| some effects of prostaglandins e1 and e2 and of endotoxin injected into the hypothalamus of young chicks: dissociation between endotoxin fever and the effects of prostaglandins. | prostaglandins e1 and e2 elevated body temperature of young chicks when injected into the hypothalamus at thermoneutrality (31 degrees c). in contrast, they lowered body temperature when so injected below thermoneutrality (16degreesc): the relation of the fall in body temperature to increased heat loss and decreased heat production was examined. 2 the above effects below thermoneutrality were potentiated by pretreatment with inhibitors of prostaglandin synthetase and possible reasons for this po ... | 1977 | 334308 |
| construction of plasmid cloning vehicles that promote gene expression from the bacteriophage lambda pl promoter. | two multiple-copy, cole1-type, plasmid cloning vehicles, phub2 and phub4, have been constructed that carry four different single restriction sites down-stream from the phage lambda promoter pl. the promoting activity of pl is switched off at low temperature in the presence of a cits gene that specifies a temperature-sensitive repressor but could be activated by heat induction. cits was located either on the host chromosome, or on a second plasmid prk248 that is compatible with the cloning vehicl ... | 1979 | 372049 |
| shigella vaginitis: report of 38 patients and review of the literature. | thirty-eight cases of shigella vaginitis were identified in a retrospective review of records kept over the past 14 years. the cases of vaginitis were due to three subgroups of shigella. vaginitis varied in severity and duration, persisting for several months in some instances. in 47% of the cases, there was associated bloody vaginal discharge. only two children had diarrhea temporally associated with vaginitis, but six others had had diarrhea. many treatment modalities were used. systemic antib ... | 1979 | 375177 |

| high-resolution phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of yeast phenylalanine transfer ribonucleic acid. melting curves and relaxation effects. | in a continuation of our studies on structural effects on the 31p chemical shifts of nucleic acids, we present 31p nmr spectra of yeast phenylalanine trna in the presence and absence of mg2+. superconducting field (146 mhz) and 32-mhz 31p nmr spectra reveal approximately 15 nonhelical diester signals spread over approximately 7 ppm besides the downfield terminal 3'-phosphate monoester. in the presence of 10 mm mg2+, most scattered and main cluster signals do not shift between 22--66 degrees c, t ... | 1979 | 383146 |
| artificial salmonella vaccines: o-antigenic oligosaccharide-protein conjugates induce protection against infection with salmonella typhimurium. | outbred mice were vaccinated with various artificial salmonella vaccines and subsequently challenged intraperitoneally with graded doses of virulent salmonella typhimurium. the salmonella vaccines used were: (i) octasaccharide, obtained by hydrolysis of the o-antigenic polysaccharide chain of s. typhimurium strain sh 4809 with phage p22-associated endo-rhamnosidase and covalently linked to either diphtheria toxin or edestine; (ii) purified outer membrane proteins (porins) from s. typhimurium; an ... | 1979 | 387597 |
| somatic antigens of shigella. the strucuture of the specific polysaccharide chain of shigella dysenteriae type 5 lipopolysaccharide. | the specific polysaccharide was released from shigella dysenteriae type 5 lipopolysaccharide by mild acidic hydrolysis and then purified by gel chromatography on sephadex g-50. the polysaccharide was built up of residues of d-mannose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucose, 3-0-(d-1-carboxyethyl)-l-rhamnose (rhamnolactylic acid) and 0-acetyl groups in a ratio 2:1:1:1. on the basis of radiospectroscopy, methylation analysis, smith degradation, and chromium trioxide oxidation, the repeating oligosaccharide ... | 1977 | 334537 |
| epidemiology of shigella dysenteriae, type 1 infections, in dacca urban area. | a prospective study of 47 families with an index case of shigella dysenteriae type 1 was conducted in the urban areas of dacca. the subsequent infection rates in contacts type 1 were 30.6% and 28.3% in the age groups 0--4 and 5--9. total secondary infection rate was 20.4% with rates in males higher than in females. among the contacts 12.5% developed diarrhoea caused by the same serotype, but 22.1% developed diarrhoea with undiagnosed causes. for one hospitalised case there were seven symptomatic ... | 1979 | 388775 |

| shigella dysenteriae 1-like cytotoxic enterotoxins produced by salmonella strains. | a salmonella enteritidis strain produced a cytotoxin in addition to heat-labile (lt) and heat-stable (st) enterotoxins. two strains of serotypes salmonella kapemba and salmonella thompson were lt and st negative, but exhibited a cytotoxic effect. after sephadex g-100 fractionation of the crude s. enteritidis material, some high and low molecular fractions had both cytotonic and cytotoxic activities. of the two other salmonellae, only some high molecular fractions contained the cytotoxic substanc ... | 1979 | 396765 |
| some effects of intravenous prostaglandin e, and endotoxin in young chickens. | 1 the effects of intravenous prostaglandin e1 and endotoxin were studied in young chickens (11-17 days old). 2 at a thermoneutral ambient temperature (31 degrees c), intravenous prostaglandin e1, produced behavioural and electrocortical sleep, increased oxygen consumption and, after an initial fall, elevated body temperature. below thermoneutrality (16 degrees c), the initial hypothermic effect was more marked and oxygen consumption was lowered. 3 the soporific actions of prostaglandin e1 were s ... | 1977 | 334307 |
