pseudotypes of feline sarcoma virus contain an 85,000-dalton protein with feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen (focma) activity.feline sarcoma virus (fesv) rescued from transformed nonproducer mink or rat cells contains two fesv-specific antigens (p15 and p12), and the feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen (focma). all three antigens are helper virus-independent and are encoded by the fesv genome, focma, p15, and p12 antigens cochromatograph as phosphorylated molecules of 85,000 molecular weight (pp85), adsorb to immunoadsorbant columns prepared with antibodies to feline leukemia virus (felv), and are prec ...1978206902
unmyelinated nerve fibres in feline acrylamide neuropathy.electronmicroscope studies have been performed on the greater splanchnic nerve and the nerve to the medial head of gastrocnemius muscle of control and acrylamide poisoned cats. degeneration of unmyelinated as well as of myelinated fibres was observed in both nerves. in cats severely poisoned with acrylamide, some very large unmyelinated axons undergoing early degeneration were seen in the splanchnic nerve. in the nerve to medial head of gastrocnemius, there was a decrease in the proportion of la ...1978207070
fluid transfer from skeletal muscle to blood during hemorrhage. importance of beta adrenergic vascular mechanisms.vascular reactions in the cat lower leg in response to short-term (10 min) hemorrhagic hypotension (approximately 80 mmhg) were studied before and after regional blockade of the beta-adrenoceptors. in the muscle region with intact beta-adrenoceptors, hemorrhage raised vascular resistance by about 80% and caused a dilatation of the precapillary sphincters, the latter effect evidenced in terms of a 35% increase of the capillary filtration coefficient. concomitantly, an absorption of extravascular ...1978207084
cerebral arterial spasm. ii. etiology and treatment of experimental cerebral vasospasm.delayed cerebral vasospams is caused by excessive accumulation of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (dbh) and noradrenaline in cerebral vessel walls. this study demonstrates the mechanisms of delayed spasm, particularly the role of red blood cell components, and the successful relief of delayed cerebral vasospasm. spasmogenic substances which contained a heme component, such as methemoglobin, methemalbumin and catalase enhanced dbh activity in human serum as measured by a one step chemical spectrophotom ...1978207156
factors influencing the correction factor used to eliminate the apparent nadh fluorescence changes caused by alterations in cerebrocortical blood content. 1977207162
transient metabolic and vascular volume changes following rapid blood pressure alterations which precede the autoregulatory vasodilation of cerebrocortical vessels.it has been shown by surface fluoro-reflectometry that stepwise decrease of arterial blood pressure causes a biphasic cerebrocortical vascular volume response. after the arterial blood pressure decrease the vascular volume first decreased and later increased. in both parts of the biphasic reflectance change, the cerebrocortical nad-nadh redox state shifted considerably towards reduction and there was no reoxidation after the onset of cortical vasodilatation. since a very rapid nadh reduction occ ...1977207169

correlation between inhibition of (na+, k+)-membrane-atpase and positive inotropic activity of cardenolides in isolated papillary muscles of guinea pig.concentrations of 17 cardenolides, cardenolide glucuronides and sulfates producing half-maximal inhibition of (na+, k+)-membrane-atpase from different organs and animal species were determined in vitro. in addition the concentrations that increased the contractility of guinea pig isolated papillary muscles to a particular level were investigated. comparisons between atpase-inhibiting and positive inotropic cardiac activities showed extensive parallelism: the correlation coefficients after log/lo ...1978211447
unit activity in the cat visual cortex in the sleep--waking cycle.changes in spontaneous unit activity in the primary visual cortex during the sleep-waking cycle were studied in chronic experiments on dark-adapted cats. in the cell poulation studied activity in states of wakefulness and of paradoxical sleep did not differ significantly either in mean discharge frequency or in pattern. activity of most cells in a state of slow sleep differed significantly from that in states of wakefulness and paradoxical sleep by the development of a "burst-pause" pattern in t ...1977211461

cells nonproductively transformed by abelson murine leukemia virus express a high molecular weight polyprotein containing structural and nonstructural components.cell clones nonproductively transformed by the replication-defective abelson strain of murine leukemia virus (ablv) were analyzed for type c viral antigen expression by competition immunoassay. ablv-transformed mink non-producer lines were found to express a 110,000- to 130,000-molecular weight polyprotein containing murine leukemia virus gag proteins p15 and p12 covalently linked to nonstructural ablv-coded component(s) of around 80,000-100,000 molecular weight. this polyprotein lacked detectab ...1978211510
