| a quick and easy method for the staining of reticulocytes. | this report presents a simplification of the conventional method for the staining of reticulocytes that is easier, faster and requires no extraneous equipment. blood is applied directly to a spot of dried stain on a microscope slide. an identical slide is placed over the first and the blood and stain are mixed for about a minute. the slides are held apart by paper labels at each end. the slides are then slid apart to produce a smear on each slide. | 1979 | 92889 |
| regulation of the kidney xanthine dehydrogenase by glutaminase. | the steady-state concentrations of glutamine, glutamate and ammonia in the kidney cells might regulate the rate of renal xanthine dehydrogenase activity. both glutamate and glutamine were found to be effective inhibitors of the renal xanthine dehydrogenase activity in vivo. the inhibition by glutamate depends essentially on the glutaminase inhibition. | 1979 | 92920 |

| delayed hypersensitivity to staphylococcus aureus in mice: in vivo responses to isolated staphylococcal antigens. | the development of delayed hypersensitivity (dh) to staphylococcus aureus in swiss mice was evaluated by the footpad (fp) assay. in order to determine which component of the bacteria was responsible for the in vivo immune reactivity, purified staphylococcal cell wall, cell membrane, protein a, lipoteichoic acid, teichoic acid, as well as lipid-free membrane proteins were isolated. the immune responses of mice receiving one to eight s. aureus injections indicated that the first dh peak, following ... | 1979 | 93087 |
| extracellular aggregates of immunoglobulin in synovial fluid from rheumatoid arthritis. | particulate extracellular aggregates of immunoglobulin can be demonstrated in many whole synovial fluids from patients with rheumatoid arthritis but not in other diseases. these occur only in seropositive patients and correlate with more active inflammation and lowered synovial fluid c3. aggregates were associated with intracellular inclusions but were more abundant and always contained both igg and igm. no aggregates were seen in 50 control fluids. these aggregates are compatible with immune co ... | 1979 | 93146 |
| influence of an oversulphated heparinoid upon hyaluronate metabolism of the human synovial cell in vivo. | glycosaminoglycans appear to affect proteoglycan metabolism of fibroblasts, human synovial cells, and chondrocytes under in vitro conditions. the influence of an oversulphated heparinoid (arteparon) on hyaluronate metabolism of the human synovial lining cell was studied by in vivo experiments on human volunteers. a higher production of better polymerized hyaluronic acid was observed after repeated intraarticular injections of this heparinoid into the knees of 2 osteoarthritic patients. after a s ... | 1979 | 93148 |
| adult human skin maintained in organ culture: i. the ultrastructure of the acellular compartment of connective tissue. | collagenolytic enzymes are produced by cultured skin explants. during cultivation the acellular compartment of the dermal connective tissues is digested away. the ultrastructure of the connective tissue resorption has been studied in human skin maintained in organ culture for 2--10 weeks. the connective tissue changes are: (1) collagen fibrils with normal axial periodicity but decreasing diameters. on cross sections these fibrils have irregular outlines, while the longitudinal sections show fibr ... | 1979 | 93361 |

| effect of azacytidine on simian virus 40 nucleoprotein complexes. | simian virus 40 nucleoprotein complexes synthesized in the presence of 5-azacytidine showed small differences in sedimentation rate on neutral sucrose and buoyant density in metrizamide and cesium chloride. simian virus 40 deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) i, isolated from the nucleoprotein complexes of drug-treated cultures, was found to band at a higher buoyant density and therefore had a decreased ability to bind ethidium bromide. the data indicated that these molecules were deficient in superhelic ... | 1979 | 93427 |

| 5-hydroxytryptamine and myoclonus induced by 1,2-di-hydroxybenzene (catechol) in the guinea-pig. | myoclonus induced by catechol in the guinea-pig is not altered by manipulation of cerebral 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-ht). the administration of catechol does not alter brain levels of 5-ht or its metabolite 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid. this form of myoclonus therefore is not of relevance to the 5-ht-sensitive post-anoxic action myoclonus occurring in man. | 1979 | 93500 |
| role of the pituitary gland in experimental hormonal induction and prevention of benign prostatic hyperplasia in the dog. | the antiandrogen, cyproterone acetate (cpa), prevents development of prostatic hyperplasia, induced in castrated dogs by a 6 month-treatment with 5 alpha-androstane-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol (a)alone or in combination with 17 beta-oestradiol (e2). the immunoperoxidase technique was used to study functional cell types in the pars distalis of the pituitary gland and to detect growth hormone (gh) and prolactin (prl) target sites in the prostate gland. homologous radioimmunoassays for estimation of seru ... | 1979 | 93515 |
| surface-associated host proteins on virulent treponema pallidum. | a surface coat of host serum proteins was detected on virulent treponema pallidum by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. the loosely associated serum proteins could be removed by repeated washings in a protein-free medium. washed t. pallidum retained the ability to readsorb numerous host proteins from rabbit serum as well as iodinated rabbit or human albumin. in addition, various avidly associated host serum proteins including albumin, alpha(2)-macroglobulin, transferrin, ceruloplasmin, ... | 1979 | 93574 |

| location of bladder preganglionic neurons within the sacral parasympathetic nucleus of the cat. | sacral parasympathetic preganglionic neurons innervating the urinary bladder were labelled by applying horseradish peroxidase (hrp) to branches of the pelvic nerve at the neck of the bladder. bladder preganglionic cells were located primarily in the intermediolateral grey matter of sacral cord segments 1, 2 and 3 and extended from the ventral end of the central canal to the inferior margin of the dorsal horn. dendrites extended into the dorsolateral funiculus, toward the lateral edge of the dors ... | 1979 | 93725 |
| in vivo release of substance p in the cat substantia nigra. | push-pull cannuale were implanted into the substantia nigra (sn) and the caudate nucleus (cn) of the cat to study the in vivo release of substance p (sp), using a radioimmunoassay and high pressure liquid chromatography (hplc) analysis. the spontaneous release of sp could be detected in the sn and the cn. potassium (50 mm) locally applied stimulated sp release in both structures. furthermore an important evoked release of sp was observed in the sn during depolarization of striato-nigral sp fiber ... | 1979 | 93729 |
