| the effects of passive antibodies to egg albumin on active immunity in lambs to brucella abortus and egg albumin. | the long-term effects of colostrum on active immunity to two unrelated antigens are described. lambs were fed with pooled colostrum--to equalise passive immunity--with or without added antibodies to egg albumin (ea). there were significant breed differences in the response both to brucella abortus measured at one month of age, and to ea, measured at three months of age, although there was no significant correlation between the responses to the two antigens, either within or between breeds. surpr ... | 1978 | 100838 |
| protein a reactivity of various mammalian immunoglobulins. | serum samples and immunoglobulin fractions of eight mammalian species were applied to a sepharose--protein a column. as with the human immunoglobulin subclasses igg1, igg2 and igg4, all examined igg classes and subclasses were bound to a greater or lesser extent to protein a. however, the binding of igg1 of ruminants was very poor. polyclonal igm and iga of the pig, the dog and the cat may be separated in protein a reactive and protein a non-reactive fractions. in addition, monoclonal canine igm ... | 1978 | 100867 |
| [diagnostic value of agglutination reaction with buffered brucella antigen stained with rose bengal]. | a specific buffered antigen has been obtained, employing a method developed by the authors, stained with bengal rose and intended for performing a fast agglutination reaction to confirm brucellosis. the antigen produces a clear and demonstrative agglutination reaction with positive sera. practically, the test is readily carried out, and can be made a routine both in every serologic laboratory and for investigations under field conditions. the reaction produced with this antigen can determine dep ... | 1978 | 100935 |
| immunochemical characterization of casein from rabbit mammary gland. | 1. excellent precipitating antibodies to rabbit recombined casein polypeptides were obtained in a sheep after 8 weeks of immunization with rabbit recombined polypeptides coupled to sepharose-albumin. 2. the antiserum was assessed for specificity by several immunochemical techniques and was monospecific when tested against acid-precipitated casein, recombined casein and extracts of lactating rabbit mammary tissue. 3. a specific anti-casein immunoglobulin fraction was prepared by immunoadsorption ... | 1978 | 101209 |

| a sensitive radioimmunoassay for 6-keto-prostaglandin f1alpha: preliminary observations on circulating concentrations. | a radioimmunoassay for 6-keto-prostaglandin f1alpha (6-keto-pgf1alpha) is reported. the mean least detectable mass of 6-keto-pgf1alpha is 1.45 pg and the mean mass of added 6-keto-pgf1alpha required to displace zero-point binding by 50% is 94.2 pg. cross-reactivities of the antiserum with all the prostaglandins and related compounds tested are less than 0.1% except for pge2 and pgf2alpha which are respectively 0.16% and 0.80%. the assay is both accurate and reproducible and measured levels are i ... | 1978 | 102000 |
| oxygen requirement for prostaglandin biosynthesis. | the formation of prostaglandins by vesicular gland cyclooxygenase can be regulated by o2 concentrations below 30 micron (20 mm hg) with an apparent km value of about 5 micron. this result suggests that most mammalian tissues might be expected normally to have sufficient o2 for some synthesis, and that only occasionally, would the level of oxygen available within some tissues become marginally inadequate to sustain a high rate of prostaglandin biosynthesis. | 1978 | 102002 |
| immunochemical studies on the specific agglutinogens of staphylococcus aureus. i. isolation and characterization of antigen h1. | the specific staphylococcus aureus agglutinogen h1 has been purified and shown to be a protein with a molecular weight of about 95,000. chemical analysis revealed all the common amino acids, except tyrosine and the sulphur-containing ones. the purified h1 antigen was strongly immunogenic in rabbits. the antiserum produced one precipitation line on double diffusion in agar against a suspension of bacteria. it also agglutinated bacteria of the h1-containing strains, as well as tanned sheep erythro ... | 1978 | 102107 |
| heterophile antibody to red cells in human trypanosomiasis. | the heterophile red cell antibodies formed in human trypanosomiasis have been investigated. it has been shown that infection with trypanosoma rhodesiense induces agglutinins reactive with sheep and rabbit red cells, whilst trypanosoma gambiense induces agglutinins which react only with rabbit red cells. both types of antibody can be distinguished from similar antibodies produced by infectious mononucleosis and forssman antigen, and the detection and characterization of the antibodies therefore p ... | 1978 | 102137 |
| microhemagglutination test for detection of antibodies to nuclear sm and ribonucleoprotein antigens in systemic lupus erythematosus and related diseases. | a reproducible hemagglutination procedure to detect antibodies to sm and ribonucleoprotein nuclear antigens is described. the application and interpretation is discussed. the hemagglutination test was found to be more sensitive than the immunodiffusion test; however, the hemagglutination test may not detect the presence of low titers of anti-ribonucleoprotein in the presence of a high level of anti-sm antibody. anti-ribonucleoprotein antibodies in the presence of high titers of anti-sm antibodie ... | 1978 | 102182 |
| immunologically diagnosed malignancy in sjögren's pseudolymphoma. | studies of lymphocyte markers in a patient with sjögren's syndrome who exhibited histologically benign lymphoproliferation in the lung revealed a malignant cell clone. t and b cells were quantitated according to their ability to form spontaneous rosettes with sheep erythrocytes and to fluoresce with fluorescein-conjugated antiserums, respectively. circulating lymphocytes were 66 percent t cells (n = 58 +/- 2 per cent) and 14 percent b cells (n = 22+/- 1 percent), the latter exhibiting normal pol ... | 1978 | 102190 |
| tumor-induced immunosuppression. | three tumor systems, including a mastocytoma, plasmacytomas, and a leukemia-lymphoma were studied for their ability to modify humoral immunity to sheep erythrocytes both in vivo and in vitro. all tumors resulted in a depression of the hemolytic antibody plaque-forming cell response in susceptible mice. these studies indicated that the mechanism(s) of suppression, although not fully defined, were different for each model system investigated. | 1978 | 102206 |
