the ebv-carrying, beta2m/hla deficient burkitt lymphoma line daudi is sensitive to ebv-specific killer t-cells of mononucleosis patients.the beta2-microglobulin/hla deficient burkitt lymphoma line daudi was tested for sensitivity to ebv-specific cytotoxicity mediated by natural killer (nk)-depleted t-cells from acute mononucleosis patients. while the daudi line was not as sensitive as the reference ebv-genome-positive target line, it was clearly sensitive in the majority of cases. this would speak against a major role of syngeneic restriction in this system.1979222436
hydrogenase activity in the dry state: isotope exchange and reversible oxidoreduction of cytochrome c3.hydrogenase (hydrogen:ferricytochrome c3 oxidoreductase, ec 1.12.2.1) catalyzes three types of reactions, i.e., (1) conversion between hydrogen modifications, para-h2 and ortho-h2, (2) exchange reaction between hydrogen isotopes, and (3) reversible oxidoreduction of an electron carrier with h2 and protons. we observed that purified desulfovibrio hydrogenase in the dry state could catalyze not only the conversion and exchange reactions (yagi, t., tsuda, m., mori, y. and inokuchi, h.

extraction of soluble antigens of epstein-barr virus, herpesvirus salmirl, and herpesvirus ateles with the use of glycine.for extraction of soluble antigen from cells infected with epstein-barr virus, herpesvirus salmirl, and h. ateles, 0.1 m glycine (ph 9.5) was used. this method yielded increased amounts of the antigen containing much less cell debris. lymphoblastoid cells infected with epstein-barr virus could maintain up to 50% viability after the extraction procedure. these cells could be used again after an appropriate interval in culture. the usefulness of this technique is discussed.1979220447
effects of the aflatoxins on atpase activities in mouse and rat liver.the effects of the aflatoxins on atpase activities in mouse and rat tissues were investigated in vitro. the hepatic oligomycin-sensitive (o.s.) mg++ atpase was inhibited significantly. the order of inhibition was g1 greater than b1 greater than g2 greater than b2. mouse o.s. mg++ atpase was more sensitive than the corresponding rat enzyme. the oligomycin-insensitive (o.i.) mg++ atpase activities in rat and mouse liver were not altered. although aflatoxins g1 and b1 were more potent inhibitors of ...1979220299

[blood transfusion and viral diseases. recent acquisitions concerning viral hepatitis viruses, cytomegaloviruses and epstein-barr virus].in recent years, an increasingly clear picture has been formed of the virus-induced syndromes that may follow a blood transfusion or the use of blood derivatives. up to about 10 years ago, post-infusion infection was predominantly due to serum hepatitis. blumberg's discovery of hbsag (formerly known as australia antigen) has made it possible to check and prevent viral hepatitis, type b, and to recognise such distinct forms as the mononucleosis-like syndrome caused by cytomegalic virus, infectiou ...1979219399
the actions of hormones on adenylate cyclase systems.the glucagon-sensitive adenylate cyclase system, viewed from the perspective of its behavior with isolated membrane preparations, displays far more complex regulatory characteristics than could have been envisioned from its behavior in the intact cell. what has emerged from our studies with isolated hepatic membranes is that glucagon can exert at least three actions which we believe are interdependent: desentization of the receptor, activation of adenylate cyclase, and promotion of adenosine inh ...2003219357
development of carcinoma of the breast at the site of an implanted pacemaker in two patients.we report here on two female patients who had permanent pacemakers implanted in their chests and who developed carcinoma of the breast subsequently. an association is suspected between the breast cancer and the pacemaker, which is implanted in an area which borders with the mammary gland or is even right within it. this suspicion led us lately to change in female patients the site of the subcutaneous pocket for the implantation of the pacemaker to a position higher in the chest than before. more ...1985219300
a serological assay for the detection of cell surface receptors of nerve growth factor.when single-cell suspensions prepared from embryonic day 8 (e8) chick sensory ganglia are incubated with nerve growth factor (ngf), anti-ngf antiserum, and complement, an ngf-dependent cytotoxic kill of 20 (+/- 3)% of the ganglia cells is observed. this percentage is increased by a factor of two when only the neuronal cells are tested. no kill is observed on the nonneuronal cell population representing 50% of the ganglia dissociate. when e8 sensory ganglia cells are cultured in the presence of n ...1985219297

