| dermatophilosis among wild raccoons in new york state. | dermatophilus congolensis was established as the cause of dermatitis in 8 raccoons, as determined from examination of carcasses and untreated hides. encrusted lesions were restricted to or more pronounced in the areas around the eyes, along the snout, and on the skin in the tarsal and carpal regions. the causative agent was demonstrated through direct examination of stained paraffin sections, isolation in pure culture, or examination of stained smears from lesions induced experimentally in rabbi ... | 1976 | 977468 |
| laboratory studies of a lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus outbreak in man and laboratory animals. | investigation of an outbreak of prolonged febrile illness in medical center personnel at the university of rochester school of medicine and dentistry revealed lymphocytic choriomeningitis (lcm) virus to be the causative agent. syrian or golden hamsters (mesocricetus auratus) were found to be the only animals involved in maintaining the virus and were the source of human infections. isolations of lcm virus were made from autopsy specimens of 13 of 46 (28%) golden hamsters. virus isolations were m ... | 1975 | 1163529 |
| homer smith award. cellular mechanisms in proximal tubular pi reabsorption: some answers and more questions. | inorganic phosphate (pi) is reabsorbed mainly in the proximal tubule, by a second active na-dependent transport mechanism. na/pi cotransport with a stoichiometry exceeding unity mediates uphill flux across the brush border membrane; at the basolateral cell surface, two separate transport systems are involved in equilibrating pi fluxes. the protein structure of a rabbit renal cortex na/pi cotransport system has been identified recently by expression cloning. the regulation of tubular pi reabsorpt ... | 1992 | 1498272 |
| chemical and biological investigations of a transformer accident at binghamton, ny. | a transformer fire occurred in a state office building in binghamton, ny on february 5, 1981. particulates from inside surfaces of ceiling panels on 16 of the 17 floors had concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (pcdfs) ranging from less than 1 part per million (ppm) to 1200 ppm while polychlorinated biphenyl (pcb) concentrations varied from 28 ppm to 23,000 ppm. in spite of the wide variations in contaminant concentrations, complete analytical data from 11 floors showed that there was ... | 1985 | 2411536 |
| antigenically variable borrelia burgdorferi isolated from cottontail rabbits and ixodes dentatus in rural and urban areas. | spirochetes were isolated from 71 subadult ixodes dentatus removed from cottontail rabbits captured in millbrook, n.y., and in new york, n.y. spirochetes were also cultured from kidney tissues of six rabbits. while all isolates reacted with monoclonal antibody h9724, which identifies the spirochetes as borreliae, more than half did not bind with antibody h5332 and even fewer reacted with h3ts, both of which were produced to outer surface protein a of borrelia burgdorferi. sodium dodecyl sulfate- ... | 1989 | 2913024 |
| spirochetes in ticks and antibodies to borrelia burgdorferi in white-tailed deer from connecticut, new york state, and north carolina. | ticks were screened for spirochetes and serum samples from white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) were assayed for antibodies to borrelia burgdorferi during 1983-1984. using fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled rabbit antibodies produced to b. burgdorferi, the etiologic agent of lyme disease, spirochetes were detected in ixodes dammini (10.5% of 1,193) and dermacentor albipictus (0.6% of 157) adults from connecticut, i. dammini nymphs (49.1% of 108) and adults (64.7% of 99) from armonk, new yo ... | 1986 | 3520030 |

| genetic polymorphism of human c4-binding protein. | two different forms of human c4-bp, c4-bp a and c4-bp b, have been identified by isoelectric focusing (ief) of neuraminidase-treated edta-plasma samples. family studies demonstrate mendelian segregation of these forms, indicating that they are under gentic control. this conclusion is supported by ief analysis of the two variants purified by affinity chromatography. under completely denaturing conditions, c4-bp b was found to be composed of two subunits that focused at different ph, whereas c4-bp ... | 1983 | 6886425 |
