high-resolution phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of yeast phenylalanine transfer ribonucleic acid. melting curves and relaxation effects.in a continuation of our studies on structural effects on the 31p chemical shifts of nucleic acids, we present 31p nmr spectra of yeast phenylalanine trna in the presence and absence of mg2+. superconducting field (146 mhz) and 32-mhz 31p nmr spectra reveal approximately 15 nonhelical diester signals spread over approximately 7 ppm besides the downfield terminal 3'-phosphate monoester. in the presence of 10 mm mg2+, most scattered and main cluster signals do not shift between 22--66 degrees c, t ...1979383146
artificial salmonella vaccines: o-antigenic oligosaccharide-protein conjugates induce protection against infection with salmonella typhimurium.outbred mice were vaccinated with various artificial salmonella vaccines and subsequently challenged intraperitoneally with graded doses of virulent salmonella typhimurium. the salmonella vaccines used were: (i) octasaccharide, obtained by hydrolysis of the o-antigenic polysaccharide chain of s. typhimurium strain sh 4809 with phage p22-associated endo-rhamnosidase and covalently linked to either diphtheria toxin or edestine; (ii) purified outer membrane proteins (porins) from s. typhimurium; an ...1979387597
isolation of haemin-requiring mutants of escherichia coli k12.fifty-five haemin-requiring mutants were isolated from haemin-permeable mutants. according to their growth responses to haem precursors and their patterns of porphyrin accumulation, the 55 mutants fell into three groups which were judged to have defects in 5-aminolaevulinate dehydratase, ferrochelatase, and uroporphyrinogen iii cosynthase or uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase. in mutants of the group deficient in 5-aminolaevulinate dehydratase, the mutations were adjacent to lac, and evidence is pre ...1979387909
epidemiology of shigella dysenteriae, type 1 infections, in dacca urban area.a prospective study of 47 families with an index case of shigella dysenteriae type 1 was conducted in the urban areas of dacca. the subsequent infection rates in contacts type 1 were 30.6% and 28.3% in the age groups 0--4 and 5--9. total secondary infection rate was 20.4% with rates in males higher than in females. among the contacts 12.5% developed diarrhoea caused by the same serotype, but 22.1% developed diarrhoea with undiagnosed causes. for one hospitalised case there were seven symptomatic ...1979388775

shigella dysenteriae 1-like cytotoxic enterotoxins produced by salmonella strains.a salmonella enteritidis strain produced a cytotoxin in addition to heat-labile (lt) and heat-stable (st) enterotoxins. two strains of serotypes salmonella kapemba and salmonella thompson were lt and st negative, but exhibited a cytotoxic effect. after sephadex g-100 fractionation of the crude s. enteritidis material, some high and low molecular fractions had both cytotonic and cytotoxic activities. of the two other salmonellae, only some high molecular fractions contained the cytotoxic substanc ...1979396765
enterotoxins of enteric bacteria--a review.a review of the enterotoxins of enteric bacteria was compiled, taking into account recent developments of the field as well as results of the author's own research work. after characterization of enterotoxins of different origin, their pathogenic role is described, with special attention to the genetic background of these agents. the possible use of enterotoxins for active immunization purposes is also discussed.1979399581

immunization with shigella dysenteriae type 1: evaluation of antitoxic immunity in prevention of experimental disease in rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta).the role of serum antitoxic antibody in protection against the dysentery caused by shigella dysenteriae type 1 (shiga's bacillus) was studied in monkeys fed 10(10) virulent organisms after parenteral immunization with a formalin-inactivated shiga toxoid preparation standardized in mice. two 125-microgram doses of toxoid adsorbed on aluminum hydroxide adjuvant and given 14 days apart provided mice with a 54-fold increase in resistance to parenteral toxin. in rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta), the s ...1977409782
effect of some bacterial products on platelet electrophoretic mobility (pem).bacterial lps, used in our experiments, are able to decrease pem at concentration of 100 microgram/ml after incubation with 1 x 10(7) platelets/ml for 30 min at 37 degrees c. such effect is statistically significant for bacteroides fragilis lps, s. enteritidis and s. typhi. e. coli lps 026:b6 w and e. coli 055:b5 w are not effective at all, s. minnesota (incomplete) lps 595 and 345 free of 0-polysaccharide and partially lacking core in their molecule did not influence pem, while s. minnesota lps ...1977410424
