell anaemia (hbss) were fixed immediately without attempts to deoxygenate the samples. erythroblasts and normoblasts in these preparations were devoid of haemoglobin polymers or other indications of sickling. furthermore, the nucleated erythroid cells from sickle-cell patients presented an ultrastructural morphology indistinguishable from that of identically-processed erythroid cells in marrow sa ...19751201249
comparative study of the smooth muscle contractor activity of airborne dusts and of dustiness in cotton, flax, and jute mills.a bioassay technique using isolated guinea-pig ileum was employed to compare the smooth muscle contractor activity of various dusts from mills in which the prevalence of byssinosis was known. the activity of dust from a mill spinning a coarse grade of cotton was several times greater than that in dust from a mill processing a fine grade of cotton. there was a similar order in the difference of the prevalence of byssinosis in these mills. however, the activities of fine cotton, flax, and jute dus ...19751201255
immunoglobulin synthesis and antibody content in the small intestine of the rabbit.the concentration of immunoglobulin and specific antibody in the serum and the intestinal fluid and the rate of synthesis of immunoglobulin in the small intestine was measured in normal and immunized rabbits. iga was found to be the predominant immunoglobulin in the intestinal fluid. iga and igg were secreted at rates of 4-3 mug/cm/hr and 1-3 mug/cm/hr respectively. specific anti-vibrio cholerae antibodies in the intestine were found mainly in the iga class after oral immunization.19751204251

abortifacient effects of vibrio cholerae exo-enterotoxin and endotoxin in mice.to study antifertility properties of microbial toxins, exoenterotoxin and endotoxin from vibrio cholerae were injected intravenously into mice at different times during pregnancy. the two substances induced termination of pregnancy, but the patterns of abortifacient activity were different. exotoxin terminated pregnancy in mice when administered between days 4 and 10 of gestation, but abortifacient activity was reduced in animals more than 10 days pregnant; exogenous progesterone did not protect ...19751206628
[utilization of serological methods in the retrospective diagnosis of cholera and in detecting vibrion carriers].sensitivity and specificity of the three serological methods were studied comparatively: the vibriocidal test, the reaction of bacterial agglutination and of indirect hemagglutination, with the use of erythrocytes sensitized with the vibrio lyzate, cholera species o-antigen and cholerogen. investigations were conducted with the blood sera of cholera patients, vibrio carriers and contacts. vibriocidal test proved to be the most sensitive; its data correlated with the results of bacterial agglutin ...19751210898
[role of neuraminidase from cholera vibrions in the pathogenesis of experimental cholera].a study was made of a possible effect of neuraminidase of cholera vibrios on cholera pathogenesis. it was shown that in intraintestinal injection of cholera vibrios of the el tor biotype to nursling rabbits neuraminidase could be revealed in their intestine 5 to 8 hours after the infection. addition of neuraminidase to the weakly cholerogenic strain cholera vibrios intensified its cholerogenic action in infection of the animals. the antineuraminidase serum administered to the infected rabbits pr ...19751210912

selective chemical changes of gonadotropic hormones by means of neuraminidase from vibrio cholerae.experiments indicate that neuraminidase from vibrio cholerae selectively cleaves sialic acid derivate from fsh, but leaves the lh sialic acid derivative. by performing a specific test for lh - the oaad test - we found that the lh activity is not influenced by the presence of neuraminidase. the fsh activity is destroyed by neuraminidase but the enzyme itself influences the ovarian weight, resulting in a weight decrease observed 48 hours after injection. before or after this "critical time" no dec ...19751212991

[electron microscopy of cholera vibrios from the intestinal contents of infected suckling rabbits].electron microscopic study of the cells of classic, el tor and nag-vibrios showed them to be no different by the structure type from the cells of ofter gram-negative bacteria. a characteristic peculiarity of the cholera vibrios revealed after their passage through the intestine of nursling rabbits was the presence of microcapsules and protrusions of the areas of the wall membranous apparatus.19751217357