tryptic peptide analysis of gag gene proteins of endogenous mouse type c viruses.tryptic digests of the internal proteins p30, p15, p12, and p10 of mouse xenotropic, ecotropic, and amphotropic type c viruses were subjected to cation-exchange chromatography. analysis of these maps revealed that the p30 proteins from representative isolates of all three viral subgroups were distinguishable. the p15 proteins were all unique. the p12 proteins of nzb xenotropic and wild-mouse amphotropic viruses were not identical and yielded peptide maps remarkably different from that of the eco ...1979219210
characterization of an epstein-barr virus-induced dna polymerase.the addition of iododeoxyuridine to p3hr-i cell cultures led to a large increase in both epstein-barr virus (ebv)-induced dna polymerase activity and early antigen-positive cells. this ebv-induced dna polymerase was separated from the cellular alpha- and beta-polymerases by sequential column chromatography on sepharose 6b, deae-cellulose, and phosphocellulose, resulting in partial purification of about 320-fold. the partially purified-ebv dna polymerase could be distinguished from the cellular d ...1979219209
use of heme spin-labeling to probe heme environments of alpha and beta chains of hemoglobin.a spin label attached to a propionic acid group of the heme has been used to probe the heme environment of the alpha and beta chains of hemoglobin in both the subunit and tetrameric forms. the electron paramagnetic resonance (epr) studies of hemoglobin hybrids in which the spin label is attached to either the alpha- or beta-heme (alpha2slbeta 2 or alpha2beta2sl) and spin-labeled isolated chains (alphasl and betasl) show that: 1) alpha- and beta-hemes have different environments in the tetrameric ...1985218946
cyclic nucleotides, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, and development in myxococcus xanthus.exogenous cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (pd) accelerated fruiting body (fb) formation and increased territory size of aggregates in myxococcus xanthus. both guanosine 3'5'-monophosphate (cgmp) and guanosine 5'-monophosphate (gmp) were antagonistic to the pd effect. adenosine 3'5'-monophosphate (camp) increases fb numbers twofold in the absence but not in the presence of pd. pd induction is not affected by methionine or isoleucine, which inhibit, or by threonine, which stimulates, fb format ...1978218712
an inherited anomaly of human eosinophils and basophils.inclusions staining gray or blue-gray in romanowsky treated films were found in eosinophils and basophils in a family as an autosomal dominant anomaly without overt clinical effects. associated with the inclusions were distinctive crystals which were different from the crystalloids of eosinophil granules and from charcot-leyden crystals. the restriction of the anomaly to eosinophils and basophils indicates that these are related more closely to each other than to neutrophils and mast cells, and ...1978218657
[effect of radioprotectors on camp-dependent protein phosphorylation].the capacity of radioprotectors (serotonin, aminoethylisothiuronium) to stimulate in radioprotective doses camp-dependent protein phosphorylation of the cytozol and nuclei of the mouse liver and of the spleen cytozol was shown in vivo. radioprotectors were incapable of modulating in vitro the activity of protein kinases and the stimulating effect of camp. the data presented and previous investigations suggest that the activation of camp-dependent phosphorylation by radioprotectors was due to the ...1979218656
[effect of 6n2'o-dibutyryl adenosine-3',5'-cyclomonophosphate on the protein synthesis of the subpharyngeal ganglia complex in the mollusk, helix pomatia].proteins of the helix pomatia abdominal complex were separated by electrophoresis. the electrophoretic mobility of most of the proteins was rf = 0.2--0.6. the abdominal ganglion was incubated in the medium with 1 = (4.5h3)-leucine and 2.10(-6) m 6n2'o-dibutyryladenosine-3',5'-cyclomonophosphate for 3, 6 and 24 hours. it was shown that radioactivity of specific low-mol wt neuronal proteins was increased by the former, but the latter inhibited this process.1978218655

