antigenic changes associated with liver carcinogenesis.carcinogen-induced experimental hepatomas are often characterized by new individually distinct antigens capable of inducing tumor immunity in syngeneic hosts. these antigens arise as a consequence of cell-carcinogen interaction and may result from modification or replacement of normal cell-surface components. their role in immunosurveillance is not established, but they offer a target for tumor immunotherapy. reexpressed fetal antigens have also been detected, either as secretory products (alpha ...197989200
clinical aspects of alpha 1-fetoprotein determination in human liver cancer and in humans and experimental animals at carcinogenic risk.recent findings concerning the significance of alpha 1-fetoprotein (afp) as a tool for clinical diagnosis and monitoring of tumor diseases are reviewed briefly. the applicability of this protein marker to the early diagnosis of patients at carcinogenic risk is discussed. in addition, experimental data obtained with a model of chemical hepatocarcinogenesis are reported. the increase of proliferative activity in precancerous liver tissue preceded afp production under experimental conditions with a ...197989199
definition of cellular immune responses to brain antigens in human head trauma.cellular immune responses to brain antigens in patients with head injury were studied by applying the leukocyte adherence inhibition (lai) assay. the investigation was conducted in three phases. 1) in the initial phase, evaluation of a series of 22 test and 25 control cases obtained at random during a 2- to 6-week time frame following a traumatic event indicated significant non-adherence of leukocytes (nal) in 77% of the test group and 20% of the control group in the presence of brain antigen. 2 ...197989190
unusual artifacts in electrocardiographic monitoring.three unusual artifacts noted during holter and telemetry monitoring, not previously described, are presented. recognition of the artifacts prevented misinterpretation and wrong treatment. the clues to the identification of the artifacts and the need for avoiding wrong interpretation and inappropriate treatment are discussed. the cause of the telemetry artifact is discussed.199989181
cyclic gmp system in epidermis: i. effect of ischemia.when keratome-sliced pig epidermis was floated on hank's balanced salt solution, we observed a rapid decrease in the intracellular level of cyclic gmp. a portion of the lost cyclic gmp was detected in the incubation medium. when the epidermis was kept in air at room temperature, the cyclic gmp level also decreased rapidly but to a lesser degree. incubating the epidermal slice at 37 degrees c in hank's balanced salt solution with the addition of 3-isobutyl-1-methyl xanthine (ibmx) prevented the d ...197989173
agarose isoelectric focusing of native human immunoglobulin m and alpha 2-macroglobulin.the resolution of native 19s igm and alpha 2-macroglobulin by agarose isoelectric focusing is described. the agarose used was practically charge free, thus avoiding disadvantages of electroendoosmosis, and gives a very large network gel, with minimal molecular sieving effects. the resolving power is comparable to that obtained in thin-layer isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gel. clones of human igm showed a microclonal heterogeneity, similar to igg antibody heterogeneity, alpha 2-macroglobu ...197989171
inheritance of tolerance susceptibility to human gamma-globulin in congenic mice.the genetic control of susceptibility to tolerance induction with human gamma-globulin (hgg) was studied by using h-2 congenic mice. strains tested that were congenic with c57bl/10sn were completely tolerized by 1.0 mg deaggregated hgg. in contrast a/sn mice showed full tolerance whereas a.sw mice were only intermediately tolerant. it was further shown that (b10 x sjl)f1 mice could be rendered tolerant but (b10.s x sjl)f1 mice could not. these data indicate a role for h-2 linked genes in control ...197989162

methylmercury hydroxide enhancement of translation and transcription of ovalbumin and conalbumin mrna's.translation of total mrna in heterologous protein-synthesizing systems is often employed as an indirect means of assessing relative mrna concentrations. however, it is well known that the efficiency of translation of specific mrnas differs. one such example is the poor translational efficiency of conalbumin mrna relative to ovalbumin mrna. in this report we have studied the translation of conalbumin and ovalbumin mrnas in crude mrna preparations and with highly purified mrna preparations. we fin ...197989113
differential inducibility of epstein-barr virus in cloned, non-producer raji cells.cells of the human lymphoblastoid non-producer line raji were cloned in soft agar. individual colonies were isolated and analyzed for their inducibility of the epstein-barr virus-associated early antigen (ea). the induction of ea by the tumor promoter tpa varied among the different cell clones. clones with very high and very low inducibility of the resident epstein-barr virus genome were further analyzed. constant differences in the inducibility of ea were observed after activation by tumor prom ...197989100
autoregulation of germ tube formation by candida albicans.germ tube formation by candida albicans is at least partially controlled by a product(s) of the yeast phase of the organism which is released from cells upon incubation at 37 degrees c in tissue culture medium or fetal calf serum. this germination regulatory substance is stable under conditions of lyophilization and heating of 70 degrees c, but becomes inactivated at ph values of 4.0 and 9.5. a germination regulatory substance was produced by both strains of c. albicans tested and by a strain of ...197989087
immunological unresponsiveness in mice. ii. cellular basis of immunological unresponsiveness induced in foetal and neonatal mice by transfer of human gamma-globulin by the maternal route.the cellular basis of the mechanism of immunological tolerance to human gamma-globulin (h gamma g) induced in foetal and neonatal mice by materno-foetal or materno-neonatal transfer after a single injection of tolerogen (deaggregated h gamma g) into the mothers was investigated using a cell transfer system and assays of passive haemagglutinating antibodies and plaque-forming cells to h gamma g. the results demonstrated that b cells are mainly involved in the tolerance induced on the fourteenth d ...197989080
