apparent propagation of the equine infectious anemia virus in a mosquito (culex pipiens quinquefasciatus say) ovarian cell line. | a tissue culture of culex pipiens quinquefasciatus say ovarian cells appeared to support the growth of equine infectious anemia (eia) virus. shetland ponies inoculated with 2nd, 7th, 9th, and 11th passages of mediums harvested from infected tissue culture had clinical signs of the disease and became eia positive on 11, 19, 23, and 43 days after inoculation, respectively. | 1976 | 183574 |
purification and characterization of equine infectious anemia virus. | eia virus was purified from equine fetal kidney cell cultures by peg-precipitation, two sucrose-gradient sedimentations (5-30 per cent) and (25 to 60 per cent) centrifugation, using the immunodiffusion test to follow the procedure. purified eia virus had a density (20 degrees c) of 1.162 and a sedimentation constant of s20w=656. electron microscopy revealed a particle of about 100 nm in diameter with a very flexible but usually spherical shape. the dense core may be at various locations inside t ... | 1976 | 183628 |
equine herpesviruses. 6. sequential infection of horses with types 2, 3 and 1. | the immunological and virological status of 3 foals in respect of equine herpesviruses (ehv) was established and the foals were sequentially infected with ehv2, ehv3 and ehv1. following experimental infection with ehv2, no clinical signs of disease were observed in any foal. the inoculation of ehv3 into the genital tract resulted in lesions of the mucous membrane and perineal skin that were considered typical of equine coital exanthema. following intransal inoculation of ehv3 extensive ulceratio ... | 1976 | 183644 |

lithogenic bile after conjugated estrogen. | reference is made to a previous paper by bennion et al. describing t he effects of contraceptive steroids on the lipid composition of gall bladder bile. a similar rise in cholesterol saturation of hepatic bile was observed after giving conjugated equine estrogens (.5 mg/kg) to 7 fa sting patients with indwelling t-tubes. liver function tests were norma l and bile culture was negative. 1 ml of hepatic bile was collected aft er 6, 12, and 24 hours for lipid determinations. the administration o ... | 1976 | 184386 |
metalloprotein electron transfer reactions: analysis of reactivity of horse heart cytochrome c with inorganic complexes. | the reactions of horse heart cytochrome c with fe(ethylenediaminetetraacetate)2-, co(1,10-phenanthroline)3(3+), ru(nh3)6(2+), and fe(cn)6(3-) have been analyzed within the formalism of the marcus theory of outer-sphere electron transfer, including compensation for electrostatic interactions. calculated protein self-exchange rate constants based on crossreactions are found to vary over three orders of magnitude, decreasing according to fe(cn)6(3-) greater than ru(nh3)6(2+) greater than fe(edta)2- ... | 1976 | 184452 |
dissociation and rate constants of some human liver alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzymes. | adh from human liver forms binary complexes with nadh, associated with a blue shift of the peak of the fluorescence emission of nadh. the wavelength shift is the same for all isoenzymes but the accompanying intensification of the fluorescence is different. the fluorescence is further increased by the formation of the very tight ternary enzyme-nadh-isobutyramide complexes. these properties are similar to those for the horse liver adh, as well as the molecular weight of e=40 000 per active site of ... | 1976 | 184631 |