effect of beta-lapachone on superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide production in trypanosoma cruzi.addition of beta-lapachone, an o-naphthoquinone endowed with trypanocidal properties to respiring trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes induced the release of o2- and h2o2 from the whole cells to the suspending medium. the same beta-lapachone concentration (4 micron) that released h2o2 at maximal rate completely inhibited t. cruzi growth in a liquid medium. the position isomer, alpha-lapachone, did not stimulate o2- and h2o2 release, and did not inhibit epimastigote growth. beta-lapachone was able to ...1978217340
development and regression of exercise-induced cardiac hypertrophy in rats.adult female rats were exercised by daily swimming. all the increase in heart weight induced by the exercise occurred within 14 days and averaged 30%. the half times of the increases in heart weight and total protein content were about 4.5 days, whereas that of cytochrome c, which was used as a mitochondrial marker, was 6.5 days. the total amounts of dna and of hydroxyproline in the heart, which were used to evaluate the degree of connective tissue hyperplasia, increased only slightly (8% and 10 ...1979217279

carcinomas and other lesions of the liver in mice ingesting organochlorine pesticides.carcinomas of the liver were readily induced in male and female mice given organochlorine pesticides orally. the carcinomas were predominantly hepatocellular, with a few being cholangiocellular, and varied from well differentiated to poorly differentiated to undifferentiated. they are capable of invading, metastasizing, and killing the mice. hemangiosarcomas, leimyosarcomas, and reticulum cell sarcomas were also occasionally seen in mice receiving these chemicals. hepatic vein thrombosis and hep ...1982216523
electrogenic events in the ubiquinone-cytochrome b/c2 oxidoreductase of rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides.the reductant of ferricytochrome c2 in rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides is a component, z, which has an equilibrium oxidation-reduction reaction involving two electrons and two protons with a midpoint potential of 155 mv at ph 7. under energy coupled conditions, the reduction of ferricytochrome c2 by zh2 is obligatorily coupled to an apparently electrogenic reaction which is monitored by a red shift of the endogeneous carotenoids. both ferricytochrome c2 reduction and the associated carotenoid bands ...1979216398
search for type-c oncornavirus-related genetic information in tissues from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.single-stranded 3h-dna probes complementary to the rna of rauscher murine leukemia virus and of simian sarcoma virus were prepared using techniques that permitted complete transcription of the viral genome of each virus. these probes were used in dna-dna hybridization studies with the cellular dna from uncultured specimens of spleens and placentas of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (sle). no proviral dna sequences related to these viruses were detected in these tissues. the results pr ...1978216374
effects of haemophilus influenzae vaccination on the (para-)sympathic-cyclic nucleotide-histamine axis in rats.to determine whether haemophilus influenzae could be a factor in human atopy its effects were studied on the (para-)sympathic cyclic nucleotide-histamine axis in rats. haemophilus influenzae vaccination induced changes in the cholinergic system compatible with higher cyclic gmp levels and enhanced histamine release. the authors suggest an involvement of the cholinergic system in haemophilus influenzae vaccination effects.1979216288

preoperative angiographic embolization for large hemorrhagic wilms' tumor.preoperative angiographic embolization of the renal artery is a surgical adjunct not necessary for the majority of wilms' tumors. however, on the basis of early experience, we would recommend this technique for those large vascular tumors with preoperative hemorrhage in which the risk of embolization is likely to outweight the risk of intraoperative disruption and hemorrhage.1984215737
characterization of human tk- cell lines transformed to a tk+ phenotype by herpes simplex virus type 2 dna.human tk- cells carrying the hsv-2 tk gene as a result of transformation with virus dna express a tk activity of virus origin and maintain the tk+ phenotype when grown in hat medium. under non-selective conditions, however, reversion to a tk- phenotype occurs with a significant frequency characteristic of each transformed line. once reversion has occurred the tk- phenotype appears to be stable, since only very rare instances of tk- to tk+ reversion have been observed. tk- revertants were suscept ...1979215706
penetration of cultured mouse fibroblasts (l cells) by rickettsia prowazeki.the association of rickettsia prowazeki with l cells was examined by using a novel radioactive assay in which [alpha-(32)p]atp-labeled rickettsiae were incubated with l-cell monolayers. rickettsial association with the monolayer involved adherence and internalization steps that could be experimentally distinguished. since r. prowazeki but not l cells possess an atp-adp obligate exchange transport system, addition of excess unlabeled atp resulted in exchange of the labeled atp from external, adhe ...1978215542

