reevaluation of inguinal lymph node injection for production of adjuvant arthritis in the rat.an experiment was designed to compare the efficiency of lymph node injection for the induction of adjuvant arthritis (aa) with that of conventional footpad injection in the rat. quantitative studies revealed that the minimal dose required for induction of aa by the lymph node route is one fifth of that by the footpad route. thus, the lymph node route was found to be more efficient than the footpad method in terms of higher incidence and earlier onset of aa. ppd in freund's incomplete adjuvant wa ...1976819381
a mycobacteriology proficiency testing program using simulated sputum specimens.the new york state department of health proficiency testing program in mycobacteriology determines the ability of a laboratory to isolate the acid-fast bacillus present in a simulated specimen and to identify the strain. until 1964 the specimens were autoclaved normal sputa seeded with mycobacteria. when mandatory testing was introduced by law in 1964, more specimens were needed. these have been prepared in simulated sputum bases, first skimmed milk, then granulated hog gastric mucin. the bases ...1976819397

studies on cell-wall deficient non-acid fast variants of mycobacterium tuberculosis.while the host-parasite relationship in tuberculosis still remains incompletely understood, there has been recent renewed interest in indications that tubercle bacilli are converted into metabolically inactive, non-acid fast (naf) granular forms in the presence of host defence mechanisms and antituberculosis drugs. the present study investigates the mechanism of induction of these naf variants in vitro and in vivo, and their ultimate pathogenicity. evidence is provided that appears to clearly in ...19921493235

limiting-dilution analysis of the frequency of myelin basic protein-reactive t cells in lewis, pvg/c and bn rats. implication for susceptibility to autoimmune encephalomyelitis.susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (eae), which is an autoimmune disease inducible by immunization with a brain-specific antigen in complete freund's adjuvant (cfa), is different among strains. in an attempt to resolve the immune mechanisms by which the difference in susceptibility to eae is regulated, we re-estimated susceptibility of several strains of rats, and the frequency of antigen-reactive t cells in each strain was determined by limiting-dilution analysis. eae w ...19901689693
[the effect of silicon on the tuberculous infection and immune system].our study showed that silicon not only injured cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus membrane, but also inhibited the activity of succinic dehydrogenase in monocytes and lung tissue. in such condition, the tubercle bacilli became easier to grow. the tuberculous infection was worse in guinea-pigs infused with silicon. guinea-pigs immunized by dead bcg or non-toxic tubercle bacillus h37 ra strain were shown to have some effect against pulmonary tuberculosis.19911819382
isolation and partial characterization of major protein antigens in the culture fluid of mycobacterium tuberculosis.five actively secreted proteins (mpt32, mpt45, mpt51, mpt53, and mpt63) and the mpt46 protein were purified to homogeneity from mycobacterium tuberculosis culture fluid and compared with proteins previously purified by ourselves and other investigators. antisera were obtained by immunization of rabbits with all of the newly isolated proteins identified to be immunogenic. two-dimensional electrophoresis of culture fluids obtained each week for 2 to 10 weeks of culturing of m. tuberculosis reveale ...19911898899
guinea-pig alveolar macrophages kill mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro, but killing is independent of susceptibility to hydrogen peroxide or triggering of the respiratory burst.alveolar macrophages from the lungs of guinea-pigs that had been vaccinated, boosted and then intravenously challenged with mycobacterium microti or mycobacterium bovis bcg killed tubercle bacilli phagocytosed in vitro. the killing was modest, about 40% of phagocytosed bacilli were killed in a day, but alveolar macrophages from animals that had been vaccinated and boosted but had not received the intravenous challenge did not kill bacilli. different strains of tubercle bacilli had different degr ...19911910142

[the value and need for a diagnostic animal experiment within the framework of tuberculosis diagnosis].the comparison of the results of culture and animal test for finding of mycobacteria in selected specimens, obtained in two laboratories between 1981 and 1988 shows a superiority of the animal test. taking into account adequate literature recommendations are given as well for a possible improvement of culture methods as for the indication of animal tests.19902124761
intracisternal administration of mycobacterium tuberculosis potentiates the delayed type hypersensitivity in guinea-pigs.the delayed type hypersensitivity (dth) was studied in guinea-pigs using the skin test. the mycobacterium tuberculosis (m. tbc)--was applied by various routes. the control group received ovalbumin in freund's incomplete adjuvant (fia) into the footpad. the first experimental group received ovalbumin in freund's complete adjuvant (fca) into the footpad. the other experimental groups always received, in addition to ovalbumin plus fia into the footpad, the m. tbc. 1. intracisternally, 2. intramuscu ...19902145596
a carrier method for the assessment of the effectiveness of disinfectants against mycobacterium tuberculosis.a method for testing the effect of disinfectants against mycobacterium tuberculosis was developed using glass slide carriers contaminated with myco. tuberculosis from spleens of guinea-pigs. the method was found to be useful although a greater number of colony forming units, permitting calculation of a reduction factor in the range of 10(5), is desirable. in tests with various disinfectants, alcohols were the most effective agents against myco. tuberculosis.19862870110
an evaluation of the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis fractionation method for the production of mycobacterium tuberculosis skin test preparations. ii. comparative skin testing on guinea-pigs.as part of a cooperative inter-laboratory who supported project for the fractionation of mycobacterium tuberculosis skin test preparations, four fractions (designated 15, 7, 4.75 and 3.5%) were evaluated by comparative skin tests on sensitized guinea-pigs. the 7% fraction was the most potent in both homologously and heterologously sensitized animals, and the 4.75% and 3.5% gel fractions showed the lowest activity. significant levels of cross-reactivity in guinea-pigs immunized with m. bovis bcg, ...19863093487
