| a role for the spleen in the appearance of igm in the bile of rats injected intravenously with horse erythrocytes. | the i.v. injection of the particulate antigens horse red blood cells (hrbc) and salmonella enteritidis into rats results in the appearance of high levels of igm agglutinating antibody in the serum and bile. this is in contrast to the appearance of specific iga antibodies in bile after the injection of antigen into the peyer's patches. at the height of the response, a fivefold to 10-fold increase in total igm was found in bile, whereas there was no increase in iga or in total protein levels. the ... | 1985 | 3998463 |
| the frequency of salmonellae on duck eggs. | total plate counts on washed duck eggs from a breeder farm on long island were less than 30/shell during the winter (january to february) of 1982. clean unwashed eggs had counts less than 9 x 10(1)/shell, whereas dirty unwashed eggs had counts as high as 9 x 10(5)/shell. our results showed that washing with a chlorine sanitizer (under commercial conditions) was highly effective in reducing surface bacterial counts on egg shells. prolonged storage reduced bacterial counts on clean eggs, but it di ... | 1985 | 4001051 |
| immunoglobulin m and immunoglobulin g responses in balb/c mice to conjugated outer membrane extracts of four salmonella serotypes. | outer membranes (oms) of salmonella enteritidis, s. anatum, s. typhimurium, and s. infantis were extracted and cross-linked with glutaraldehyde to form a large macromolecular antigen. the antigen consisted of om proteins and lipopolysaccharide and was designated 4-omp-lps. polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of extracted oms from each serotype revealed differences in protein profiles. s. enteritidis and s. infantis possessed a greater variety of proteins than did s. anatum and s. typhimurium. imm ... | 1985 | 4030094 |
| increased myocardial contractility during endotoxin shock in dogs. | the slope of the left ventricular (lv) end-systolic pressure-diameter relationship (ees) was analyzed in open-chest, pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs before and after endotoxin administration. a lead ii electrocardiogram, systemic arterial pressure, lv pressure, lv dp/dt, and lv minor axis diameter were measured. after control measurements were taken, dogs were given either 1 mg/kg salmonella enteritidis endotoxin (n = 5) or an equivalent volume of saline (n = 4). control dogs were followed for 2 ... | 1985 | 4051010 |
| local transfer of delayed-type hypersensitivity after salmonella infection in mice. | an adoptive local transfer system has been used to study the mediators of delayed-type hypersensitivity induced in mice by infection with salmonella enteritidis 11rx. the cells which transfer this state of hypersensitivity to untreated recipients are nonadherent t lymphocytes with the surface phenotype lyt 1+2-, and successful transfer requires compatibility at the i-a subregion of the h-2 complex. in these and other respects these cells are indistinguishable from those previously found to be re ... | 1985 | 4066031 |
| bacterial isolates from nsukka meat market: a zoonotic appraisal. | swabs collected from butchers hands, knives, tables and meat displayed for sale at nsukka meat market showed that every item screened was contaminated. bacteria isolated include streptococcus faecalis, coagulase positive staphylococcus, clostridium perfringens, brucella species, corynebacterium haemolyticum, proteus mirabilis, p. vulgaris, escherichia coli, salmonella enteritidis, enterobacter aerogenes, pseudomonas multophilia, p. rubescens and beta-haemolytic streptococci. the zoonotic or publ ... | 1985 | 4077409 |

| experimental salmonellosis: hypersensitivity to cell wall lipopolysaccharide and anti-infectious resistance of mice infected with salmonella. | mice infected with various strains of salmonella enteritidis and s. typhimurium were found to be more sensitive to the cell wall lipopolysaccharide (lps) extracted from certain strains of salmonella than noninfected mice. this hypersensitivity was induced by those smooth or rough strains which possessed a polysaccharide chain longer than that of a glucoseless mutant. the major antigenic group participating in this hypersensitivity was presumed to be in rough core polysaccharide sequence because ... | 1971 | 4117290 |