ribonucleic acid synthesis in rat liver during fatty acid stimulated secretion of very low density lipoproteins.production of very low density lipoproteins by the liver depends on the cellular availability of fatty acids. it is stimulated by the uptake of free fatty acids from the plasma and by increased lipogenesis and is inhibited by actinomycin d, suggesting that rna synthesis is involved in the regulation of apolipoprotein synthesis. this hypothesis has been investigated in rats in vivo and in isolated perfused livers with and without stimulation by fatty acid overload: [14c] orotate incorporation in ...1978215235
nitrogenase x: mössbauer and epr studies on reversibly oxidized mofe protein from azotobacter vinelandii op. nature of the iron centers.under anaerobic conditions the molybdenum-iron protein (mofe protein) from azotobacter vinelandii can be reversibly oxidized with thionine. electron paramagnetic resonance studies reveal that the oxidation proceeds in two distinct phases: the mofe protein can be oxidized by four electrons without loss of the epr signal from the s = 3/2 cofactor centers. a second oxidation step, involving two electrons, leads to the disappearance of the cofactor epr signal. in order to correlate the events during ...1978215215

studies on the biosynthesis of cyclitols, xxxvii. on mechanism and function of schiff's base formation as an intermediary reaction step of myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase from rat testicles.it could be shown that the formation of a schiff's base by myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase of rat testicles occurs by binding the aldehyde group of the open form of its substrate, d-glucose 6-phosphate, to a lysyl residue of one or both smaller subunits of the enzyme. the participation of the schiff's base formation in the catalytic process is supported by the observations that (a) no schiff's base is formed if nad is removed from the enzyme, and (b) in the presence of nad, the dehydrogenation ...1978214386
[production and characteristics of a djzungarian hamster cell line (dx-tk-) resistant to 5-bromodeoxyuridine].new biochemically marked djungarian hamster cell line (dx-tk-) was established. these cells are resistant to 5-bromodeoxyuridine (25 mkg/ml) and deficient in thymidine kinase activity (tk-). due to this biochemical defect they have lost the ability to grow in hat medium. dx-tk- cells are malignant. they grow as tumours after the inoculation to newborn djungarian hamsters. tumorigenecity of dx-tk- cells was decreased as compared with the parent tk+ cell line. dx-tk- cell line is a hypodiploid cel ...1986214372
physiological response to aerosol propellants.acute exposures to isobutane, propane, f-12, and f-11 in concentrations of 250, 500, or 1000 ppm for periods of 1 min to 8 hr did not produce any untoward physiological effects as determined by the methods employed which included serial ekg's and continuous monitoring of modified v5 by telemetry during exposure. repetitive exposures to these four propellants were also without measurable untoward physiological effect with the exception of the eight male subjects repetitively exposed to 1000 ppm, ...1985214300

translation of procollagen messenger rna in a cell free system derived from wheat germ: hydroxylation of prolyl residues in the product.ribonucleic acid extracted from chick embryo calvaria directs the synthesis of a collagenous product in a cell-free system. a portion of the prolyl residues incorporated into this protein can be hydroxylated in vitro by prolyl hydroxylase as demonstrated by the release of 3h-h20 from 3h-proline and by the direct demonstration of 3h-hydroxyproline in acid hydrolysates of the product. thirty percent of potential sites become hydroxylated in the in vitro reaction using either cell-free product or a ...1985214271

[chemiluminescence during oxidation of gossipol by peroxidase].gossipol oxidation with peroxidase accompanied by chemiluminescence is revealed. effect of some factors on chemiluminescence is investigated. peroxidase gossipol oxidation is suggested to be one of the causes of spontaneous cotton root luminescence. chemiluminescence in the system studied is inhibited by superoxide dismutase, which indicates the generation of superoxide anion radical. it is suggested that these radicals and other activated oxygen species are involved in the gossipol toxicity for ...1987214169
